The Impulsive Thinker
André Brisson - High Achieving ADHD Entrepreneur
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.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities | Dave Sanderson
Dave Sanderson, President of Dave Sanderson Speaks International, discusses how he learned how key moments in your life prepare you to handle the events of today, how the meaning you attach to something can affect emotions in your life, and the need to change the narrative of adversity for a better future. This he learned when he reflected on the events that transpired during Airways Flight 1549 descent and ditching (crash, as the passengers would say) into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009.

On Communication: The Role of an Entrepreneur Translator | Erik Solbakken
Erik Solbakken, the creator and author of the Accountant Success Formula, joins us to discuss the NEED for an entrepreneur to have a translator (or buffer!) between them and their team. Apparently, growth mindset entrepreneurs speak a different language, or gobbledygook, that requires someone to translate to get projects executed, to keep everyone on the same page and reduce our frustration. Also, to be fair, our intensity does scares the crap out of people, which also requires a "Buffer." This is a fun episode. Check out the ADHD Transform Journey Program that is now available.

Why Hobbies Matter for ADHD Entrepreneurs
André discusses how the big push today is about finding that "one" thing to be passionate about and chasing it to the end. That works for many people - AND - it doesn't work for others. If it doesn't work for you - then that is OK, and he explains why!! You may have many interests, and you STOP when you get bored or no longer interested - THAT IS OK!!!! There is a difference between quitting and stopping. Check out the ADHD Transform Journey Program that is now available. We would like to hear from you!
