The Other Side of Chaos - Talking Dyslɘxiɑ, ADHD, and Neurodiversity for Real

Most dyslexic professionals grow up believing they’re behind. Coach Willie Blake knows that story from the inside. Diagnosed in first grade, he spent years trying to hide, trying to catch up, and trying to be someone he wasn’t. Eventually, he made a different choice — if he was going to live with dyslexia, he was going to lead with it.

Today, Willie is the go‑to high‑performance coach for dyslexic entrepreneurs, creators, and career professionals who are ready to trade self‑doubt for confidence and overthinking for clarity. Through simple, practical frameworks like the 2% Rule and the GPS Goal Method, he helps people take real action even when they’ve felt “behind” their whole life.

In this conversation, Willie brings the same mix of heart, humor, and lived experience that’s made him a dynamic speaker on 500+ stages and the host of Light Beyond Limits. We talk about identity, momentum, and what actually helps dyslexic minds move forward. If you’ve ever felt different, stuck, or underestimated — this one will hit home.

Profile picture for Robert Adleman

Robert Adleman

I am a 64-year-old male with ADHD, OCD, severe depression, severe  anxiety, and dyslexia. I struggled for 40 years working in the high-pressured Information technology field. Even though it was good money, I didn't have much luck in the financial department.
In 1991, at the age of 33, was when the severe anxiety attack occurred, and the support system was not there to handle it. So, I checked myself in to a mental hospital in Piscataway, NJ. That started my long road to recovery. After the attack, I was severely depressed and anxious for 6 months. This experience is detailed in episode four "Beating Severe Anxiety/Depression".
