Jim Hogan takes us on a journey filled with humour, heartache, insights, and revelations about the way his mind works and how it has facilitated his journey from a curious child to becoming an in-demand technology leader, innovator, and neuroinclusion pioneer.
Through over 40 years of experience and through his autistic lens, Jim makes the case that neuroinclusion is imperative to any business serious about innovation.
