    Having ADD or ADHD is a gift, not a curse. Hear from people all around the globe, from every walk of life, in every profession, from Rock Stars to CEOs, from Teachers to Politicians, who have learned how to unlock the gifts of their ADD and ADHD diagnosis, and use it to their personal and professional advantage, to build businesses, become millionaires, or simply better their lives.

    Today we are so happy to have Cynthia Murray join us! She’s the Founder + Recipe Developer of 4Legz Dog Treats! So, she was born deaf. From an early age she found deep connection and comfort with animals, especially dogs. Over the years, she began rescuing deaf dogs and realized just how much love, loyalty, and understanding they offer, often without a single sound. They became her inspiration. Frustrated by the lack of healthy, transparent dog treats, she started baking her own using only human-grade, organic ingredients. She knew her furry family members deserved better—treats that were simple, safe, and made with love. And that’s how 4Legz was born.

    In 2025, her company is so much more than just a happy dog treats company. 4Legz is rooted in purpose. They support animal rescues and are committed to creating inclusive employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. -As someone who has navigated life with a disability, she understands how powerful it is to be included, empowered, and seen. Every bag of 4Legz treats represents more than quality ingredients—it stands for health, compassion, and change. When you support 4Legz, you're not just giving your dog something wholesome and delicious—you're helping build a more inclusive and caring world. Enjoy!

  • Success Routines, Tech, Sleep Hacks and Neurodiversity: Maya Salwen on Thriving in Corporate Life
    2025/05/28
    Having ADD or ADHD is a gift, not a curse. Hear from people all around the globe, from every walk of life, in every profession, from Rock Stars to CEOs, from Teachers to Politicians, who have learned how to unlock the gifts of their ADD and ADHD diagnosis, and use it to their personal and professional advantage, to build businesses, become millionaires, or simply better their lives. Our guest today, Maya Salwen is a transformation consultant at Accenture where she helps organizations navigate complex change. She’s also spent the past few years on a personal transformation journey, leveraging a range of tools to grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Maya has found the systems that keep her grounded in the chaos of Work life and Mom life—something she’s learned to navigate as a neurodivergent adult, living with ADHD and aphantasia (a condition where the mind’s eye can’t visualize images). She’s also overcome challenges related to depression and hyper-somnia, a chronic sleep disorder, building a life that supports her energy, focus, and well-being. She lives in New York City with her husband, their two sons, a dog, and loves connecting with others who are building lives that work on their own terms. Enjoy!
