    Great overview. Inspiring examples.

    Thank you so much to everyone involved for putting this together - As a Dyslexic Entrepreneur myself, it has been so helpful to hear the stories and insights from those who have come before me and found a way to make it in the world.

    My biggest takeaway is that failure is a natural part of the journey and your differences can be your biggest assets in so many ways.

    Thank you to the whole Made by Dyslexia and DyslexicU team for all of your work - you continue to encourage and inspire. It's been a tough few years for many and we need to hear all of this - now, more than ever.

    A good overview of Dyslexic thinking. I wish I had learned this many years ago but there is a time and a place for everything.

    I really enjoyed the balance of inspiring videos and important messages of direction and resilience the best. This has been the parts of my own DNA for my own dyslexia.
