Two academics anchor Dave Burgess's nearest audiences: George Couros at 0.96 and Todd Whitaker at 0.94 form one clear peak, while a second cluster of education-sector organizations and tools — We Are Teachers (0.92), Remind (0.88), ASCD (0.87), and Discovery Education (0.87) — forms the other. The shape is two-peak: one neighborhood built around individual educator-academics, a second around institutional education brands and resources.

Within the top 10, the subcategory breakdown makes the pattern concrete. Four neighbors are Education organizations or brands (We Are Teachers, Remind, ASCD, Discovery Education), two are Academics (Couros, Whitaker), one is Motivational (TeacherGoals, 0.89), one is a fellow Author (Jon Gordon, 0.88), one is an Education brand (Google for Education, 0.87 — categorized as Tools and Resources), and one is a Website (The Babylon Bee, 0.85). That last neighbor is the structural outlier: nine of the top 10 sit squarely inside the educator ecosystem, while The Babylon Bee represents a distinct audience thread that points toward the wider graph's second dimension — visible in positions beyond the top 10 where conservative-media and lifestyle neighbors accumulate.

Burgess is himself an Author, and Jon Gordon is the only other Author in the top 10 (0.88); the dominant pull comes from the educator-professional world rather than from the author category broadly.

The overall shape is an audience concentrated in K–12 professional development circles, with a secondary signal that extends well outside that world.
