From getting in trouble for talking too much in school to giving keynote speeches on stages all over the world, Peter Shankman has transformed what was once perceived as a challenge into one of his many strengths. 

Here, we explore Peter’s version of an ADHD brain, the source of Peter’s drive and spirit, and what to make of a diagnosis. Peter also shares his love of order and secrets to staying focused where skydiving and a Peloton addiction take centre stage. Peter closes with an inspiring invitation for anyone with ADHD. 

As a successful entrepreneur, Peter is known for his business acumen, customer insight and economic foresight. Author of five best-selling books, including “Faster Than Normal”, he is also an advocate for the neurodiverse and the neurodiverse economy. His latest auto-biographical book is designed to empower ADHD kids. You’ll hear Peter both on news channels and serving as a global brand ambassador. And, you might even see him jumping from a plane.
