    Ep 50 - Media Visibility and Entrepreneurship for Introverts and Neurodivergent Folks

    What if your different wiring isn't something to overcome—it's the foundation for building a business that actually works for you?For years, many neurodivergent professionals have spent enormous energy trying to decode unspoken workplace expectations, masking their natural tendencies, and wondering why traditional employment feels so exhausting. But what happens when we embrace the brains we've got instead of trying to mind-read what's expected of us, and start building businesses that work WITH our wiring instead of against it? In this milestone 50th episode of Thinkydoers, Sara sits down with serial entrepreneur Peter Shankman—creator of five startups with three exits, founder of Help a Reporter Out (now Source of Sources), and co-founder of Mental Capital Consulting. Peter shares his journey from spending decades believing something was wrong with him to building multiple successful companies powered by his ADHD brain. Whether you're a shy introvert wondering how to gain visibility, a neurodivergent professional considering entrepreneurship, or a leader trying to understand how to build truly neuroinclusive workplaces, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about "fitting in." Episode Highlights: How accidentally falling into PR and media led Peter to discover that the only way he could truly thrive was by making his own rules.Why decades of being told you’re “disruptive” can feel like a burden—and how unlearning that narrative helped Peter see his neurodivergent brain as an asset, not a liability.Media visibility for introverts: why letting press coverage do the talking can be a game-changer when self-promotion feels impossible.What every company should understand about neurodiversity—and why resistance to change is holding workplaces back.Don’t hide your different brain: Peter’s powerful message about embracing neurodiversity without shame—it doesn’t have to define your whole identity, but it shouldn’t be your secret either. Key Concepts Explored: Accidental career in PR and media: How starting out in an AOL chatroom led Peter to discover that he thrives when he creates his own rules.Entrepreneurship as a fit for neurodivergent brains: Why traditional employment can feel restrictive and self-employment allows your wiring to become an asset.The “broken” narrative: Unlearning decades of being told you’re disruptive and embracing neurodivergence as a benefit rather than a liability.Media visibility for introverts: How earned media and press coverage can do the talking for you when self-promotion feels impossible.Building neuroinclusive workplaces: Why companies resist change and what they can gain by embracing employees who think differently.Don’t hide your different brain: Embracing neurodiversity without shame—it doesn’t have to be your entire identity, but it shouldn’t be your secret either.Creating your own sandbox: Designing your environment and work to meet your unique strengths and needs. Common Questions Answered: How can I turn neurodivergence into an asset in my career or business?Why do traditional workplaces often feel limiting or frustrating for neurodivergent people?How can media visibility help introverts or high-expertise thinkers get noticed without self-promotion?What does it take to create a neuroinclusive workplace that supports different ways of thinking?How do I embrace my “different brain” without shame or feeling like it defines me? Notable Quotes: "If you didn’t know what to do, fake it and figure it out" – Peter Shankman [00:04:00] "The majority of us have been told our whole lives that we’re broken. It took me 20 years to realize I could make my brain...

