For four years Jack worked seven days a week, and the business that was meant to give him freedom cost him a relationship, his health and three years without travel. Now he only takes calls three days a week and caps Zoom at ten hours, and he's making more money with far more white space in his calendar.

Jack explains:

• Why most founders build their business by default, and how it ends up eating every hour you give it
• How one call at 1pm can wipe out a whole morning of deep work for an ADHD brain, and why his calls now get their own days
• The ten hour Zoom cap that keeps his energy for clients, family and jiu jitsu
• Why nothing gets booked before 11am, and the morning launch pad that decides how the next eight hours go
• The daily business vitamins he has to finish before he's allowed to touch anything interesting
• Why he only works with dream clients, and how to write your own laws starting from your next milestone

At school Liam Harrison kept getting sent out of class for blurting and not concentrating. The same brain went on to win him eight world titles, then dragged him into a bender after almost every win.

Liam "Hitman" Harrison is an eight time world champion in Muay Thai and kickboxing, and one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters the UK has produced, with more than 120 pro fights. He is now co owner of Bad Company gym in Leeds, teaches seminars around the world and runs his own promotion, Hitman Fight League.

He explains:

* Why ADHD gets harder as an adult, and the traits his wife spotted before he did
* The 48 hour rule he wishes he'd had in his twenties to stop the crash after every win
* How one session at 13 gave his brain a hit that nothing else has ever matched
* Why he packed a bag for Thailand days after his first loss, and what six months on a mattress on the gym floor were like
* Why a rigid game plan lost him fights, and how his coach hid the plan inside his pad work
* How he set up seminars, his gym and boxing before he retired so the structure didn't disappear overnight
* He opens up about what his ADHD has been like for his wife, and the book that showed him both sides

Your business is growing, the money is going up, and you still catch yourself asking why you're doing any of it. Straight off a coaching call with a client who couldn't picture her future, Jack breaks down why so many ADHD founders get stuck in that loop, and why the usual way of setting long-term goals keeps them there. The way out starts with a question most of us can answer in seconds: what don't you want?

Jack explains:
• Why a heads-down sprint ends in "why am I doing this?" every time you come up for air
• Startup syndrome, and what's missing when you keep tearing things down to start again
• Why the version of you from two years ago is the wrong person to set today's goals
• The North Star built on how you want to feel, with concrete goals kept to short four-week hunts
• The "don't want" list, and how flipping it tells you what you do want
• The satnav rule: pick the destination and let the route change
