True story: I forgot my car in a parking lot today. Made it all the way home. My wife asked "where's the jeep?" and my first thought was "oh shit, did someone steal it?" This isn't the first time I've forgotten a car. I have ADHD and level one autism, which means I get wildly obsessed with things I care about—it's why I learn things so quickly and see patterns in complex systems—but I also completely forget shit that's not in my focus. I've flown to the wrong cities, forgotten to eat all day, and yes, forgotten multiple cars. Extreme weaknesses always come with extreme strengths. I'm really good at systematizing complex sales models and building businesses, but I can't remember to take out the trash. This episode shares what I've learned at 45 after years of beating myself up trying to "fix" it: accepting it instead of fighting it, stopping the guilt, not trusting my memory (I tie hoodies around my waist as reminders), thinking in teams where people offset my weaknesses, and using tactics like walking, fidget toys, and no-device Sundays. I don't have this figured out—I just forgot a car—but I've created an environment where my business thrives, my marriage thrives, and I can focus on my superpowers. Sharing this in case it helps you too.
