    May 20 2025

    There are 700 varieties of olives on the planet. And Daniel Singer has tried 230 of them, in his search for the perfect cocktail olive.

He offers naturally cured, lip-smackingly good, olives and cherries along with mixes for cocktails like Martinis, Bloody Marys and Margaritas which are served in the best bars, restaurants and hotels in the world. He tells Kate why empathy and curiosity (both Dyslexic Thinking skills) are a dyslexic’s secret superpower in the world of business and why Dyslexic Thinking gives an entrepreneur a competitive advantage.

    May 13 2025

    Former Premier League player and pundit, Joleon Lescott, has won almost every major honour in English football, including two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and the League Cup with Manchester City. He’s also played for England 26 times and coached the England Under 21s to win the Euros. But it’s his Dyslexic Thinking that has given him the edge on the pitch - and as a pundit. He tells Kate how his visual processing, spatial awareness and intuition - which all stem from the Dyslexic Thinking skill of Visualisation - helped him throughout his career and reveals that, of all the glory photos, trophies and medals, it’s his graduation photo that has pride of place on his mum’s wall.
