The Impulsive Thinker®
We celebrate ADHD Entrepreneur success and discuss challenges and solutions. Having lived with undiagnosed ADHD for a large part of his entrepreneurial journey, André Brisson shares his personal stories on how he overcame his undiagnosed symptoms and how he refined his systems, routines and habits once diagnosed with self-awareness and personal growth. André interviews other ADHD Entrepreneurs, ADHD experts, and strength discovery experts covering many topics including their own obstacles and successes, strategies to manage their ADHD, share knowledge to gain insights and more. André is also interviewed by guest hosts to pull out solutions and information from his brain – since his solutions are impulsive thoughts when talking to someone else. André Brisson was diagnosed at 44 with severe ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) level 1 (Asperger's syndrome). He has lived it, researched it, and transformed himself into a successful ADHD Entrepreneur.
