Welcome to Networking Unleashed, Building Profitable
Connections. The show where conversations don't
stay small, they turn into real business wins.
I'm Michael Forman and welcome to my podcast.
Today's episode is for every entrepreneur, leader,
and fast thinker who's ever felt like their brain
runs on a different speed and wondered if that
was a problem. What if it's not? What if ADHD
isn't a weakness? What if it's your edge? And
what if the rise of AI and automation isn't here
to replace connection, but to finally give people
like you the structure to build once? Today's
guest brings a powerful mix of perspective and
practicality. We're talking about ADHD as a different
operating system, not a limitation. We're talking
about using AI and automation. to run lean without
losing the human side of business. And most of
all, we're talking about how the way you think
you can turn everyday conversations into serious
opportunity. If you've ever felt misunderstood
in business, if you move fast, think big, and
refuse to fit in the box, this episode is for
you. So let's get into it. I'd like to welcome
Andre. Andre, thank you so much for coming on
my podcast. It means a lot to me. Would you just
mind introducing yourself to my listeners and
give us a little bit of how you got here today?
So one thing before I start, I have to mention,
I don't know if I can introduce myself better
than the way that you already introduced everything
that I do. And I do a lot of podcasts, but it
was the best way to describe. the stuff that
we're trying to teach people and show them. So
I actually want to thank you on the way it was
described. So my name is Andre. Andre, I live
in Canada. I moved to Canada around 15 years
ago. I'm originally from Israel. Kind of background
from back home. I had many years that from a
place of discipline, I practiced martial art
for many years. I served the Israeli army. And
I'm very proud that I have ADHD. OCPD and I'm
dyslexic. And as you mentioned, they are my superpowers.
When I moved to Canada, I started working as
a locksmith very fast. I opened my own company.
And from there, we opened a security integration
that we provide services today all over Canada
and some areas in the States. I also own a company
called D8 that is for glazing, commercial glazing
and aluminum. And I have pretty much the company
that I'm the most proud of. off right now because
it's something that is very close to my heart
that is Metador. And Metador is exactly what
we're going to talk today. It's about leadership.
It's about AI, ADHD, and everything in between.
That sounds wonderful. And we could probably
have this podcast for three hours, but we don't
have that kind of time. So I'll try to hone you
in and get the answers from you. You describe
ADHD as a different operating system, not a limitation.
When it comes to networking, what strengths does
that operating system give people that others
overlook? So when you're doing networking, you're
technically meeting strangers all day. You're
going to do sales, you're meeting strangers.
I call it my scanner eye. When I go to someone's
office for the first time, I scan it right away.
I can see hobbies. I can see family pictures.
If I don't see, I'm able to categorize the person
I'm sitting in front of. So I know how to fit
the dialogue between them in a way to create
kind of interaction. I'm able to listen to what
people here are saying to me during conversation
and already build the second and the third and
the fourth part of that conversation, what is
giving me an edge of how people are thinking.
And with the years, I built a system that is
even making it easier because I already have
templates in my head. So it's also able to create
experience for people when they meet you. So,
for example, when you meet someone, let's say
you called a repair guy for your house to fix
your dishwasher, for example. You have a template
in your head that you're expecting that person
to come with a work van or a pickup. cargo pants,
work clothes related, a binder. If that person
now is coming with a suit, something does not
fit here. Now, it's up to him when he's coming
with a suit to create an experience. If he create
a positive experience from that transaction,
he cannot fit in the repair guy box. And that
way, it's creating a new experience, what is
creating something that you want to tell to other
people, what is helping with networking, because...
What I hear a lot from our customers, we had
a guy come here to give us an estimate for the
security guy and he came with a suit and he had
a bun with a long hair, like everything that
didn't expand and created an experience from
everything that also creates friendship. Because
now he's curious to know, like why he doesn't
fit to that box. And as a person with ADHD, we
don't fit in boxes. So we just create our own
open box. Yeah. And as when you ask questions,
that brings you to another level of conversation
and everything else. You have to be inventive.
You have to ask those questions. And I too have
a template of sorts. When I'm first sitting down
with somebody, I use something called F -O -R
-M. Family, occupation, recreation, and a message.
And I try to get to them on one of those levels.
