What if dyslexia was not the end of confidence, but the beginning of a completely different kind of learning power?In this episode of Unfiltered Conversations, Michael Yearby sits down with Russell Van Brocklen, known as The Dyslexia Professor, for a raw, eye-opening conversation about reading struggles, writing breakdowns, parent-led learning, and why traditional systems often miss what dyslexic students actually need.Russell shares how his own academic battles pushed him from frustration into research, law school-level pressure, and eventually a teaching method designed to help students move from scattered thoughts to structured writing. This conversation goes deep into brain-based learning, word analysis, articulation, writing as a measurable output, and why a child’s area of extreme interest may be the key to unlocking their confidence.This is not just a conversation about dyslexia. It is a conversation about shame, pressure, intelligence, parenting, education, and what happens when someone refuses to accept that struggling students are broken.If you are a parent, educator, coach, leader, entrepreneur, or someone who has ever felt like your brain worked differently from the room you were placed in, this episode is going to hit you.Watch the full conversation, drop your thoughts in the comments, like the episode, subscribe to the channel, and share this with someone who needs to hear that frustration does not have to be the final chapter.#UnfilteredConversations #MichaelYearby #RussellVanBrocklen #DyslexiaProfessor #DyslexiaAwareness #DyslexiaHelp #LearningDisabilities #ParentingSupport #ReadingStruggles #WritingSkills #SpecialEducation #Neurodiversity #EducationReform #StudentConfidence #PersonalDevelopment
