Today’s guest needs no introduction.  Dave Cottrell joins us as an award-winning Mental Health educator & content creator but that is not what makes him great…What is truly amazing about Dave is that he is second to none in his true love for the people in which he mentors.  Not something that many can say.  Dave cares because he actually cares, not because caring “works.”  I highly advise you to follow him on all of his social media channels listed below & you can find him on instagram as well…

Today’s guest is Sasha Young and she has one of the best and funniest personalities I have had the pleasure of speaking with.  She was not diagnosed with ADHD until she was 48 years old.  Sasha has been married for 24 years and blessed with two kids who are now in their 20’s.  To her credit, Sasha is one of the few ADHD people I know that has returned to finish college after being removed from it for the past 27 years.  She has a wonderful personality and is thriving with ADHD….

It doesn’t get more inspiring than this…The first guest on Season 4 of Lobow’s Spark is Grace Banyan.  From her difficult childhood to having over 40 employers before she was diagnosed…she has chosen to start her life from the first day of her ADHD diagnosis.  In her past, Grace worked in the adult industry and she discusses how that affected her in ways she didn’t realize until now.  The woman behind this amazing success story can be found on twitter @GraceBanyan.  Grace is also helping people with their new creative online businesses, particularly by using YouTube and audio social apps like Clubhouse and Greenroom. For more information visit her (soon to be live) website at gracebanyan.com or book a consultation at calendly.com/gracebanyan .

The biggest fire yet...In the final episode of season 3 is an inspirational gathering where Lobow and his previous guests all get together at one time.  Each prior guest brings up a topic or question of their choosing and everyone provides feedback or experiences unique to them.  We all have ADHD. We all use it differently. We are all teachers and we are all students. This episode proves just how different each person with ADHD is and how different the strategies we use really are.  We do not agree on everything but we respect one another.  If you have ADHD, feel completely free to be yourself and comfortable around those who understand and thrive on being different.  

Season 3 of Lobow’s SPARK was produced in loving memory of a close friend who passed away due to mental illness. YOU ARE LOVED AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

Today’s fireside chat is with a close friend of mine Todd McCollough.  This episode is short but necessary if you have ADHD because it focuses on what exercise can do for the brain.  Todd developed a program called TMAC fitness (https://www.tmacfitness.com) which caters to the ADHD brain more than any other I have found.  His workouts are under 20 minutes and you can do them from anywhere..with no equipment...all you have to have.. is a phone.  What is most beneficial about TMAC fitness is the mindset... “if you want to get out of your mind, get into your body.” If you have ADHD, wouldn't it be nice to do this every once in a while considering our minds never stop?  Be motivated to literally hit the "play" button to exersice everyday...I can tell you it works.  Enjoy listening to Lobow & TMAC in this episode that is just as short as the workouts he has developed.

The featured guest today is Dorsey McFadden (@flexyouradhd) and she runs the website flexyouradhd.com.  Dorsey has no filter in telling you her true feelings on the subject and to be honest, some of them contradict what I believe which makes for an outstanding episode.  This conversation will motivate you in a real way to see both the positives and negatives of ADHD.  Dorsey also had a very creative way of getting me to explain a big reason why this podcast was started in the first place.  Be inspired and stay true to yourself by listening to Lobow and Dorsey discuss ADHD.

Today’s Fireside chat features Shannon Craver.  Originally from Canada, she currently lives in London where she runs her own design studio.  Shannon also writes about ADHD (https://www.getrevue.co/profile/adhddesigner) and she was recently diagnosed just 1 year ago.  Her twitter information is @ADHDdesigner and I encourage you to go to her page as she has many tweets regarding ADHD.  She is an amazing person who has chosen to let the advantages of this "disorder" outweigh the negatives.  This episode has some very funny moments as we discuss why doing laundry will never be at the top of the ADHD priority list.  Our chat is yet another example of how the current education system can be devastating to someone w/ADHD.  Enjoy and be motivated by Lobow and Shannon’s ADHD discussion!

Today’s guest is Geraint Evans and he is from England.  This discussion brings many things to light in support of my SPARK stragey but also dives into some of the issues with viewing ADHD as a superpower.  Geraint is a very successful author and if you would like to read some of his work on ADHD, please go to https://www.geraint.works.  If you have ADHD, this episode is for you.  It is challenging, fun, and motivating. Enjoy this incredible chat between Lobow & Geraint!
