InfoSec to Insanity

Episode #33 – The ADHD Mind in a 24/7 World


Listen Later

In this brutally honest and deeply personal episode, Evan Francen and co-host Matt Goodacre dive headfirst into the chaos, creativity, and constant mental noise of living with ADHD — especially in a nonstop, hyper-connected world like ours.

Based on Evan’s blog post, “The ADHD Mind in a 24/7 World”, this conversation explores:
  • What it really feels like to have an ADHD brain in cybersecurity
  • How the industry’s always-on culture clashes with neurodivergent minds
  • The strengths, struggles, and misunderstood brilliance of ADHD professionals
  • Why silence can be deafening, and why focus is often a moving target
They’ll share war stories, trade coping strategies, and (probably) get distracted along the way — all while keeping it 100% authentic.

📣 Let’s talk about ADHD, mental health, and surviving the infosec grind — with empathy and zero bullsh*t.
