Emma Grede is the businesswoman behind major fashion brands including Skims and Good American, which she co-founded with Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian, respectively. Last year Forbes included her on their list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, with an estimated net worth of $405 million.She grew up in Plaistow, East London, the eldest of four daughters. Her parents separated when she was five and she was raised by her mum, who worked long hours as a trader at an investment bank. Emma took on a lot of the responsibility at home caring for her sisters. Dyslexia meant she struggled at school, but she found satisfaction in a string of part-time jobs, from delivering newspapers to making sandwiches in a deli. She later dropped out of the London College of Fashion to pursue a career in the industry, and by her mid-twenties she had founded her first company. She made her name brokering deals between celebrities and brands that included signing Natalie Portman as the face of Dior. In 2016 she founded an inclusive denim brand called Good American with Khloé Kardashian, and in 2019 she launched the shapewear brand Skims with Kim Kardashian. Lately her success has led her out of the boardroom and into the spotlight with guest appearances on Dragon's Den, and the US equivalent Shark Tank, as well as launching a podcast and writing a memoir. Emma lives in Los Angeles with her husband and business partner Jens, and they have four children.Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Hannah Hufford and Christine PawlowskyDesert Island Discs has cast away many fashion leaders to the island over the years including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith.

What if everything we know about teaching reading is upside down? In this episode of Trending in Education, host Mike Palmer sits down with tech entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and innovator David Chalk to unpack a remarkable story of literacy, neurodiversity, trauma, and redemption. Key Highlights & Discussion Points:

This week, Dr. Karen Wilson is touching upon resilience and how our definition of it can sometimes be part of the problem. She challenges the idea that resilience means pushing through stress, staying quiet, or succeeding no matter the emotional cost. After all, a child who appears to be thriving on the outside may actually be running on empty. After a recent conversation with a parent, Dr. Wilson felt inspired to explain why good grades, athletic success, and responsible behavior don't always reflect a child's well-being, and she explores the important difference between coping and genuinely thriving, especially for children with learning and thinking differences who may work far harder than their peers while hiding their struggles. In this episode, Dr. Wilson shares six practical ways that parents can encourage resilience without fueling burnout. She discusses why it's important to recognize effort instead of focusing solely on outcomes, make room for genuine recovery, reduce pressure to be perfect, encourage emotional honesty, recognize early warning signs of burnout, and help children understand their worth extends far beyond achievement. Whether your child is entering a new school, adjusting to new routines, or facing the everyday demands of growing up, this conversation offers thoughtful reminders about what healthy resilience really looks like. Rather than teaching children to suppress their needs, Dr. Wilson makes the case for helping them recognize stress, seek support, recover from setbacks, and build confidence in ways that protect their mental health for years to come. Show Notes: [1:13] - Dr. Wilson reminds us that just because a child seems to be coping well doesn't necessarily mean that they are thriving. [4:09] - Dr. Wilson recommends paying attention to a child's effort, not just their outcomes. [5:00] - It's important to build rest and recovery time into a child's week. [6:11] - Perfectionism is not necessary, so don't add pressure by encouraging it. [7:33] - We should encourage emotional honesty. [8:29] - Instead of waiting for a burnout crisis, look for early signs of it. [9:35] - We are encouraged to help children and teens see that their worth goes beyond just academic achievement. [10:51] - In closing, Dr. Wilson reminds us that healthy resilience means facing challenges while recognizing stress and protecting mental well-being.

"Dyslexia is not a disease." It simply needs comfort & patience... Taking the time to understand how dyslexia works is the first step to offer help, says our guest this week, remedial therapist, Elizna Prinsloo. From the age of 5, signs of dyslexia might become more prevalent, but without understanding the concept, both parents and teachers might think a child is simply stubborn or lazy. Children could be bullied, mistreated, or shunned. Learn more about Dyslexia in this discussion that opens our minds to a new way of thinking about this condition.

