Episode 186 Frederick Dudek (Freddy D)

Dyslexia strategies for business and AI mastery collide in this championship-level conversation—revealing how context, confidence, and craft turn underdogs into dominant performers.

Dyslexia strategy takes center stage as Russell Van Brocklen joins Freddy D to break down how elite thinking skills—context, problem, and solution—create dominance in learning, leadership, and business. Russell shares his improbable journey from a first-grade reading level to leading a state-funded dyslexia research project that helped students leap years ahead academically for under $900 per student.

This episode tackles the real problem: schools and businesses train for compliance, not cognition. Russell reveals how teaching the craft of research unlocks AI leverage, original thinking, and confidence—skills that separate top performers from the benchwarmers. The result? Students, employees, and entrepreneurs who don’t just survive disruption—they own the field.

If you want to build self-sufficient teams, loyal superfans, and AI-ready thinkers, this episode is a must-listen.
