It's hard because most business advice wasn't built for your brain. Many entrepreneurs with ADHD try to solve business challenges with more productivity hacks, stricter routines, or systems they can never quite sustain. Others keep chasing new ideas, opportunities, and strategies, hoping the next one will finally make everything click. The result? More cognitive load, more unfinished projects, more decision fatigue, and often more burnout. ADHD-ish™ is the podcast about ADHD business strategy for business owners with ADHD who want to grow a successful company without forcing themselves to think, work, or lead like everyone else. Each episode explores the real-world challenges of running a business with ADHD, including ADHD business growth, delegation and accountability, decision-making, executive function in business, burnout prevention, leadership, and building business systems that actually work for your brain. You'll hear practical strategies, honest conversations, personal stories, and expert insights designed to help you make better decisions, follow through on what matters most, and create sustainable success…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T02:20:24.574197+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959"},"episode":{"title":"ADHD & The Lifetime Legacy of Bullying with Brooke Schnittman","slug":"adhd-the-lifetime-legacy-of-bullying-with-brooke-schnittman","published_at":"2026-03-31T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959/adhd-the-lifetime-legacy-of-bullying-with-brooke-schnittman","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-ish-1242959","url":"https://adhd-ish.captivate.fm/episode/beyond-the-playground-adhd-the-lasting-impact-of-bullying","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/0064332d-88f3-41b0-9efa-c4fae25f3cfb.mp3","summary":"Past experiences with bullying and social exclusion leave lingering marks that often bleed directly into how neurodivergent founders run their companies. When unaddressed childhood conditioning drives people-pleasing, boundary erosion, or severe rejection sensitivity, running a business becomes emotionally exhausting rather than empowering. Unpacking these hidden patterns allows an ADHD entrepreneur to step into confident, grounded leadership. Integrating supportive ADHD business coaching tools alongside strong business systems helps protect emotional capacity, enforce firm professional boundaries, and drive sustainable growth.
