Dr. Umesh Jain is a distinguished Canadian psychiatrist whose career has been defined by his pioneering contributions to the field of adult ADHD. Beginning his journey in medical school in Canada and then honing his clinical skills in the United States with a residency and fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Jain soon realized his passion lay in research rather than clinical practice. After returning to Canada, he dedicated 27 years to the esteemed Clark Institute of Psychiatry, later known as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and worked at Sick Kids Hospital. In 1996, he established Canada's first research-based adult ADHD program, introducing groundbreaking advancements in the treatment and understanding of the disorder at a time when the recognition of adult ADHD was in its infancy, following its inclusion in the DSM-4 just two years prior.

Dr. Jain is celebrated for his pivotal role in validating the persistence of ADHD into adulthood, a concept only recently accepted in the broader medical community since 1989, owing to the work of Lee Heckman and Gabrielle Weiss. Through his unwavering commitment to research and innovation, Dr. Jain has made a lasting impact on mental health care and the lives of individuals with ADHD.

This week, André the Impulsive Thinker interviewed Nick Sonnenberg, author of "Come Up For Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems and Tools to Stop Drowning in Work." The book provides a CPR framework - communication, planning, resources - for using technology to increase team efficiency.

André explains how the book gave him the clarity to stop rigidly seeking one software to run his engineering business. Different environments warrant different apps aligned to that environment's purpose. For example, Outlook for external communication, Teams for internal non-project talk, and project management software for work tasks. This prevents distraction and makes info easy to find rather than a 'scavenger hunt'.

Implementing CPR has already reduced Andre's team's emails by 60% in weeks. Sonnenberg's book provides practical direction on leveraging systems to control environments, reduce distractions, and stop repetitive unproductive work.

Key takeaways:

· Use different apps for different environments and purposes

· Align communication, planning, and resources to each environment

· Reduce "scavenger hunts" for information

· Increase team efficiency with strategic systems

Get the book "Come Up For Air" and implement CPR to help your team focus and leverage systems. What has worked for your team? Let us know!

The Impulsive Thinker, host André Brisson, reflects on a conversation with former NFL player Josh Martin about personal branding. Andre explains how professional athletes must view themselves as individual brands that provide value, similar to entrepreneurs.

Branding begins on day one and is critical for communicating your purpose and values. Andre discusses his own recent experience developing a brand statement for his podcast and speaking engagements. He notes that many entrepreneurs focus on branding later in their careers when trying to build a platform. However, Andre argues that branding should start when you begin your first project or company.

Your personal reputation and brand are what attract that initial client. The company name is just who they write the check to. Over time, it's your personal brand that leads to recurring business, even if you eventually sell your company, as evidenced by Andre's accountant friend.

Andre encourages entrepreneurs to define their brand early on through their values, behaviours, and purpose. This leads to better communication, sales, decision-making and overall outcomes. While it's never too late to clarify your brand, doing so earlier allows you to leverage it fully throughout your career.

Listen to the full episode for more of Andre's thoughts on personal branding and how it empowers entrepreneurs to confidently share their unique talents and gifts.

Welcome to "The Impulsive Thinker," the podcast dedicated to empowering ADHD entrepreneurs in their journey toward personal and professional growth. In this insightful episode, we're joined by Josh Martin, a former NFL linebacker turned successful entrepreneur.

Josh Martin shares his journey transitioning from professional football to entrepreneurship. After 7 seasons in the NFL, injuries ended Martin's career in 2019. During his playing days, he took business courses to prepare for life after football. Upon retiring, Martin prioritized his mental health and relationships before exploring new opportunities. A friend presented the chance to open Smoothie King franchises in fitness-focused Colorado. This aligned with Martin's health values, so he relocated and brought in his sister to launch their first location after a year of preparation.

Now open for 6 months, the store is exceeding expectations through aggressive community engagement tactics Martin likens to "recovering kicks" in football. He credits his undrafted status for instilling a mentality of constantly proving his worth and betting on himself, which helps as an entrepreneur. While difficult, Martin tried to take charge of the transition process and use it as a catalyst for growth. He recommends others do the same to strengthen themselves during life's transitions.

· Using transition as a tool. You're not letting it just happen to you. You're using it as a catalyst for transformation.

· You might get knocked down. But that transition is a chance for you to stand back up again. And when you're in that act of standing up one more time, you're that much stronger.

· Preparing your mind theoretically to do X, Y, and Z, and actually being kind of thrust out into the world and forced to do something are two different things.

