Today’s ADHD friend is RJ Zimmerman and this is one of the most emotionally inspiring episodes to date.  RJ is a sobriety coach, mental health advocate and he has been sober for going on 9 years.  But more important than any of those things is that RJ is an incredible person and a very close friend to so many people.  He and I open up about what ADHD can be and the resilience associated with it.  We discuss strength, weakness, and the power of words in mental health and sobriety.  RJ’s humor, stubbornness, and flat out heart and passion is the reason it is once again an honor to say
RJ…YOU ARE…SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE

Follow RJ on all social media platforms @untappedkeg but his main channel is on youtube where you will find such valuable information when it comes to addiction & recovery.

Today’s friend is Up4thechallenge and while he has not been diagnosed with ADHD, he has both Autism & OCD.  In this conversation, we discuss his journey and the strengths and weaknesses he sees from the struggle he faces within it.  Up is a mental health facilitator and educator, and in my opinion, one of the best in the world when it comes to mental health issues.  He is a close friend, a massive supporter of this podcast, and as much as he might not admit it, a very loving person.  It is for these reasons it is an honor to once again say that
UP…YOU ARE…SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE.

Today’s ADHD friend is Dave Cottrell, otherwise known as MindsetbyDave. Dave is an award winning mindfulness coach and mental health educator.  In this episode we discuss the importance of building a bridge for yourself, seeing the good in yourself, taking breaks when needed, and so much more. On a personal note, I consider Dave to be a close friend of mine as he leads by the incredible example he sets for so many out there that are part of his community.  Dave is compassionate towards all mental health issues, he is an extremely hard worker, and simply put, a kick ass human being.  It is for these reasons it is an honor to once again say...

Today's ADHD friend is Guy Farmer and he is one of my best friends.  ADHD & Emotion…We talk face to face about this with Guy who has recently been through the loss of his father.  He and I grew up together and in this episode, we will discuss what it feels like to lose someone so close to you.

Guy Farmer is a passionate musician whose journey began in the humble corridors of his middle school. A natural with the guitar and a born songwriter, Guy played in several bands during his high school years, later captivating audiences every Friday night with his own band, The RiverSide Rounders. Shortly after graduating college, Guy's talent was recognized by WaterWorks Entertainment music publishing, who signed him in 2007. From then on, he has been consistently writing and performing music, with his debut album 'Guy Farmer' hitting the shelves in 2008. Though he hasn't released more albums, Guy has been diligently recording songs. In fact, he's amassed enough music for five full albums! In 2019, he planned to release a new EP, 'Micro Dose', but the pandemic's arrival in 2020 delayed the release. Fast forward to this summer, and 'Micro Dose' is set for release! It will be available on iTunes and several streaming services. A lover of tangible music mediums, Guy will also be offering CDs with an embedded download code, allowing fans to add the tunes to their devices. Because for Guy, it's all about spreading happiness through music!

Because Guy is such a close frined of mine, it is a true honor to say that GUY, YOU ARE…SOMETHING…FOR SOMEONE….And that someone is me.  Thank you.
