On this episode of Good Business, Clay Vaughan talks with Jake Brown, Leadership Coach and Author of Leader Shit. With humor and raw honesty, Jake shares what its like to lead with ADHD and how neurodiversity has shaped his leadership style, decision-making and team dynamics.
They unpack why emotional intelligence, not just strategy, separates effective leaders from overwhelmed ones, and why honest self-awareness is the most underused tool in business. Jake offers real-world insight into executive function, self-leadership and how to thrive in fast-paced environments without masking who you are.
If you are a founder, team lead, or creative navigating leadership and neurodiversity, this conversation offers both empathy and actionable wisdom.
