“I was labeled the ‘dumb kid’ that couldn’t read or write, coming all through to when I was graduating in high school,” Corcoran told CNBC Make It. As a result, she was a straight-D student throughout her childhood.

But Corcoran didn’t allow this to stop her from achieving success. Now, she even says “dyslexia made me a millionaire,” as she wrote on LinkedIn on Monday.

“I spent 6 hours a day daydreaming in class, and by 3rd grade I just gave up,” she wrote on LinkedIn. “My mom’s response was, ‘Don’t worry about it. You have a wonderful imagination; you’ll learn to fill in the blanks.’ That was powerful for me, and I’ve leaned on that my whole life.”
