Episodes
How to Choose Between Too Many Good Ideas
You've got too many good ideas and no way to tell which one the market actually wants, and that's exactly the theme that came up most when Steve surveyed 60 ADHD entrepreneurs last month.Steve ran a live Game Plan Session and had attendees fill out an assessment beforehand on what's actually blocking them in their business. The biggest theme, by far: too many directions, too many good ideas, and n
Hitting the ADHD Wall: The Hidden Casualty
You spent years succeeding on energy, interest, and effort alone. Then you hit a wall, and what you lost wasn't just your output. It was your trust in yourself.Steve digs into something he thinks doesn't get acknowledged enough in late-diagnosed ADHD entrepreneurs. Before diagnosis, most people succeed anyway, working harder than everyone around them without knowing why. Then midlife arrives, some
The ADHD Urgency Trap
Your ADHD brain thinks every idea deserves to happen right now, and that's exactly what makes deciding what to work on so hard.This week Steve breaks down why deciding, one of the three core challenges for ADHD entrepreneurs alongside doing and sustaining, is so cognitively expensive. ADHD brains don't rank ideas, they flatten them: everything feels equally urgent and equally important, all at onc

Twice Exceptional, Twice As Hard: ADHD and Business
Steve wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until 54, which means he's still running into terms he would have qualified for decades earlier. This week's term is "twice exceptional," and it explains something a lot of late-diagnosed ADHD entrepreneurs will recognize: the same brain that built your early success can quietly turn into your biggest obstacle.Steve unpacks a recent conversation with a late-diagnos
The Project I Loved Is Dead to Me: An ADHD Entrepreneur's Guide Back In
You were all in on this project. Then life happened, and now your brain wants nothing to do with it.This week on ADHD Entrepreneur Accelerator, Steve digs into a pattern he's heard from entrepreneur after entrepreneur lately: hyperfocused on a project, pulled away by a health crisis or a client emergency, and when they finally circle back, the excitement is just gone. Steve breaks down why that ha
ADHD Zen - The Teapot That Never Stops Pouring
This episode is a little different.There's an old Zen story about a professor who visits a Zen master to learn about Zen. The master pours him tea - and keeps pouring after the cup is full. "Your mind is like this cup," the master says. "How can I teach you unless you first empty it?"For ADHD entrepreneurs, Steve argues, the teapot never stops pouring. New ideas, shiny business models, worries, si
Quiet Quitting: Why ADHD Entrepreneurs Abandon What's Working
Steve unpacks "quiet quitting" — the ADHD habit of walking away from campaigns and systems that are actually working — and shares the ritual that fixes it.In this episode, Steve covers:Why ADHD brains mistake "not novel" for "not working," and how that costs consistency in a business that rewards repeating what works.How Inevitable Drift shows up — losing sight of your Magnetic North, getting knoc
The ADHD Business Time Trap Progress (And How to Escape It)
ADHD brains have four time zones: now, not now, never, and forever. That's time blindness - and it's why so many ADHD entrepreneurs struggle to turn big ideas into steady progress.In this episode, Steve shares Monthly Quests: the framework members of the ADHD Entrepreneur Accelerator (AEX) use to zoom out from the week, stay tied to their bigger vision, and build momentum that compounds every mont
The ADHD Procrastination Tax (And how to beat it)
In this episode, Steve breaks down the ADHD procrastination tax — the real cost, in money, time, and quality of life, of the shiny-object detours and distraction spirals that eat into work that should take a fraction of the time.Steve walks through a real example from his Focus Formula coaching cohort: a fractional consultant with three solid, well-paying clients whose work should only take 12 day
Diagnosed with ADHD at 54: What I Wish I'd Known Sooner
Late diagnosed ADHD entrepreneur? Steve shares his own diagnosis story — decades of unexplained struggle, a career that looked like chaos from the outside, and finally understanding his ADHD brain at age 54.In this episode, Steve goes back to the beginning of his own ADHD journey — from a career he used to joke had "career ADD," through a successful exit, corporate burnout, and building a coaching

Ep. 97 Why Having ADHD Doesn't Make You A Great Entrepreneur
I've been a bit hesitant to push send on this one.
You see, there's been a number of research studies* showing that ADHD brains are, depending on the study, between 2x and 5x more likely to become entrepreneurs.
I often cite this research in things I put out in my content. But there's one question that I consistently get back, that deserves an answer:
