The one with Michael Cloonan and how his gift of ADHD has enabled his success as an entrepreneur. 

Michael’s been an entrepreneur since the age of 16. He also has ADHD but this is only something he’s recently had the diagnosis for.  
 
For years, he didn’t understand how he could be so intense about his ventures yet at the same time get equally distracted, depressed and lost in his own thoughts. He says it was like swinging on a pendulum. 
 
The same force that was taking him up in life was also pulling him straight back down. Unaware of what was going on he just carried on until he had a break down and pretty much lost everything. 
 
But he began to learn more about ADHD and now coaches those who are easily distracted. 
 
On this episode Michael shares his story about how he discovered he has ADHD, the challenges but also the gifts it brings.  

We talk about how are brains are wired differently.  And he shares some techniques for those who may be easily distracted.
