And these are qualities and attributes that are almost impossible to capture in words and texts even if you were a lexic a written thinker so how does someone with dyslexia communicate themselves in what's still a very written process

Jay GiddensGUEST
yeah and that's a really really good point you've made there because my life changed when covid happened as well in in a way that So like if I look at your rooms now, so if I was to come and visit you, which used to be the days of face-to-face sales, okay, when you would go and visit people in schools or in universities or wherever it may be, I would always kind of like – Call it nosy, I guess, but I would make a point of looking at someone's background.

Jay GiddensGUEST
And if I saw, I don't know, a set of golf clubs or an award or a picture of a family on a skiing trip, I would scribble it down either on my hand or on a piece of paper, whatever it may be.
