Is Modern ADHD a Crisis of Environment? An Exploration of Attention in the Digital Age
I confess to having been sceptical about the rising ADHD diagnoses, suspecting it to be a fad. However, after watching people describe their everyday distractions, my view shifted. The explosion of ADHD-like behaviours seems more about the environment we've created rather than individual faults. This episode explores whether our digital society is an attentional pathogen, meticulously designed to fragment our focus for profit. We debate two paths: whether this crisis is a tragic accident or a deliberate byproduct of the attention economy. We also contemplate two possible responses—personal monasticism and public reform. I challenge you to rethink how we manage our attention and the future direction we want to take.

(Embracing Total Engagement: Overcoming Life's Hesitations) –
In this episode, David Elikwu explains the pervasive state of hesitation many people experience in life. Drawing upon philosophers Henry David Thoreau and Soren Kierkegaard, David explores the concept of living in a foggy state of quiet desperation, paralysed by the fear of finality and the countless possibilities life offers. He discusses the modern parallel of FOMO (fear of missing out), and how this keeps people from fully committing to their choices. David suggests a vow of total engagement as the cure, advocating for complete dedication and passion in every action, much like a focused bonfire. He shares wisdom from Zen master Shunryu Suzuki and Michelangelo's approach to sculpting as metaphors for living a fully committed life. David challenges listeners to engage fully in one task today, emphasising the importance of closing the gap between potential and action to achieve inner integrity. David also promotes his book, 'Sovereign', and invites listeners to pre-order and attend upcoming events in London.

Going deep: The Battle Between Horizontal and Vertical Work
In this episode of 'The Knowledge,' host David Elikwu dives into the dichotomy between horizontal and vertical models of engaging with the world. Using Donald Knuth's drastic life decision to quit email in 1990 as a starting point, David explores the philosophical implications of being either on top of things or at the bottom. The episode draws on historical and contemporary examples, from ancient philosophies to modern neuroscience, and includes insights from notable figures like Isaac Newton and Leonardo da Vinci. David emphasises the value of deep, focused work versus the appeal of staying broadly informed and connected, ultimately challenging listeners to identify the one thing so compelling to them that it is worth digging deep for.

Hey, welcome back. I have missed you all. We took a bit of a break from the podcast for a month and a bit for a number of reasons. One of them is that I have been working on announcing a book that I've been writing for the past year called 'Sovereign'. It's out for pre-orders now at becomesovereign.com.
I've had tons of great feedback from advanced readers, and I’m excited to share it with you. I'm also thrilled to be back with the podcast. We have a great guest for this episode, Ed Latimore, and more exciting episodes to come.
Additionally, I plan to share more of the ideas from my newsletter, The Knowledge (https://theknowledge.io), directly with this podcast audience through one-on-one episodes. I've been writing my newsletter for half a decade, and it's time to share some of that content here. You can find me on Twitter at @Delikwu and other platforms under the same name. Looking forward to spending more time with you all.

David speaks with Sondre Rasch, Co-founder and CEO of SafetyWing, a global social safety net for remote workers and companies.
A natural entrepreneur, Sondre started selling server space in his early teens whilst playing MMORPGs. While most kids were focused on high school, at 14 he was already planning to build a Silicon Valley company, something he'd eventually do twice as a Y Combinator founder with Superside and later SafetyWing.
Sondre used his own problems as a digital nomad to create solutions that now help thousands of people who want the freedom to work from anywhere.
They talked about:
🏙️ Why cities are now competing for nomads
🌐 The Rise of Internet Countries
🌱 How Reddit Keeps Subcultures Alive
🚀 How work is becoming borderless, not just remote
🛡️ Building safety nets for nomads (SafetyWing)

