At 15, Elliott Rayne walked out of school, taught himself advanced tech from a basement, and built a company that he would sell by age 20.

What followed wasn’t celebration, it was identity loss, burnout, and rebuilding everything from zero.

In this episode, Elliott opens up about:

- Turning ADHD from a limitation into a competitive advantage- Losing purpose after early success- Why tools matter more than talent- How his new AI company operates on clarity, culture, and simplicity

- The three types of luck every entrepreneur can create- Why most people fail: they quit long before results arrive

This isn’t a conversation about business. It’s about self-awareness, discipline, identity, and building a life that actually fits your brain.
