ADHD Nerds Jesse J. Anderson

Hey, welcome to the show. I wanted to tell you right off the top, I'm going to be taking a break from ADHD Nerds. I'm basically going to call the episodes I've done so far, Season One. And then now I'm going to be taking an extended break.

This is episode 18. And today I'm talking with Ryan Mayer. Ryan is an ADHD coach on a mission to empower ADHDers toward their greatness. And you may know him from his videos on TikToK or Instagram where he has over half a million followers. Today, we talk about his struggles working in corporate America and how that eventually led him to becoming an ADHD coach. We also dive into what ADHD coaching is and how it can help you.

On today's episode, I talk with my friend, Rich Burroughs. Rich is a fellow nerd who is the Staff Developer Advocate at Loft Labs, and also is the creator of Kube Cuddle, a podcast about Kubernetes and the people who build and use it. Rich and I both did some ADHD coach training together last year, and we talk a bit more about that in today's episode, as well as what it's like working in the tech industry with ADHD.

This is episode 16. And today I'm talking with Brittany Hochstetler. Brittany is an ADHD Brain Health Coach, cohost of the Brain Health Journey podcast, and a homeschooling mom of three. Today we talk about people pleasing, what it's like raising ADHD kids with more knowledge than our parents had, and a whole lot more.

This is episode 15 and today I'm talking with Lindsay Guentzel. Lindsay is an award-winning, albeit job-hopping, TV and radio journalist and producer. Since her own diagnosis in early 2021, Lindsay has made ADHD her latest hyperfocus and hosts the Refocused podcast. Today, we talk about her experience working in media and entertainment with ADHD, as well as how to cope when reality doesn't line up with our intentions and our expectations. You're not going to want to miss it.

This is episode 14. And today I'm talking with Dr. Tish Gentile. Tish is an ADHD advocate, mentor, and has worked in healthcare for over 20 years. She currently works as a learning and development consultant at a research medical institute in New England. Today we talk about how she was diagnosed with adhd at a young age, her experience in special education, and her more recent diagnosis of autism. Plus, we cover how you should prepare for seeking diagnosis and what you need to do to advocate for yourself. You won't want to miss it.
