Episode Summary

This episode of the ADHD Roundtable features a candid and insightful discussion among entrepreneurs with ADHD, exploring the challenges and strengths of running a business while navigating ADHD. The participants share their personal journeys of discovering their ADHD, the unique ways it influences their work, and how they balance creativity with the demands of entrepreneurship. Key themes include the importance of rest, the value of celebrating wins, and leveraging tools like body doubling and digital systems for productivity.

✨ Highlights & Takeaways

• ADHD brings unique strengths to entrepreneurship, like creativity, quick problem-solving, and the ability to manage multiple tasks.

• Challenges like time blindness, disorganization, and difficulty resting can be mitigated with tools, rituals, and external support systems.
