In this podcast, we talk with David Greenwood, author of the book, Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with Adult ADHD. David interviewed many successful entrepreneurs with ADHD around the country and shared their stories. From growing up with ADHD, how they built their companies to the strategies they use to stay focused and productive.

David talks about why he wrote the book and why it needed to be written. Chris Paul and David discuss what some of the major takeaways from the interviews were including the myth that having ADHD is all negative.

Chris, Paul and David also discuss how those who are prone to distractions can maximize the time that they have, use focus time and even hyperfocus to get large projects completed and techniques to keep the distractions to a minimum.
