In this episode of the ADHD Creative Club, Dave sits down with sports presenter and award-winning podcaster Dom Newton, who received his ADHD diagnosis in November 2023. Dom shares his raw and honest journey from being a "working-class lad from Bradford" to building a successful career in sports broadcasting, all powered by what he calls the "ADHD superpower."

In this episode, Dom discusses:

• The moment everything "flushed" from his brain before big interviews (and how he learned to manage it)
• Why ADHD people interrupt (and why it's not actually rude)
• How obsession with Blue Peter led to a career working with Alan Davies and the BBC
• The brutal reality of rejection sensitivity and online comments
• Why bullet-point research saved his career
• His journey from creating a passion project podcast to award-winning broadcaster
• The thing he's most excited (and nervous) about: trying ADHD medication
• Why he believes the creative industries are where ADHD brains truly thrive

Key Takeaways: 

• How to turn ADHD hyperfocus into career momentum 
• Practical strategies for managing short-term memory issues 
• Why finding "your thing" matters more than formal qualifications 
• The importance of opening up about neurodiversity (especially for men)

Whether you're a creative professional navigating ADHD, a business owner trying to understand your team better, or just curious about the neurodivergent experience, Dom's story will inspire you to lean into your obsessions and embrace your unique brain.