    Ep 49 - BS-Free Business: Why Simple and Sustainable Wins

    Tired of building your business or career for the "fantasy version" of yourself?You're not alone. Many of us leave corporate environments that don't fit our neurodivergent, introverted, or strategically-wired brains, only to recreate the same extractive patterns in our own businesses. But what if there was another way?In this episode, I sit down with Maggie Patterson, creator of BS-Free Business and author of "Staying Solo," to explore why so much business advice isn't designed for businesses like yours. We dive into Maggie's "real-life rule" — if it doesn't work for your real life (with all your caregiving responsibilities, mental health considerations, and actual capacity constraints), it doesn't work in your business. Discover why being strategically wired can be a detriment as an employee but an asset as a solo business owner, learn how to build around your actual capacity instead of your maximum capacity, and find out why the best work you'll do might just be the work that feels easy. Episode Highlights: Why so much small business advice recreates the same toxic patterns we tried to leave behind in corporate lifeHow manipulative marketing tactics—like income claims and pain-point selling—harm solo business ownersWhy neurodivergent and introverted people often thrive as entrepreneurs after struggling in traditional workplacesThe “real-life rule”: building your business around actual capacity, not fantasy capacityHow being strategically wired can feel like a liability in corporate life but becomes a superpower in solo businessWhy the most sustainable businesses are often the simplest—lean, drama-free, and built to last Key Concepts Explored: The "real-life rule": building business around actual capacity and constraints rather than fantasy versions of ourselvesThe neurodivergent advantage in solo business: creating accommodations for yourself that corporate environments can't provideStrategic brain blindness: how strategically-wired people undervalue their most marketable assetsThe employee detriment of strategic thinking: why strategic minds struggle in corporate but thrive as entrepreneursThe paradox of easy work: why the highest-value, most enjoyable work should feel effortless when you're truly skilledIncome claim marketing and pain point manipulation vs. empathetic connection in business communicationLesser of evils decision-making: sustainable business choices for people with anxiety, ADHD, and mental health challengesSimplicity as competitive advantage: lean operations, minimal services, and building incrementally rather than perfectlyRight-sizing dreams and expectations to prevent business-induced breakdown during caregiving and life challengesNeurodivergent entrepreneurship as affirmation: self-employment as refuge for those who don't fit traditional work culture Common Questions Answered: How can I build a business that works with my ADHD/anxiety/neurodivergence?Why do I struggle with traditional business advice?Is self-employment viable for introverts and strategic thinkers?How do I build for my real capacity instead of my maximum capacity?Why does my strategic thinking feel undervalued in corporate environments? Notable Quotes: "So much of online business is built on this fantasy version of yourself—someone with endless time, endless energy, endless capacity. And it just doesn’t exist." – Maggie Patterson [00:05:00] "We left corporate because it didn’t fit—but then we build businesses that are just as extractive, just as harmful, just as unsustainable." – Maggie Patterson [00:07:00] "If it doesn’t work in your real life—with your caregiving, your...

    Ep 48 - Leading Leaders Toward Masterpiece Creation: Translating Your Moral Vision into Business Reality Through Masterpiece Leadership

    What if the critics and naysayers aren't a problem—but proof you're finally changing something that matters?Charles Spinosa spent decades as both a Shakespeare professor and management consultant, giving him a unique lens on what separates true leadership from good management. His approach isn't about influence or operational excellence—it's about moral artistry. It’s about the courage to ask "what always goes wrong?" and then take the risks necessary to create something beautiful instead.If you've ever felt like the person pointing out what's broken, if you have strong convictions about what's right even when it's unpopular, or if you're tired of managing around problems instead of solving them, this conversation will resonate deeply. Charles reveals why justice-sensitive and neurodivergent people often have a natural advantage in seeing what others miss—and how to turn that insight into transformational leadership. This episode will help you with leading leaders, and with seeing your own leadership development and career as a journey in masterpiece leadership.Episode Highlights: The two questions that define “masterpiece leadership:” What always goes wrong in your industry, and what would you love to do instead?How to distinguish between dissenters (who sharpen your vision) and betrayers (who undermine it).Why naysayers are often a sign that you’re taking the right kinds of risks.The neurodivergent advantage: spotting injustices and anomalies others overlook.Practical strategies for pushing through despair when moral risks don’t pay off right away.Justice sensitivity as a leadership strength—and how it positions you to create businesses worth falling in love with. Key Concepts Explored: Passion as a defining force that fuels resilience and long-term transformationThe Two-Question Framework that separates masterpiece creators from managersMoral risk-taking: why changing norms will always feel “wrong” at firstBetrayers vs. dissenters—and why dissent is essential for progressTruth-seeking platforms that go beyond psychological safety to real intellectual conflictPost-truth business culture and the limits of data without human truthJustice sensitivity as a leadership advantage for transformational changeThe neurodivergent edge in spotting anomalies and injustices others missMoral artistry: making solutions not just right, but beautifulFighting through despair and returning to core beliefs during setbacksAwe and wonder as signals you’re on the right pathA systemic change strategy for moving from easy wins to bold transformations Common Questions Answered: How can you take moral risks without putting your career in jeopardy?What separates managers from masterpiece creators?How should leaders handle team resistance to moral change? Notable Quotes: "What do people say leadership is these days? They say leadership is influence. I'm saying no. Leadership is taking moral risks to establish morally distinctive masterpieces. So I'm overturning a lot of norms. Of course there are gonna people who hate that." – Charles Spinosa [00:34:19] "So if I'm not hearing from naysayers, I might not be taking as much risk as I think I am, or as much risk as I could in pursuing a defining passion. That hearing from critics and naysayers says you're doing something different enough for people to have naysaying to do about it." – Sara Lobkovich [00:33:18] "Always be sensitive to what's going wrong in your organization. And don't forget to ask what you would love instead. And try to make the solutions you offer beautiful." – Charles Spinosa [00:32:57] "So if you're a leader,...

