Manage episode 490225865 series 2903598
In this bite-sized Mentor Moment, DC Cahalane shares how a late diagnosis of ADHD transformed his understanding of himself — and his work. From battling procrastination to embracing what he once saw as flaws, DC opens up about the mental health rollercoaster that led to a powerful realization: ADHD wasn’t a limitation, it was a lens.
He unpacks why traditional productivity hacks failed him, how understanding brain chemistry changed everything, and why every founder — diagnosed or not — should read Faster Than Normal.
💡 A must-listen for anyone navigating self-doubt, burnout, or that feeling of being “all or nothing.” This is your reminder that the way your brain works might just be your superpower.
