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.

For any business owner with ADHD, that can make it especially painful when someone copies your work, sells a counterfeit, or makes you question the value of what you created. In this episode of the ADHD-ish podcast, host Diann Wingert is joined by Dani Donovan to talk about what she learned after building The Anti-Planner and dealing head-on with copycats, counterfeiters, and intellectual property theft. ‍EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TIMESTAMPS: 03:10 - The Anti-Planner and Dealing With Copycats 07:00 - How the Anti-Planner Became a Viral Product 14:00 - The Reality of Intellectual Property Theft 21:00 - Counterfeiters and Protecting Your Business 28:00 - Copyrights, Trademarks, and Creative Work 35:00 - Why Successful Brands Target Counterfeiters 42:00 - Perfectionism and Valuing Your Creative Work 49:00 - Lessons on Building and Protecting a Unique Brand Key takeaways for fellow creators and founders: ‍ Protect Your IP Early - Dani Donovan’s story underscores the importance of copyrighting your content and considering trademarks before you reach mass awareness—even an overseas copyright or trademark if necessary.
