Writer, podcast host and mental health advocate Gemma Styles joins Ben for a deeply honest conversation about ADHD, anxiety, depression and the emotional weight of going through life feeling constantly overwhelmed without understanding why.Gemma reflects on being treated for mental health struggles long before anyone recognised ADHD, and how her diagnosis reframed years of self-blame, exhaustion and internal chaos. She speaks openly about the experience of internalised hyperactivity - where the mind never fully slows down, even when everything looks calm externally - and the pressure of trying to hold things together while quietly struggling underneath.Together, they explore rejection sensitivity dysphoria, social anxiety, motherhood, burnout and the emotional toll of living in a world that often rewards productivity while misunderstanding overwhelm. They also unpack the growing public conversation around ADHD in women - including the tension between increased visibility and the backlash that can come with it.This episode is about the reality underneath the headlines, labels and stereotypes - the lived experience of trying to navigate a world that often misunderstands overwhelm, emotional intensity and difference. And why finally understanding your brain can change the way you understand your entire life.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction04:30 Gemma Styles on ADHD, Mental Health & Public Perception05:35 “My ADHD Was Completely Missed”06:40 Depression, Anxiety & Knowing Something Else Was Going On07:17 The Relief of Finally Understanding Your Brain08:32 Why Talking About ADHD Publicly Matters09:12 ADHD, Boundaries & Being Online12:41 Late Diagnosis Grief & “What If I'd Known Earlier?”13:45 Why So Many Women With ADHD Were Missed14:13 ADHD in Adults: The System Wasn't Looking For It19:00 What Inattentive ADHD Feels Like Internally20:00 ADHD Brains in Crisis Mode28:05 Therapy, Overthinking & Anxious Thought Loops29:37 ADHD & Anxiety: “It Never Fully Switches Off”30:18 Social Anxiety, Fame & ADHD31:27 Can You Be Authentic Online Without Oversharing?32:20 Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria & ADHD34:15 Motherhood, ADHD & RSD40:32 “ADHD Doesn't Feel Like a Superpower To Me”42:57 Writing a Book With ADHD52:23 ADHD Community, Visibility & Feeling Seen53:02 ADHD Social Media & The Attention Economy56:41 Motherhood, Work & Stepping Back From Social Media57:43 What Gemma Styles Finds Frustrating About ADHD Discourse1:00:00 Gemma's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Dyslexic entrepreneur and Talamo co-founder Jamie Wace joins Ben for a conversation about why so many children with dyslexia are still being missed - and how technology could radically change access to support.Jamie reflects on his own experience of school, including being told not to pursue subjects he loved because his dyslexia was misunderstood. He shares how years working in tech and entrepreneurship eventually led him to question why dyslexia assessment systems remained so inaccessible, expensive and outdated.Together, they explore the emotional impact of unidentified learning differences, why schools often rely on “wait until they fail” models, and how understanding a child's cognitive profile can shift the conversation from blame to support. Jamie also unpacks the future of assistive technology, overlapping neurodivergent conditions, and why early identification could change life trajectories for millions of children.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:30 Jamie Wace's Dyslexia Story05:07 Being Told Not To Take History GCSE Because of Dyslexia06:00 Has Awareness of Dyslexia Actually Improved?08:31 Why Schools Need To Understand Cognitive Profiles08:48 How Talamo Was Created09:54 The Statistic That Changed Everything: 80% of Dyslexic Children Go Undiagnosed10:21 Why Traditional Dyslexia Assessments Don't Scale19:19 Dyslexia, ADHD & Understanding The Whole Child29:24 The Future of Assistive Technology For Neurodivergent Students31:16 Dyslexia, Schools & Assistive Technology In The Classroom40:32 Early Dyslexia Screening & Why Schools Are Changing44:24 Why Dyslexic People Often Make Great Communicators46:20 Dyslexia, ADHD & Neurodivergent Overlap50:51 Building Talamo For Impact, Not Profit55:46 Jamie's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Spotlighting 21 (or 23)-year-old multimillionaire OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain, who claims to have earned tens of millions (reports range from $40M to over $100M) by selling seductive photos and videos while publicly insisting she's still a virgin and a devout Christian who turned down a $15 million offer from an alleged NBA superstar to take her virginity. Her high-profile Miami Swim Week debut amid the frenzy has thrust her into the spotlight as the face of a new OnlyFans-era archetype: young women leveraging sexuality for massive financial gain without "going all the way."This phenomenon ties directly into broader cultural debates, such as why some feminists celebrate sugar babies and OnlyFans "entrepreneurs" as liberated while scorning traditional housewives, and streamer Asmongold's observation that many female content creators operate like softcore OnlyFans models. Critics argue this culture promotes short-term financial wins at the expense of long-term dignity, pair-bonding, and genuine value for young women—especially as social media normalizes selling one's image from a very early age. Supporters call it empowering choice and financial independence. Sophie Rain's story forces the question: Is this peak female agency, or peak civilizational decline?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

