Managing ADHD during the pandemic | Guest Peter Shankman
Back in June of 2020, I interviewed Peter Shankman, host of the “Faster than Normal” Podcast and he shared some great insights on how he is managing his fast brain during the pandemic.
I like to apologize in advance for the sound quality which is why I was hesitating to even publish this episode but I really think what Peter shared was important for all of us to listen to and especially now which is almost the end of 2020.
About Peter Shankman:
The New York Times has called Peter Shankman “a rockstar who knows everything about social media and then some.” He is a 5x best-selling author, entrepreneur and corporate keynote speaker, focusing on customer service and the new and emerging customer and neurotypical economy. With three startup launches and exits under his belt, Peter is recognized worldwide for radically new ways of thinking about the customer experience, social media, PR, marketing, advertising, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the new Neurodiverse Economy)
In addition to his passion for helping people and companies find success, some of Peter’s highlights also include:
• Founder of HARO – Help A Reporter Out, which became the standard for thousands of journalists looking for sources prior to being acquired three years after launch
• The ShankMinds Breakthrough Network, an elite, online mastermind of thought leaders, business experts, and change-makers
• Faster than Normal – The Internet’s #1 podcast on ADHD, focusing on the superpowers and gifts of having a “faster than normal brain,” which has helped thousands of people all around the world realize that having a neurodiverse brain is actually a gift, not a curse.
Peter is a worldwide influencer and/or spokesperson for several global brands including Sylvania Lighting, National Car Rental, Manscaped.com, Thule, and many others.
Finally, Peter is a father, a 2x Ironman triathlete, a class B licensed skydiver, and has a pretty serious Peloton addiction. When he’s not traveling around the world speaking to companies big and small, he’s based in NYC with his six-year-old daughter and 19-year-old cat, both of whom consistently refuse him access to the couch.

Managing ADHD with Medication | Guest Dr. Sarah Cheyette
It’s one thing to digest and go through the emotions of a late in life diagnosis of Adult ADHD but then comes the big question of “should I take meds or not?”. I have heard so many different viewpoints of ADHD medication from – it’s a big pharma conspiracy, it takes away your creativity, they don’t work, I am scared to try them, to they have been the best thing for me and this list goes on.
So I decided to bring on an expert in this field and have a candid conversation about ADHD and medication. In the episode, Dr. Sarah Cheyette paints a very clear picture of this topic. From when you could consider meds and ADHD to why it may not work for some and works well for others. I could have talked to her for hours on this topic as she is a wealth of knowledge.
So if you are considering and have questions about Medication and ADHD treatment this episode is a must listen to.

430 | So You Want to be a Professional Creative? with Lorin Devine
In this episode, Eric is joined by Lorin Devine, who grew up in the cornfields of rural Illinois and has been driven to create, explore, and forge her own way. In adulthood, she struggled to find footing in a world where she felt like she never quite fit. In 2014, Lorin entered the world of tattooing. Then, after 4 years in a busy walk-in studio, she left Illinois to spend 18 months on the road as a guest in more than 25 tattoo studios throughout the U.S. and Europe. Halting travel in 2020 led to an ADHD diagnosis, and a framework to understand years of straining to conform to a neurotypical world. Lorin is now based out in Portland, Oregon, where she is creating illustrative black and gray tattoos in a private studio. Finding support in the ADHD community and the autonomy to curate her tattoo practice towards supporting a neurodivergent brain has empowered her to create the best possible work for her clients. In this episode, you’ll hear discussions about being categorized as a gifted child, the impact of creating a working environment that works for us, and the importance of community. Then, you’ll get to listen in on real-time coaching where you’ll hear about tips & tricks to go from time-blind to time-wise.
