S1E6 : How It Looks To Focus As A "Neuro Non-Conforming" Entrepreneur w/ Simon Kozlowski
In last week's episode, I talked a bit about "Force vs Flow" in your business as a neurodivergent entrepreneur and when I asked Simon to come on the podcast to expand on this topic, I was not expecting him to introduce a new, quite honestly, more accurate term for what to call humans with brains like ours.
I broke down some of the main topics by time stamp below because this one ended up on the longer side, but believe me, it was worth the 800 hours I spent editing this monster during a Mercury Retrograde in order to drop it for you all by Friday (Never mind that it's going to be 9pm on a Friday; I did the damn thing!)
If you're "keen" to connect with Simon further, you can add him on Facebook or LinkedIn -OR- if you need some guidance in your business, you can head over to his website and click on "Ask the Expert" to pick his brain!