Is your child struggling to read or write—and what if the problem isn't intelligence, effort, or motivation, but that your child simply learns differently?Russell Van Brocklen knows that struggle personally. He shares his personal story with Reginald D, how he experienced severe dyslexia, went through college reading and writing around a first-grade level, struggled through special education, and later learned to read in law school before dedicating his work to dyslexia research and helping parents understand how dyslexic children learn.What do you do when your child is struggling with reading and writing, falling behind in school, or beginning to believe they're simply not smart enough?In this powerful inspirational and educational episode, Reginald D sits down with dyslexia professor Russell Van Brocklen for an eye-opening conversation about dyslexia, learning differences, reading difficulties, writing struggles, education, parenting, ADHD, confidence, perseverance, and helping dyslexic children learn differently.Russell's connection to dyslexia isn't simply professional—it's personal.Growing up with severe dyslexia, Russell says he struggled to read and write throughout school and remained around a first-grade reading and writing level during college. He recalls being in special education, feeling frustrated with the traditional educational process, and eventually reaching a breaking point after accommodations made during a New York State Assembly internship were rejected academically by his university.That experience changed the direction of his life.Russell eventually entered law school, where he says he learned to read within approximately a month and developed his writing ability over the following years. He later secured funding for dyslexia research and began developing an approach designed around how he believes the dyslexic brain processes and organizes information differently.During this inspirational interview, Russell explains why he believes many traditional approaches to dyslexia don't produce the results parents expect and shares strategies he uses to help children develop their reading and writing abilities.One of his central messages to parents is to stop assuming a struggling child isn't intelligent.Russell encourages parents to identify a child's “area of extreme interest and ability” and use that interest to increase engagement during learning. He walks Reginald through a practical writing exercise involving a child's interest in basketball and explains how he uses writing, word analysis, articulation, repetition, and reading aloud as part of his approach.Russell also shares stories from students and families he has worked with, including children who, according to him, made dramatic improvements in reading and writing after using these methods. These are Russell's reported experiences and outcomes from his own work, rather than independently verified results presented in the episode.But perhaps one of the most important moments comes when Reginald asks what parents should do when a child says:“I'm dumb.”Russell's answer is simple: tell them they're not dumb—they learn differently.That message makes this conversation bigger than reading scores. It's about protecting a child's confidence while helping them discover a way of learning that works for them.If you're raising a dyslexic child, parenting a child struggling with reading or writing, navigating learning disabilities or learning differences, homeschooling, dealing with ADHD, or trying to understand why a bright child is struggling academically, this episode offers education, encouragement, practical ideas, and a different perspective.This inspirational story also demonstrates the power of perseverance, self-improvement, education, resilience, personal growth, purpose, and motivation. Russell went from struggling severely with reading and writing himself to dedicating his life to helping other families facing similar challenges.When a child repeatedly struggles with something that seems easy for classmates, frustration can quickly become something much more damaging:“Maybe I'm just not smart.”That's why this episode matters.Parents may spend enormous amounts of time, energy, and money searching for the right tutoring, accommodations, school, or educational strategy while still wondering why their child isn't progressing.Russell challenges you to reconsider the assumption that every child should learn in exactly the same way.His own inspirational journey also provides a powerful message for anyone who has ever been defined by what they couldn't do: your struggle may eventually lead you toward your purpose.Discover why a child who struggles with dyslexia, reading, writing, ADHD, or other learning differences may need a different learning approach rather than simply being told to work harder.Learn practical strategies Russell recommends to parents, including identifying a child's strongest interests, using writing as a measurable learning tool, reading work aloud, correcting mistakes through repetition, and gradually building from sentences toward more advanced writing.Hear an inspirational and motivational story of how Russell went from severe struggles with reading and writing to law school, dyslexia research, and helping parents support children facing some of the same educational challenges he experienced.Press play now to hear Russell Van Brocklen's inspirational journey with dyslexia and discover practical ideas that could help you better understand, encourage, and support a child struggling to read and write.Russell's Contact Information:Free Guide:  Describes the three reasons your child's dyslexic education isn't working and what to do about it. https://mailchi.mp/dcacd9a6f9ae/3-reasons-ebookWebsite: https://dyslexiaclasses.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dyslexiaclassesusLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-van-brocklen-2007ab87Email: dyslexiaclasses1@gmail.comdyslexia, dyslexia in children, dyslexic child, signs of dyslexia, child struggling to read,  dyslexia help for parents, dyslexia strategies, dyslexia and ADHD, Russell Van Brocklen, inspirational, motivational, motivation, motivational speech, motivational and inspirational, inspirational stories, self improvement,  reading difficulties, reading problems, writing difficulties, learning differenceSend us Fan MailSupport the showFor daily motivation and inspiration, subscribe and follow Real Talk With Reginald D on social media:Instagram: realtalkwithreginaldd   TikTok: @realtalkregd  Youtube: @realtalkwithreginald  Website:  https://www.realtalkwithreginaldd.com Real Talk With Reginald D  -  MerchandiseReal Talk With Reginald D is a faith-based globally ranked inspirational and motivational podcast designed to motivate, empower & transform lives through powerful motivational speeches, authentic conversations, and real-life inspirational stories.

