678: Why I Treat My ADHD Like a Business Problem—Not a Mental Disorder


Listen Later

What if your struggle to focus isn’t a flaw—but a signal that you need better scaffolding to succeed?

If you’ve got ADD (or think you do), you’re not alone—especially in the mortgage space. In fact, entrepreneurs are 5–7x more likely to have ADHD than the general population.

In this solo episode, I walk through 5 tools that have helped me manage my focus and show up with energy and clarity. This isn’t a prescription—it’s what works for me. But if you’re constantly feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or underperforming, it might help you too.

We’ll Cover:
  • Morning Routine as Compass – Why I start each day with gratitude, goals, and reorientation—not just work.
  • Scaffolding Through Team – How an EA, a COO, and role clarity help keep me operating in my zone of genius.
  • Daily Exercise for Mental Reset – Why I work out after work to clear my head and show up better at home.
  • Sleep as a Performance Tool – Why good sleep beats any hack or productivity system, hands down.
  • Medication (and No Shame About It) – How going on a low dose of ADD meds helped me focus and show up better.
  • ADD isn’t a weakness—it’s wiring. With the right systems, team, and structure, it can be a strength. But don’t wing it. Build scaffolding that helps you thrive.
