Jack Tisson: Why Shaun Created a Character & Mindset to Rethink Work & Neurodivergence

Working to Work

What if you created a character to make sense of your own struggles?

That’s exactly what Shaun did. He created Jack Tisson—a character through which he explores the root causes of the challenges he’s faced in life and how that understanding informs a more constructive approach to shaping the future he wants.

In this conversation, we discuss:

🔹 The experiences that led Shaun to create Jack Tisson

🔹 Why some people struggle to find stability in work and society

🔹 The tension between accountability and external barriers

🔹 What needs to change—on both an individual and societal level—for people to build lives that truly work for them

Shaun’s perspective is both personal and reflective, offering insight, challenge, and encouragement to those who feel stuck.
