Hey Team! I’ve been on a bit of a break this summer, but I wanted to help celebrate International ADHD Awareness Day by dropping a new episode.

After stepping away from a stable corporate career at Dell and LinkedIn to launch a tech startup, Jia realized his deepest bottleneck wasn't a lack of...

Hacking Your ADHD

We’re diving back into the vault this week to bring you my conversation with Ying Deng (ADHD Asian Girl). I’ll be honest: for a long time, meditation felt like one of those things I should do, but didn't really get. Talking with Ying changed that.

We move past the "popular media" version of meditation and get into the nitty-gritty of how to actually build a practice when your mind won't stop racing.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I’m your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I’m joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper—or, in today’s case, multiple papers—and dive into what they say, how they were conducted, and try to find practical takeaways.

The first paper we’re discussing is called "The MTA at Eight Years: Prospective Follow-Up of Children Treated for Combined-Type ADHD in a Multisite Study." This is about the MTA, the Multitreatment Study of Children with ADHD, which was the largest, most expensive, and most influential study conducted on ADHD treatment, originally published in 1999. It had a huge impact on how we view ADHD, especially in highlighting the shift toward thinking of ADHD as a chronic condition that requires sustained management rather than just something you "cure." Let’s dive in and talk about what’s going on in this eight-year follow-up study.
