  Why is research into neurodivergent entrepreneurs important?

  Aug 5, 202654 minS2

  Why is research into neurodivergent entrepreneurs important? What if the experiences of neurodivergent entrepreneurs are shaping the economy, but their neurodivergent experiences are barely appearing in the research used to shape decisions?In this episode, I talk to researcher Lucy Griffiths about what it's actually like to build and run a business as a neurodivergent person — and why qualitative research, the kind that captures lived experience rather than just statistics, matters for business support, funding, education and public policy.We talk about the stories hidden behind the statistics, the myth of the "neurodivergent superpower," why late autism and ADHD diagnosis is so common in entrepreneurs, and how research like Lucy's could genuinely influence the systems that are supposed to support us.

  Late ADHD Diagnosis, Identity & Entrepreneurship

  Jun 10, 202656 minS2

  What happens after a late ADHD diagnosis, when the name finally makes sense, but the life around you still feels like it was built for someone else?In this episode of Even The Dog Has ADHD, I’m joined by my business coach and friend, Shari Teigman, for a conversation about ADHD identity, diagnosis, neurodivergence, entrepreneurship, faith, burnout, menopause, community and the labels we use to understand ourselves.We talk about the relief of finally having language for your struggles, the danger of turning diagnosis into another box, and what happens when the version of you that once coped, performed and adapted can no longer carry the whole structure.Shari brings her maverick approach to life and business, including the ideas behind her book The Maverick Way, and we explore what it means to hear your own beat more clearly than the noise around you.This conversation is for adults exploring ADHD, autism, AuDHD, late diagnosis, self-understanding, entrepreneurship, faith, burnout, identity, menopause and the complicated work of becoming more fully yourself, without turning yourself into another project.We also explore:Late ADHD diagnosis and the validation that can come with itWhy labels can help, but can also become limitingADHD, autism, AuDHD and identity after diagnosisNeurodivergent entrepreneurship and the pressure to keep evolvingBurnout, masking, performance and self-protectionFaith, community and belongingMenopause, midlife and the changing sense of selfShari’s maverick approach to business, life and creative leadershipAt the heart of this episode is a simple idea: diagnosis can give us language, but it does not have to become a cage.
