As a welcome to all our new listeners who found us from our wonderful interview last week with Seth Godin, I thought it might be a good time to flip it up a bit, and let you learn a little more about me, your host. For the past six months, I've been interviewing successful people with ADHD every day, but very few of you know my story. Perhaps now is the right time to change that.

Also, I'd like to put out a request: If you know of anyone who you think would make a great guest for future episodes of Faster Than Normal, I'd love to meet them! You can have them reach out to me at here on the contact page - Or send me their info, and I'll reach out to them directly. We're always looking for people with passionate, positive ADHD stories to tell - how ADHD helped improve their lives, and take them to the next level. Remember: ADHD is a gift, not a curse. PS: Extra bonus points if the person you know has some kind of celebrity status or following. It's truly amazing how many publicists don't understand the value of putting their clients on podcasts - Especially podcasts like this one. So let's change that conversation!

Anyway, here's me - open, honest, and raw. Hope you enjoy it, hope it's useful, and as always, thank you for listening.

In this episode, David and Peter discuss:

• David tells his story (02:04)
• The benefits of having ADHD (03:41)
• Dealing with a thousand of ideas going on at once (05:34)
• Growing up feeling different (07:28)
• Advice to your younger self (11:18)
• When Peter realized he has a super power (12:12)
• Dealing with too many choices (14:02)
• Peter's Central Park story (15:45)
• Addiction to exercise (17:47)
• Being a parent with ADD/ADHD (21:33)
• Things Peter still struggles with (23:25)

I literally can't even right now. I present to you an interview with Seth Godin. Yes. THE Seth Godin. He's on the Faster Than Normal Podcast this week, opening up about his ADHD, talking all about how he's made his life the unbelievable success that it is, and how he's used his ADHD to his advantage.

Seth Godin! I mean, this man has done for the online world what Dr. Jonas Salk did for vaccines, and I'm not blowing smoke. Seth is known WORLDWIDE for his business acumen (he started Yoyodyne and sold it to Yahoo! for an estimated $30 million...) His books, including Purple Cow and Permission Marketing, and he blogs EVERY SINGLE DAY at sethgodin.typepad.com. He's been one of my heroes and idols forever, and I'm just so honored that he agreed to join us for what may be the most informative and inspiring interview I've done on FTN to date. I'm tremendously thankful to Seth for his time, energy, and passion that you'll no doubt hear from the first second of this interview to the last. Do enjoy!

In this episode, Peter and Seth discuss:

How Peter and Seth first met (03:16) Seth's story (05:00) Narrative about ADHD - Hunters vs Farmers (06:55) Diagnosing kids and society that favors being the same (09:44) The concept of Big T and Little T (12:19) Elimination of choice (16:33) Shame around having ADHD (17:20) Seth's daily rituals (19:02) Triggers and will power (20:56) Advice for those who don't think they can change their lives (24:23) Links/Mentions

I'll be honest... When a dentist reached out to me and said he should be on the podcast, I didn't really get it. But then, I talked to Dr. Roger Lucas. Not only is he using ADHD to make his practice one of the top practices in his area, but he's also learned a thing or two about running a business, being married with ADHD, managing people, and yes - even how what you eat, and how you take care of your teeth, affects your ADD and ADHD. You're not going to want to miss this episode - Especially when we talk about Coffee and Methyl-B12 Vitamins!

In this episode, Peter and Roger discuss:

• Roger's background (1:29)
• About the book, eating chocolate and cavities (2:22)
• Techniques for writing a book (4:11)
• Being diagnosed with ADHD (7:33)
• Top tips for running a business (10:12)
• Personality tests (12:25)
• Tips & Tricks for managing people (18:57)
• Coffee & B12 (21:02)
