Most entrepreneurs fail not because they lack business knowledge, but because they're psychologically unprepared for the journey. Trust me, I learned this the hard way. After building my $100 million coaching company, I'm sharing the 20 books that provided the mental framework for my success. Out of over 1,000 books I consumed during my entrepreneurial journey, these are the only ones that actually moved the needle. In this deep-dive episode, I'm giving you my complete ranking system and explaining why mindset work isn't just "nice to have" – it's the difference between entrepreneurs who scale and those who sabotage themselves.   What Makes This Different: Real rankings based on my 9-figure business results, not theoretical advice Insights from working with 6,000+ coaching clients across all revenue levels My honest assessment of which books are life-changing vs. just "really good" Specific examples of how each book category applies to business challenges I've faced The psychology behind why I think successful entrepreneurs think differently   Key Topics I Cover: The map of consciousness and how I discovered emotional states affect business output Why I learned negative emotions are messengers (not enemies) in entrepreneurship My scientific approach to manifestation and goal achievement Copywriting fundamentals that convert cold traffic (I still use these) Ancient leadership principles I apply to modern business challenges How I create systems that generate profit automatically The difference between attachment and awareness in business building   Want to see the visual breakdown?

In this episode of Get It Seen: The Simplest Way to Accessible Design host Michelle Frechette and typography expert Piccia Neri discuss the vital role of typography in web accessibility. They explore how factors like font choice, size, alignment, kerning, and style impact readability and legibility for all users, including those with visual or neurological differences. The conversation highlights common pitfalls—such as using all caps, centered text, or decorative fonts—and offers practical tips for creating accessible, user-friendly content. Real-world examples underscore how thoughtful typography can improve user experience and even boost website conversions. The episode concludes with a preview of next week's focus on color and contrast.Top Takeaways:Typography Is More Than Just Fonts — It's a Core Element of Accessibility: Typography includes not only font choices but also layout, spacing, alignment, font weight, size, line height, tracking, and visual hierarchy. These elements together shape how readable and legible text is, directly affecting accessibility and user experience.Readability and Legibility Are Different, and Both Matter: Legibility is about how easily individual letters can be distinguished (e.g., clear letterforms, avoiding imposter letters like I/l/1). Readability refers to how easily blocks of text can be read and understood (e.g., proper line length, avoiding full justification, using appropriate spacing). Both need to be considered when designing for diverse users, including those with dyslexia or visual impairments.Alignment Strongly Impacts Usability and Conversion: Left-aligned text is significantly easier to read, especially online. Centered or poorly aligned text disrupts the reader's visual flow and can make content inaccessible.There Are No Universally "Perfect" Accessible Typefaces: Recommendations like "use sans-serif fonts" or “Arial is accessible” are oversimplified. Accessibility depends on how the typeface is used, whether it distinguishes similar characters clearly (e.g., capital I vs. lowercase L), and whether it's appropriate for your audience. Typefaces like Atkinson Hyperlegible are designed with accessibility in mind, but even these aren't universally preferred.Mentioned in the Show:Don't Make Me Think Book By Steve KrugAtkinson HyperlegibleSöhne Klim Type Foundry National Klim Type FoundryJosef AlbersAccessible typeface checklist – free resourceAccessible Typography 101 course – 30% discount code: PODCAST30Better Accessibility Through Typography Masterclass – 30% discount code: PODCAST30

On this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, comedian and author Phil Hanley joins Adam in the studio! They start things off by bonding over their shared struggles with dyslexia and talk about how it was misunderstood in the past versus how it's viewed today. They also run through a list of celebrities who've dealt with the condition and swap stories from their careers—like Adam's struggle with reading cue cards on The Man Show while Jimmy Kimmel breezed through them. Later, Adam sounds off on the tsunami warning that disrupted his evening and uses it to critique the media's tendency to overhype minor threats.In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins Adam and Phil to discuss some of the latest headlines. They break down reports that Donald Trump might consider a pardon for Diddy depending on his bail ruling, and react to a $6 million UCLA settlement over discrimination complaints that included a so-called “Jew Exclusion Zone.” The trio also weigh in on Tom Brady's recent parenting comments, speculating whether his words contained subtle digs at ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.In the final segment, former MMA fighters Keith Jardine and Tait Fletcher stop by the studio to preview their new film, Kill Me Again.