    Beyond The Binary and Queering Goal Setting

    What if everything you've been taught about goal setting is actually working against you?What if the rigid structure of SMART goals is crushing your creativity, disconnecting you from your body, and forcing you into a binary that simply doesn't fit who you are?Today's guest, Zephyr (Zeph) Williams (they/them), is an anti-hustle business strategist who helps radical entrepreneurs build "breathe-easy businesses." When Zeph and I connected over our mutual loathing of SMART goals on social media, I knew we had to have this conversation.In this episode, we're diving deep into why traditional goal-setting methods fail so many of us—especially neurodivergent folks and anyone who doesn't fit the conventional mold. Zeph introduces their revolutionary SLIC method (Sustainable, Long-term, Iterative, Consistent) and shares why self-care isn't optional—it's strategic. But the real magic happens when we land on a beautiful reframe that might just change how you think about achievement forever.

    Ep 46 - Breathwork for Busy Brains: Another Novel Path to Mindfulness

    Ever feel like your brain just won’t quit, and traditional meditation only makes it worse? Thinkydoers host Sara Lobkovich gets it. She lives mostly in her head, and practices like meditation or breathwork have often felt out of reach. They seemed like they were designed for people who are naturally calm and centered — not her.But this conversation with Chauna Bryant shifted everything. Chauna is a trauma-informed breathwork professional, and founder of Breath Liberation Society. She also describes herself as “probably the least chill meditation teacher you’ll ever meet.”Together, they explore how breathwork can offer a more accessible entry point for overthinkers and busy brains. Instead of forcing stillness, breathwork gives the mind something active to focus on — what Chauna compares to “giving your brain an iPad” to occupy it — while the body does its own work. They also talk about how breathwork differs from traditional meditation, why it’s particularly helpful for people with trauma histories, and how starting small (even just two breaths or two minutes) can be helpful. If mindfulness has ever felt like it wasn’t made for your kind of mind, this episode is for you. Episode Highlights: Why breathwork succeeds where traditional meditation fails for many peopleThe difference between activating and calming breathwork techniquesHow to start a somatic practice when you're resistant to body-based workTrauma-informed approaches to breathwork and nervous system regulationThe power of "titration" - starting with just 2 minutes instead of diving inWhy consent and agency are crucial in breathwork practiceUnderstanding breathwork as "nervous system pushups" for stress resilience Key Concepts Explored: Conscious connected breathing and three-part breath techniquesThe origins and cultural lineages of breathwork practicesHow breathwork allows nonverbal processing of emotions and traumaThe importance of finding trauma-informed, skilled practitionersWhy patience becomes "your first form of body connection" Common Questions Answered: What exactly is breathwork and how is it different from meditation?How can I start if I'm resistant to body-based practices?Is breathwork safe for people with trauma history?What should I expect from my first breathwork experience? Notable Quotes: “Breathwork gives the brain something to do. It’s just weird enough that it helps the body start to process what we’ve shelved or ignored.” — Chauna Bryant [00:04:00] “Whatever you’re doing, try like a minute. Try two minutes. Give it two minutes and then get out. That’s the way to start to build that body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:14:00] “For a lot of us with busy brains, patience is going to be our first form of body connection.” — Chauna Bryant [00:16:00] “Just let the experience exist without having to slap words on it.” — Chauna Bryant [00:31:00] “In breathwork, you get to choose as much or as little as you do—and whatever you choose, you’ll be cheered on fiercely.” — Chauna Bryant [00:34:00] Chapters: [00:00:00] Introduction: Welcome to Thinkydoers and Meet Chauna Bryant [00:02:00] What is Breathwork? Active Meditation for Busy Brains [00:05:00] Origins and Cultural Lineages of Breathwork Practices [00:06:00] From Brain-Centered to Body-Aware: Sara and Chauna's Common Ground [00:08:00] Chauna's Journey: From Gymnast to "Least Chill Meditation Teacher" [00:11:00] The Meditation Failure and Discovering Breathwork [00:12:00] Getting Started: Overcoming Resistance to Somatic Practices [00:15:00] Perfectionism and All-or-Nothing Thinking in Body

