Contractor Evolution | Is ADHD a Superpower? - Peter Shankman
Register for Build Show LIVE 2025 HERE
In ten years of working with contractors, I’ve noticed that a LOT of entrepreneurs have ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity (in my case, dyslexia). It’s both our biggest strength, and our biggest weakness. And the data backs this up. Studies show as much as 10% of adults have an ADHD diagnosis, and there’s some data suggesting that people with ADHD are statistically more likely to pursue entrepreneurship. Chances are, you have or know someone who has ADHD. In your family, in your network or on your team. That’s why I wanted to talk to Peter Shankman, entrepreneur, author, and advocate for neurodiversity. He’s best known for his book Faster Than Normal, where he reframes ADHD as a superpower. Today, that’s exactly what we’re talking about. What ADHD actually is, how to manage it, and how to work with people who move a little faster than normal. Peter is raw and real, which is why I absolutely loved our conversation. Check it out at the link below.BTA222
