We are so excited to share our conversation with our very first Millennial dad guest: Mike McLeod! Mike is a professional speaker, ADHD and executive function expert, and the founder and CEO of GrowNOW ADHD who recently released his first book, The Executive Function Playbook. We start the episode reflecting on Helen’s daughter’s first birthday party and how adorably fabulous it was! Then we kick things off and ask Mike to share his journey to becoming the founder of GrowNOW ADHD. He shares his expertise about what ADHD and executive functions are (and what they are not)--spoiler alert: it’s not just kids having messy backpacks. He details the four pillars of executive functioning and explains how he takes a different approach at GrowNOW ADHD. We address how social media can make parenting harder because of all the “parenting experts” giving advice. We talk about his experience of writing a book and how it feels now that it’s out there. Mike shares his classroom observation experiences after traveling the country and visiting schools, including the problems he sees with edtech and school-issued devices. We reflect on what it’s like being millennial parents and how we’re all just trying our best. Mike and Jordan share their memories of a beloved 90's childhood play place: Discovery Zone. We were honored to have Mike join our podcast to share his experiences and expertise.