What happens when a label meant to describe something about you becomes the way you define yourself?In this episode of Jessica Meils the Podcast, I'm sharing more of my lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia—and how being diagnosed in early childhood shaped the way I saw myself for many years.The labels weren't the belief.It was the meaning I attached to them.Somewhere along the way, recognizing that I learned and processed information differently became:I'm not smart.Eventually, that belief became part of my identity.This conversation continues what we've been exploring throughout Season 3: our individual blueprints, intuition, embodiment, and learning to trust the way we naturally move through the world.In Episode 87, The Art of Awareness, I shared how the way my mind works has supported my intuitive and mediumship development.In Episode 88, we explored the birth chart as a blueprint—not a rulebook—and becoming curious about what makes each of us unique.Today, we're going deeper.Through intuitive healing and limiting-belief work, I began separating my ADHD and dyslexia from the beliefs I had created around them.I became more neutral with the labels.From there, I could appreciate the way my brain actually works.I could recognize where something challenged me without turning that challenge into an identity.And I could appreciate my strengths without dismissing what had genuinely been difficult.Today, I see how the way I process information has supported both me and the people I've guided throughout nearly a decade of professional intuitive work.IN THIS EPISODE:​ADHD and dyslexia in early childhood​How labels can influence identity and limiting beliefs​The belief that I wasn't smart enough​Intuitive healing and limiting-belief work​ADHD, neurodivergence, and intuition​Becoming neutral with the labels we carry​Recognizing challenges without making them our identity​Self-acceptance, embodiment, and self-trustThis isn't about pretending the challenging parts weren't challenging.It's about recognizing the difference between:This is something I experience.And...This is who I am.We can recognize where something challenges us without turning those challenges into an identity.And when we loosen our attachment to the story of what something means about us, we create space to see ourselves differently.ROOTED & RISINGRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.WORK WITH ME + WHAT'S COMING1:1 SESSIONSI have a handful of private 1:1 sessions available for August.