So I just let that person talk because people
love to talk about themselves. So you just let
them talk. And you always listen. You don't really
talk. You listen. The more you listen, the better
off you're going to be. Okay, I digress. Many
professionals with ADHD struggle with follow
-up and consistency. What systems or habits have
helped you turn fast thinking into real business
relationships? Okay. Like you said, it's not
a long podcast for a few hours, so I'll say it
in short because I have many systems. For example,
we have our main office for the company, for
each company. I have my own office that is detached
from everything, literally a different unit that
is separate. The reason for it, I cannot hear
stuff so I can stay focused. All my windows are
covered, always. I don't see shadows. I usually
always have my headphones on. I have my own specific
music that I like that I found that is really
good for my focus. It's a mix between classical
music and rave together. It sounds crazy, but
it's really nice. It's creating tempo when I
work. And a lot of task list. I have a lot of
apps. For example, I have no social media. Even
that I have LinkedIn, but it's managed by one
of my team. I don't have access to it. I can't.
I cannot access anything than just use a regular
phone, to be honest. So there is nothing to distract
me. My browsers cannot go over 20 tabs because...
Again, there is the stuff that I need. And I
built a system that we built under the Zoho platform.
It took me a few years. We actually got a few
awards for it. That it's built the same way as,
in a way, my brain. So if I have a meeting with
you, automatically it's creating me a task. And
if I'm not doing the task in the right timeline,
it's going to bug me. And there is no way to
stop it but just finishing it. when we have over
158 automations built in on that system in different
areas. First of all, in a way to save time, save
clicks, and in that way to mainstream stuff that
have to be done in a very specific way. And I
have an assistant and also operation manager.
I call them my gatekeepers. Every time if I'm
slacking or not getting, they keep me accountable.
And if they have to give me shit, sometimes it's
on a weekly basis, they will put me in place
because... I hire them to feed my personality
in order to help me to excel. That's very good
because half the problem with being a business
owner or multiple business owners is accountability.
You don't want yes men around you saying, oh,
yeah, it's a great idea. It's a great idea. No,
you want somebody to give you feedback and say,
no, you're wrong. You have to do it this way.
And listen, you as the owner. You take all the
recommendations, take all the information, and
you do with it what you think is best. But if
you don't have those people around you, then
you have nowhere to go. You don't achieve as
much as you have by having yes men. Exactly.
People that work with them directly, their job
descriptions is to find my mistakes and to point
them out to me. And they have to be very extremely
different than me. So in that way, I like the
data coming from them. They'll show me a different
point of view. And they're also going to be add
the stuff that I'm not able to add or to be honest,
to be able to do it much better. I always like
to hire people that can do stuff much better
than me. As ADHD, we're more visionaries. We're
what is called a wartime CEOs. We're not peacetime
CEOs. If in peace, we're going to make wars.
So we're good to come for a specific operation,
finishing it and go to the next one. We're not
the one to sustain it. And because we cannot
sustain it, it's also not good for our staff
under it to give them stability. So we need people
that are opposite so staff can stay with us.
And at the end of the day, our team is what is
growing the company. It's not a one -person show.
So we need to have a different type of people.
It sounds like you have the right people around
you. I like to think of myself somewhere in the
middle. I may lean a little one way or the other,
but I like to think of myself somewhere in the
middle, but I too. Don't surround myself with
yes men. I have to accept what they're saying.
But it sounds like you found the right people
and that you're headed in the right direction.
Yeah, I'm super grateful and very lucky that
I have good people around me. It's my biggest
success. You teach that focus doesn't come from
force. It comes from design. How can business
owners shape their networking style so it fits
their brain? that already works first thing first
being honest so you need to honest who you are
whatever person you are don't try to play a character
because again it's not sustainable you need to
be who you are and even that if you some people
don't think they are enough so they're trying
to be something else the people that you want
to know the people you want to network they will
be able to see it and then it's not good reputation
for you So I will say, step number one, be you.
Even if it doesn't fit to a specific group. But
even a specific group would like to have something
different because it's honest. People attract
to honest people because they give a feeling
of cleanness and honesty that come with that.
Even if they don't have the same point of interest
or anything. And secondly, like you said, ask
questions. So the second you're asking questions.
Don't hear someone saying something in conversations
and pretend. And I usually like to say, like,
when I go to meetings with my lawyer and the
accountant and they speak keywords I don't know.
I always tell them, guys, I pay you guys a lot
of money. Please speak English so I can understand
what's going on in this meeting as well. But
the same thing when I go with a customer. If
a customer mentions a word or someone that I
meet in a networking event, I don't understand.
