Promotional video clip from “Cultivation of the Individual” a conversation with Robert Toth. Mr. Toth is an accomplished artist and advocate for the “learning disabled.” It is personal for him. He tells his story of struggling in school and failing the fourth grade 3 times. But he describes with enthusiasm his eventual triumph when he becomes the top of his class in art school and how an article in Reader’s Digest lead to an epiphany that helped him to go on and form his own company and create a career as an artist working as a painter, sculptor and designer.
