  S3.E3 | Born for This: How AI Could Unlock the Dyslexic Superpower with Russell Van Brocklen

  Nov 20, 202524 minS3

  What if everything you thought about dyslexia was wrong? In this eye-opening episode of AI Kid You Not , Mia and Olive sit down with Russell Van Brocklen—a wildly passionate educator, New York State-funded researcher, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com—who didn’t learn to read and write until law school… but now teaches kids to write at a graduate level . Russell shares how AI might be the best thing to ever happen to dyslexic learners —if, and only if, it’s used at the right time. He walks us through a radical writing method that starts with villains and heroes, scales to senior-year analysis, and rewires how students organize thoughts—whether they’re neurodivergent or not. From crafting original arguments to rewriting with AI (yes, the expensive kind), this is a masterclass in how to thrive in an AI-saturated world. Whether you’re a parent, teen, teacher, or just someone who struggles with writing, this episode will change the way you think about learning. Russell’s wild journey: From a 1st-grade reading level in college to teaching grad-level writing The shocking truth: Dyslexia is not a reading problem—it’s a frontal lobe organization problem AI and the neurodiverse brain: Why ChatGPT was basically made for dyslexics (eventually) The method: A writing process that turns kids into original thinkers, not copy-pasters What to do BEFORE using AI—and what happens when you skip those steps Why every student needs “senior-level” writing by the end of high school… or else “AI can write for you—but only if you already know how to think. That’s the trap.” —Russell Van Brocklin “People think dyslexia is a learning deficit. It’s not. It’s a creative processing difference.” —Mia “If you’re 14 and writing like a college senior, then yeah—go get ChatGPT Pro. Until then? Don’t touch it.” —Russell “We’re not scared of AI replacing us. We’re scared of not knowing how to work with it. ” —Olive What the best writing curriculum should include in the age of AI How to spot when your child is ready to use advanced AI tools responsibly How to turn neurodiversity into academic and career advantages Want to crush essays and sound like a genius (without cheating)? Curious how to actually use AI to level up your writing? Tired of boring paragraphs? What if writing felt like solving a mystery? Russell's method makes writing feel more like building a game—and yes, you can win.

  S3.E2 - Artist Michaell Magrutsche on Staying Human in the Age of AI

  Nov 12, 202523 minS3

  Summary: In this episode, Mia and Olive engage with multimedia artist Michaell Magrutsche to explore the intersection of creativity and artificial intelligence. They discuss the unique human capacity for creativity, the role of AI in artistic expression, and the importance of maintaining a human-centric approach in a technology-driven world. Michael emphasizes that creativity is a superpower that allows individuals to express their unique perspectives, and he shares insights on how families can foster creativity in their children amidst the rise of AI. The conversation culminates in advice for the next generation on navigating their identities and careers in an evolving landscape. Takeaways: Creativity is the first superpower of humanity. AI cannot replicate the unique human perspective. Co-creation with AI should enhance human creativity, not replace it. Art is a powerful form of self-expression and healing. Understanding oneself is crucial in the age of AI. Families should build creative habits to stay connected. AI can be a tool for creativity but should not define it. The journey of learning and creating is more valuable than the end product. Every individual has a unique artistic voice that should be celebrated. The future of work is uncertain; focus on what brings joy.