I don't pretend I do. Worst case, if I really...
I don't want to, I'm afraid to ask. I'll Google
it right now so I can get into the conversation.
But be curious. And by even asking the question,
nobody will think less of you. If you actually,
this is your input into the conversation. And
then you understand better. And for sure you
have something to say because you're there in
that event anyway. So you are related in a way.
What you are describing is being authentic. You
have to be authentic to yourself. And that's
a word that is thrown around quite easily. Everybody
and every podcast you could ever imagine on every
website, oh, be authentic, be real, be authentic,
be real. And it's not just words. If you don't
feel it and truly do it, people will see right
through you, first of all, and give you like
two minutes of their time and move on. But if
you want to stay with the conversation, you want
to be authentic, and you have to listen, and
you have to ask questions. All of these combined
together gives you the greatest outcome. Yeah.
And the one thing I also found from networking
that was one of my biggest tools, if you give
before you accept to receive, you're going to
receive much more. That's called having a servant's
heart. That's called because you're looking to
give rather than receive. And that's all part
of my, I do workshops, I do keynotes, I do all
breakout sessions. And as I'm discussing what
you do when you walk up to a table, let's say,
and you have somebody talking to you, at the
end of the form and everything else, before you
even describe what you do, you come out with
something like, I like you. I like how you do
business and the way you're doing it. How can
I make you more successful? How can I be a good
referral source for you? And if I did my job
correctly, they'll say, Mike, I don't even know
what the hell you do yet. And you're already
trying to make me more successful? Yes. So that
is having a servant's heart. So you hit the nail
right. You hit the money. Okay. AI and automation
are becoming standard tools for lean businesses.
How can these tools help people who think fast
and juggle many ideas stay connected instead
of overwhelmed? So I think when you say, I think
today, if you've got, you're going to look in
the dictionary, AI equal overwhelm for a lot
of people. And it's because that. There is a
lot of videos going online saying, hey, I built
a company for AI and I did a million dollars
in my first month. That is the false advertising
around it. Secondly, false advertising, AI is
going to take people's jobs. AI is not going
to take people's jobs. Someone that know how
to use AI will take people who don't know how
to use AI jobs. That for sure. The way that I
represent, because I work with a lot of companies
that introduce AI, their organization, and the
way that I... In the do set, I'm saying, think
about a carpenter. There is a new type of drill
that came up, a bigger battery, more circles
on the engine. It's more resistance and everything.
You want to go and buy it right away because
it's better. It's lighter. The battery can last
for longer. AI is the same thing. It's a tool.
I could have said it better myself. As you were
speaking, I was like, those are the words that
I want to use. Because that's all AI is. AI is
a tool. And you have several tools that you use
in business. And AI is just one of the tools.
And you have to learn how to use it correctly.
Just like that drill. You don't know how to use
a drill correctly, you're going to get into a
lot of trouble. Because you're going to make
holes in places you never thought of. Once you
learn how to use it, it's beautiful. So that's
what it is. AI is a tool. And I can't, go ahead.
No, I can't improve on what you said. Yeah. AI
is a tool. And the second you're taking that
tool, it's a, first of all, it's a connection
tool. AI, for example, for myself, I'm, if I
had to send you a text freely without using any
type of app that kind of help, I won't be able
to read it myself. If I had to write it, forget
about it. AI bridging that gap. It's not an issue.
Absolutely. It's not the niche -winning one.
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I'm in your camp
when it comes to that, okay? When I'm writing
down notes, when I'm talking about something
or somebody or in a meeting or taking a class
on the web, after a break, I look at my notes.
I'm going, I can't read my notes. I might as
well not have taken them because I can't read
them. All right. Most networking advice assumes
everyone works the same way. What advice would
you give someone who feels out of place in traditional
networking rooms? So I do find, especially when
I started doing business consultation, I found
that all businesses, anywhere from a guy that's
working from the back of his truck to a guy that
owns a thousand trucks, it's the same problem,
different skills at the end of the day. And understanding
that, you now understand that the person is not
different than you, in a way. It's not that if
he's running a company that is bigger, you're
actually the lucky one if you're in a small company.
