This hit home : founder brain is real, but so is the need for a backbone. Love how you frame it with care, not criticism.

Lots of insights here, Katie! Several founders and entrepreneurs I’ve interviewed realised a bit later in life they have ADHD, but they told me they used it as their superpower rather than a weakness.

I’ve also compiled some of their thoughts here: https://millennialmasters.net/p/adhd-superpower

Thanks for sharing! I totally agree it can be their superpower. I think odds of it being a weakness go down even more if they have someone in their corner who can help amplify it or calm it when it’s the right time.

Ah Katie, never a truer word spoken. Those wheels do spin and often. You put it wonderfully, and as someone who has also witnessed it first hand - I chuckled 🙂

Haha Thanks, Peggy, glad it hit for you! I figured after I kept hearing it time and again, there was something to it.