    Ep 45 - Q2 2025 OKR Forecast Part 2: Flexibility, Timing, and Hot Takes with Three Trusted OKR Experts

    The OKR Trio is back with Part 2 of their brutally honest Q2 2025 forecast, and they're not holding back. Sara Lobkovich, Maria Rowcliffe, and Natalie Webb tackle the questions you've been asking about rigid vs. flexible OKR approaches, timing models that actually work, and trends we’re seeing in tool choices.But here's where it gets spicy: they're sharing their most controversial OKR opinions, speed round style! From leaders trying to weaponize OKRs as surveillance tools to the popular (but problematic) advice to limit teams to just one strategic priority, this conversation will challenge norms you might not be able to imagine actually exist out there. You'll discover why monthly check-ins might mean you're tracking instead of managing, how geography is shaping OKR strategy differently across continents, and why Excel is making a surprising comeback in the enterprise. Plus, Sara drops a financial metrics hot take that might make your CFO squirm. This isn't your typical goal-setting advice. It's three veteran practitioners sharing what they're really seeing in the field, complete with the controversies, contradictions, and hard-won insights that only come from years in the trenches. Episode Highlights: Quarterly vs. Trimesterly Planning: why the Q4 “drop-off” is real—and how cadence choices impact OKR adoption across teamsBiweekly Reinforcement Loops: how one leadership team’s consistent review rhythm is accelerating organization-wide buy-inTool Sprawl & Excel Resurgence: why many orgs are ditching premium OKR platforms for scrappier, process-first setupsWhen Tools Hurt More Than Help: the danger of letting project management tools define your key resultsHot Takes on OKRs: financial metrics don’t belong in key results (and one-size-fits-all “just one OKR” advice? Hard pass)Big Brother OKRs?: pushing back when leadership wants to use OKRs for surveillance instead of strategyQ3 Preview: a deep dive on execution, achievement—and how to actually decide what OKR tooling makes sense for your org Key Concepts Explored: Hybrid Localization ApproachesLeadership sets objectives, teams shape Key ResultsThemes as bridges when objectives don't translate locallyKRs and Sub-KRs for fast-moving Scrum teamsMoving away from rigid objective cascadingTiming Model EvolutionBiweekly check-ins integrated with Scrum cyclesThe discipline of at least twice-weekly KR managementQuarterly vs. trimester cycle trade-offsEvent-triggered OKR adjustments for volatile environmentsTool Integration StrategiesProcess-first, tool-second implementation approachExcel resurgence due to cost considerationsAvoiding dueling OKR and project management platformsRecognition that L1 and L2 math doesn't require specialty softwareControversial Practices and Hot TakesOKRs as surveillance tools (problematic)Arbitrary "one OKR only" mandates (counterproductive)Financial metrics as KPIs vs. Key Results (contentious)Project deliverables masquerading as OKRs (misleading) Notable Quotes: "If you have a KR that you only manage monthly, you are not managing it, you're tracking it. Because you essentially have two data points, and then the quarter is over." — Maria Rowcliffe [00:06:00] "Once we learn the words and leadership is modeling the words and meanings, then the rigidity can come out of the framework." — Sara Lobkovich [00:04:00] "Financial metrics belong in mandatories and budgets. They're KPIs, they aren't key results." — Sara Lobkovich [00:15:00] "Bad news only gets worse with time. So the earlier they can