You don't have the stress he's having. He's actually
jealous of you, not you jealous of him. And this
is what a lot of people don't understand. Every
step you're taking for growth of business, you're
taking at least five to six steps back in your
income, in your peace of mind. And so many different
stuff that I was telling a technician that worked
for me over the years. And then when they moved
to be a contractors, I told them before, when
you guys finish a job, you went home and sleep
and you slept well. Now you guys are business
owners. Welcome to the world of people that don't
sleep. That's right. That's right. Everybody
wants to work. I've been working for myself for.
100 years. And I went corporate. I worked corporate
for about 15 years. Beforehand, I started off
in the military. Then I went into my own business.
Then I went corporate. I went back to my own
business. And I'm doing this now. And everybody
always wants to have their own business. I said,
sure, you want your own business because you
work half a day. They said, you do? I said, sure,
12 hours a day is half a day. And they're going,
wait a minute. I said, no, and that's on a good
day. And it's a whole lot more that goes to it,
but that's for another day. You talk about turning
ADHD into an advantage. Can you share a moment
when your thinking style directly led to a connection
or deal that might not have happened otherwise?
I actually have many of them. The biggest thing
is when I go meet with customers, I don't prepare
for meetings. I can't, actually. It's going against
me if I will prepare because I know the subject
I'm going to speak about or what we're going
to do if we're buying a company or selling a
product, but I won't prepare. I won't do research
of who is there in the meeting because I don't
want to create what I call baggage, something
that will influence me. in the way or create
excitement or stress in any way and but because
of the adhd it's giving the tool the second i
come inside the room and i see everybody in front
of me and it's giving me an options to i feel
it's like a machine that's starting collecting
data on everybody by the way they sit the way
that they're dressed the way that kind of their
eyes if they're engaged they're not engaged and
everything and then i know who i want like sometimes
i would point at my most of the conversation
on one person that I know is not a decision maker,
but I know it's going to annoy the other person
and it's creating him more attention because
he's expecting me to be with him. So joy is like
a game for me. And it's every meeting that I
go or even podcast that I go, I'm able to, I
found that if I'm, because of my ADHD, it would
be hard for me to prepare. And if I'm not preparing,
I'm able to excel much better because technically
I'm doing my ADHD. Go loose, run, do it. Give
me the data that you want. And it's the area
that you thrive at. Yeah, no, I feel, especially
on podcasts, that if I try to prepare, that will
hold me back. I can't allow, because I'm too
busy trying to remember what I'm trying to remember
instead of just free falling. And it's just that
much better. And when you walk into that room,
that meeting, You're picking up the body language
of all the people. As you said, how they sit,
how they look at you, how they're dressed, how
they're motioning, their hands, their feet, their
face. You have to take all that in and you have
about five seconds to get all that information,
which you do without a problem. It's something
that you have to train yourself to do. And then
you can very quickly move on to the next thing.
So it's very astute. Okay. There is a saying
that I learned it very well on myself over the
years. And actually, I saw it a few days ago.
And it's saying there is two options. It's or
I'm going to win or I'm going to learn. So I
learned a lot, let's say, this way. I tried a
lot of stuff that people will say it won't work.
And I was like, but I want to try it. I think
that maybe I can do something. Some of them I
succeed. A lot of them I fail. But I learned
so much from my failures. It's something you
have to train and learn a lot. That way, you're
actually, it's a skill. ADHD is a skill. You
need to train it, like AI as well. Yeah. I like
what you said. I like either you're going to
win or you're going to learn, right? Because
you learn so much more from your failures than
you do of your successes. If somebody's successful,
always. then they'll never achieve that next
level. But once they fail, they'll say, oh, you
know what? I did that wrong. Let me make this
better. So you're going to learn from it. I like
that. I like that a lot. All right. Many people
fear they come across as scattered or intense.
How can professionals own their own energy in
conversations without trying to water it down?
So how? So pretty much as a person, as I just
want to understand that I understand the question.
So the person that has ADHD, how I'm not overwhelming
the other people in the conversation. Right.
Because it's very easy to appear as a, that you're
fearing that they view you as being a scatterbrain,
right? Or you're too intense. So how can professionals
own their own energy? in conversations without
trying to order down their information? So there
is two things. One, if you have a few meeting
customer or networking or so on, it's a one scenario
that you need more to control because there is
a percentage of how much. So when I meet with
someone, we have to keep 70 -30. So 30 % we're
going to speak about what is the meaning for
the meeting and 70 % we're going to speak about
anything else because this is where we're actually
networking. This is my rule. Now, from that time
that we're speaking, I have to keep my involvement
in the conversation under 50%. So I'm allowing
the person to speak up. This is my rules that
I'm trying. So it's something I remind myself
all the time of there is a percentage that have
to be done. So numbers is something that's helping
me because this is creating a structure for me.