Imagine walking into a state government internship, handing them an evaluation that says you read and write at a first-grade level — and walking out having earned fifteen credits of A-minus. Now imagine a university committee looking at that same work and flunking you to fifteen credits of F. That's the moment Russell Van Brooklyn stopped waiting for permission and decided to solve dyslexia himself.On this episode, Sabine sits down with Russell Van Brooklyn — known worldwide as the Dyslexia Professor — to unpack a truth most classrooms miss: dyslexia is not a reading problem. It's a wiring difference, and once you understand where the genius actually lives, everything changes.Russell walks us through the brain science (the "back" of the brain that struggles with early reading versus the "front" that fires two-and-a-half times over in grad-school-level thinking), and reveals the counterintuitive method that flips the switch: start in the child's area of extreme interest, move from the specific to the general, and use writing as the measurable output that forces the brain to organize itself.You'll hear the stories that make it real — Casey, who leapt eight grade levels in six months; Reed, who climbed from the 11th to the 64th percentile in reading in under nine months and rejoined his friends in mainstream classes; and Grayson, a 99th-percentile STEM kid being coached toward a peer-reviewed publication and a future terraforming Mars. Russell also shares his sharp take on AI in education: why students shouldn't touch it for academics until they know what good actually looks like.This is one of those out-of-the-box conversations that reframes what's possible — for struggling readers, gifted learners, and every parent who's been told their child needs a special school they can't afford.In this episode:Why dyslexia is a wiring difference, not a reading deficitThe front-brain vs. back-brain science behind late-blooming geniusThe "specific to general" method that organizes the dyslexic mindHow to work inside a child's passion to unlock rapid growthReal transformations: Casey, Reed, and GraysonRussell's rule on AI: master the craft before you touch the toolAbout the guest: Russell Van Brooklyn is an educator and dyslexia specialist who turns daily reading frustration into confident academic wins for students facing dyslexia.

How do you build a bridge from feeling left behind to leading a movement of empowerment? In this inspiring episode, we dive into the heart of what it means to be a Bridge Builder by reframing one of the most misunderstood cognitive differences: dyslexia. Joining us is advocate and strategist Willie Blake to share his journey from being a six-year-old kid struggling to keep pace in school to becoming a leader who champions neurodiversity as a profound workplace and life strength.Willie challenges the traditional, limiting perceptions of dyslexia, building a bridge toward a more inclusive reality that celebrates heightened creativity and advanced problem-solving skills. He breaks down his practical "2% Rule" and "GPS Goal Method," showing how small, consistent operational steps can bridge the massive gap between where you are and where you want to be. If you are an executive looking to design a safer, more supportive organizational culture, or an individual striving to advocate for your unique journey, this conversation serves as your definitive framework for turning challenges into stepping stones.Key TakeawaysBridging Vulnerability and Value: A core definition of the Bridge Builder persona is the ability to transform perceived limitations into distinct leadership assets. Embracing unique cognitive frameworks like dyslexia allows leaders to unlock hidden superpowers in creativity and problem-solving.The Discipline of Strategic Focus: True leadership requires filtering out the noise. Willie's foundational lesson—"if it's important to you, you'll remember it"—serves as a vital anchor for keeping organizational goals and core values front and center.Constructing Inclusive Environments: Effective Bridge Builders do not expect everyone to fit a one-size-fits-all mold. They intentionally architect cultures where individuals feel entirely safe to voice their unique struggles and perspectives, fostering deep mutual trust.The 2% Rule of Sustainable Progress: Large-scale organizational change or personal transformation is built incrementally. A Bridge Builder utilizes small, consistent, daily actions to steady the bridge and ensure long-term, sustainable breakthrough.Dismantling Barriers to Forge Community: True connection happens when we stop hiding our differences and start sharing them. By advocating fiercely for authentic self-expression, leaders construct a vibrant community platform that honors diverse human experiences.Links referenced in this episode:coach.willieblake.com