Content creator and author Luke Grosch joins Ben for an honest conversation about late-diagnosed autism, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity and learning to understand yourself in a world that often misunderstands autistic people.Luke reflects on losing his dad at a young age, and how many of his autistic traits - meltdowns, sensitivity and shutdowns - were mistaken for grief rather than signs of neurodivergence. Diagnosed in 2019, he shares what changed once he finally had language for the way his brain works, and why being openly emotional online has become such an important part of his work.Together, they explore masking, burnout, relationships, loneliness, internet culture and the pressure many autistic people feel to appear “fine” while struggling internally. Luke also opens up about writing his first book based on diary entries and emotional reflection, and why vulnerability can be a form of connection rather than weakness.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.Buy Luke's new book 'Diary of a Neurodivergent' at https://dashbook.com/book/diary-of-a-neurodivergent ________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:08 Luke Grosch's Late Autism Diagnosis Story03:42 Losing His Dad Young & Missing The Signs of Autism07:15 When Autism Traits Get Mistaken For Grief10:54 What Finally Led Luke To Seek a Diagnosis14:02 Late Diagnosed Autism: “Everything Started Making Sense”17:40 Masking & Pretending To Be Fine21:18 Emotional Overwhelm, Shutdowns & Internal Struggle25:11 Why Luke Shares Vulnerably Online28:45 Autism, Loneliness & Feeling Misunderstood32:04 Burnout & The Pressure of Social Media35:27 Relationships, Friendship & Communication Differences39:18 Why So Many Autistic Adults Feel Exhausted42:56 Writing a Book Through Diary Entries & Reflection46:21 What Luke Wishes More People Understood About Autism50:12 The Power of Emotional Honesty54:30 Luke's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Chef, content creator and food waste activist Martyn Odell - better known online as Lagom Chef - joins Ben for a chaotic, funny and emotional conversation about ADHD, creativity, food, and finally understanding his brain.Diagnosed with ADHD midway through writing his first cookbook, Martyn reflects on growing up in kitchens where chaos and intensity were normalised, and why that made it difficult to recognise the difference between personality, coping and neurodivergence. They explore ADHD creativity, burnout, internet culture, the pressure of social media, and what happens when your job relies on constantly turning your brain into content.Martyn shares why “eat the food you buy” became his philosophy, how cooking can help people reconnect with themselves, and why perfection is ruining the way we think about food.This is a conversation about ADHD, identity, creativity, and learning to trust your own way of doing things.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.Eat The Food You Buy: 15 Everyday Ingredients, Endless Delicious Meals by Martyn Odell is publishing on 16th July 2026 (Penguin Life, £25)________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:12 Martyn Odell: ADHD, Cooking & Internet Chaos03:44 Why Kitchens Made ADHD Feel “Normal”06:20 The Link Between Creativity, Chaos & Cooking09:18 Growing Up With Undiagnosed ADHD12:42 Social Media Pressure & Going Viral Online16:10 Why Humour Can Become a Mask19:25 Burnout, Content Creation & Internet Pressure22:14 Being Diagnosed With ADHD Midway Through Writing a Book25:39 ADHD, Executive Dysfunction & Writing Struggles26:43 “Eat The Food You Buy”: Martyn's Philosophy on Food Waste28:30 Why Cooking Intuition Matters More Than Recipes31:11 Social Media Pressure, Trolls & Public Perception34:02 Why Perfection Is Ruining Cooking38:16 ADHD Hyperfocus & Creativity in the Kitchen42:05 The Emotional Connection Between Food & Memory46:20 Why Simplicity Matters More Than Perfection50:12 What Cooking Actually Gives Martyn's Brain54:40 Martyn's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Diana Johnson joined Tom Katz on Wake Up Tri-Counties for the "Here's to Your Health" series, discussing services at Hammond-Henry Hospital. Spotlighting local healthcare, Diana Johnson, a respiratory therapist with nearly two decades at Hammond Henry Hospital, discussed her pivotal role in the pulmonary function department. She performs pulmonary function tests, which help diagnose breathing issues like asthma, COPD, and chronic coughs, on patients ranging from age six to 100. Symptoms prompting referral include persistent shortness of breath or unexplained coughing, especially active during allergy season and for student athletes. The testing process is thorough, and results are reviewed promptly by a pulmonologist to guide further care. More about these services can be found at hammondhenry.com.