If, let's say, with employees, part of our onboarding,
people who work with me directly, it's my question,
did you ever work with a person with ADHD? And
if they say no on the second interview, I ask
that again. If they still don't know, first of
all, I know they're not for me because I'm not
curious enough to check stuff. And then we check.
And a lot of the team that's working with me,
they are aware. And they'll tell me, Andre, you're
getting out of the subject. Let's go back. And
I'm okay with that because this is also the type
of people that I put around me to help me. And
this is the people you said. But even my customers,
if I have to type something as I do a presentation
and everything, I start, guys, I'm sorry. I'm
dyslexic. So I have to speak to the computer.
It'll be easier so I can get the proper stuff.
But I also bring it as a joke, not as a, I have
a disability. This is who I am. When you own
it, when you own the problem, it's not a problem.
I apologize. When you own that type, when you
are ADHD and you own it, yes, I am. And look,
you accept me for what I can do because I could
do some great things for you as long as you understand
that I have this ADHD. And it's when you're sitting
down with somebody and you said you always talk
less than 50%, which I found it was hysterical
because when I first sit down with somebody,
I let them talk. Like the first 10 minutes of
our conversation, it's all about them. And it's
all about them talking. I use FORM and I listen
to them and I respond to what they're saying.
And there's another little trick that I've learned.
And I'm just going to take two seconds to tell
you. When you walk into somebody's office and
pictures on the rear credenza facing out their
family, that means that they are open to talking
about their family, saying, oh, that's a nice
picture, that's a nice wife, your daughter, your
son, whatever. If they have pictures on the front
credenza facing him, you stay away. You don't
talk about that because he doesn't want you to
discuss his family. So it's a little thing that
I picked up. So maybe you can use it in future
reference. It's actually a good scenario because
there is people that you want to give them the
percentage of to talk. So they share and they
don't. This is usually, I have a scenario that
I'll start being very sharing in way to create
comfortable. I shared first. So now you can in
way to break the ice because some people are
getting very excited from that interaction. So
you want to create them again. My goal is to
create a good experience from our meeting because
I need to build a new box in your head, in my
head. So there is different way and way to do
it. But again, as you told me about the pictures,
it's like my head just ran on a lot of meetings
that I had and who had the pictures with the
back to me. And again, most likely it's going
to bug me now until I'll figure someone that
was like that, but I don't remember. But the
next time you walk into an office, you're going
to see pictures either in the front or the back
and you go. That's what Michael says. All right.
Now I know. You create an experience. You open
a box. Absolutely correct. Absolutely. With automation
handling more tasks, human connection matters
even more. What should people double down on
in conversations that technology could never
replace? Technology can understand how to do
a task, know why we need to do it. So there is
many whys in a person. There is many whys in
a business. And again, a lot of people are talking
about the whys. And a why is something that is
changed. That when, let's say I speak with our
sales team and they say, all right, the customer
want to do X, Y, Z. Why? Because this is what
he asked. Why? Why does he want to do it? What
does it matter? But this is what he asked and
he's willing to pay for it. What does it matter?
I said, the why is important because the why
equal to the ROI. How we can measure our success,
providing them the solution that you need, if
we don't understand why you need it. Because
maybe the reason he's thinking you need it, it's
not a good reason. And many customers, I told
them, hey, it's not the right solution for you
guys. No, it's not going to help for what you
want. They're the most loyal people and friends
that are my friends right now around me, because
I was honest with them. AI will never take that
level. You weren't just looking for the dollar.
You are looking to help your customer. And that's
such a big difference. AI can give you an answer,
but they can't give you the emotional support
that goes with it. And that's what you're bringing
to the table. And that's what I believe your
clients understand. And that's why you're so
successful. The way that I introduced to other
people AI, I told them, when someone is, let's
say, a receptionist. She has days that she has
our voice saying, like, it's her birthday. She's
super happy. And there is days that they're not
very good. She had an argument with her husband
or spouse or whatever. So people are going anywhere
between 50 to 80, up and down. AI provided me
a steady 70. And I'm not expecting over 70 because
it's steady. That's what it can give me. The
rest, this is about us. And this is why AI won't
take our job. Because AI cannot go over 70. AI
cannot go over 70. And that is what people need
to understand, that AI won't grow without us.
