For most of my life, I was told I was a high-functioning dyslexic. The reality? I was one of the most extreme cases of dyslexia—functionally illiterate in a world that increasingly relied on digital text. When the world went digital, I got left behind. But over the past few years, I've uncovered something revolutionary: Audiobooks aren't just a tool for accessibility—they're a way out, not just for dyslexics, but for everyone. In this episode, I share my personal journey of navigating the world as a severely dyslexic person, from the struggles of everyday tasks like going to the bank to the larger consequences—chronic illness, PTSD, and the educational barriers that set so many of us up for failure. But I also discovered the solution: We are born listeners. Science shows that listening to an audiobook is more efficient, engaging, and cognitively sustainable than reading a physical book—so why don't we embrace it? I argue that our education system is broken not because of technology, but because we refuse to integrate old wisdom with new tools. If 20% of people are diagnosed with dyslexia, at least another 20% are struggling unnoticed. I believe 80% of our population faces some form of learning barrier—and audiobooks, e-books, and a metamodern approach to education could be the key to unlocking human potential. This isn't just about dyslexia. It's about rethinking education, storytelling, and how we learn. Join me for a deep dive into the hypocrisy of modern learning and the path forward—where the old and new merge to create something truly revolutionary.

Can it be true? Dyslexic and ADHDer David Chalk claims it's the real deal and I believe him. He is giving his Beta program away free if you sign up, at ReadingRoad.ai.David was on the documentary "The Truth About Reading" (streaming on TUBI) where he was taught how to read faster and comprehend more. I dare Dyslectics to watch this documentary without crying. He went from reading 1 book a year to reading easily 20 books a month. Listen to David's miraculous story about becoming a commercial airline pilot after being bullied in school and being told he would amount to nothing and wind up in jail or the streets. David credits his mother who taught him to always keep trying and have faith in yourself.Chalk has been involved in the technology industry for over 25 years, from being a commercial pilot to working in technology industries. His background began with video streaming during the early days of the internet. He developed the video engine for Yahoo! 1999, which generated $60m in capital. He created Canada's technology magazine, Computer Buyer Magazine in 1983. In 1996, he established one of the longest-running technology shows in Canada ("Dave Chalk's Computer Show"). Chalk founded many companies including Doppler Computer Superstores, Chalk Media, Trees Matter, New Century Video Streaming, and CalmWear™ Compression Clothing for Autism and most recently he helps create Mentorship programs within organizations.This Podcast is not for profit, there are zero commercials and never will be.

Here's how it works, step by step, and why it's the natural way humans should absorb knowledge.

Ever busted a money laundering ring with a two-minute hunch? I did—at a bank in 2003—because dyslexia forced me to think differently. I couldn't read growing up, but audiobooks, grit, and a forgotten science called dual coding turned me into a pattern-spotting machine. Now, I've logged thousands of hours with audiobooks —2x, 3x speed—plus gigs of audio and shelves of marked-up books, out-talking PhDs with insight, not just facts. This is my protocol: audio first, text after, speed it up, reread, fight for it. It's how I aced tests, caught crooks, and proved the doubters wrong. Maryanne Wolf says we're losing deep reading—I say we can reclaim it. Want to go from illiterate to unstoppable? Listen up—I'm Almighty Ohm, and this is my edge.

At eight years old, Kate Griggs sat in a parent-teacher meeting and heard the words, “She's not very bright.” The school had already written her off. But she wasn't struggling because she lacked intelligence. She was struggling because the system wasn't designed for the way she thinks. Today, she's proving that dyslexia isn't a disadvantage, but a superpower that the world is only beginning to understand.As the founder of Made By Dyslexia, Kate is leading a global movement to challenge outdated perceptions and redefine dyslexia as a valuable way of thinking.

I'm thrilled to finally welcome Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide to the show! They're the authors of the groundbreaking, recently updated book The Dyslexic Advantage: Unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic Brain. As leading experts in dyslexia, Brock and Fernette have reshaped our understanding of dyslexia through a strengths-based lens. They continue this work through their nonprofit, Dyslexic Advantage, and their social purpose company, Neurolearning. Rather than viewing dyslexia as a disorder, they advocate for understanding it as a unique learning and processing style. In today's conversation, you'll hear how their approach brings out the exceptional qualities and talents in dyslexic individuals. In our discussion, we explored their new approach to dyslexia that begins not with definitions but with how the dyslexic mind functions. We covered the various ways dyslexia can manifest beyond reading challenges, why some twice-exceptional dyslexic kids are often overlooked under traditional definitions, and the importance of embracing dyslexia as part of one's identity. We also dove into strategies for advocating with schools to secure accommodations and discussed different ways students can thrive academically. This updated edition of The Dyslexic Advantage also highlights how a strengths-centered framework is gaining traction in schools and workplaces, plus new insights into the neurobiology underlying dyslexia and its associated strengths. As you'll hear from Brock and Fernette, understanding dyslexia more fully allows us to open up conversations with educators about alternative learning strategies that may benefit not just our kids, but all students in the classroom.   About Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide Leading experts on dyslexia and authors of the groundbreaking book The Dyslexic Advantage: Unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic Brain, Brock Eide, MD, MA, and Fernette Eide, MD, have been at the forefront of redefining our understanding of dyslexia. In the updated 2023 edition, they incorporate the latest research and modern techniques to highlight a strength-based approach to dyslexia, moving away from traditional deficit-focused models. This revision features 20 new interviews, insights into how a strengths-centered framework is being implemented in schools and workplaces, and fresh information on the neurobiology that underpins dyslexia and its associated strengths. The Eides advocate for viewing dyslexia as a unique learning and processing style rather than a disorder. Their influential work has played a pivotal role in transforming conventional views on dyslexia and has inspired countless individuals. Together, they are the authors of The Dyslexic Advantage and The Mislabeled Child, and they founded the nonprofit organization Dyslexic Advantage and the social purpose company Neurolearning.com. They reside in Edmonds, Washington, with their son.   Things you'll learn How the traditional focus on weaknesses in dyslexia overlooks the strengths that dyslexic individuals possess Why the definition of dyslexia include diverse cognitive processing styles beyond reading challenges Why it's important to recognize the unique learning profiles of twice exceptional children when addressing dyslexia How stealth dyslexia in gifted individuals can lead to underdiagnosis and missed support opportunities The role that a strengths-based perspective plays in helping dyslexic individuals excel in areas requiring experience-based reasoning   Resources mentioned The Dyslexic Advantage (Brock and Fernette's nonprofit organization) The Dyslexic Advantage (Revised and Updated): Unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic Brain by Drs.