Sooty from South East Forest Rescue shares a significant legal win in the High Court, which affirmed the right for third parties with a "special interest" to take Forestry Corporation to court in New South Wales. This overturned Forestry's argument that such actions would "open the floodgates” to legal action from environmentalists.Sooty describes  the subsequent ongoing case in the Land Environment Court against Forest Corp, hinging on the precise definition of a "glider den tree."Fifteen year-old Jesinta Newland, describes how her passion for nature, ignited at age eight after witnessing logging. She speaks out against deforestation that destroys habitats for endangered species like koalas and gliders, mostly for woodchips and paper.Jesinta and her mother Jaclyn attended the SCAN South Coast Action Network Forest Festival, a family-friendly, dry, vegan-food event focused on community and environmental education. Jacinta describes forest festival activities: Spotlighting, Eco-dying: and NVDA Training and campaigning for protection for 500-year-old "Mother Tree" Big Spotty in Booman State Forest.Jesinta  notes that there is a  lack of awareness and education as many of her peers are unaware of the logging occurring locally. She wishes for more comprehensive environmental education in schools, as she has learned most of her knowledge through SCAN and older mentors. Guests: Sooty: South East Forest Rescue             Jesinta Newland:  SCAN South Coast Action Network              Jaclyn NewlandLinks:SCAN South Coast Action NetworkSouth East Forest RescueNorth East Forest AllianceNational Parks Association of NSW - Protecting Nature Through Community Action

Clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas returns to The Hidden 20% to challenge one of the most persistent myths in ADHD: that it's just about the brain.In this conversation, Ben and Dr Miguel explore ADHD through a whole-body lens - from nervous system regulation and eating patterns to capacity, sensory sensitivity and the gut–brain axis.They unpack why food isn't just fuel but a regulatory tool, why so many ADHDers struggle with inconsistent eating, and why “just eat better” advice often misses the point entirely. The conversation then goes deeper into why the same food can feel fine one day and intolerable the next, and how what we often label as “food sensitivities” may actually be linked to stress, overload and nervous system state.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction: ADHD Beyond The Brain01:42 Why ADHD Is a Nervous System Condition05:18 Fight, Flight, Freeze: ADHD & Regulation09:12 Why Food Impacts ADHD More Than You Think13:40 ADHD Eating Patterns: Skipping, Binging & Dopamine18:25 Why “Just Eat Better” Doesn't Work for ADHD22:10 Regulation Before Optimisation: Rethinking Food26:30 Simple Food Changes That Support ADHD Brains31:05 Food, Mood & Energy Crashes Explained35:22 Why The Same Food Feels Different Day to Day38:40 Understanding Capacity in ADHD42:15 Sensory Sensitivity, Stress & The Body45:50 The Gut–Brain Axis Explained Simply49:10 “Food Sensitivities” vs Nervous System Overload53:05 Stress, Digestion & ADHD Explained56:10 What Actually Helps: Supporting Regulation First59:30 Dr Miguel's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Executive Director at the RSPB, Emma Marsh, joins Ben for a conversation that connects leadership, late autism diagnosis, and the often-overlooked role of nature in how we regulate and function.Diagnosed autistic in 2023, Emma reflects on what it means to navigate senior leadership as an autistic woman, the decision to disclose at work after years of masking, and how that moment reshaped both her identity and the way she leads.Ben and Emma dive into the power of nature and how fundamental it is for neurodivergent brains. From birdsong and the dawn chorus to simple ways of reconnecting with the natural world, Emma explains why nature can feel like a reset for the nervous system in ways modern environments often can't.They also explore why so many workplaces still unintentionally exclude neurodivergent people - and what it looks like to move beyond awareness into systems that actually support people and their brains.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen FullerThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Pablo Lambrechts, Architect and Director at L+ Architects, joins Ben to explore something most of us feel but rarely question - the impact our environment has on our nervous system.Drawing on his work designing neurodiversity-informed spaces (including Google HQ), Pablo explains how light, sound, layout and materials can either support regulation or quietly work against it. This isn't about aesthetics - it's about how spaces shape behaviour, focus and wellbeing. Together, they unpack biophilic design, and why many schools, workplaces and homes are unintentionally disabling for neurodivergent people. Pablo also shares simple, practical changes that can make an immediate difference, without big budgets.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen FullerThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Dr Ann Ozsivadjian, Clinical Psychologist specialising in autism, joins Ben to unpack the reality of mental health in neurodivergent children and adults - and why so much of it is misunderstood.Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Ann explains how anxiety, depression and low self-esteem often sit on top of something deeper: emotional dysregulation, unmet needs and environments that don't fit. Together, they explore how this shows up in children and the long-term impact of being misunderstood early on.They also break down the difference between meltdowns and shutdowns - what's really happening beneath the surface, and how to respond with understanding, not judgment.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen FullerThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Shashi Tripathi focuses on the tech labor market, arguing the AI revolution will be a net job creator. Data science, prompting, and other AI-centric roles are growing, though he acknowledges that there will likely be more layoff rounds like we've seen lately, with Oracle (ORCL) as the latest. Shashi also looks at how immigration policy is impacting the tech market, particularly when it comes to H1-B visas. He also touches on quantum computing, which he thinks will disrupt the industry even more.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

