Join Andrew Lees, Clint McPherson, and their guest John Torrens as they discuss how ADHD can be approached and maximized for entrepreneurial success. John shares his approach to leading as an entrepreneur with ADHD. He also reflects on the tricks that help work with—not against—ADHD and how the two types of ADHD impacts function in work and business. For John, it's important to respect how your teams work best as a leader. One way to do that is to refrain from delegating work during the weekends, especially at night.
In this episode you will learn:
- Businesses aren't systemized to maximize talents with mental conditions
- The Inattentive and Hyperactive-Impulsive Types of ADHD
- Mindfulness helps ADHD
- Having a #2 in your organization is crucial
- Your team don't work the same way you do
- And so much more!
