What do TEDx talks with millions of views, medical leadership during a global pandemic, and squirrels have in common? Meet Dr. Ravi Iyer β€” internist, educator, viral speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity and meaningful human connection.

In this episode, Adrienne goes no prep needed with Dr. Iyer, uncovering:

  • 🧠 The truth behind "performance mentality" and how to build mental muscle
  • 🎯 The power of focus in an age of distraction (yes, even with ADHD!)
  • πŸ“š The story behind his TED talk takedown (and comeback!)
  • 🌍 How his Education Without Borders and iFLY programs are changing student lives
  • ✍️ Why eating the menu (instead of the meal) is how most people live β€” and how to stop

Get ready to laugh, learn, and possibly rethink everything you know about attention, leadership, and what it takes to go from stuck… to strong.
