In this episode, we explore how mind mapping assists individuals with dyslexia in organizing their ideas. Dyslexic individuals often have brilliant ideas but struggle to structure them coherently. Mind mapping helps visualize these thoughts, making it easier to organize them into text or presentations. Assistive technology has evolved from basic PC tools to advanced AI-driven solutions, offering limitless possibilities for mind mapping.
Host Matthew Head is joined by Chris Collier, Director of Assistive Technology at OpenGenius. Chris’s journey began as an English teacher in South Africa, where he encountered neurodiverse students and learned about Dyslexia. He became an expert in Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and assistive technology, eventually leading him to his current role at OpenGenius. Chris shares insights on how AI-powered mind mapping, through tools like Ayoa, is revolutionizing education and workplace productivity for everyone.
For the final episode of 2024, Matthew Head reflects on a year of juggling work, creativity, and burnout—and the lessons he learned to regain balance. As a lead engineer at Jaguar Land Rover, Matthew’s days were packed with designing concept cars, editing podcasts, rehearsing for amateur dramatics, and playing guitar. But by mid-year, exhaustion hit hard, forcing him to reassess his lifestyle.
In this candid episode, Matthew shares how he overcame burnout by simplifying his life: outsourcing podcast editing, reintroducing exercise, optimizing sleep, and embracing intentional choices. He discovered that true energy comes from passion and balance, not endless productivity.
Join Matthew as he explores how small, sustainable changes transformed his year—and how these insights can help you build a life you love in 2025. Tune in for practical tips and inspiring reflections!
