Episode 66: Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs (Part 2): The Psychology of Entrepreneurship [featuring Corey Wilks]
Entrepreneurship can on the surface appear to bring the promise of freedom and autonomy, but it also comes with unique psychological challenges that many neurodivergent entrepreneurs struggle to navigate.
In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, talk with Dr. Corey Wilks, a psychologist and executive coach, about the intersection of psychology, entrepreneurship, and core values.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Discover how to leverage the "availability paradox" to make more intentional choices, allowing you to prioritize opportunities that align with your values and long-term goals.
- Using real-life examples, understand the concept of “memento mori” and pursuing long-term fulfillment and meaningful work, even if it doesn't feel good on a daily basis.
- Uncover the importance of core values in preventing burnout and achieving long-term fulfillment, especially for neurodivergent individuals, with practical tips on how to identify and stay aligned with your values.
If you choose to pursue entrepreneurship, consider how aligning your work with your core values could enhance your fulfillment and satisfaction.
