On this episode of Growing Your Business, Sophea Wideman shares the powerful and personal journey behind NeuroLocker, an all-in-one productivity tool designed by neurodivergent people for neurodivergent students.

Inspired by advocating for her brother through school, Sophea turned a college project into a real company, earning pitch-competition wins, developing a multi-platform app, and building a growing community around neurodiversity support.

Today, NeuroLocker is helping students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and more take control of their learning — and Sophea's long-term vision includes a DFW community center to give these kids a safe place to connect and thrive.

If you're inspired by mission-driven founders who turn lived experience into solutions that change lives, this is one you don't want to miss.

• NeuroLocker was built by neurodivergent individuals for neurodivergent individuals — an all-in-one productivity tool that simplifies life for students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, OCD, and more.

• The mission is deeply personal: Sophea grew up advocating for her younger brother, watching him be misunderstood by teachers who treated him differently simply because "his brain worked differently."

• From college project to real company: A UTA entrepreneurship class led Sophea to pitch NeuroLocker in a Shark-Tank-style competition — out of 79 submissions, they were one of 10 finalists and won funding that launched the company.

• Focused on helping middle-school and high-school students succeed: The app is becoming available on iOS, Android, and web (critical for Texas classrooms where phones aren't allowed), with beta testing underway and strong early community support.

• Growth beyond the app: Sophea and her co-founder mom are planning a future DFW-based nonprofit and community center — a safe, judgment-free space for neurodivergent kids to learn, connect, and thrive.

• Building the next generation of trades professionals
  Rooster offers a four-year construction management apprenticeship—hands-on learning, leadership development, and a formal certification that gives young people without college paths real career mobility and confidence.

• The ideal client: anyone with real needs and a real desire to solve them
  From families with "lemon homes" to businesses navigating structural challenges, John loves digging into the problem, partnering closely with people, and delivering solutions that are beautiful, functional, and lasting.
