Episode Synopsis

In the penultimate episode of All Brains Welcome we chat with Dr Sam Perkins, an AuADHDer, Buddhist and petrol head who's career has spanned aeronautical engineering to cellular agriculture. I asked him how being neurodivergent impacted his leadership journey through life, and what organisations are missing out on when they ignore the power and productivity of cognitive diversity.

He's passionate about how people and technology can combine to create sustainable, scalable, and impactful solutions to real-world
challenges and opportunities.
