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.

You Built Your ADHD Entrepreneur Creativity, Not Your Brain

Jul 16, 2026

You’re not creative because you have an ADHD brain. You’re creative because friction forced you to be. The Impulsive Thinker® tears down the myths about ADHD and Entrepreneur creativity.

 

In This Episode:

  • Why friction—not your ADHD diagnosis—creates real creative skills
  • The traps of too much and too little friction for ADHD entrepreneurs
  • Growth mindset versus victim mindset in the face of business resistance

 

What You’ll Take Away:

  • Your creative drive wasn’t handed to you by your brain—it was built through scars and pushback
  • Repetition under pressure is where skills get made, not boredom-breaking
  • Too much friction burns you out, not up
  • Being bored isn’t a flaw; it’s fuel for finding new angles
  • You, not your wiring, are responsible for what you make out of resistance

 

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This solo episode of The Impulsive Thinker® challenges the lie that ADHD brains are default creative machines.

You’ll hear why standard business advice fails ADHD entrepreneurs and why workarounds became your standard. Grind, burnout, and “follow the money”—The Impulsive Thinker® breaks down how the wrong kind of friction eats your drive. If the world keeps telling you to stick to their plan, but you keep building your own—this episode is built for you. Hit play.
