Neurodivergence… a topic that is often on our lips but rarely spoken about with a ‘real understanding’ is the subject of Episode 2 as is our incredible guest.

In this enlightening episode of The Talking Heads, I sit down with Danny Raede, a trailblazer in the neurodiversity space. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD in his early teens, Danny Raede shares his personal journey from confronting societal assumptions to becoming a founder of several impactful ventures—Asperger’s Experts, Wonder Rock Travel, and most recently, Off Map, a UK-based neurodiversity consultancy.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, employer or simply curious about lived experiences of neurodivergence, this episode is jam packed with actionable insights, empathy, and inspiration!

In this thought-provoking episode of The Talking Heads, acclaimed director Reinaldo Marcus Green opens up about his journey from a working-class upbringing to Hollywood, reflecting on representation, storytelling, and the power of embracing discomfort and self-reflection to spark meaningful change.