The Art of Awareness | ADHD, Intuitive Development & Self-Trust | Season 3: Rooted & RisingWhat if strengthening your intuition isn't about receiving more information—but becoming more aware of what you're already receiving?In this episode of Jessica Meils the Podcast, I'm sharing a simple practice I used alongside my own psychic and mediumship development: The Art of Awareness.Years ago, I began intentionally working with my senses—learning to notice sounds, direction, movement, sensation, and the subtle information already present around me.It sounds incredibly simple, but this practice helped me strengthen something that became essential in my work as a spiritual medium and intuitive healer:Awareness.As someone diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia in early childhood, I spent years believing the way my mind worked was something I needed to overcome.Today, I see it very differently.The same mind that notices everything, moves quickly between information, and processes the world differently has also supported the intuitive work I've spent nearly a decade developing.And you don't need to be a professional psychic, medium, healer, or intuitive to practice this.Intuitive development can begin by becoming more present with your senses, your body, your environment, and the subtle information you're already receiving.Most importantly, it's about learning to recognize what that information feels like inside of YOU.IN THIS EPISODE:​ The Art of Awareness practice I used during psychic and mediumship development​ How sensory awareness can support intuitive development​ ADHD, neurodivergence, and learning to appreciate how your mind naturally works​ The relationship between awareness, discernment, and self-trust​ Why intuition doesn't have to look the same for everyone​ Becoming curious about your own intuitive language instead of copying someone else'sMy intention isn't for you to experience intuition the way I do.It's for you to become curious about the way YOU experience it.Your mind.Your senses.Your body.Your awareness.Your unique blueprint.Because the goal isn't to become more like someone you follow, learn from, or admire.It's to become more familiar with yourself.ROOTED & RISINGRoot deeply.Rise authentically.Trust yourself along the way.WORK WITH ME + WHAT'S COMING1:1 SESSIONSA limited number of private sessions are available:https://www.jessicameils.comROOTED & RISING: LIVING INTUITIVELYMy new $44 audio experience is coming soon.

Ten women who are not just using AI but building with it: intellectual property strategists, AI educators, investors, community builders, and operators who have built and exited companies.   No keynote. No panel. Just founders comparing notes from the front line.   IP lawyer Andrea Bolden takes on the part most founders get wrong: whether your prompts, workflows and custom GPTs count as intellectual property, why switching off the training toggle is not the protection you think it is, why people trademark a name while giving away the entire body of work underneath it, and which AI tools will actually indemnify you if you get sued.   The room also gets into what happens to knowledge businesses when knowledge stops being scarce, why AI-native builds beat AI retrofits, the environmental cost nobody wants to raise, the risk of putting your child's face into these systems, and the six companies capturing most of the value from all of it.   It ends with a lightning round on the one tool each founder actually uses.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Context: what this room was 01:35 Not a keynote, not a panel 02:16 The question: would you still have an advantage? 03:09 Forty-five products that all do the same thing 05:46 Being the tastemaker 07:54 AI as a democratizing force 10:03 AI-native builds vs. AI retrofits 11:00 The contractor line item that changed everything 14:24 From "done for you" to "done for you-ish" 16:01 Building instead of talking about building 18:35 The real unlock is the speed of learning 23:00 If you sell knowledge, what are you selling now? 24:42 Dyslexia, ADHD and AI as a translation layer 28:22 Are your prompts and GPTs your IP? 29:28 The training toggle myth 30:30 Trademarking the name, losing the body of work 32:15 Tim Ferriss and what is already public 34:08 Can AI legally be an author? 35:32 Which AI tools will indemnify you 37:03 Writing a book with AI 39:27 Just because AI can, should it? 43:14 Share the why, not the whole how 44:00 The one thing to do next week 45:22 Canada's AI strategy and where the money is going 47:32 Environmental impact and who absorbs it 49:55 Your child's face inside an LLM 50:52 Sycophancy and outsourced thinking 51:58 What work do we reserve for humans? 54:16 Six companies and who holds the stake 56:14 Lightning round: the one tool 1:01:27 The advantage was never the tool   TOOLS MENTIONED Claude / Claude Code / Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Lovable, Gamma, Codex, DeepSeek, Kling, Go High Level   LINKS Next Founder AI Studio Live   IN THE ROOM Host: Monique Bryan, Brand Authority Strategist Featuring: Andrea Bolden, IP and business lawyer   PARTNERS Captured by Perspective Studio Productions Presented in partnership with BDC Capital, Inclusive Entrepreneurship   Founder AI Studio Live is an invite-only working session for established women founders already building with AI.

