James Martin is a pioneer for dyslexics in business. He is a self-made millionaire, having forged his way to success despite the odds, and despite being unable to read or write! Like many dyslexics, his school experience was fraught with failure and frustration - but half a century on, he has created a multi-million-pound business empire and he is now dedicating himself to helping other dyslexics. He is passionate about creating awareness of the benefits of dyslexic thinking in business and he actually calls dyslexia an unseen superpower!
