In this episode, Bill talks with his dear friend, Podcaster, Engineer, and Entrepreneur André Brisson, about how he will go on a month-long sabbatical and why it’s important to do so. They also talk about André’s hobbies and passion and how he takes care of himself by taking time to do them. André also encourages everyone to take that break from work to do the things they love.
André Brisson, P. Eng., is the host of The Impulsive Thinker Podcast, the podcast for the high-achieving ADHD entrepreneur. Andre owns an entrepreneurial consulting engineering company and recently started Tactical Breakthroughs, where he is developing the ADHD Transformation Journey program. Diagnosed late in life with severe ADHD and mild Asperger’s (ASD), the mechanisms and systems he created to overcome his undiagnosed ADHD have helped him succeed. He credits his undiagnosed ADHD as the key to his success and a factor in restricting success. Since discovering how to turn his ADHD into a strength, people have sought him out for help with using their ADHD as a strength to drive success. André Brisson has a special ability in devouring and learning complex information and simplifying it for others to solve complex problems. Like most entrepreneurs, André has started multiple companies, two of which failed for various reasons. Learning from those failures, André now operates three very successful companies, including a self-managing entrepreneurial engineering firm specializing in niche markets that require unique training, experience, and impulsive instinct to try new things.
