In this episode of The Dyslexic Maverick, Nancy sits down with Dave Thompson — ADHD and dyslexic thinker, visiting scholar at Vanderbilt's Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, and author of Brainstorm: A Guide to Neurodivergent Talent and the Future of Work.

They unpack:

• What neurodiversity really means (it's not just "them" — it's all of us)

• Why some workplaces feel like "penguins in the desert"

• The difference between dreamers and schemers — and why you need both

• How neurodivergent leaders can thrive without burning out

• What psychological safety actually looks like at work

If you've ever felt out of place in your job — or you're building a team and want to get it right — this conversation will shift how you see talent, leadership, and the future of work.