"Mom never allowed me to shy away from the challenges," says Chantal who refers to herself as a neurodiversity advocate. At a young age, Chantal's mom picked up that that her daughter's learning abilities seemed  off.  It was clear that Chantal's behavior at home didn't reflect correctly with her report cards.  Chantal struggled in school, in part due to her learning difficulties plus the social pressures from her piers and bullying. But again, it was Yvonne who continually encouraged her daughter to "not worry about it. You'll always run your own business." Chantal wishes she had seen her mom's sensibility earlier on instead of putting more pressure on herself to tackle fields of study that were  too rigorous,  ie, sciences and graphic design. According to my guest,  "my mother taught  me how to manage and look out for my burnout." One of the most important messages that Chantal wants to get across is " no one should ever be ashamed of the tools  or the accommodations  they need because of neurodiversity disabilities." Now, starting her own business has lessened the pressure on Chantal. SOCOLO came about because of the difficulties she had when reading and focusing on words specifically on white paper or causing 'visual stress.' "50% of the people with Autism and 50% of the people with Dyslexia also have visual stress or Irlin Syndrome. So white paper doesn't quite work with our group. The whole idea  behind SOCOLO was to deal with the emotional side of Dyslexia."  Chantal has a wonderful story to tell of the strength of her mother and how important it was that her mother never faulted her daughter for her challenges, yet lifter her up and encouraged her every step of the way.   Website: socolo.co.uk Instagram: @so.co.lo https://www.instagram.com/so.co.lo/   TikTok: @so.co.lo https://www.tiktok.com/@so.co.lo?lang=en   YouTube: @socolo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jAWqq-_G7x4zrA-KGuKxA https://www.irlensyndrome.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq9ai1Y_u_AIVDbrICh0qYwJpEAAYASAAEgITgfD_BwE     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

The Dyslexia Advantage: Turning Your Greatest Challenge Into Your Greatest Strength with Russell Van BrocklenWhat if the very challenge you've spent your life trying to overcome is actually your greatest advantage?In this thought-provoking episode of The MISOGI Method, Jody B. Miller sits down with dyslexia researcher, educator, and advocate Russell Van Brocklen to challenge everything we think we know about dyslexia, intelligence, and learning.Diagnosed with significant dyslexia as a child, Russell was told—both directly and indirectly—that his future would be limited.Instead of accepting those labels, he dedicated his life to understanding the neuroscience behind dyslexia and developing practical, research-backed methods that help students unlock their potential.Today, Russell has helped hundreds of students improve their reading and writing skills, served as a reviewer for the International Dyslexia Association, and created teaching methods grounded in neuroscience rather than outdated assumptions.But this conversation is about much more than dyslexia.It's about identity.It's about resilience.It's about refusing to let someone else define your potential.Whether you're a parent, educator, entrepreneur, leader, or someone who's ever felt misunderstood, this episode will challenge how you think about learning, success, and what it truly means to overcome adversity.In This Episode You'll Discover:• Why dyslexia is not a measure of intelligence• The biggest misconception schools still make about dyslexia• Why early identification can completely change a child's future• How parents can recognize warning signs before it's too late• Why motivation and passion dramatically impact learning success• Russell's research-backed approach to helping dyslexic students thrive• The surprising strengths many dyslexic thinkers possess• Why some of today's most successful entrepreneurs credit dyslexia for their success• How changing the way we teach can unlock extraordinary potential• Why your greatest challenge may become your greatest gift.Every MISOGI asks us to step beyond what we believe is possible.Russell's story is proof that labels don't define us—our response to them does.About Russell Van BrocklenRussell Van Brocklen is a dyslexia researcher, educator, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com.Drawing from decades of research and personal experience, he has developed innovative teaching methods designed to help students with dyslexia dramatically improve their reading and writing abilities.His work combines neuroscience, practical education strategies, and a passion for helping students discover that learning differently can become a tremendous advantage.Learn more at:https://dyslexiaclasses.comAbout The MISOGI MethodHosted by bestselling author and TEDx speaker Jody B.

Send us Fan MailIn the world of reading instruction, phonics has long been hailed as a cornerstone for teaching children to read, particularly for those with dyslexia. However, a recent article raises an important question: is there a limit to how much phonics can help as students progress into middle school?

Dyslexia therapist Elise Orazem joined us to explore what dyslexia is–and what it is not.

