Brendan Mahan has ADHD — and the drive to help others navigate their own ADHD landscapes. From a young age, Brendan knew he wanted to help people. When his college major options left little room to do that, he forged his own path. Now, he’s an ADHD coach and podcast host. From parenting to marriage to the workplace, Brendan’s got you covered. And he’s there to remind you that it’s OK to have ADHD. 

On this week’s episode of How’d You Get THAT Job?!, Brendan talks about how to stack different skills into the perfect combo of what works best for you. Find out why hobby consolidation could be the right move for ADHD folks. And get Brendan’s tips on finding the right career, how to self-advocate, and employer red flags to look out for.
