He's the casino director with a gambling addiction, and these are the house rules that stopped it frying his brain. Florian "Flo" Pariset is the founder of Notis, a bootstrapped, profitable AI company he runs as a team of one against a rival backed by a $75M Series A. He was diagnosed with ADHD after that burnout, and now builds Notis as "the AI that does the work your brain refuses to". He explains: • Why AI is crack cocaine for ADHD brains, and the loop that keeps you building all night • What an AI comedown is, and how every hit drags your baseline a little lower • Why so many early AI adopters have ADHD, and why "it's for work" is the perfect cover • How running ten agents at once trains your brain to context switch with your family too • The three ways he uses AI that make ADHD easier, starting with the software you dread • Why the gym and cold plunges went from optional to mandatory once he worked with AI all day • He opens up about his first day on medication, and finally enjoying a coffee with his wife and son Timestamps: (00:00:00) Bootstrapped Against A $75M Competitor (00:00:19) Diagnosed At The Start Of Last Summer (00:01:22) Zero Out Of Twenty At School (00:03:57) Expert In Everything, Then Bored (00:05:31) Collecting Skills Like Pokémon Cards (00:07:28) Sixteen Hour Days And A Burnout (00:10:59) Why He Never Thought It Was ADHD (00:12:56) The First Day On Medication (00:16:58) A Ferrari Brain With Bicycle Brakes (00:18:23) Hooked On AI, Not Hyperfocus (00:24:28) Walking Next To Your Own Life (00:26:00) The Interest Driven Nervous System (00:28:21) AI Is Crack Cocaine For ADHD Brains (00:33:34) The AI Comedown (00:34:31) Why ADHD Founders Got Hooked On AI First (00:36:32) The Excuse Nobody Questions (00:38:21) Using AI Without Getting Hooked (00:44:03) The Casino Director With A Gambling Addiction (00:45:05) Why Life Outside Work Is Now Mandatory (00:52:46) Training Your Brain To Be More ADHD (00:54:51) Can AI Give You ADHD Symptoms?

    ADHD Founders: Set Your Goals Backwards | Ep 162

    Send us Fan Mail Your business is growing, the money is going up, and you still catch yourself asking why you're doing any of it. Straight off a coaching call with a client who couldn't picture her future, Jack breaks down why so many ADHD founders get stuck in that loop, and why the usual way of setting long-term goals keeps them there. The way out starts with a question most of us can answer in seconds: what don't you want? Jack explains: • Why a heads-down sprint ends in "why am I doing this?" every time you come up for air • Startup syndrome, and what's missing when you keep tearing things down to start again • Why the version of you from two years ago is the wrong person to set today's goals • The North Star built on how you want to feel, with concrete goals kept to short four-week hunts • The "don't want" list, and how flipping it tells you what you do want • The satnav rule: pick the destination and let the route change 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/

    My Psychologist Quit After One Session (on Changing Lanes w/ Harvey Holt) | Ep 160

    Send us Fan Mail Jack Taylor knew exactly how to build a six figure business, and for years he couldn't get his own past the same ceiling. He had buyers sitting in his DMs waiting for a reply, and he spent the day building a spreadsheet to manage them while they went cold. Then his mum and his fiancée laughed over dinner that he'd obviously got something, and when the official diagnosis finally came, it changed nothing at all. This week Jack is the guest. Harvey Holt, who started out as a personal trainer too, had him on his podcast Changing Lanes and took him through the whole story. Jack is the founder of The Hunter Brain and the host of The ADHD Entrepreneur. He left school early, built a private training studio that was running 40 to 50 sessions a week until Covid closed it overnight, took an online fitness business to just under six figures, and then shut it down on Christmas Eve 2024 to work out how his own brain worked. He now helps founders with this brain type build their businesses around it. He explains: • Why he looks at ADHD as human variation, in the same way some people need glasses or factor fifty • The chaos ceiling, and why so many ADHD founders fly in the start up phase and then stall • How he burned leads sitting in his DMs while building a spreadsheet to manage them • Why his official diagnosis changed nothing, and what actually changed his life • Why seven figure founders push back on ADHD but put their hand up for the Hunter Brain • Why he never sets yearly goals, and the two week hunt that made one client £28,800 • He opens up about the partying that ended in an overdose, and the years he calls circumstantially depressed Timestamps: (00:00:00) What If You Were Never Broken? (00:01:45) What Sun Cream And Glasses Teach You About ADHD (00:03:27) Why Different Always Gets Filed Under Bad (00:07:21) Growing Up Broke After Dad's Covent Garden Days (00:08:22) The Moment He Realised He Was Interest Driven (00:09:56) Covid Took His Studio Overnight (00:11:01) The Chaos Ceiling Every ADHD Founder Hits (00:12:01) The Dinner Where His Mum And Fiancée Called It (00:16:12) Twelve Weekends Of Raving And An Overdose (00:17:20) Burning Leads To Build A Spreadsheet For Them (00:18:08) The Operational Whiplash That Stops Anything Compounding (00:20:12) Why Every New Strategy Sends You Back To Start Up (00:22:07) The Psychologist Who Quit After One Session (00:23:32) Why The Diagnosis Changed Nothing (00:26:31) Where The Hunter Brain Idea Came From (00:29:10) Why Founders Say No To ADHD And Yes To Hunter Brain (00:33:49) Why ADHD Is No Excuse To Be A D******d (00:36:15) The Diagnosis Test Written For A Seven Year Old (00:38:33) The Years He Was Circumstantially Depressed (00:43:45) Why Scattered Brains Build Scattered Businesses (00:44:59) The Morning Routine That Leaves You Exhausted (00:49:30) How Body Doubling Kills Friction (00:52:08) Why Moving Daily Is Non Negotiable (00:52:49) Why He Doesn't Set Yearly Goals (00:53:39) The Two Week Hunt That Made A Client £28,800 (00:57:57) What's Next: Richard Branson And The Boardroom Harvey Holt: • Changing Lanes on Spotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/6HNghsuZihxmxWwIsTfRXD • Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/changing.lanes__/ 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/
