Episode 100: Becoming an Empowered ADHD Entrepreneur with Alex Partridge
With awareness and knowledge comes power.
It's difficult to have perspective and make change when we aren't aware of why we're behaving the way we do and understanding our self-sabotaging actions. My guest this week is now empowered by his recent ADHD diagnosis and is using his new awareness to step into his next entrepreneurial chapter and lead with more intuitiveness and self-trust.
This week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast guest is Alex Partridge, one of the pioneers of social media content the way we know it today. At age 21, he founded UNILAD and LADBible, two of the world's most popular social news and entertainment Internet companies, with an astonishing following of 100 million people around the globe. At 34 years old, Alex was diagnosed with ADHD and has quickly become a leading voice on social media around neurodiversity. He is now the host of the epic ADHD Chatter Podcast.
