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 shares his personal story of overcoming 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.

The Impulsive Thinker - Accountability Strategies for ADHD Entrepreneurs
play

10/28/21 • 8 min

This podcast only came to a reality because I did this project differently. This podcast almost came to the usual ADHD demise of being dropped because of our negative self-talk and rumination. This time I reached out to people to discuss the project and they became my accountability partners and cheerleaders. Who keeps you accountable? Who cheers you on?

André, The Impulsive Thinker welcomes Dr. William Dodson to explore the intricate workings of the ADHD nervous system, particularly focusing on the concept of interest-based activation, as opposed to importance-based, which dominates the neurotypical world. Together, they unpack how understanding and leveraging the unique triggers of the ADHD brain can significantly enhance productivity and satisfaction. Dr. Dodson provides practical insights into how those with ADHD can thrive by structuring their tasks and environments according to what naturally stimulates their engagement, shedding light on why traditional structures often feel restrictive or ineffective to them.
