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 Emily Gironda. Emily has 20 years of teaching and instructional design experience. She began her education career in high school English classrooms, specializing in teaching writing and metacognition (that is thinking about one’s own thinking.) Emily’s expertise extends to curriculum development, including programs for gifted and neurodivergent learners at the University of Virginia.
