Having #ADD or #ADHD is a gift, not a curse. Hear from people all around the globe, from every walk of life, in every profession, from Rock Stars to CEOs, from Teachers to Politicians, who have learned how to unlock the gifts of their #ADD and #ADHD diagnosis, and use it to their personal and professional advantage, to build businesses, become millionaires, or simply better their lives.
Our Guest today is Mario Major, #Innovator, Connector, and Catalyst. Mario is a creative thinker who has a knack for seeing what others overlook. He has a diverse and vibrant professional journey and was diagnosed with #ADHD and #Asperger’s. Mario's unique view of the world allows him to connect invisible dots and find new thought processes. He is the creator of the Neuro Universal Language and the Breakfast Innovation Club, an innovative approach that rejects the “same same but different" solutions in innovation.
Mario has no formal degree but has worked with IBM, working with mainframes and delved into resource deployment. His #entrepreneurial spirit led him to start a carbon-free surf shop and an espresso bar. His experience extends to working with horses and serving as a tour guide in Bruges.
Now focused on #innovation, Mario has discovered that he thrives as a catalyst for ideas and concepts, pushing out new creations daily. With his medication aiding in focusing his thoughts, he enjoys the newfound ability to silently appreciate the world around him. Looking forward to the next 40 years, Mario embraces his strengths in connecting and innovating, continuing to make his unique mark on the world. Enjoy!
