Chapter 151: The Holderness Family conquers content creation by corralling chaos

What do Xmas Jammies, ADHD, and The Amazing Race have in common?

 

The Holderness Family!

 

Penn and Kim Holderness have created viral videos with ... billions of views.

 

They entered Season 33 of The Amazing Race ... and won.

 

They wrote one of my favourite books ... 'ADHD is Awesome'.

 

Penn and Kim started their careers in broadcasting but have old ditched that to find a massive 8 million person following as creators of hilarious yet educational videos on topics as wide-ranging as wearing masks during COVID, the 5 stages of pickleball, and, of course, losing your phone.

 

They host the popular Holderness Family podcast and their book 'ADHD Is Awesome' helped me realize I have ADHD. (Have you left your keys in the fridge before, too?)

 

In this special couples episode of 3 Books my beautiful wife Leslie joins me to talk with Penn and Kim Holderness about better names for ADHD, the secrets of making great comedy, the benefits of turning 40, premarital counseling tips, Shel Silverstein's best poems, why the world need introverts, and, of course, The Holderness Family's 3 ... no wait, 6! ... most formative books...
