Newsletter 188: A Reflection on AI, Coffee, and Dyslexic Journeys
š§ The Role of Storied in My Daily Creation
Matt "Coach" Ivey
February 01, 2024
An Early Morning Welcome
Good morning, Early Risers and Innovators,
It's 5 AM, and as per my routine, I'm here with my first cup of coffee, ready to pour my thoughts onto the page. This is Matt Ivey, the voice behind Dyslexic.AI, sharing with you not just as the founder but as a fellow traveler on this unique journey of dyslexia and ADHD.
The Role of Storied in My Daily Creation
Today's reflection is special, and I thank Storied for their recognition of our work. For someone who is both dyslexic and ADHD, creating content can be a dance of chaos and creativity. While my ideas are abundant at this early hour, translating them into coherent posts for later publication is where the real challenge lies. Storied has been instrumental in this process, giving my thoughts structure and clarity.
Embracing Dyslexia and ADHD in Content Creation
While I may be known for creating content in these wee hours, the reality is that my posts donāt always go out at 5 AM. They are born in these quiet moments but are often refined and published later in the day. Although a little inconsistent, my ideas find their wings in this routine.
Storied: My Tool for Clarity and Coherence
Storied has been a revelation, particularly on days filled with complex, outside-the-box ideas. Itās challenging to get these thoughts into words that resonate with both neurodivergent and neurotypical thinkers. Storied allows me to explore my ideas in multiple ways, distilling my spoken words into focused and meaningful content.
Extending the Impact of Storied into Personal Life
Navigating Life's Challenges with Storied
In the tapestry of life, each thread ā be it work, personal passions, or complex life events like a divorce ā contributes to the whole picture. In my personal journey, especially during the trying times of navigating a divorce, Storied has been more than just a tool for professional content creation; it has been a companion in expressing my deepest thoughts and emotions.
Transforming Emotion into Articulation
Dealing with divorce can often lead to a whirlwind of emotions, making it challenging to communicate thoughts effectively. Storied has provided a unique space to pour out these emotions without reservation. I find clarity in this unfiltered expression ā Storied helps me reshape these raw emotions into coherent, articulate messages, stripping away the excess while retaining the core sentiments.
Channeling Passion into Clarity
Beyond the sphere of work, I have many hobbies and passions that I'm eager to share with others. However, my excitement often leads to lengthy explanations that can lose the listener. Here, Storied plays a crucial role. It allows me the freedom to express all my ideas in their original, unbridled form. Then, like an adept editor, it distills these thoughts into a succinct yet vibrant version ā a clear, concise narrative that captures the essence of my excitement.
Crafting the 'Elevator Pitch' of My Ideas
One of the most significant advantages of using Storied has been its ability to help me formulate the 'elevator pitch' for my ideas. In both my personal and professional life, conveying a concept quickly and effectively is essential. Storied helps me refine my thoughts into a potent, impactful pitch, ensuring that the listener grasps the crux of my ideas without getting lost in the details.
A Tool for All Facets of Life
In conclusion, Storied has been instrumental in my role as the founder of Dyslexic.AI and in various aspects of my personal life. Whether itās navigating through the emotional labyrinth of a divorce or sharing the joy of my hobbies with friends, Storied has been an invaluable asset in translating my thoughts into meaningful, understandable, and relatable communication.
In every chapter of life, having a tool that understands and adapts to your communication style can be transformative. Storied has been that tool for me, helping to bridge the gap between thought and expression.
Closing Thoughts: A Journey of Discovery and Sharing
Reflecting on the Journey Ahead
I am grateful for having Storied as part of my toolkit as I navigate the multifaceted journey of life. It serves as a reminder that even the most complex emotions and ideas can find clarity and resonance with the right support.
As I finish my coffee and prepare for the day ahead, I reflect on how tools like Storied have transformed my content creation process. They are not just tools, but companions on this journey of expression and discovery.
To each of you who joins me in embracing these early hours for creativity or finds your flow at a different time, know that our paths are unique but equally enriching. Letās continue to explore and share, making our mark in the world with every word and idea we craft.
With gratitude and a dash of early-morning creativity,
Founder, Dyslexic.AI
Spotlight Feature: Storied's Shoutout to Dyslexic.AI In a recent humbling and inspiring communication, Storied showcased our journey at Dyslexic.AI. Their email highlights our collaborative efforts and beautifully encapsulates the essence of our mission. Below is the content of their message, a testament to the impact of AI in reshaping the narrative of dyslexia: Early on, when we had hundreds of creators, a few of them stood out. The power law. Matt Ivey was number one. In the first thousand one pagers that were created, he wrote 6% of the words. Mattās the founder of Dyslexic.ai. Heās on a mission to help dyslexics improve their lives with modern AI tools; chatGPT, Storied, Otter.ai, Grammarly, Midjourney, and so on. He writes a weekly newsletter that serves over 1,000 people per day. Matt has never called himself a writer. But heās doing what all visionary leaders do before they become visionary leaders; building his support system. Steve Jobs had Wozniak. Richard Branson had Nik Powell, when they started Virgin Records. Paul Orfalea and his Kinkoās team. Unlike Jobs, Branson, or Paul who all discovered human partners, Matt has created a cyborg support system that makes him productive in ways he never dreamed. I met Matt online. He shared his heroic story. Working remotely and being a stay-at-home dad, Matt's primary interaction with his team was through written mediums, which weren't his strength. This led him to fade into the background in team interactions. He needed a new kind of support system. Initially, Matt resisted AI solutions. After all, the early LLM breakthroughs of 2022 were text (i.e. writing). And not only was writing not Mattās strength, it was actually a bit of a nemesis. But modern AI isnāt just about text. Itās multimodal. Itās also about audio. When Matt encountered our tool, his reaction was nothing short of an epiphany. "Holy shit!" he exclaimed, recognizing the potential of Storied to transcend. Matt has written about his morning āwritingā routine. āI wake up in the morning, pour a big cup of coffee, sit down and start talking.ā He says the Storied approach allows him to move at his own pace: |
āUnlike other apps, Storied allows me to pause my thought process and pick up right where I left off, enhancing flexibility.ā |
If heās creating todayās newsletter issue, he doesnāt hold back. Heās got a mind full of ideas. Heās living in the flow. Straight transcription would be a problem. The newsletter would be too verbose. But Storiedās AI helps Matt boil it down to what matters most. |
āThe app aids in distilling my ideas, making them more concise and impactful.ā |

Matt's evolution from AI skeptic to newsletter ninja showcases his heroic journey, with Storied acting as his trusted guide. It's not just an app; it's a tool that amplifies Matt's innate leadership. Nick and Frank Storied Co-Founders |
