It feels right that my 20th episode is with Amanda. She is an amazing supporter of Neurodiversity in all its forms. She's created tech to support us and she also shares loads of research, help, guides and resources for a wide audience. I've been following her closely as a Dad, because of the wonderful information she's been sharing to help and support parents.

In this episode she gives us her thoughts on the transition back to school and some things we can consider and action we can take to help us all through this process. An invaluable session from an incredible woman.

High Contrast this weeks guest is one of the leading music producers in the world. He's from Wales, our Dads were best mates back in the day and he hears in colour. What!?! Yes you heard it, the way he produces his music is incredible and clearly he has a brilliant mind for music production. A good ear, you might say ;o)

This is such a fascinating look into how one of the foremost electronic music producers creates sounds that are nominated for a Grammy, played across the globe on TV live as part of the Olympics and at some of the best music venues across the world.

Truly amazing!

You can also hear one of his tracks as the intro to my podcasts 'Music is Everything'. This is the sound of Neurodiversity!

Bill tells us about his thoughts on Neurodiversity and more broadly D&I and tech. He is an all-in type of guy and immerses himself in the subject, getting to the heart of what's important.

And speaking of hearts, Bill, in my opinion, is all heart! He genuinely wants to understand people and offer his support, to help and encourage others.

He's also a tech startup guru, helping organisations fly within our industry. I think he's a great guy and it was a real pleasure to have him on.

This episode sponsors the work he's doing to support rough sleepers in his area. Contact me or Bill directly to see how you can help.

In today's episode I interview Lucy Hobbs. Lucy has lead the awareness raising of 'Neurodiversity at Work' across the digital and creative sector. An area that should by all accounts be full of neurodiverse minds. However as Lucy explains that doesn't mean there are not challenges for those in the sector who are neruodiverse.

She gives a personal account of what it means to be neurodiverse and some of the great work she's doing to raise the profile of Neurodiversity.

Yonah Welker today's guest is an explorer and influencer known for his contribution to the tech and creative landscapes. We discuss his journey as somebody who is Neurodiverse, his interest and influence in open ecosystems and platforms which empower individual ability, diversity access, adaptive learning and well-being, circularity and sustainability. His technology focus encompasses AI, robotics, data science, computer science, engineering.

But Yonah is also somebody who has faced significant personal challenges and through those challenges he's emerged as a highly skilled, capable and influential superhero :)
