Listen "125. Peter Shankman and ADHD Guardrails"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Peter Shankman from New York City. Peter is a single father of one daughter, a globally renowned keynote speaker, bestselling author, and entrepreneur. He shares how he grew up undiagnosed with ADHD, the challenges he faced in traditional education, and how understanding his neurodiversity later in life transformed his perspective and success. Peter emphasizes that neurodiverse individuals aren’t broken—they’re gifted. The key is learning how to channel those gifts, both as children and adults, to unlock unlimited potential. Our conversation explores the impact of supportive environments versus those that misunderstand or suppress neurodiverse traits. Peter discusses practical strategies for thriving with ADHD, such as establishing routines, using technology, and setting up “guardrails” to manage impulsivity and maintain focus. The episode highlights the advantages of homeschooling for neurodiverse children, including the flexibility to nurture unique interests and learning styles.