In this engaging podcast, Stephen Martin and Martin Bloomfield explore various aspects of dyslexia and neurodiversity, including the perception of time, cultural perspectives, and the ethical implications of dyslexia definitions. They discuss the importance of understanding individual experiences with dyslexia, the value of play in learning, and the balance between selfishness and altruism in helping others. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-awareness and personal growth among dyslexics, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique strengths and find effective learning techniques.TakeawaysDyslexics often perceive time differently, viewing it as non-linear.Cultural perspectives on dyslexia vary significantly around the world.Ethical implications arise when imposing a single definition of dyslexia globally.Learning is enhanced when multiple parts of the brain are engaged simultaneously.Play is a crucial element in effective learning for dyslexics.Asking questions, even 'stupid' ones, fosters understanding and learning.Self-awareness is key to recognizing one's strengths and weaknesses as a dyslexic.Dyslexia should be viewed as a unique set of strengths, not just deficits.Finding personal meaning in dyslexia can lead to greater self-acceptance.Helping others can be both altruistic and self-serving, and that's okay.Keywordsdyslexia, neurodiversity, time perception, cultural perspectives, learning techniques, ethics, self-awareness, personal growth, ADHD, education, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.If you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the RightSiders Supplement Journey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rightsiders.org/wait-list ⁠

In this episode, Stephen Martin explores the complexities of being diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, particularly focusing on the impact of late versus early diagnosis. He shares personal experiences and insights on how these diagnoses can shift perspectives on self-worth and parental influence.

Stephen also discusses the significance of labels in recognizing neurodiversity and how they can aid in self-acceptance and empowerment.TakeawaysLife is about perspective; how we see things matters.Getting diagnosed can shift your understanding of yourself.Blaming parents for our struggles can hinder personal growth.Forgiveness is essential for emotional freedom.Understanding neurodiversity helps in self-acceptance.Labels can provide clarity, not just stigma.Parents often do their best with limited knowledge.Empathy towards parents can change our narrative.Self-forgiveness is a journey worth taking.Recognizing our differences can empower us.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Professor Francesca Happé - one of the most distinguished and respected voices in autism research. With over 30 years at the forefront of the field, Francesca has reshaped how we understand autism, from exploring social cognition to uncovering the hidden experiences of autistic women, the elderly, and under-researched groups.Together, they get to the heart of why so many women remain unseen, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed. As well as exploring what ageing means when the world was never built for your brain. They unpack diagnostic overshadowing, the crossover between CPTSD and autism, and what happens when a late diagnosis reframes an entire lifetime.This is the first of a two part episode - tune in for some groundbreaking discoveries next week in Part Two!________00:00 Introduction1:30 Autism: The Study That Keep's Francesca Up at Night4:00 Autistic Elderly People VS Our Society 5:45 Late in Life Autism Diagnosis: A Lifetime Reframed10:07 Autistic Women: The Missing Diagnoses 12:50 Eating Disorders VS Autism: What is Diagnostic Overshadowing?17:16 Autism in Women & Girls: Finally Being Diagnosed19:40 What is the Difference between Male and Female Autism?23:20 Can Animals Be Autistic?25:33 Aging VS Autism: Does Autism Lower Life Expectancy?28:10 Living with CPTSD & Autism: Untangling the Symptoms33:45 Are Autistic People More Sensitive?__________On "The Hidden 20%," host Ben Branson chats with neurodivergent [ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's etc.] creatives, entrepreneurs, and experts to see how great minds.. think differently.Host: Ben BransonHead of Production: Bella NealeAssistant Producer: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergBrought to you by charity The Hidden 20% #1203348_____________________________________Follow & subscribe…Website: www.hidden20.orgInstagram / TikTok / Youtube / X: @Hidden20charityBen Branson @seedlip_benFrancesca Happé @happelabIf you'd like to support The Hidden 20%, you can buy a "green dot" badge at https://www.hidden20.org/thegreendot/p/badge.

