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). Peter shares his thoughts on “Rituals vs. Resolutions” to help those who make new year resolutions and his take on the “hustle economy” that’s currently a big movement within the entrepreneurial circles.

Peter started his career at America Online as a Senior News Editor. He helped to found the AOL Newsroom and spearheaded coverage of the Democratic and Republican 1996 conventions. He then started a PR firm called The Geek Factory.

He was the creator of Help a Reporter Out ("HARO"), a service for journalists which was acquired by Vocus, Inc. in 2010 which remained until 2012.

He has been a guest speaker at TedX, South by Southwest, Affiliate Summit, BlogWorld Los Angeles and New York, the Direct Marketing Association.

Shankman is also an angel investor. His investments include Daily Worth, Namely, Pixability, Right Next Door, and Simplist.

Peter has written four books on marketing and customer service. His latest being, “Faster Than Normal”.