“The intelligent worker is the person who can balance knowledge with the use of AI tools,” says Iain Sinnott of the Cloud Communications Alliance. In this Technology Reseller News podcast for TR Publications and the Cloud Communications Alliance, Doug Green speaks with Iain Sinnott, European Development Chief of the CCA, about AI, human capability, dyslexia, governance and the changing nature of work. The conversation begins with Sinnott's blue glasses, which he says became a useful icebreaker during COVID-era video meetings. But the discussion quickly turns to something deeper: how AI can help people with dyslexia and other challenges bring more of their talent into the workplace. Sinnott explains that dyslexia has shaped how he works, learns and sells. While reading and writing have often been difficult, his oral memory and problem-solving skills have been strengths. AI tools, he says, are now helping reduce the impact of some of those weaknesses. “I think in 41 years of business, I am now more efficient and less challenged than I've ever been,” says Sinnott. But Sinnott also warns that AI must remain a tool guided by human responsibility. He says users must challenge AI, verify its work and avoid becoming overly dependent on it. “We are responsible for making sure that this remains a positive tool, not a negative tool,” says Sinnott. The podcast also explores AI governance, data sovereignty and security, especially in the European market. Sinnott says organizations need guardrails that protect data and manage risk, while still allowing employees the freedom to experiment, explore and improve workflows. That balance, Sinnott argues, may lead to the rise of the “intelligent worker”: someone who can find information, challenge it, apply it and combine human judgment with AI-enabled tools. The conversation also addresses the risk that companies may use AI only as a cost-cutting tool. Sinnott cautions that replacing junior roles too quickly could damage the long-term development of future senior talent. “The human brain isn't replaceable,” says Sinnott. “But some of the tasks we ask it to do are.” Sinnott also discusses the work of the Cloud Communications Alliance in Europe, where sovereignty, communications policy, national security and critical infrastructure have become increasingly important issues. He says the CCA has a role to play in convening conversations and helping members develop thoughtful strategies that embrace innovation while protecting essential communications systems.

Dr. Adam Rinde sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — aseverely dyslexic researcher whose writing program was funded by the New York State Senate — to unpack why dyslexia is a strength waiting to be activated,not a deficit to be accommodated. Russell explains the brain science behind dyslexia, then demonstrates his method live: find the child's “specialty,” ask specific-to-general questions, and use word analysis followed by articulation to force the brain to organize itself through writing. The results he reports are startling — middle schoolers writing at graduate level, a homeschoolergaining 20 points in under six months, and an 11-year-old jumping eight grade levels.

Are we really “overteaching” phonics, or should there be a hard stopping point where it's not taught past a certain grade?Are current stories trending on popular news outlets aligned with best practices for supporting dyslexic learners?Is the public becoming more educated on how we learn to read, write, and spell?I invited my colleague, Lori Josephson, an author, consultant, and former teacher to discuss these questions. In this episode, we discuss:✅ Common literacy “urban legends”, including “Dyslexia is seeing words backwards” and “look at the picture and guess the word”✅ Why phonics gets a bad wrap and where the Science of Reading is often misunderstood✅ Handwriting, keyboarding, and how they relate to neural connections✅Making instruction more effective by integrating language, print, spelling, and executive functioning instead of siloing.Lori Josephson is an Author, Dyslexia Specialist, and Educational Consultant who is a  Fellow of the Orton-Gillingham Academy, a retired Wilson Language Trainer, and holds a Master's Degree in Special Education-Learning Disabilities. She has had the privilege of teaching hundreds of struggling students how to make sense of print and text, as well as the honor of working with thousands of teachers training them how to teach and reach their students using methods based upon the complex brain processes involved in attaining literacy, the body of knowledge referred to as the Science of Reading. Her recently published book, “Calling All Neurons! How Reading and Spelling Happen”, explains how the human brain attains literacy in a fun, easy to understand manner where specialized neurons take the stage to provide this explanation. Lori serves as a Moderator of the wildly popular Facebook Group, Science of Reading-What I Should Have Learned in College, and is on the Advisory Council of The Northern Ohio Branch of The Dyslexia Association.You can connect with Lori in the following places:o Website: lorijosephson.com o LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-josephson/o X: @lorijosephson2o Facebook: Lori Josephsono Instagram: @calling_all_neuronso Medium: https://lorijosephson.medium.com/o Substack: @lorijosephson686067We mentioned the following resources in this episode:Lori's book, “Calling All Neurons!

