What happens when hundreds of people with ADHD get together in Dallas for a conference on ADHD? Chaos, obviously. But the great, life-changing mostly controlled chaos that makes you feel like your dreams are not only attainable but within reach. And that's what you'll get from this lively and thoughtful conversation between Lindsay Guentzel and Ron Capalbo. Ron is an ADHD coach based out of Los Angeles and the duo recorded this episode not too long after meeting one another in the lobby of the conference's hotel. 

What can you expect? A look back at Ron's own ADHD journey and what pushed him to become a coach, his vision and approach for helping the ADHD community and his go-to karaoke pick when he really wants to impress the crowd. The important stuff, obviously.

Check out Ron on social media and find out more about the work he's doing as a coach here. 

Don't forget to check out Refocused LIVE every Thursday in December at 1pm eastern/12pm central. You can join the audience and get the event added to your calendar right here!
