Listen Later

You’re about to meet Jack Suddaby, a man who went from causing chaos on the airwaves to navigating parental heartbreak, all while being ADHD to stay in any box. Jack describes his future self as being a little bit silly, carefree and being surrounded by like minded people as a community. This episode is packed with raw honesty, laughs, and the kind of life lessons you don’t see coming.


Jack doesn’t hold back as he talks about his ADHD, the stigma he felt around it growing up, and why he refused to let anyone stick a label on him until he was older. He shares his journey into the world of radio (spoiler: there were many wrong buttons pressed and a fair bit of panic), but also dives into deeper territory, like the moment his parents got back together, only to split up again. It’s a heartbreak story, but it’s also real and relatable. Jack talks about his therapy journey and reveals the surprising impact it had on his life and relationships and reasons why he started.


But don’t think this episode is all heavy. Jack is the ultimate charmer, he’ll have you laughing as he talks about navigating life with ADHD and why he has so much respect for women (spoiler: it involves periods and communication). Oh, and community? For Jack, it’s all about being with good people, surrounded by trees, and staying a bit cheeky, no he doesn't hug trees for a living.
What you’ll take away from this episode:


  • Therapy that works: Jack thought he didn’t need it, and then it cracked open a whole new level of self-awareness was born
  • ADHD without limits: Jack’s unapologetic refusal to be boxed in is both inspiring and rational
  • Navigating parental chaos: His parents’ on-again and then divorce hits deep, and led Jack to seek out his own emotional clarity
  • Success: Forget status and money, Jack is all about silly moments, fun, friendships, and feeling at home in his community.


    • This episode is a little bit chaotic, silly and heartfelt that proves you don’t need to follow the script to find happiness.
