#140 14 Big Achievers with ADHD


Listen Later

Have you ever looked at someone wildly successful & thought “There’s no way they have ADHD”?


Well my friend, buckle up… because in this episode we’re celebrating 14 big achievers who all have ADHD (some with a little extra neuro-spice too!). Their success isn’t in spite of ADHD - it’s often because of it.


From world-class athletes like Simone Biles and Michael Phelps, to powerhouse entrepreneurs like Mel Robbins, Steven Bartlett, Gary Vee &Richard Branson, to creatives and change-makers like Anika Moa, Will.i.am, Chlöe Swarbrick & David Goggins - each one has learned to harness their fast, curious, restless, sparkly brain and turn it into fuel for greatness.


You’ll hear:

  •  Why ADHD traits like hyper-focus, impulsivity & drive can become huge advantages
  •  How late diagnosis transformed lives & careers
  •  Why success can look more zig-zaggy for ADHD brains & why that’s not a bad thing


You know that saying: you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time with?

As you listen, think about who you want to be the sum of. Who inspires you, motivates you & reminds you what’s possible for your life?
