“[Stuttering] has turned into my conversation piece…When you are going to a business meeting it is something to talk about other than business. My stuttering has become my business tool. That’s how I break the ice…It lets people let down their own guard a little bit. That’s why I’m good at moving people. That’s why I can negotiate contracts. Stuttering is my blessing.”–Nick Weaver
