My Minds a Masterpiece (Dyslexia)

Our first guest is Scott L. Holman joins us to discuss his inspiring biography, The Mindset of a Dyslexic Entrepreneur: The Scott L. Holman Story, written by Dr. Don Steele and Lawrence Allen. For most children, school is an exciting journey of discovery. But for Scott, it was the start of a lifelong struggle with undiagnosed dyslexia—an invisible challenge that left lasting scars. His story is one of perseverance, innovation, and success despite the odds.

Dr. Emily Trunnell, Director of Science Advancement and Outreach at PETA, shares groundbreaking work in modernizing research. PETA scientists recently introduced Research Modernization NOW, a strategic plan to end animal testing and transition to cutting-edge scientific methods. From organs-on-chips to AI-driven models, these innovations hold the potential to revolutionize medical research while improving outcomes for human diseases.

Dr. Katy Peters, MD, PhD, FAAN, and Rachel, a patient living with IDH-mutant glioma, shed light on this devastating brain tumor. Gliomas primarily affect individuals in their 30s and 40s—people in the prime of their lives. Despite being malignant and incurable, advances in research and patient advocacy are bringing hope to those affected.

Tune in to these important conversations as we explore resilience, innovation, and the future of science and medicine!

Welcome to Logical Miracle, a project where a lifelong dream meets the cutting edge of technology, brought to life by two passionate creators, one a musician and songwriter, the other an edu tech enthusiast who turns ideas into reality.

Like many, my journey started with big dreams as a child. I imagined myself as a musical genius, learning to play the recorder and later moving on to the violin and guitar. Back then, I had no idea how challenging the music industry could be. As life moved on, new adventures like jobs, holidays, and eventually starting a family took over, and my musical dream slowly faded into the background.

But the story didn’t end there. Over the past 40 years, technology has evolved in incredible ways, creating opportunities that were once unimaginable. Social media has reconnected us with old friends and memories, while AI and music software have revolutionised how we create and share music. The music industry, once an exclusive club, has had to adapt, leaving space for new voices to emerge.

This is where Logical Miracle was born, a collaboration between my love for music and the technical genius of my partner. For years, I wrote poems, not realising they were songs in waiting. Today, with the help of AI, music production software, and my tech-savvy partner, we’ve brought those words to life. The dream of working in a big studio isn’t necessary anymore; with the right tools and expertise, we’re able to create professional-quality music right from home.

Logical Miracle is the result of this collaboration. It’s not just a musical project, it’s a testament to the power of dreams and the possibilities that technology brings. What started as a simple idea has blossomed into something much bigger, a dream shared and fulfilled. Now, it’s time for our music to be heard.

So, whether you’re here to discover something new or to support two dreamers who have turned their passions into reality, we hope you enjoy the music of Logical Miracle. Your feedback means the world to us, if you like what you hear, let us know. And if not, that’s okay too, just be kind in your comments. Either way, we’ll keep creating, inspired by the knowledge that our partnership and technology have made this dream possible.

Thanks for listening, and welcome to the world of Logical Miracle.