Dan talks us through his autism identification and how that led him to build one of the first platforms on social media about adult autism.Disclaimer: Today is not a faith-based podcast, but exploring different expressions of Adult Autism/Asperger's from those with lived experiences! You will hear Dan's own worldview in self-expression.About our Guest in his own words:Embracing Neurodiversity: My Journey with Autism and ADHD ✨By Daniel M. Jones - The Aspie WorldHello friends,I want to share something deeply personal—something that completely shifted the trajectory of my life.At 26, I received a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (now Autism Spectrum Disorder), along with ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. That moment wasn't about becoming someone new; it was about finally understanding who I always was.For years, I silently battled confusion, overwhelm, and social exhaustion. Masking my discomfort to "fit in" affected my mental and emotional health deeply.A Diagnosis Isn't a Label—It's a Lens.It provided clarity, showing me that I'm not broken; I'm wired differently. Discovering neurodiversity helped me celebrate my differences and recognize my strengths—creativity, hyperfocus, analytical thinking—as true assets.This revelation inspired me to start The Aspie World, supporting thousands globally in navigating neurodivergent journeys. Our differences drive innovation, empathy, and inclusion, making humanity richer.Remember, your diagnosis is just the beginning of a beautiful, empowered chapter. You are capable, valuable, and not alone.Thank you for joining this journey.With gratitude, Daniel M. Jones Founder of The Aspie WorldDan can be found at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOKKRcJey93Ms-dL630UNIQDan's Book:https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Adults-author/dp/1837822336About when I discovered Dan on YThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDwXqGjohGgDan defends the term Asperger'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB-cH9Os_J8

His practical, step-by-step guidance empowers families to become advocates, not bystanders, in their child's learning journey.

If you have constant battles over handwriting, composition, and/or math lessons, then check out this week's episode.  This week, Carrie explains Dyslexia's cousins:  Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia.  Students with Dysgraphia have extreme difficulties with written expression, fine motor coordination, and language processing.  People with dyscalculia have very poor number sense and may struggle with basic math skills like counting, adding, subtracting, telling time, or understanding number patterns, even with practice.  Carrie also shares teaching strategies and recommends resources and curricula for both.

I do not want to receive anything because I'm entitled or special. I want to receive it because I have worked hard to get where I am and because my skills are better than my peers'. “I laugh when I think of my first day with my first unit. It was a field artillery drill sergeant unit, and when I walked in, they literally looked at me and, although they were polite, they directly said something like, ‘Where's Dustin?' “I am Dustin.' “ ‘No. Where's the male, Dustin?' ‘Oh my gosh. I am the female Dustin. Here are the orders.' They didn't even have female restrooms. “So I went all the way from that to eventually taking a battalion to Iraq, where over one-third of the organization was females. Almost all of my seniors, minus my command Sergeant Major, were females. My XO's name was Hollis. My name was Dustin. So people always deferred to the fact that we were men. And then they would be shocked when we'd show up. We responded that we're fit, we're prepared, we're capable. We're going to do our job and we're going to do it well. And then we'd do just that.”

We're excited to be rereleasing some of our favorite episodes this summer! Before we jump into Season 5, join us to review some of the most popular episodes that you may have missed. We're starting today with 2.12. In this episode, we're diving into handwriting. Even for those who do not have difficulty, handwriting in the early years is essential. When students have not yet reached automaticity or legibility in letter formation, it taxes their working memory and places a higher demand on cognitive resources. We want to look at how we can free up some of those cognitive demands. Effective handwriting practice will lead to stronger spelling, reading, and writing performance. Tune in as we discuss the role handwriting should have in our classrooms as well as the importance and some of the benefits of cursive handwriting! We'll also look at the developmental stages, offer some teaching tips, and share the most beneficial handwriting resources we've used over the years!