Absolutely. I couldn't agree with you more. I
couldn't agree with you more. But again, that
goes back to AI being a tool and you know how
to use it correctly. Okay. So you work with leaders
who want to learn, who want lean teams and strong
relationships. What habits separate the ones
who build lasting networks from those who just
collect contacts? First of all, usually for a
lot of businesses that they, let's say they read
about the lean process or whatever they come.
So first of all, a business that want to convert
themselves to be a lean, it's only two situation.
Or it's a brand new business that we can start
over that way. It's a mindset. Or it's a business
that the management, it's what I call. The pain
level is seven and up. Because when people are
in a high pain level, they're willing to make
changes. First of all. Also understand that doing
changes to be lean, it's also making a lot of
hard decision about the way that you operate.
It's again, it's about who is the need to be
involved in the business. How are we going to
be operate? Show example on yourself. As a person
with ADHD, again, Amazon love me. I buy a lot
of stuff like it's a... I'm an impulsive buyer.
When we moved to a lean business, the same thing
that I was preaching to everybody, and we quote,
every dollar has a name. It starts with me. So
the first thing I did when we started implementing
stuff, I had a driver that would drive me from
one job to another to see the job so I can work.
I fired my driver. My driver was a luxury. Even
though he was helping me with a lot, but it's
a luxury. So the stuff is starting for me. How
are you showing it and how we implement it? And
the secondly is also showing, we're showing a
lot of dashboard of showing because we work that
way, look our improvement, look at how we did
it. So we need to be able to buy in into that
area and understand it because this business
that is lean is not, it doesn't be like a triangle.
It's a one line. Everybody's together. Everybody
is a part of it. I usually recommend to have
a profit sharing as well because. you need information
from every department. Linda did business with
automation. That means there's a lot of rapidical
tasks that's happening in the background to the
systems. But the conductor that managed that
department has to be a strong one. And one that
he care about the business as it is on business.
And when he has profit sharing, technically it
is on business minus the liability. So it's a...
It's all about the team. And a lot of people
that won, they're just thinking about how they
can improve the P &L by their profit and loss
by doing lean. It doesn't work. It's a team effort.
It's like in the army. Absolutely. I serve as
a fighter engineer. So we deal with explosive.
I cannot do my work if the, again, we don't have
Marines in Israel, but similar to the Marine,
they will protect the area without the canine
unit, without the paramedic. Each one of them
won't be there. My skills doesn't work much.
And it's exactly... I'm behind you 100%. I'm
behind you 100%. I was a police officer in the
Air Force nine years. And I went from being a
simple patrolman to the law enforcement flight
supervisor, which is like a lieutenant on the
police force. And it takes everybody. to work.
You can't just have one person do one thing and
expect everything to come out right. You need
the work of everybody. And when everybody works
together, oh, you can do so much more. You can.
All right. So let's bring this podcast full circle.
If someone listening feels misunderstood in business
because of how they think, what's the first mindset
shift that helps them show up with more confidence
in every room they enter? Share. There is a saying
in Hebrew, say, if you say it loud enough, people
will hear. Stop keeping the cards close to your
chest. Share your ideas. Share the stuff. That
someone will take your idea doesn't mean he's
going to steal it. And you know what? And if
he's going to steal it, you can actually learn
from him and to see how he can improve it from
there more. So to share with people, it will
actually bring more people closer to you. And
then because they will share with you and it
will create much stronger. And you'll create,
you become more interested person that people
are actually waiting to see you because they
want to see, okay, what is the next thing he
was thinking about? What is the new crazy idea
he came up with? So be, again, if you have unique
idea, show it, be unique, be yourself. Be authentic.
Okay, Andre, this was fantastic. Like I said,
we could probably talk about things for the next
two or three hours and not get bored. But if
somebody wanted to talk to you, hire you, even
consult with you, what's the best way for them
to get hold of you? LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the
best way. Okay. So what a conversation. Today
wasn't about ADHD. It wasn't just about AI. It
was about finally owning how you're wired and
using it. to better build relationships, better
systems, and better results. If your mind moves
fast, if this episode gave you permission to
