It's been a minute or two since my last new Rocket Ship Founder podcast episode. During the podcast hiatus, I've been leaning in to my journey as a late diagnosed ADHD entrepreneur. Over the past two months, I've been reshaping my coaching practice. After focusing on helping Seed Stage to Series A Founders for the past seven years, I'm evolving my practice to supporting ADHD entrepreneurs and solopreneurs get out of overwhelm, harness their focus and 2X their business progress. Rocket Ship Founder podcast will be evolving as well - with a final form to be determined. For now, I will be putting out episodes from time to time that I think will be useful to every entrepreneur. Which brings us to today's episode...

Recently, I was asked by a client to present to the leadership team on how to best support ADHD team members.

It was a great conversation. ADHD team members can be your most brilliant and innovative problem solvers. ADHD brains are wired to constantly learn and create connections and possibilities.

I walked them through the key differences between ADHD and neurotypical brains, especially the lower levels of dopamine and norepinephrine.

How this results in lower reserves of executive function compared more neurotypical brains

And how that expresses itself in things like time blindness, task initiation and prioritization challenges, rejection sensitivity and other facets of ADHD life

But the biggest takeaway for this leadership team was that working with ADHD brains can actually help you level up your business.

Because what helps ADHD team members prioritize, focus and execute is getting really good at operating like the best companies do.

In this week's Rocket Ship Founder podcast episode I talk about how working with neurodiverse brains can actually help your business level up. I'll cover:

• Why the challenges of ADHD actually can help you operate better

• 3 specific areas to focus on that will drive better results
