Ryan Walter Wagner needs a schedule, yet daily variety, to work with his ADHD. Ryan has lived multiple lives, from touring in his punk band, to owning his own record store, to working in a portrait studio. Now, he thinks he’s finally found his home in freelance photography. Being his own boss fits his need for freedom and doing things in his own way.
After being diagnosed in his 40s, so much of Ryan’s past started to make sense: His brain just works differently. He documents this, and stories from many others, in his ADHD portrait project. In this week’s episode of How’d You Get THAT Job?!, learn how the perfect job may push you out of your comfort zone at times — and that it’s never too late to learn more about yourself.
