Episode 15 – From Scientist to Accountant to NHS Strategic Director with Wes Baker

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.
