EP19: Author, entrepreneur, angel investor, & father Peter Shankman on rituals, ADHD, & his 2 speeds
Peter Shankman discusses the 4 rules he lives by each day to help him succeed. The 4 rules are some concepts that he shares from his new book, “Faster Than Normal” which is a practical and honest guide that rewrites the script on ADHD. Faster Than Normal is also the name of Peters podcast (the most successful podcast on ADD and ADHD).
