🎙️ EPISODE SUMMARY
ADHD, Intensity, and Mission: Lessons from Oskar Schindler with Kevin Roberts

What if ADHD isn’t a disorder—but a different way of experiencing the world?

In this powerful conversation, Boysen Hodgson sits down with longtime MKP brother Kevin Roberts—author, ADHD coach, and expert in neurodivergence—for a deep dive into the gifts and challenges of living with an ADHD brain.

Kevin shares how intensity, support, and mission have shaped his life—and how those same elements helped Oskar Schindler save over 1,200 lives during the Holocaust. From school struggles to screen addiction, from neurobiology to mentorship, this episode reframes ADHD not as a deficit, but as a calling.

🧠 Top Takeaways:

ADHD is real—and rooted in brain structure and genetics.
Support systems are essential for navigating neurodivergence.
Purpose and intensity can unlock incredible focus.
Relationships matter: “It’s the singer, not the song.”

Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone exploring your own neurodivergence, this episode offers insight, compassion, and tools to reframe difference as potential.
