STOP calling Dyslexia a SUPERPOWER! Referring to dyslexia as a 'Superpower' or a 'Gift' alienates people with dyslexia and sends out the wrong message about dyslexia. Yes, dyslexia has its strengths, and used in the right way can result in MASSIVE success! However, those who have seen massive success because of their dyslexic strengths still don't go a single day without dyslexia affecting them in some way. In the latest episode of the podcast, we talk with Jamie Waller as he shares that simply changing the message from 'deficit' to 'superpower' does not empower people with dyslexia to find the strengths and lean into them to find success. As a dyslexic entrepreneur, Jamie know what living with dyslexia is like and how it helped to create success for him, and it's through referring to dyslexia as a 'Superpower'! In Jamie's new book, The Dyslexic Edge' he shares stories of other successful dyslexic entrepreneurs which demonstrates that the struggles that everyone with dyslexia deals with everyday are just the same for those with MASSIVE success.

35% of entrepreneurs have dyslexia. Up to 50% of people in prison have dyslexia.  It's clear that, for people with Dyslexia, the path between success and ending up on the wrong side of the law can be narrow. So what's different between these groups of people and what's the thing that sets them head on the right path? For entrepreneur, philanthropist, and author, Jamie Waller, it all comes down to the support from people in your early years of your life. Jamie is a serial entrepreneur and the author of the book ‘The Dyslexic Edge'. Growing up in the west end of London, Jamie’s teachers had written him off from the start and didn't give him the support he needed at school. If it hadn't been as a result of a motorcycle display team and a supportive mother, Jamie believes he could have ended up in the wrong group of dyslexic people, being let down by society and living a life in prison. Having been given the chance to join the Imps Motorcycle Display team with help from a supportive mum, Jamie turned his back on education and followed a life into entrepreneurship. Despite leaving school with no qualifications he started multiple businesses, became a multimillionaire in his twenties and featured in a prime-time TV show that followed him starting his first business. The idea for the book ‘The Dyslexic Edge' came from a conversation with one of the most famous dyslexics on earth, Sir Richard Branson during a cycle ride in early 2022. The Dyslexic Edge challenges the narrative that views dyslexia as a deficit or impediment to success, presenting compelling research and case studies from interviewing some of the worlds most successful dyslexics (Paul Orfelia, Theo Paphitis, Duncan Bannatyne and Kelly Hoppen to name a few), to demonstrate quite the opposite. By delving into the lives and experiences of some of the best-known dyslexic minds worldwide, Jamie and Dr Helen Taylor highlight the distinct advantage that dyslexic thinking brings. Jamie wants to change the perception of dyslexia and help everyone see the great value and strengths dyslexia has.