That signifies beauty at its highest level.” On Entrepreneurship “We realized we were in the business of seeing people—because we were the underdogs.” “Don’t worry about your numbers. Quality will always stand.” “Sometimes your visions are crazy, and they don’t make sense to people—but believe anyway.” On Overcoming Doubt “A low point is being undervalued—but God has a sense of humor.

You need layers of skin to accept when someone thinks you're not good enough.” On Their Oprah Moment “She turned around, walked past everyone, and came straight to us.” “Nobody but God—and a little effort from Tasha!” On Partnership “God made us twins for a reason.

In this episode, Ben is joined by Dr Tony Lloyd, former CEO of the ADHD Foundation, for a conversation that steps back and looks at the bigger picture of neurodiversity at a moment when the landscape is rapidly changing.Now retired, Tony reflects on decades at the forefront of ADHD and neurodiversity advocacy, and why we're still asking the wrong questions.They explore why more people are recognising themselves than ever before, and the tension between medical models and the idea of thinking differently.From SEND systems and long waiting lists to public narratives and stigma, Tony shares what he believes still isn't working and where real progress is happening.This is a conversation about where we are now, what needs to change, and why the future of neurodiversity may look very different to its past.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction1:03 The Current Neurodiversity Landscape: ADHD, Autism & Society3:50 The Global Neurodiversity Identity Crisis Explained5:50 “We Are Everywhere”: The Rise of Neurodivergent Voices9:44 The Future of Neurodiversity: Why People Are No Longer Hiding20:02 Medical Model vs Neurodiversity: Disorder or Difference?27:00 SEND System & ADHD/Autism Reports: What's Broken?32:10 Why Neurodiversity Should Be Seen as Opportunity, Not Deficit42:03 De-stigmatising ADHD & Autism: What Gives Tony Hope48:06 ADHD & Autism Waitlists: Advice for Those Still Waiting50:18 The Role of Neurodivergent Public Figures & Advocacy55:16 Regressive Narratives vs Being Yourself: Courage & Kindness1:02:22 Dr Tony Lloyd's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames launches a brand new series called Chicago Builders, highlighting the entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders shaping Chicago and the South Suburbs. While many conversations about business focus on building large online audiences, Michelle shares why some of the most powerful opportunities come from local ecosystems and meaningful relationships. She breaks down how local visibility can lead to partnerships, speaking opportunities, and business growth, and shares a personal story about her husband being named Citizen of the Year for his impact in their community. If you've ever felt pressure to build a massive following to be successful, this episode will shift how you think about visibility and remind you that the right community can open doors you never expected. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why local ecosystems can create powerful business opportunities• How visibility grows through community and relationships• The difference between global reach and meaningful impact• Why being known in your own community matters• How entrepreneurs can build influence without millions of followers Visibility Breakdown Michelle explains how local ecosystems create opportunities through conversations, partnerships, and shared networks. Instead of relying only on social media growth, many entrepreneurs become known through events, community involvement, and relationships with other local builders. Room Story Michelle shares a personal story about her husband being named Citizen of the Year in their community, highlighting how consistent involvement, leadership, and service can lead to recognition and influence. This example shows how visibility often comes from showing up and contributing to your community over time. Unpopular Visibility Truth You don't need a global audience to build a powerful business. Sometimes the most valuable visibility comes from being known by the right people in the right rooms.

