Gary Montalvo

In today’s episode, Gary Montalvo and certified ADHD coach Ryan Mayer discuss some of the many misconceptions and challenges associated with ADHD.

The episode is interspersed with many moments of humor, as these 2 new friends commiserate over shared quirks. The result is a tender exploration of the impact of ADHD on individuals' lives, the differences in brain functioning, and the importance of seeking a diagnosis. They also discuss the role of medication and other strategies in managing ADHD symptoms and the need for understanding, compassion, and support for those with ADHD.

In this episode, we discuss:

How ADHD is not simply a lack of focus or lack of applying yourself; it is an actual disorder that can have a significant impact on individuals' lives, including their finances, careers, businesses, and relationships.
How the workplace can often be a challenging environment for those with ADHD, but it can be navigated successfully with accommodation strategies and a focus on leveraging the individual's strengths.
How medication can be an effective treatment for ADHD, but it is not a cure-all. It should be combined with other strategies and support.
How working with a coach can provide guidance, support, and accountability for individuals with ADHD.
Little changes and strategies that can have a big impact on managing ADHD and improving productivity.
