The Dyslexic Entrepreneur
Table of Contents
For the past seven years, I’ve been running a podcast called The Truth About Dyslexia.
What started as a personal exploration turned into something far bigger than I ever expected.
The podcast has now had well over one million downloads, with listeners from all over the world.
I’ve received hundreds, if not thousands, of messages, emails, and conversations from people saying things like:
“I finally understand myself.”
“This explains my partner.”
“This explains my child.”
“This explains why business feels harder than it should.”
That community has meant a lot to me.
It’s been a place to talk openly about dyslexia, ADHD, neurodiversity, health, relationships, and life in a way that felt honest and human.
And, somewhat surprisingly, it’s probably the most consistent thing I’ve ever done.
Which still makes me laugh.
But as we’ve moved into this year, something became very clear to me.
It was time to align everything.
One Voice. One Direction.
At the beginning of this year, I made a conscious decision to bring everything I do under one clear direction.
Not more noise.
Not more projects.
More alignment.
When I stepped back and looked at what really matters to me, two things stood out immediately.
1. Neurodiversity Matters to Me Deeply
I’m dyslexic.
I have ADHD traits.
And I know first-hand that neurodivergent brains are not broken.
They are different.
When supported properly, they are creative, intuitive, big-picture, and incredibly powerful.
But without understanding how your brain works, life and business can feel exhausting.
I care deeply about helping people with dyslexia, ADHD, and other neurodiverse traits:
- Understand how their brain actually works
- Improve relationships and communication
- Reduce stress and burnout
- Build a life that fits them, not one they’re constantly fighting
That work isn’t changing.
If anything, it’s going deeper.
2. I’m an Entrepreneur, and I Love Helping Businesses Grow
The second part of who I am is just as important.
I’m an entrepreneur.
Through Virtual Innovation, I work every day with business owners who want to grow, be seen, and attract the right customers without burning themselves into the ground.
I love helping businesses:
- Clarify their message
- Tell their story properly
- Build websites that actually work
- Create marketing systems that support them instead of draining them
And over the years, a clear pattern has emerged.
A huge number of business owners are dyslexic thinkers.
Some diagnosed.
Many not.
Creative. Fast-thinking. Visionary.
And often completely overwhelmed by marketing, consistency, and pressure.
The Missing Link
For a long time, these two worlds ran alongside each other.
The podcast.
The business.
But they were never fully connected.
The reality is this:
Neurodiverse people make exceptional entrepreneurs.
But they also burn out faster when systems don’t support how they think.
They push harder instead of smarter.
They overwork instead of simplifying.
They repeat the same stress cycles again and again.
That’s the gap I want to focus on.
Introducing The Dyslexic Entrepreneur
So, The Truth About Dyslexia is evolving into:
👉 The Dyslexic Entrepreneur
This isn’t a sudden change.
It’s a natural one.
The podcast will still show up in your feed.
Same voice.
Same honesty.
Same real conversations.
Just with a clearer name and a sharper focus.
Going forward, the podcast will still cover:
- Health
- Relationships
- Understanding your brain
Because without those, business doesn’t work anyway.
But it will also go deeper into:
- Getting customers without burnout
- Building marketing systems that work for dyslexic and ADHD brains
- Reducing stress on the nervous system
- Running a business that feels sustainable, not exhausting
This rebrand brings everything together.
Who I am.
What I believe.
How I help people.
Why This Matters for Virtual Innovation
At Virtual Innovation, we don’t just build websites.
We build systems that support real humans running real businesses.
Understanding how neurodiverse entrepreneurs think allows us to:
- Simplify messaging
- Reduce decision fatigue
- Build consistency through systems, not willpower
- Create websites that do the heavy lifting
The Dyslexic Entrepreneur podcast reflects the same philosophy we bring to our work.
Clarity over complexity.
Systems over stress.
Progress over perfection.
What’s Next
The new name will start appearing across platforms over the coming days.
If you’re an entrepreneur who thinks differently, struggles with burnout, or feels like business takes more energy than it should…
This next chapter is for you.
And I genuinely believe it will be the best version of the podcast yet.
