The best and most import hack of them all. Surround yourself with great friends that you care about and they care about you. Your friends are great for proofreading that application you are about to make or website you have built (like the number of my friends who proofread this one). Not only a proofreader, you can have some fun times laughing and making humour of your dyslexic works. They’re a good sounding board for understanding the issue non-dyslexics have with things and highlighting your positive traits.

Episode 61 – Entrepreneurship and Dyslexia, and the ability to Absorb Information Quickly with Stephen Martin

In this podcast episode, dyslexic entrepreneur Stephen Martin discusses the often overlooked strength of dyslexia: the ability to quickly absorb information and explain complex topics in an engaging and understandable way. Stephen’s journey began in New Zealand, where dyslexia went unrecognized in the school system. It wasn’t until he moved to Saudi Arabia and attended a British school that his dyslexia was identified.

During his conversation with host Matthew Head, Stephen reveals how he harnessed his skill set to teach complex subjects through compelling narratives, launching his entrepreneurial career. He also acknowledges his mother as a significant supporter who became an expert on dyslexia overnight to ensure he received necessary support.

Stephen not only manages his marketing business but also leads a dyslexia online community and hosts the “Truth About Dyslexia” podcast. He attributes his motivation to his dyslexia and ADHD, thriving in a busy environment. Don’t miss this episode covering absorbing information quickly, narrative reasoning, entrepreneurship, and staying motivated while juggling numerous tasks.
