  • Enlightening… To Say The Least!

    I had the privilege of not just listening to this show, but being a guest on the show. Host Reid Miles is a terrific host with a wealth of information regarding ASD and ADHD. As I told Reid, I learned more about autism in 30 minutes on his show then I did in a lifetime before it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Curious StoryTeller: How a Brain Injury Changed One Man’s Life and Led Him Back to Purpose
Q: How did the brain injury change your approach to entrepreneurship?
It forced a shift from chasing quick wins to sustainable growth, prioritizing partner support, and reorienting toward coaching and brain training as core offerings.
The Curious Storyteller: A Diagnosis May Name Something But It Does Not Tell the Whole Story
Q: What does healthy self-understanding look like to you?
Healthy self-understanding involves awareness of triggers and the nervous system, plus the ability to translate language into clear, precise meanings that reduce miscommunication and respect individual differences.
The Curious Storyteller: A Diagnosis May Name Something But It Does Not Tell the Whole Story
Q: Do you think society places too much weight on labels?
Yes, the guest argues that labels can be oversimplifications that fail to capture individual nuance and that people are more complex than their labels, a view shaped by personal experiences across different communities.
The Curious Storyteller: A Diagnosis May Name Something But It Does Not Tell the Whole Story
Q: What is it about the diagnosis that has captured your attention?
The guest emphasizes the human experience behind labels and suggests that while science matters, the personal, lived realities of thinking and feeling shape how diagnoses are understood and applied in daily life.
The Other Side: Dating, Loneliness, Rejection and What I’ve Learned About Myself
Q: What would a healthy first step look like for someone dating a neurodivergent person?
