Catching up with André Brisson: Why, How, and What to Do Growing up Being Told You Are Broken

Having #ADD or #ADHD is a gift, not a curse. Hear from people all around the globe, from every walk of life, in every profession, from Rock Stars to CEOs, from Teachers to Politicians, who have learned how to unlock the gifts of their #ADD and #ADHD diagnosis, and use it to their personal and professional advantage, to build businesses, become millionaires, or simply better their lives.    Our Guest today is André Brisson, host of The Impulsive Thinker Podcast, the podcast for the high achieving #ADHD entrepreneur. Andre owns a consulting engineering company and recently started Tactical Breakthroughs where he is developing the ADHD Transformation Journey program. Diagnosed late in life with severe #ADHD and mild Asperger’s (#ASD), the mechanisms and systems he created to overcome his undiagnosed ADHD have helped him achieve success. André has a special ability for learning complex information and simplifying it to help others to solve complex problems. He currently operates three successful companies, including a self-managing entrepreneurial engineering firm specializing in niche markets that require unique training, experience, and impulsive instinct to try new things.    Enjoy!    [You are now safely here]   00:00 - Thank you again so much for listening and for subscribing!!   01:02 -  Life updates with Andre   02:00 - How is #neurodiversity treating you?   03:09 - Avoiding complications   04:34 - Emotional wounds vs physical wounds with #ADHD   06:19 - Communicating with assertiveness   07:47 - Growing up being told you are “broken”   08:20 - Getting in trouble for how things get done, not the end result   09:00 - How do you break old habits?   11:00 - Having teenage girls who are getting older    11:58 - Learning how to ask for help   13:05 - Advocating for his daughter    14:10 - A new way to problem solve    15:25 - Formulas and distrust.    16:20 - Brainstorming without action    18:06 - You need to understand why    Connect with André on: Facebook: @André Brisson LInkedIn: @André Brisson, P.
