Peter Shankman and The Boy with the Faster Brain


Listen Later

In today’s episode we talk to Peter Shankman. 

Peter is an entrepreneur, a keynote speaker, the best-selling author of six books, founder of the neurodiversity consultancy firm Mental Capital, and he’s a dad. 

Peter talks to us about parenting, the power of getting out of your own element to get work done, and his recent children’s book, “The Boy with the Faster Brain”, and why ADHDers have to learn how to use the faster brain that they have, rather than the neurotypical brain that they don’t have. 

Also, his dog might have the best timing in the whole world.  But you’ll have to listen to find out why.