In summary, Josh Martin emphasizes using transitions as opportunities for growth and taking action, betting on yourself, and the importance of mental preparation and community. His quotes highlight the challenges and mindset involved in transitions both in sports and business. You can check out Josh’s podcast here.

Dr. J. Russell (Russ) Ramsay, www.cbt4adhd.com, is back to discuss how for the best results, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) has to be modified for ADHD. The modification has to do with executive function (EF) workarounds.

· CBT is about thoughts, affecting feelings and then determining a behavior (endless cycle).

· When you have a negative thought, CBT teaches you to Catch it, Check it, and Change it.

· Modified CBT understands that EF causes certain thoughts to occur and are not initially negative thoughts, a result of poor EF.

Kenny Handelman, psychiatrist and Founder at The Centre of Integrative Mental Health, discusses how ADHD and Bipolar co-exist (comorbidity). Bipolar disorder has similar symptoms to ADHD, and we discuss the differences and similarities.

· ADHD impairments are traditionally compared to the general public, not compared to our abilities.

· Manic episodes are euphoric or irritable, and Depressive episodes are low depression-type symptoms.

· Bipolar episodes can last weeks or months and cycle between the different moods. Not daily shifts.

Dave Sanderson, President of Dave Sanderson Speaks International, discusses PTG, Post Traumatic Growth and how asking a different question after a traumatic event helped transform his trauma into personal growth.

• · See things as they are by not attaching emotion to the meaning.
• · Talking about it, your trauma, telling your story gets it out of your body - you can impact others with your story.
• · You are alive and be happy.

This he learned when he reflected on the events that transpired during Airways Flight 1549 descent and ditching (crash, as the passengers would say) into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009.

· Doing less to execute value-building strategies.

· Building "exit" strategies to stop being a Technician and a Manager in our company and to be an Entrepreneur full-time!

· Shifting our mindset from "the business is my baby" to "the business is an asset" - it severs the emotional connection.

• Each type of leader has a different visioning method and different executing methods.
• Focus on what you don't want to do rather than what you want to do.
• We need more time to create.

· "I was stuck working hard TODAY and sacrificing TODAY for a better TOMORROW; with the belief the TOMORROW I envisioned will become TODAY - BUT - in reality TOMORROW never becomes TODAY because what is accomplished TODAY changes TOMORROW and because of this I was NEVER PRESENT TODAY."

Some thoughts in writing:

· Adjusting our goals, preferred outcomes, and deadlines regularly is OK - based on today's data!

· We have to look back and see the growth made to today.

· Feel like a failure.

As a follow-up to my discussion with Brittany Tucker in EP171, André discusses how the high-achieving ADHD entrepreneur has significantly suffered with society, friends, family, and co-workers' expectations, primarily when undiagnosed. Many "rules" were enforced on us all because of their wants and needs, and rules have nothing to do with our needs so we can fit in.

Kevin Budzey is a small businessperson that has worked in small companies and large corporate enterprises over the span of 36 years. He has always known "his place" was to be an owner of a business and put to work his entrepreneurial drive and spirit. When Kevin was 53, the company he worked for 11 years decided to trim their sales force and let him go along with other senior sales staff. Within a couple of months COVID began to rage while Kevin was contemplating his next move, and then the phone started ringing. It seemed only natural to help distributors having a hard time accessing pandemic supplies source them. His entrepreneurial spirit kicked into gear and a business was born!

Dan Duncan, an ADHD coach, discusses his ADHD Inside Out framework. The framework includes discussion of motivation and how the ADHD brain manages mental energy that affects our Executive Function abilities. He further clarifies how the ADHD brain in NOT internally responsive and HOW excellent our brain reacts to external stresses.

Dan was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 38. He is an ADHD coach with ADHD Inside Out, a consultant, and academic strategist. You can find him at www.adhdinsideout.com, email him at coach@adhdinside, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Key Points from this discussion:

• Outside view of ADHD is focusing on the symptoms and that is a trap
• Inside view deals with Motivation (free energy) and Determination (not free energy)
• Executive Functioning relies on mental energy
• External stress - our ADHD brains thrives, and we SHINE!
• Internal stress - our ADHD brains DO NOT respond and creates anxiety.

When we don’t plan, we have a hard time starting a project or tasks. We rarely start at the beginning – usually in the middle and all over the place – and this usually ends with getting little accomplished. Distractions are hard to ignore. I explain how I sat down and planned the day with a task list and prioritizing the tasks and work on one only and in the order I chose. This provided me to hyperfocus quicker and get tasks done – even though there was no possible way to complete the whole list!!!!
