For the dyslexic thinkers who are having a positive impact on the world.

Jeannette talks once more to Jamie Waller, a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, who's here to discuss his new book, "The Dyslexic Edge," which challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research to demonstrate quite the opposite.

The book is inspired by Jamie's conversation with Richard Branson on Necker Island. It explores the experiences of dyslexic individuals in various industries, featuring Cliff Weitzman (Speechify), Sir Charles Dunstone (Carphone Warehouse And Five Guys Europe), Paul Orfalea (Kinko Print), Kelly Hoppen (Kelly Hoppen Design), Wilfred Emmanual-Jones (The Black Farmer), Edward Keelan (Octopus Investments), Matt Kennedy (Fussy), Nigel Cabourn (The Army Gym), Phillipa Armitage-Mattin (Chefphlli), Theo Paphitis (Ryman'S), Richard White (Pickles), Duncan Bannatyne (Bannatyne'S Health Clubs), Kate Griggs (Made By Dyslexia)

In this episode, Jamie shares personal anecdotes and insights from his interviews with inspiring business leaders, including Sir Richard Branson. He also talks about the misconceptions surrounding dyslexia, highlighting the unique strengths and challenges faced by dyslexic individuals

Jamie's book will be released on the 12th of September. You can pre-order now from this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dyslexic-Edge-Unleash-Thinking-Differently/dp/1916797423
