To succeed we must first learn how to fail. Anyone of significance, from famous people to business moguls, has strung together a long string of failures. In this episode, we talk about how we have transformed our relationship with failure and no longer treat it like a bad thing. We understand that failure is an inevitable part of the journey of life and those of us with ADHD know this very well. Our society encourages us to avoid stuff that is unpleasant. This is ultimately detrimental because we need to embrace hardship and failure. Please take risks. Reach big. Fall down and then get right back up again. Ready set fail forward!

This episode gets into the topic of hyperfocus, a trait that some have characterized as a superpower and others have indicated it's rather destructive nature. We go into how those of us with ADHD can make hyperfocus work for us and against us in different contexts. We look at it from personal experiences and explore how it is that some people seem to be able to harness their hyperfocus and reach new heights (i.e. flow states), while others spin their wheels incessantly.
