Summary:

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jeff, an expert helping people with ADHD transform their lives, especially in the workplace. We discussed Dr. Jeff's personal journey with ADHD, the challenges he faced, and how he developed a system to help others harness their ADHD. He tells us about being saved from wandering into the street, teaching himself to code, how Adderall was helpful until he had a heart attack and couldn't take it anymore and much more. Dr. Jeff helps us see how humor can bring peace with our journey.

Key Points:

• ADHD doesn't have to be viewed as a deficit
• How accountability can help change habits and achieve goals.
• Self-compassion is key; failure is not a reflection of one's worth.
• Mindset shifts can transform one's approach to challenges.
• Community support enhances personal growth and accountability. Understanding ADHD can lead to better career choices.
• Living with uncertainty can heighten adrenaline and dopamine levels.
• Being able to laugh at life can help us find a way through
• Creating supportive environments can enhance productivity.
