Episode 65: Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (Part 1): An Introduction
Entrepreneurship can be an attractive alternative for neurodivergent individuals to the traditional 9–5 jobs that cater to a society that is systemically structured to be more accommodating to neurotypical needs. However, being a neurodivergent entrepreneur comes with its own set of challenges and triumphs, from managing executive functioning to dealing with burnout.
In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, introduce their new series on neurodivergent entrepreneurship, as well as share their personal journeys and provide valuable insights.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Get tips on balancing the needs of different neurotypes in business, including ADHD’s need for creativity and excitement with the Autistic desire for structure to avoid burnout, as well as how to set boundaries that protect your mental health and values.
- Hear candid discussions on running a values-driven business, the moral injuries that can arise, and sustainable strategies for maintaining integrity while pursuing entrepreneurship.
- Discover the importance of failure as a data point and how adopting a value-aligned mindset can transform your entrepreneurial endeavors, especially when it comes to the continuous reevaluation of business decisions.
If you choose to pursue entrepreneurship, remember to prioritize your well-being, stay true to your values, and embrace growth through failure.
