Adam Brown

I have lived with diabetes for 20 years. Much of my journey is summarized in my first book, Bright Spots & Landmines: The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me. It offers actionable diabetes tips related to food, mindset, exercise, and sleep. Access was always at the center of this project, which is why you can get Bright Spots & Landmines free as a PDF or as a free audiobook. On Amazon, the book is priced at-cost in paperback ($6) and available on Kindle and Audible. To date, over 250,000 copies of Bright Spots & Landmines have been sold/downloaded. Writing and sharing this book has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my life.

From 2010-2019, I worked at two mission-driven diabetes publications: Close Concerns and diaTribe.org

Nancy Friday

Nancy Colbert Friday was an American author who wrote on the topics of female sexuality and liberation. Her writings argue that women have often been reared under an ideal of womanhood, which was outdated and restrictive, and largely unrepresentative of many women's true inner lives, and that openness about women's hidden lives could help free women to truly feel able to enjoy being themselves. She asserts that this is not due to deliberate malice, but due to social expectation, and that for women's and men's benefit alike it is healthier that both be able to be equally open, participatory and free to be accepted for who and what they are.

Jim was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.”

A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning.
Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower.

As the years wore on, fate led Jim to a mentor, a friend’s father, who sent him on a journey to learn about his brain and learn how to use it. Little did Jim know, it would take him down the long path of discovering different learning habits, including accelerated learning systems and tac
