In this episode of Great Men, Shane Sams sits down with writer, entrepreneur, and educator Joe Nicoletti of UnchainedWriter.com for an honest conversation about living with adult ADHD. Both Shane and Joe share their journeys toward diagnosis, including how noticing symptoms in their children led them to seek answers for themselves. They talk openly about the emotional impact of finally understanding their brains, the stigma surrounding medication, and why ADHD is often overlooked in high functioning adults who appear successful on the outside while struggling internally.

The conversation also dives into practical strategies that help ADHD entrepreneurs thrive, from visual calendars and noise canceling headphones to body doubling, real time journaling, and building systems that work with their wiring instead of against it. Shane and Joe also explore the surprising strengths that often come with ADHD including creativity, hyperfocus, and pattern recognition. Rather than viewing ADHD as something to fix, they discuss how learning to steward their unique wiring has helped them become better fathers, leaders, and entrepreneurs.
