Once I stopped caring what other people thought of me, life became a lot easier.
Ever wondered how someone can turn ADHD into a unique advantage? Peter Shankman, a five-time bestselling author, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker, shares his journey on The Funky Brain Business Podcast with Dennis Berry. Shankman opens up about his experiences with ADHD and addiction, offering a fresh perspective on how neurodiverse thinking can be a powerful asset in both business and life. His story is a compelling mix of personal struggles and professional triumphs that will leave you inspired.
Shankman’s entrepreneurial ventures are nothing short of impressive. He founded HARO (Help A Reporter Out), which connects journalists with experts, and The ShankMinds Breakthrough Network, an online mastermind group for thought leaders and business experts. His podcast, Faster Than Normal, is the top show for people with ADHD, helping thousands see their neurodivergent brains as gifts rather than curses. In this episode, Shankman discusses the concept of 'high bottoms' and 'low bottoms' in addiction recovery.
He explains that 'high bottoms' are those who recognize their problem before hitting rock bottom, while 'low bottoms' have already lost everything. This idea can be a game-changer for anyone struggling with addiction, offering hope that change is possible before things get dire. One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation is Shankman’s take on neurodiverse thinking. He believes that people with ADHD have unique strengths and perspectives that can lead to success if harnessed correctly.
His own career is a testament to this belief, showing that thinking differently can indeed be an advantage. Shankman also emphasizes the importance of execution in achieving goals. Having a great idea is just the beginning; the real challenge lies in executing that idea effectively. His advice? Make a plan and stick to it. It’s this relentless focus on execution that has driven his success. Lastly, Shankman touches on the benefits of various types of meditation.
From exercise to guided meditation, he encourages listeners to find what works best for them and make it a regular practice. This holistic approach to mental well-being complements his business strategies, offering a balanced path to success. Tune in to hear Peter Shankman’s insights on leveraging ADHD for success and gain valuable tips on neurodiverse thinking, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.
