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.

An ADHD Story | Kevin Budzey
Kevin Budzey is a small businessperson that has worked in small companies and large corporate enterprises over the span of 36 years. He has always known "his place" was to be an owner of a business and put to work his entrepreneurial drive and spirit. When Kevin was 53, the company he worked for 11 years decided to trim their sales force and let him go along with other senior sales staff. Within a couple of months COVID began to rage while Kevin was contemplating his next move, and then the phone started ringing. It seemed only natural to help distributors having a hard time accessing pandemic supplies source them. His entrepreneurial spirit kicked into gear and a business was born!
