Late diagnosed ADHD entrepreneur? Steve shares his own diagnosis story — decades of unexplained struggle, a career that looked like chaos from the outside, and finally understanding his ADHD brain at age 54.
In this episode, Steve goes back to the beginning of his own ADHD journey — from a career he used to joke had "career ADD," through a successful exit, corporate burnout, and building a coaching practice, all without knowing his brain was wired differently. He walks through the moment everything fell apart in 2023 despite his best year yet, what the diagnosis actually revealed (ADHD as a performance disorder, not an attention deficit), and the mindset shift that made the biggest difference: letting go of shame and treating ADHD as wiring to support, not a character flaw to fix.
Also in this episode: Steve's free live masterclass, "How to Cross the Dopamine Desert and Build Your Dream Business Even With ADHD," happening July 16th at 10am PT / 1pm ET. It's free, and a replay will be available if you can't make it live.