In this episode, Ben is joined by Kelly and Hester Grainger, the married co-founders of Perfectly Autistic.Together they work with major organisations to build workplaces that actually work for neurodivergent people but as Kelly (AuDHD) and Hester (ADHD) explain, inclusion isn't about a single training session or a handful of adjustments.They reflect on careers shaped by masking, burnout and trying to fit systems that weren't designed with neurodivergent people in mind. Together they unpack why so many workplaces unintentionally exclude ND employees, what genuinely neuroinclusive organisations do differently, and why awareness has to go beyond a one-off training session.They also share the more personal side: exploring their own careers, why Hester once had over 30 jobs, and what it's like running a business together as a neurodivergent couple.If you've ever felt exhausted by work environments that don't quite fit your brain, this episode will help you see why - and what could change.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction1:26 Neurodiversity at Work | Hester & Kelly Grainger on ADHD, Autism & Corporate Consulting2:19 The #1 Thing Employers Need to Understand About Neurodiversity in the Workplace3:50 Supporting Neurodivergent Employees at Scale: What Actually Works7:26 Which Companies Are Asking for Neurodiversity Support at Work?8:31 ADHD & Autism at Work: Common Challenges and Simple Workplace Adjustments19:15 Who Is Responsible for Neurodiversity in the Workplace?23:37 Why Neurodiversity Training Can't Be a One-Off Session & The Power Of Listening & Curiosity at Work26:38 Neurodiversity Labels at Work: Why Language Around Autism & ADHD Matters33:16 Undiagnosed ADHD or Autism at Work: Your Rights as an Employee37:40 What Does The Dream Neuroinclusive Employer Look Like?42:30 Neurodiversity & Recruitment49:34 Running a Business Together as a Neurodivergent Couple50:40 Kelly's AuDHD Diagnosis: Telling Employers About ADHD & Autism53:48 Creating Safe Conversations About Neurodivergence & Advocating For Yourself57:43 Neurodivergent Workers Are Everywhere: Why Companies Need to Adapt59:30 What Do “Best in Class” Neuroinclusive Companies Do Differently?1:06:06 What Neurodivergent Candidates Should Look for in an Employer1:08:22 Practical Ways Employers Can Create Neuroinclusive Workplaces1:09:50 If Hester & Kelly Had a Magic Wand: The One Thing They'd Change About Workplaces1:19:26 Kelly & Hester's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Send a textA shy compliment at Art Basel turned into a passport to the world. We sit down with Miami native and freelance writer Amber Love Bond to unpack how she left corporate finance and built a career that spotlights chefs, bartenders and destinations through stories with heart. From the early days covering Miami's cocktail scene to filing features from Hong Kong, New Orleans and the Caribbean, Amber shows how curiosity, consistency and relationships can take you farther than a perfect plan.We dig into the rituals that make bars and restaurants feel alive—glassware choices, ice and the people behind the stick—and why a strong sense of place is the secret ingredient in travel writing. Amber explains how she evaluates hosted trips, the subtle red flags that can surface only after planning starts, and the simple test she uses when her inbox fills with invites. She also shares straight-talk advice for PR pros: personalized pitches win, strong relationships matter and once a freelancer files, publication timing is out of their hands.Trend-watchers will find plenty to savor. We explore why early dinners now top reservation charts, how Gen Z is reshaping drink menus, and the rise of martini flights and “tiny teenies.” Amber makes a case for New Orleans as a must-visit food and cocktail city and relives a Tuscan feast with the world's most famous butcher that still lingers in memory. Along the way, she offers practical guidance for breaking into food, drink and travel writing without a journalism degree—be kind, answer emails and invest in the relationships that become your career's backbone.If you love food journalism, cocktail culture or travel stories that feel lived-in and local, this conversation is for you. Connect with Amber on Instagram. Tap play, then follow and subscribe for more media insider interviews—and leave a quick review.

Guest: Alastair Paterson, CEO and co-founder @ Harmonic Security Topics: Harmonic Security focuses on securing generative AI in use. Can you walk us through a real, anonymized example of a data leak caused by employee AI usage that your platform has identified? AI governance gets thrown around a lot. What does this mean in the context of Shadow AI? How should organizations be thinking about governing AI in light of upcoming AI regulations in the US and in the EU? If we generally agree that employees are using AI tools before they are sanctioned, how can organizations control this? Network, API, endpoint? Many organizations struggle with the "ban vs. embrace" debate for generative AI. Based on your experience, what's a compelling argument for moving from a blanket ban to a managed, secure adoption model? Can you share a success story where this approach demonstrably reduced risk? The term "shadow AI" is often used interchangeably with "shadow IT" (but for AI-powered applications)  but you've highlighted that AI is a different beast. What is the single biggest distinction between managing the risk of unsanctioned AI tools versus unsanctioned IT applications? Looking forward, where do you see the biggest risks in the evolution of shadow AI? For instance, will the next threat be from highly specialized AI agents trained on proprietary data, or from the rapid proliferation of new, unmonitored open-source models? Given the speed of change in this space, what's one piece of advice you'd give to a CISO today who is just beginning to get a handle on their organization's shadow AI problem?