    Ep 44 - Q2 2025 OKR Forecast: Generative AI, Localization, and Retrospectives with a Panel of OKR Experts

    Ever wonder what's really happening in the OKR world beyond the hype?Join Sara Lobkovich, Maria Rowcliffe, and Natalie Webb for a candid, no-BS look at where OKRs are heading in 2025. This isn't your typical "here's how to write an objective" conversation. Instead, you'll get insider insights from three veteran practitioners who've been in the trenches, helping organizations navigate the messy reality of goal-setting and alignment at scale.In this first part of our quarterly update, we dive deep into the generative AI revolution (spoiler: it's not as revolutionary as everyone claims), the evolving art of OKR localization across complex organizations, and why your retrospectives might be the most important OKR practice you might be doing wrong. Whether you're an OKR skeptic, a seasoned practitioner, or somewhere in between, this conversation will give you practical insights you can't get anywhere else.Episode Highlights: Generative AI in OKRs: why draft quality is improving, but real strategic impact is still lagging behindTRV (Technology Realized Value): the Big Five’s new metric for linking OKRs to actual tech investment outcomesThe “Two Lists” Problem: how teams are secretly working off dual strategies—and why it’s undermining OKR focusCascading and Localization: evolving models for aligning across global teams, even amid geopolitical complexityCulture-First OKRs: tailoring implementation to readiness, from transformation-driven overhauls to scrappy gradual rolloutsRetrospectives that matter: how deeper reflection—not just review—builds quarter-over-quarter OKR maturity Key Concepts Explored: Generative AI in OKRs: Where it's accelerating strategy work, where it's falling short, and the risk of generic, uncontextualized modelsTechnology Realized Value (TRV): A new metric used alongside OKRs to measure the tangible impact of tech investmentsThe “Two Lists” Problem: How parallel strategic workstreams outside the OKR framework dilute focus and undermine accountabilityLocalization & Alignment: Why clear, bottom-up contribution is critical in global, matrixed organizations—especially in high-stakes geopolitical climatesCulture-Responsive Implementation: Tailoring OKR rollouts based on organizational readiness, risk appetite, and transformation goalsIterative Learning over Perfection: Why OKR maturity builds quarter over quarter—and how learning from retrospectives is more valuable than writing the “perfect” OKRLeading vs. Lagging Indicators: The power of AI to help surface potential leading indicators clients may struggle to define on their ownTransformation & Change Management: How OKRs, when paired with transformation strategy, become powerful drivers of organizational evolution Notable Quotes: "Is this really driving the value you wanted to achieve? How do you know who cares? So what happens if this is done or not done? These things that don't get asked are so critically important to make sure that people are focused on the right work." — Natalie Webb [00:12:00] "If I could only tell clients one thing about OKRs, it would be we spend all of our time focused on writing them and then way too little time focused on learning from them." — Sara Lobkovich [00:23:00] "I think the best way to use OKRs initially is always the way that the company is willing and able to adopt it. Me talking about the gold star way of doing OKRs isn't gonna help clients that are at the crawling level and not a hundred percent convinced yet." — Maria Rowcliffe [00:21:00] "OKRs are really hard. We're talking about change - really hard for people to stick with when it gets challenging." — Sara Lobkovich [00:28:00] Chapters: [00:00:00] Introduction:...