Today's guest is one of the most recognizable faces of her generation — an actor whose voice you'd know in a single frame. But her real story isn't the one you've watched. It's the one she kept secret: for 20 years she's been a songwriter, and barely anyone — even people who know her — knew it.This is one of the more honest conversations we've had about being underestimated — as an actor who "couldn't" really be a musician, and as a woman the industry assumed didn't write her own songs — and about what it costs to keep making things purely because you love them.And The Writer Is...

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, I'm joined by Vanessa Simpson, founder of Bay & Beyond Sleepy Time Solutions. Vanessa openly shares what it's been like to build a successful business while navigating both ADHD and dyslexia, and the practical systems and mindset shifts that have helped her turn perceived obstacles into strengths.In this conversation, we talk about the routines, tools, and strategies she relies on to stay organized, why entrepreneurship can actually be a great fit for neurodivergent thinkers, and how she learned to stop focusing on what doesn't work and start building around what does. We also discuss the importance of trial and error, creating a business that fits your life instead of someone else's expectations, and why there is no single "right" way to attract clients or grow a successful sleep consulting practice.If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to build a business, I think you'll really appreciate Vanessa's perspective. This is a conversation about embracing your strengths, finding systems that work for you, and realizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to entrepreneurship.Links:Website: https://bbsleepytimesolutions.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sessa_bbsleepytimesolutions/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbsleepytimesolutionsIf you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

Dyslexia, which affects an estimated 15 to 20% of learners, often leads to the frustrating advice of waiting and seeing from educational professionals. Russell Van Brocklen, a dyslexia researcher and advocate, challenges this complacency by presenting actionable solutions for parents and educators. His innovative approach, grounded in structured literacy methods, aims to transform the educational experience for dyslexic students, evidenced by his program that has successfully elevated students from middle school writing levels to college readiness in a remarkably short time. Multi-sensory routines surpass conventional worksheets, enabling observable progress before the next report card arrives.Takeaways:Dyslexia affects a significant portion of learners, often leading to delayed intervention and support.Russell Van Brocklen utilizes structured literacy methods to effectively assist dyslexic students.His innovative program has demonstrated remarkable improvements in writing skills for dyslexic teens in a short time.Understanding the neurological differences in dyslexia is crucial for effective teaching and learning strategies.A focus on multisensory routines can yield better results than traditional methods like worksheets.Engaging students in topics they are passionate about greatly enhances their learning outcomes.Chapters:00:07 - Introduction to Dyslexia and Its Challenges07:57 - The Journey of Overcoming Dyslexia23:31 - The Case of Casey: A Unique Learning Journey28:01 - Understanding Dyslexia and Effective Learning Strategies45:53 - Navigating the Future: Education and AIhttps://dyslexiaclasses.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-van-brocklen-2007ab87/https://www.instagram.com/dyslexiaclassesus/https://www.facebook.com/dyslexiaclasses/https://twitter.com/dyslexiaclasseshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_cqwfxn9FqFx1Idl0YbeHg

 ”Words Will Come,” a new work by Portland-based playwright Melody Erfani, focuses on a young Iranian-American girl’s experience with learning, language and identity while navigating dyslexia.  The production takes a multi-sensory approach, using movement, projections, stage setting and fractured language to immerse the audience in the mind of someone experiencing dyslexia.  We’ll hear from Erfani about her own experience with dyslexia, and how guiding her young niece through a dyslexia diagnosis helped inspire this theatrical work.  “Words Will Come” is showing at Shaking the Tree Theater in Southeast Portland through June 28th.
