Russell B. Van Brocklen Interview | Dyslexia Solutions, Reading Success & Helping Struggling Learners

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with entrepreneur, educator, and Dyslexia Professor Russell B. Van Brocklen, a passionate advocate helping parents move from confusion and frustration to confidence and results when supporting children with dyslexia. Dyslexia affects an estimated 15–20% of learners, yet many families are still told to "wait and see" when reading challenges emerge. Russell is changing that narrative by empowering parents with practical, research-based strategies that can make an immediate impact. Through his courses, coaching, and educational programs, Russell translates structured literacy methods—recognized as some of the most effective approaches for struggling readers—into simple, actionable steps parents can use right away. His mission is to help students build reading confidence, improve academic performance, and unlock their full potential. In this insightful conversation, we discuss dyslexia, literacy education, reading intervention, learning differences, structured literacy, parent advocacy, educational success, and the tools families can use to help children thrive. It's a stellar story about education, empowerment, and transforming lives through learning. Enjoy this interview. Learn more about Russell B.

Rebecca West Interview | Buffalo Nation Exhibit & Buffalo Bill Center of the West | Cody, Wyoming

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Rebecca West, Executive Director and CEO of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming. Rebecca first arrived at the Center more than 30 years ago as an intern on a six-month assignment. Today, she leads one of America's premier cultural institutions, guiding a team of 67 full-time and more than 120 seasonal staff while overseeing an organization with a remarkable 107-year history rooted in the American West. Our conversation centers on the Center's groundbreaking new two-year exhibition, "Buffalo Nation," an immersive experience celebrating the American buffalo—one of the few surviving mammals from the Ice Age. The exhibition explores the buffalo's powerful history, its near extinction, its inspiring recovery, and its enduring cultural, spiritual, and historical significance to Indigenous peoples and communities across North America. Equal parts history, biology, conservation, and art, Buffalo Nation offers visitors an unforgettable look at one of America's most iconic animals. We also discuss the Buffalo Bill Center of the West's role as a Smithsonian Affiliate, its five world-class museums under one roof, and why it's considered one of the premier destinations in the American West, located just 50 miles from Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance. In this interview, we discuss: * Rebecca West's remarkable 30-year journey from intern to CEO * The creation and vision behind the Buffalo Nation exhibition * The cultural and historical importance of the American buffalo * Indigenous perspectives and buffalo conservation * The Buffalo Bill Center of the West's five museums * The future of museums, education, and preserving Western history Whether you're interested in American history, wildlife conservation, museums, Indigenous cultures, Yellowstone National Park, or the legacy of the American West, this conversation offers fascinating insights.