In part two of Ben's conversation with Dr Shyamal Mashru, they unpack what actually makes a good ADHD assessment - and why so many people are still waiting, misdiagnosed, or left without answers.Dr Shyamal, an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Lead for Adult ADHD, explains what happens inside a thorough assessment, who is qualified to diagnose ADHD, and why emotional dysregulation is so often overlooked. Together, they explore NHS vs private pathways, co-occurring conditions like autism and RSD, and why ADHD rarely shows up in neat, textbook ways.We hope this episode brings clarity to a process that can often feel stressful, and inaccessible. If you're questioning ADHD, on a waiting list, or trying to understand what good care really looks like, this conversation is for you.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:12 Who Can Diagnose ADHD in the UK?04:25 ADHD Assessment Options: NHS vs Private Explained11:20 ADHD Assessments Outside the UK: What's Different?13:00 Why ADHD Assessments Are Complex & Often Siloed20:14 ADHD & Reduced Life Expectancy: What the Research Shows24:20 What Makes a Good ADHD Assessment?29:25 ADHD at School vs University: Missed Support32:50 RSD, Relationships & Emotional Regulation Flags34:16 ADHD & Daily Life: Hobbies, Money, Sleep41:02 When ADHD Gets Misdiagnosed - and Why47:15 Autism + ADHD: What If You Suspect Both?55:06 The Missing Piece in ADHD Diagnosis: Emotional Dysregulation59:00 Dr Shyamal's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

This week, host Retired Command Sergeant Major Doug Wortham spotlights the incredible work of the Poly Trauma Center of Excellence at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System. For veterans and service members facing complex, life-changing injuries—often involving traumatic brain injury (TBI) combined with other physical and emotional trauma—this center provides a full continuum of specialized […] The post Spotlighting the Poly Trauma Center of Excellence: Lifeline for Minnesota Veterans appeared first on Minnesota Military Radio.

In this savage FAFO Friday segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards crowns a new "FAFO Grand Champion" in a tale of epic irony and sweet karma. Spotlighting a Jackson Democrat named Jeremy (name withheld on air but shown on livestream), Clay exposes the guy's viral Facebook post accusing all Republicans of being "pedos" for not showing up to Epstein-related depositions—only for Jeremy to get arrested the same day for statutory rape of a minor under 17. Stressing "innocent till proven guilty" while roasting the hypocrisy, Clay dives into Jeremy's anti-Trump, anti-Christian profile, complete with an "F Trump" banner, and quips: "Not every Democrat screaming 'Republicans are pedos' is a pedo, but every pedo screaming that is." Tying it to deflection on Epstein scandals, listener texts and calls pile on the schadenfreude, debating projection and why "every single time" these accusers get busted. Strap in for Clay's unfiltered takedown on virtue-signaling gone wrong, political hypocrisy, and why karma hits hardest on social media—pure reality radio gold.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Dr Shyamal Mashru, Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Lead for Adult ADHD, for a clear and compassionate deep dive into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).Often misunderstood or dismissed as being “too sensitive,” RSD is explored here as a real, neurological experience - one that can hijack rational thought, flood the body with emotional pain, and quietly shape relationships, work, and self-worth. Dr Shyamal explains what RSD is (and isn't), how it shows up differently across people, and why ADHD brains may be especially vulnerable.They unpack the science, the role of trauma and hormones, why RSD isn't currently in the DSM, and what actually helps when rejection hits hard.If rejection feels overwhelming, confusing, or deeply personal - this conversation offers clarity, relief, and language for what you may have been carrying alone.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:00 Dr Shyamal Mashru's ADHD Background & Clinical Work03:15 What Surprises Clinicians About ADHD Assessments04:41 Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Explained: What RSD Is & Why It Hurts09:16 RSD Coping Mechanisms: Shutdown, People-Pleasing & Avoidance11:44 Is It RSD or Something Else?
