24. Dreamers & Schemers: Why Neurodiverse Teams Win with Dave Thompson

The best teams don’t think alike. They think differently, on purpose. In this episode of The Dyslexic Maverick, Nancy sits down with Dave Thompson, an ADHD and dyslexic thinker, visiting scholar at Vanderbilt’s Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, and author of Brainstorm: A Guide to Neurodivergent Talent and the Future of Work. They explore why the world needs both dreamers and schemers, how neurodiverse teams outperform homogeneous ones, and what leaders get wrong about inclusion. If you’re building a company, leading a team, or trying to thrive as a neurodivergent professional, this conversation will challenge and expand how you think about talent.
