Jack Taylor knew exactly how to build a six figure business, and for years he couldn't get his own past the same ceiling. He had buyers sitting in his DMs waiting for a reply, and he spent the day building a spreadsheet to manage them while they went cold. Then his mum and his fiancée laughed over dinner that he'd obviously got something, and when the official diagnosis finally came, it changed nothing at all.
This week Jack is the guest. Harvey Holt, who started out as a personal trainer too, had him on his podcast Changing Lanes and took him through the whole story. Jack is the founder of The Hunter Brain and the host of The ADHD Entrepreneur. He left school early, built a private training studio that was running 40 to 50 sessions a week until Covid closed it overnight, took an online fitness business to just under six figures, and then shut it down on Christmas Eve 2024 to work out how his own brain worked. He now helps founders with this brain type build their businesses around it.
He explains:
• Why he looks at ADHD as human variation, in the same way some people need glasses or factor fifty • The chaos ceiling, and why so many ADHD founders fly in the start up phase and then stall • How he burned leads sitting in his DMs while building a spreadsheet to manage them • Why his official diagnosis changed nothing, and what actually changed his life • Why seven figure founders push back on ADHD but put their hand up for the Hunter Brain • Why he never sets yearly goals, and the two week hunt that made one client £28,800 • He opens up about the partying that ended in an overdose, and the years he calls circumstantially depressed
