Episode Title: The ADHD Brain & Running a Photography Business

Guest: Elena S Blair, Elena S Blair Photography, Seattle, WA

We Discuss:

• How ADHD traits like hyperfocus, empathy, and intuition can become superpowers in creative entrepreneurship

• Why traditional work environments often stifle ADHD brains — and how self-employment offers freedom and flexibility

• The art of building systems that fit your brain instead of fighting it

• Using dopamine-driven motivation to fuel creativity and productivity

• The emotional side of ADHD: reframing inconsistency and distraction as strengths

• How Elena and Jill each structure their businesses to work with their natural energy cycles

TLDR:
Elena and Jill share an honest, encouraging conversation about why photographers and other creatives with ADHD often thrive in entrepreneurship. They unpack the unique strengths ADHD brings to the table — from deep empathy and creative intuition to lightning-fast problem-solving — and explore how to design systems and businesses that work with your brain, not against it. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just recognizing ADHD tendencies in yourself, this episode offers validation, laughter, and practical tools for building a business that actually feels good to run.
