As someone who spent most of my life undiagnosed with ADHD, I'm passionate about sharing how what many see as limitations can actually be superpowers when you learn to work with them, not against them. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my own journey of late diagnosis, sobriety, and building Bluebird Tattoo - and how my ADHD traits actually helped me succeed. Whether you have ADHD or face other challenges, this episode is about finding your own path and turning your perceived weaknesses into strengths.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The five gifts of ADHD according to "The Gift of Adult ADD" and how traits like emotional sensitivity and creativity can become entrepreneurial advantages

• Why being "nature smart" and having the ability to see the big picture can help ground you as a business owner and artist

• How hyper-focus, when channeled properly, can become an unstoppable force for achieving your goals

• The unexpected superpower of impulsivity - how having "zero regard for consequences" enabled bold business moves

• My personal journey through sobriety, building a business, and discovering that struggling through challenges undiagnosed made me stronger

• Why your diagnosis (ADHD or otherwise) should inform your path but never limit your potential

• The importance of finding your own systems and methods rather than forcing yourself to fit conventional approaches