David speaks with Neville Medhora, an expert copywriter, best-selling author of "This book will teach you how to write better", and founder of Copywriting Course and SwipeFile.com.
Neville never set out to be a copywriter - it just kind of happened. He started out messing around with online businesses with his friends in the 2000s, got hooked on findings ways to optimise sales, and realised that the right words could make people take action. In this episode, Neville shares some of his wildest experiments (including trying out homelessness) and his parents reaction, how he almost got himself and Noah Kagan in trouble with Mark Zuckerberg, and the opportunities that AI can bring you - if you are paying attention now.
We talked about:
🚀 How tackling challenges helps you grow in life and business
🧠 Why having unstructured time is key for big, creative ideas
🔄 Whether a truly stable career path even exists
💰 The power of taking risks and trying new things
🔍 How being transparent in marketing builds trust that lasts

David speaks with Rob Fitzpatrick, a well-storied entrepreneur, and writer. Author of three books, including The Mom Test and Write Useful Books, both of which are among the most universally recommended books for early founders and non-fiction writers.
We talked about his journey getting into YC in 2007, trying to build this business, pivoting mid-interview, and building a business that ultimately failed. He also talks about how he rose from the ashes and tried a bunch of different things.
And eventually built an agency that was making about a million dollars a year, and then the journey to the place where he is now, where he is taking a much slower and more deliberate approach, both to building businesses and also to writing.

Thomas is the founder of the College Info Geek, a blog to help you learn effectively, spend less time studying, and become more productive (even if you're not in college). He is also a Notion power-user, and creates tutorials and free Notion templates on the side.
We talked about his background and his story and everything that has come along with his path, about how to nurture your own creativity and how to channel it into producing a consistent body of work that has a lasting impact.
And so you're gonna hear us answering a bunch of questions like how do you find your passion? And how do you pick which projects to start? And then, how do you know when to quit? And how do you deal with success?

David speaks with Khe Hy, founder and CEO of RadReads, an online education company that helps professionals lead productive, examined, and joyful lives.
Creator of the $10K Work productivity method and teaches the popular cohort-based course Supercharge Your Productivity
We talked about philosophy and spirituality behind productivity, not just talking about what we should do and when we should do it, but also how and why.
You're gonna hear us talk about Telic and Atelic activities, activities that have intrinsic versus extrinsic value. The right type of goals and objectives to have in your life, but also the right kind of motivations to help drive those goals.
And we talk about the cost of success and when it is and is not worth paying the price that comes with high achievement. And Khe really goes deep on the question of what is a life well lived? And that's something he's been pursuing for himself, but also something that he calls all of us to pursue equally.

David speaks with JJ Bola, a published poet and author. Continuing from last week, their conversation touches on the impacts of stereotypes on black masculinity, the consequences of colonialism on cultural pride within ethnic communities.
This is the second episode of a 2-part series!
JJ Bola is a Congo-borne accomplished poet and author, having released 3 poetry collections (Elevate, Daughter of the Sun, and WORD) and 2 novels (No Place to Call Home, Mask Off) in the last 5 years. His latest novel, The Selfless Act of Breathing (2021), tackling themes such as mental health, police brutality, and the power of love, is out later this year!

Show notes:
- The burden of successful black stereotypes, and the consequences of sexualisation
- The self-fulfilling prophecy of stereotypes
- Loss of cultural heritage and history (and the consequent replacement of taught racial history)
- Consequences of colonialism on history and heritage
- The recent realisation of cultural identity, and appreciation of cultural differences
- Impacts of colonialism on other ethnic communities
Quotes:
“it's a real conversation that we need to have amongst ourselves. But places like Twitter seems to be the only platform for it. And there's just not enough nuance like it's about popular voices, it's about retweets, it's about, you know hashtags.”
“I think the most powerful thing that we can do, I say like, as black people, is connect with our ancestral lineage, connect with our history is never by culture. That's the pathway to liberation that effort, like everything else, has been tried and tested, you know, and I think that the further that we get along, we can talk about, you know representation in, in, in society, but as long as the society remains white supremacist materialistic which is like. It's not going to liberate us, but the more we are traditionally tied to our ancestral values.”
“you're gonna learn about this culture you're going to embrace it in a very different way. And I think that's something I would love to see more within our community as well, maybe not just even from Africa, but I guess Pan African as well I'm looking around the diaspora and we can embrace each other. I'm looking at how we can find that collective identity.”
