Tune in as I sit down with Forbes 30 Under 30 Cliff Weitzman, founder and CEO of Speechify. The #1 text to speech app that uses the lastest Artificial Intelligence to bring your the most natural audio reader on the market. Cliff Weitzman founded Speechify in 2017 so that fellow dyslexics and all those disenfranchised by standard reading practices could "spend less time reading; more time doing." If you're curious as to how this young, dyslexic, genuis listens at 600 words per minute, Mika is here to bring you the knowledge. Take a listen.
In this two-part episode, I talk with Dean Bragonier about being a dyslexic badass and the superpowers it gives us. Dean Bragonier is a serial entrepreneur who launched NoticeAbility, a non-profit to foster strength-based afterschool programs for dyslexic students. Dean's conviction is that the advantages of dyslexia far outweigh its associated challenges. We just need to learn how to foster that growth in dyslexics when they are young. Dean is a Board member of the International Dyslexia Association, a Council Member of SPREAD the WORD and a Power Launch Social Impact Fellow (2016).
