She’s also the founder of The Singing Striders - a choir that specialises in performing at running events. An idea that (in true ADHD fashion) she started on a whim at the end of 2023 but snowballed fast. In 2023 The Singing Striders performed at the London Marathon, London Landmarks Half Marathon and Great Manchester Run. Her latest business venture Pet Icons - involves selling pictures of peoples’ pets dressed up as famous icons (hamster in a Doctor Who outfit anyone?). Janet has been podcasting for around a decade and has published more than a thousand podcast episodes. She’s also a keynote speaker who has spoken on big stages all over the world including The Youpreneur Summit (London), CMA Live (Edinburgh), Inbound (Boston, USA). Janet plays the piano, sings, runs and talks to her three cats (although not at the same time). She’s also the mum of a teenage daughter and is a long-suffering ‘football widow’. And is also a qualified England Athletics run leader - and the event director of her local parkrun (as if she didn’t have enough to do already!).  Connect with Janet Murray:  Website: https://www.janetmurray.co.uk  Instagram: https://instagram.com/janmurrayuk  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janet-murray74/  What’s your biggest challenge in navigating ADHD as a smart creative?
