44. Redefining Intelligence Featuring Russell Van Brocklen

What if the way you learn isn't your limitation but your greatest strength? In this episode of Derive Insights, I sit down with Russell Van Brocklen, widely known as The Dyslexia Professor. Russell is dedicated to helping families transform daily reading struggles into confidence-building victories by equipping parents with practical, research-informed strategies that empower children with dyslexia to thrive. Together, we explore how limiting beliefs about intelligence can shape a person's life, why learning differently should never be confused with a lack of ability, and how parents, educators, and caregivers can create environments where every child has the opportunity to succeed. Russell also shares practical insights into supporting dyslexic learners, building confidence, and helping children recognize their unique strengths. Whether you're a parent, teacher, student, or someone who has ever questioned your own abilities because you learn differently, this conversation will remind you that intelligence comes in many forms and that your potential is far greater than any label.
