ADHD isn’t just about distraction, it can also drive hyperfocus, risk-taking, and reinvention. In this episode, JL sits down with ADHD coach Jheri South, who shares her journey as a neurodivergent parent and professional, working with experts like Dr. William Dodson and guiding others to better understand their own brains.
They dive into why so many adults get missed, how medication can help or harm, and the framework that unlocks focus for ADHD minds. From rejection sensitivity to time blindness, stimulant culture in sales, and the surprising strengths ADHD brings to entrepreneurs, this conversation reframes ADHD as more than a diagnosis, it’s a playbook for success when managed the right way.
