Former England International rugby player James Haskell was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. In this episode, James shares how he has managed his ADHD through a career as an international rugby player for England and the British & Irish lions, as well as while performing as a top podcaster and DJ since retiring.   Speaking to Simon Mundie, James shares how an early diagnosis came at a time when there was little discussion or awareness of ADHD. This threw up challenges, from being pulled from a match for taking the ADHD drug Ritalin, to dealing with possible misunderstandings with England coaches over his condition. James’ ambition and focus is a theme throughout his life. He has worked hard to understand how his brain works with ADHD and how to deal with distraction and attention deficit.In this episode we also hear from Dr Wiley, a pediatrician who specializes in working with ADHD children, who adds his insight after having listened to the conversation between James and Simon. This episode emphasises the need for a proper ADHD test, for people who want to learn to thrive with their condition as James has.Qbtech www.qbtech.com www.instagram.com/qbtech www.twitter.com/qbtechADHD www.facebook.com James Haskell instagram.com/jameshaskell/

The New York Times described Peter Shankman as a “rockstar who knows everything about social media and then some”. Peter is a serial entrepreneur, multiple best-selling author and in-demand speaker - but his success didn't come easy. As a child Peter was told he was "broken" and "didn't fit in", a not unfamiliar experience for people growing up with undiagnosed ADHD. But Peter learned to manage his neurodiverse brain to great effect - and in this episode he shares many of the lessons, strategies and outlooks that have enabled him to reach great heights. More on Peter's ADHD work  Peter is host of the popular Faster Than Normal podcast – featuring guests from all walks of life with both professional and lived experience of ADHD. Peter is also the author of the Boy with the Faster Brain, a children’s book exploring how neurodiverse individuals can harness their strengths, and Faster Than Normal: Turbocharge Your Focus, Productivity, and Success with the Secrets of the ADHD Brain.   https://www.shankman.com/https://www.fasterthannormal.com/episodes/https://www.instagram.com/petershankman/?hl=enSimon Mundie www.simonmundie.com www.tinyurl.com/youtubesimonmundie www.instagram.com/simonmundie Podcast: https://podfollow.com/tllp

Katherine Ellison won a Pulitzer Prize in journalism just four years after being sued for $11 million for a careless reporting mistake. In her conversation with Simon, Katherine opens up about her inattentive symptoms and life before her ADHD diagnosis at 48. Despite her long-undiagnosed symptoms, she fulfilled her dream of being a foreign correspondent, spending 15 years reporting from Asia and Latin America, and is also proud that her two adult children are still speaking to her. In recent years, Katherine has authored and co-authored 12 books, including the outstanding ‘Buzz: A Year of Paying Attention’, which is about parenting her son who also has ADHD. Yet before understanding how her brain works, she thought of herself as ‘flawed’, clumsy, and careless. Having learnt so much about ADHD in order to write that book, she shares a wealth of knowledge and insight in this episode.Katherine Ellison www.facebook.com/katherineellisonofficial www.twitter.com/kathellison  Simon Mundie www.simonmundie.com www.tinyurl.com/youtubesimonmundie www.instagram.com/simonmundie Qbtech www.qbtech.com www.instagram.com/qbtech www.twitter.com/qbtechADHD www.facebook.com
