In this episode, my guests and I challenge traditional business systems that force neurodivergent entrepreneurs into rigid, capitalist molds designed for "worker bees" rather than diverse minds. We explore how to dismantle hierarchical, one-size-fits-all approaches in favor of flexible, accommodation-first practices that prioritize individual capacity and joy over external productivity metrics. Rather than helping neurodivergent people fit into existing systems, we advocate for fundamentally redesigning how we do business to work for different types of brains. Meet the Speakers Sarah K.
