Minds at Work: How Neurodiversity Fuels Business and Belonging

The power of Paris and purpose-driven media (with Rebecca Grone from 11:11 Media)


Listen Later

In this episode of Minds at Work, Nathan talks with Rebecca Grone from 11:11 Media about Paris Hilton’s journey as a neurodiversity advocate and their collaborations with Understood.org, including joint campaigns for ADHD Awareness Month.

Rebecca shares how 11:11 Media weaves impact into every project — including Paris & Pups and Inclusive by Design — and how brands can build mutually beneficial partnerships that drive real change. 

She leaves us with an important reminder that it’s easy to advocate for what you authentically care about.
