    Dopamine Expert: ADHD Hyperfocus Can Be Switched On (w/ Dr Chris Lee) | Ep 157

    Send us Fan Mail The good day arrives out of nowhere. Six hours vanish, the work gets done, and then it will not come back for three weeks. Dr Chris Lee has spent ten years working out what actually fires that state, and he says it is never random. The trigger is usually the most boring thing in your house. Dr Chris Lee is the founder of Elemental Shift, a neuroscience led consultancy, and he reaches a weekly audience of more than two million people. He coaches executives running billion dollar companies, though he only takes four one to one clients at a time. He studied biology, chemistry and environmental science at Siena Heights, took his doctorate in chiropractic at Life University, then trained in functional neurology at the Carrick Institute and in neuroscience at Duke, Peking University and Stanford, all of it after his own life came apart at 23. He is currently finishing a book on dopamine and how to stay in the driving seat of your own attention. He explains: * Why an ADHD brain runs on a lower background reserve of dopamine, and what that does to an ordinary Tuesday * The one minute plank he gives his ADHD CEOs before they sit down to work, and why it fires hyperfocus on demand * Why the thing that triggers your best day is almost always the boring task you did ten minutes earlier * Why masking around the wrong people flattens your motivation for days afterwards * How to run the week on three stretch days and two admin days, and who to hire on each side of it * What rest actually looks like, and why doom scrolling leaves you more depleted than the work did * He opens up about losing his dad to suicide at 23, finding out four months later that he was going to be a father, and why he calls it the worst and the best thing that has ever happened to him Timestamps: (00:00:00) The Dopamine Trigger Nobody Told You About (00:02:40) Ten Years Ago He Was Training To Be A Chiropractor (00:04:19) White Ceiling Syndrome And The Question At Night (00:04:46) Hit By A Car On The Way Home From School (00:05:45) The Phone Call About His Dad (00:06:01) The Worst Thing And The Best Thing (00:07:15) Four Months Later He Found Out He Was A Dad (00:08:03) You Would Die For Them, Would You Live For Them?

    Every ADHD Founder Has A £16,000 Blind Spot | Ep 155

    Send us Fan Mail One of my clients got on a call wanting to talk about a new service line he'd just tested. He'd made £1,500 in three days and he was buzzing. By the end of the hour we'd found £16,000 a month of profit sat in the business he already had, and the new service line was dead. The £16,000 came out of taking something away rather than adding anything to it. In this episode: Why a huge opportunity and a tiny one take up exactly the same space in your headThe maths problem you'd never attempt without a pen and paper, and why your business is the same problemThree reasons ADHD founders find it harder than anyone else to rank their own ideasThe mental RAM you drain by holding everything in your head, and what it costs your decisions                                                                                 Why the thing that pulls you off course is always a sensible idea that makes money Plus this week's question: I know exactly what to do and I still don't do it, why? This one leans on visuals. If you're listening rather than watching, the diagrams are on YouTube.

    Netflix Top Director: "My ADHD Went 20 Years Undiagnosed" (w/ Nick Shoolingin-Jordan) | Ep 153

    Send us Fan Mail Every ADHD founder gets told the same thing. Get organised, get disciplined, get a system. Nick Shoolingin-Jordan directed one of the biggest shows on the planet with none of that, and without knowing he had ADHD at all, and he says the thing that made the work possible is the same thing that nearly got him fired. Nick Shoolingin-Jordan is an Emmy nominated series director and a tech founder. He is the series director of The Dinosaurs, the four part Netflix series executive produced by Steven Spielberg, narrated by Morgan Freeman and made with Industrial Light and Magic, which went to number one in 70 countries and holds 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. He has also directed on Life on Our Planet, One Strange Rock and A Perfect Planet alongside Sir David Attenborough, and has founded Planet Lab Studios, whose AI platform George helps everyday investors make smarter decisions. He explains: • Why directing might be the perfect job for an ADHD brain, and how he splits a film into parts he can rotate through when his focus drops • Why starting the task is the hardest thing he does, and the trick he uses to get himself into it • Why rigid time blocking fails ADHD brains, and what he does instead • How he built a memory vault with AI to hold the short term memory he doesn't have • How his son's diagnosis explained his own brain at 50, and what changed after it • Why crews have read him as rude, and how close that has taken him to being fired • He opens up about the overwhelm nobody sees at the end of a shoot, and the one thing that always fixes it Timestamps: (00:00:00) Directing Netflix's No.1 Show Without The Manual (00:02:09) Why School Called Him A Space Cadet (00:06:03) Why Directing Is The Perfect ADHD Job (00:08:59) Starting Is The Hardest Part (00:09:24) Why Rigid Time Blocking Fails ADHD Brains (00:11:55) Working At 11pm And The Three Body Clocks (00:13:03) One Thing At A Time In A World Built To Distract (00:17:03) The Three Tasks That Actually Move You (00:18:55) What Working Memory Does To You (00:20:10) How To Trick Yourself Into Starting (00:23:26) Building A Memory Vault With AI (00:26:29) The App He's Building With Claude (00:28:28) Hiring Staff Who Aren't Even There (00:28:37) Our Brains Are Not Easy To Live With (00:29:48) The Scaffolding Every ADHD Founder Needs (00:30:29) How His Son's Diagnosis Explained His Life (00:34:21) What Actually Changed After The Diagnosis (00:37:53) The Dual Brain: ADHD Connects, Autism Obsesses (00:40:19) The Book That Made Him Feel Less Alone (00:41:25) The Overwhelm Nobody Sees On Set (00:43:16) The Only Cure For Overwhelm That Works (00:44:15) What He's Most Proud Of In 20 Years (00:45:41) What He'd Tell Himself 30 Years Ago (00:47:04) The Attenborough Habit Worth Stealing (00:48:00) Where To Find Nick Nick Shoolingin-Jordan: • tellthestory.tv — https://tellthestory.tv • LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickdirects • Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/nick_shoolingin_jordan/ • George AI, for everyday investors — https://mygeorge.ai • Planet Lab Studios — https://planetlabstudios.com Mentioned in this episode: • How Not to Fit In by Jess Joy and Charlotte Mills • Why Can't I Just Enjoy Anything by Pierre Novellie • Limitless by Jim Kwik The ADHD Entrepreneur: Get The Debrief, Jack's daily email for ADHD founders: thehunterbrain.com/debriefFollow Jack on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.jacktaylor/Watch more on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the.jacktaylorConnect with Jack on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hunterbrain/

    Choosing What To Work On When Everything Needs Fixing | 152

    Send us Fan Mail First one of these. A weekly series where I document building businesses around my ADHD brain, because when I went looking for this eight years into business it didn't exist. Everything I could find was about how to stop losing my keys. This week: the first family holiday I've had in ten years, and why that mattered more to me than the biggest revenue month I've ever done. Then The Goal by Eli Goldratt, and the thing I've been chewing on since, which is that your business has one goal and it isn't the same as yours. Then a question from a client who runs a manufacturing plant. Everything in his business felt like it needed fixing and he wanted to know how to choose what to work on. ASK ME A QUESTION I answer them every episode. Comment under the video on YouTube, message me on Instagram, or email jack@thehunterbrain.com.

    Send us Fan Mail Owen Redman raised just under £1.2M for his student housing startup Roome, straight out of uni, with ADHD and autism.  We get into how a brain wired to chase every shiny idea actually builds one focused business. Why business feels like a drug, how he runs his life on systems, and the constraint that killed the chaos.  If your business runs on your energy, and your energy's all over the place, start here.
