How to Use ADHD Medication Strategically as a Business Owner
ADHD-ish Blog: There's a narrative that's been given to those of us with ADHD for decades, and it sounds deceptively simple: ADHD means your attention system is broken, and stimulant medication—Ritalin, Adderall, Vyvanse—fixes it.

But today, I want to pull back the curtain on what's really happening in our brains when we take these medications, and more importantly, what that means for us as entrepreneurs. Understanding why neurodiversity is good for business starts with accurate information about ADHD medication and how our brains actually work.
