We celebrate ADHD entrepreneur success and discuss challenges and solutions. Having lived with undiagnosed ADHD for a large part of his entrepreneurial journey, the host André Brisson will share his personal stories on how he overcame his undiagnosed symptoms and how he refined his systems, routines and habits once diagnosed with self-awareness and personal growth. André will interview high-achieving ADHD entrepreneurs, ADHD experts, and strength discovery experts covering many topics including their own obstacles and successes, strategies to manage their ADHD, share knowledge to gain insights and more. André will also be interviewed by guest hosts to pull out solutions and information from his brain – since his solutions are impulsive thoughts when talking to someone else. André Brisson was diagnosed at 44 with severe ADHD and Asperger’s. He has lived it, researched it, and transformed himself into a higher functioning ADHD entrepreneur.

If you’re an ADHD Entrepreneur or parent who’s puzzled by how intelligence and emotional challenges can clash, this episode’s for you. André and Dr. Russell dig into what “gifted” really means, why intellect doesn’t guarantee maturity, and how to better support 2e kids—and adults—at home or work. Get ready to rethink assumptions and learn why emotional growth doesn’t always keep pace with sharp brains.
