To say that this conversation is inspirational and heartfelt, thoughtful and emotional, and fundamentally captures all that this summit intends to convey to our listeners -- well, that’s an understatement. This conversation with Marvyn Harrison offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an adult diagnosed with ADHD, what it means to be a black man diagnosed with and treated for ADHD, what it means to be a father with ADHD, a partner, an entrepreneur, a thought-leader. You get the picture. This conversation is a meta conversation about ADHD. And while it will appeal to everyone, it’s likely that it will resonate most with the adults with ADHD who are continuously trying to understand and manage themselves.
