WANG DANG DOODLE

You ever heard of a "Wang Dang Doodle"? 

Nope, it’s totally PG!

Before it becomes your new favorite strategy for finding your Zone of Power, it was the title of a classic blues song written by the legendary Willie Dixon in the early 1960s.

In blues culture, a "Wang Dang Doodle" wasn't just any gathering—it was a celebration of joy and authenticity. 

As Dixon himself explained, it meant "having a ball and a lot of dancing," a place where people could express themselves freely and find their rhythm.

Good Time Get Down

Similar to these good time get downs where people found their authentic voice, PXD’s three-step Wang-Dang-Doodle helps dyslexic minds over 30 break from conventional expectations and find their unique Zone of Power - where your passion and energy meet your skills and capabilities.

3 Steps to You

This simple three-step approach can help you transform how you view and use your dyslexic advantages:

  1. WANG: Awaken to your unique dyslexic strengths

  2. DANG: Appreciate the power in what makes you different

  3. DOODLE: Act on small shifts that amplify your natural talents

WANG: AWAKEN

Fashion designer Vera Wang didn't create her first wedding dress until age 40. After spending years as a figure skater and magazine editor, she suddenly awakened to her true calling.

That's what the "Wang" step is all about. Just like Vera found her design path decades into her journey, dyslexic minds often discover their strengths later in life. It's never too late to recognize your valuable perspective.

The awakening doesn't have to be dramatic. Sometimes it's just that moment when you realize your "different" thinking style is actually an asset worth developing.

DANG: APPRECIATE 

"Dang nabbit!" - that old-fashioned expression of surprise - perfectly captures the second step of our process. It's that moment when frustration suddenly transforms into revelation.

Harland Sanders (the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken) was 65 years old and collecting his first Social Security check when he started driving around the country, cooking chicken for restaurant owners. 

He faced over 1,000 rejections before someone finally said yes to his recipe. His "dang nabbit" moment came when he stopped seeing rejection as failure and started appreciating his persistence as a strength.

For you, appreciation could be that "Daaaang” when you realize you've been swimming upstream instead of riding your natural current. Life in the LEX Lane means appreciating yourself rather than fighting yourself.

DOODLE: ACT

Southwest Airlines began as a simple triangle drawn on a cocktail napkin in a San Antonio restaurant. 

The founders sketched three points—Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio—connected by lines. 

That rough doodle visualized what would become a revolutionary business model: a low-cost airline serving short routes between Texas cities. 

What made this doodle powerful wasn't its artistry—it was that it translated a complex idea into something everyone could understand. 

They didn't start with a 100-page business plan or complex spreadsheets.

They started with a triangle on a napkin.

Don't Confuse the Wang Dang Doodle with Yankee Doodle Dandy!

For dyslexic minds, the "Doodle" phase means getting out of your head and putting ideas into the world where they can breathe.

It's about translating your vision into small, concrete actions that can build momentum. 

The napkin sketch didn't become an airline overnight—it evolved through countless small steps, each building on the last.

While one Doodle represented conformity, the Wang Dang Doodle celebrated authentic self-expression and finding your own rhythm—exactly what your dyslexic mind needs to thrive.

VISION 

Awaken-Appreciate-Act is about finding your way forward.

What's been gnawing at you lately?

That project you can't quite get started?

The job or career that never quite fits?

Or the nagging feeling that you're working twice as hard as everyone else just to keep up?

LEX, you’ve:

  • spent years, decades even, trying to fix what's "wrong" with your brain

  • created workarounds, compensations, and masking techniques that leave you exhausted

  • followed advice that works great for other people but somehow falls flat for you

What if the problem isn't your dyslexic brain, but the mismatch between how you naturally think and how you've been told you should think?
