The Grit and Grind of Autism- Finding Light Along the Journey

Innovation - From Social Skills to Tesla to an Employment Company Tailored Towards Non-Speaking Individuals w/ Conner Reinhardt

Diana W-G Season 1 Episode 9

Meet Conner the COO and Co-Founder of Mentra.  He is an engineer, athlete and musician.  Conner's story is so interesting and inspiring.  Every parent and young adult with an autism diagnosis should have a listen. 

As a recently-diagnosed neurodivergent, I've witnessed the extraordinary talents of the neurodiverse community firsthand. Behind the layers of inefficiency in today's hiring process, there is immense potential to innovate a new system that's able to value and recognize these key players in the workforce of tomorrow.

At Mentra, we're placing neurodiversity at the core of recruiting in a way that scales, treating every individual's brain as unique and more than just a resume.  We're accomplishing this at scale using an AI-powered job-matching platform and a human-centered design approach that builds a holistic profile of a job seeker's mind and matches them with the environments in which they will thrive.
