Neurodiversity, Learning Differences, and Creativity

What do the founder of IKEA, Cher, Richard Branson, Chuck Close, and Justin Timberlake have in common? They all present some form of neurodiversity, from ADHD to Dyslexia to OCD, and they all credit all or part of their success to these learning or processing differences. 35% of entrepreneurs label themselves as dyslexic. Neurodivergence is at the core of creativity. Innovation has always come from the edges. We are not saying that people with learning differences are automatically more creative, even though many famous creatives, artists, and creative entrepreneurs did have learning differences. This episode is more about how to set yourself up for creative success when you have a learning difference or neurological differences. We'll be drinking a muddled cocktail, the mojito, while we get drunk on the creative possibilities.
