Peter Shankman is an entrepreneur, author, speaker and the host of the Faster Than Normal podcast about ADHD.
Most men with ADHD hear it called a superpower, but the reality is far more complicated. Peter reveals the brutal truth about living with ADHD - the moments when you think you're crushing it only to realize you've completely missed the mark, the imposter syndrome that never fully goes away, and why he'd be dead without therapy. This conversation goes beyond the highlight reel to explore what it actually takes to manage an ADHD brain while building companies, maintaining relationships, and raising a daughter.
Expect to learn why feeling broken never fully disappears even after diagnosis, how extreme activities like Ironman triathlons became a way to prove self-worth, the difference between ADHD as an excuse versus a reality to manage, why Peter believes everyone should be in therapy, how to make decisions that your future self will thank you for, what to tell your 12-year-old self who feels like an outsider, why medication alone isn't the answer without therapeutic skills, how to break negative cycles before they compound into weeks of poor choices and much more.
