Rethinking brand through neurodiversity and design psychology
Oct 23, 2025 Episode 83
Tara Ladd

In this episode, I'm discussing the challenges and opportunities faced by neurodivergent founders in the business world. I tap into how societal structures often do not accommodate neurodivergent thinking and how this can impact business operations. I also highlight the importance of using AI to systemise processes, the significance of brand strategy and visual identity, and the necessity of building relationships and community for success. She shares her personal experiences and insights on navigating these challenges while advocating for systemic change in the business landscape.
