You're not creative because you have an ADHD brain. You're creative because friction forced you to be. The Impulsive Thinker® tears down the myths about ADHD and Entrepreneur creativity.
In This Episode:
- Why friction—not your ADHD diagnosis—creates real creative skills
- The traps of too much and too little friction for ADHD entrepreneurs
- Growth mindset versus victim mindset in the face of business resistance
What You'll Take Away:
- Your creative drive wasn't handed to you by your brain—it was built through scars and pushback
- Repetition under pressure is where skills get made, not boredom-breaking
- Too much friction burns you out, not up
- Being bored isn't a flaw; it's fuel for finding new angles
- You, not your wiring, are responsible for what you make out of resistance
