- The Volatile Gift: Rethinking ADHD with Dr. Ned Hallowell
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, world-renowned psychiatrist and ADHD expert Dr. Ned Hallowell challenges everything we think we know about attention, learning, and human potential. Drawing from decades of clinical experience — and his own life with ADHD — Dr. Hallowell reframes ADHD not simply as a disorder, but as a complex condition that can become a profound strength when understood and supported. He shares stories from his childhood, his work with children and families, and the mentors who helped shape his path, illustrating how encouragement, imagination, and the right environment can change the course of a life. Together, the hosts and Dr. Hallowell explore: Why ADHD is so often misunderstood The role of environment, stimulation, and love in helping children thrive Medication myths and what the science actually says The emotional toll ADHD can take — and its extraordinary potential How educators and parents can help transform struggle into strength At the heart of the conversation is a hopeful message: ADHD is not simply a deficit. With the right support, it can become a powerful asset — a “volatile gift” that, when nurtured, can lead to creativity, resilience, and remarkable achievement. This episode invites educators, parents, and anyone living with ADHD to rethink what it means to learn differently — and to see the possibility where others too often see limitation.

- Episode 501: RECAST - Understanding ADHD and Neurodiversity in Business with Dr. Ned Hallowell
Welcome back to another episode of The Above the Business Podcast with Bradley Hamner. Today, we're revisiting a conversation that continues to resonate with entrepreneurs and business leaders everywhere—the impact of neurodiversity, specifically ADHD, on business owners. Bradley sits down with Dr. Ned Hallowell, a New York Times bestselling author who has written over 20 books on psychological topics. Dr. Hallowell's groundbreaking Distraction series, which began with Driven to Distraction (co-authored with Dr. John Ratey in 1994), sparked a revolution in how we understand ADHD—and that conversation remains just as relevant today. The Hidden Signs You Might Be Missing In this episode, Bradley and Dr. Hallowell dive into the telltale signs that often go unrecognized: unexplained underperformance despite your best efforts, constant "if only" thoughts that keep you stuck in regret cycles, and an inability to stay focused on work you find too simple or routine. If these experiences sound all too familiar, Dr. Hallowell recommends pursuing a medical diagnosis—not as a label, but as a pathway to understanding and optimization. The Elusive "State of Flow" One of the most powerful concepts they explore is the "state of flow"—those magical moments and hours when you're firing on all cylinders and deeply productive. For many adults with ADHD, accessing this state feels frustratingly out of reach, leaving them unable to achieve goals they know they're capable of reaching. The Strengths Within the Difference But here's the good news that remains as true now as ever: ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity don't need to hinder your goals. Dr. Hallowell's mission is to educate and celebrate these differences, highlighting the unique strengths they can provide. By breaking down barriers of stigma and misunderstanding, he shows how all of us benefit from the cognitive diversity in our teams and communities. Whether you're an entrepreneur struggling to understand your own brain, or a leader looking to better support neurodivergent team members, this conversation offers insights that can transform how you work and lead.

- ADD and Addiction with Dr. Ned Hallowell
I'm so happy to speak with Dr. Nick Hallowell, a renowned board-certified child, and adult psychiatrist and the world's leading expert on ADHD. He graduated from Harvard College and Tulane Medical School and was a faculty member at Harvard Medical School for 21 years. He founded the Hallowell ADHD centers in several major US cities and has helped thousands of individuals with ADHD lead happy and productive lives. Dr. Hallowell is also a New York Times best-selling author, having written 20 books on various psychological topics, and has appeared on several popular TV shows, including 20/20, 60 Minutes, and Oprah. In this conversation, we discuss the relationship between ADHD and addiction, including how ADHD, dyslexia, and addiction can be markers of talent and even lead to superpowers. We talk about the misinformation, stigma, and fear surrounding getting treatment. Dr. Hallowell defines dyslexia and ADHD. We also discuss some of the upsides of having ADHD, especially when it is well-managed. The final message is that people need to learn the truth about getting treatment, as it can significantly improve their lives. [03:27] Dr Hallowell sees ADHD, dyslexia, and addiction are markers of talent. He's seen tremendous talent in the thousands and thousands of people he's treated over the years. [04:29] He sees these more as traits, and when managed properly, they become super powers. [05:21] Dr Hallowell talks about the misinformation, stigma, and fear that surrounds getting treatment. The diagnosis and treatment should be stories of good news. [08:21] Dyslexia is being slow to read and spell your native language. [11:27] ADHD causes problems with executive function like planning and organizing. [12:15] The upside of ADHD is being creative, entrepreneurial, intuitive, visionary, and more. It's having a race car brain and bicycle brakes. It's not a deficit of attention. It's an abundance of attention. [13:37] When people have ADHD, their brains go really fast like a Ferrari. [15:21] Dr Hallowell has ADHD himself, and he's treated thousands of people for ADHD. He also has medical credentials. [17:37] There isn't a center devoted for people who have addiction and ADHD. [19:41] Getting ADHD treated would enable those people to get more done with less effort. [20:16] People need to learn the truth about getting treatment, because it's a good thing. After diagnosis, your life will get better. [20:46] ADHD is frequently misdiagnosed.

- Episode 101: ADHD 2.0 with Dr. Ned Hallowell
Bradley sits down with Ned Hallowell to discuss the impact of neurodiversity, specifically ADHD, on business owners. Dr. Hallowell is a New York Times bestselling author and has written 20 books on multiple psychological topics. The groundbreaking Distraction series, which began with Driven to Distraction , co-authored with Dr. John Ratey in 1994, sparked a revolution in understanding of ADHD. In this episode, they discuss unexplained underperformance, constant “if only” thoughts, and inability to stay focused on work you find too simple. Ned recommends pursuing a medical diagnosis if these things sound all too familiar. Ned and Bradley also discussed a “state of flow.” This term is used to describe those moments and hours when you’re highly productive. Being unable to get into “flow,” and feeling unable to achieve your goals, is something that many adults with ADHD experience. The good news is that ADHD, and other neuro-diversities, don't need to hinder your goals! Ned seeks to educate and celebrate these differences, and the strengths they can provide. In doing so, he hopes to break down barriers of stigma and misunderstanding and show how all of us benefit from the differences between us.

In this episode, I am excited to welcome back Dr. Ned Hallowell back on the show, this time we are talking about his new book ADHD 2.0. We do a deep dive into a couple of key areas in his book: Why he likes to change the name from ADHD to VAST (Variable Attention Stimulus Trait), he explains why we do not have a deficit of attention. How if we manage ADHD it can enhance our lives and can become your superpower. The main focus of this episode is Dr. Ned’s explanation of the regions of the brain called Task Positive Network and Default Mode Network and when these regions are not working effectively we go into extreme negative self-talk. He talks about a few simple but effective ways of managing negative self-talk. Towards the end of this episode, he talks about the importance of the cerebellum in the brain that occupies only 10% of brain volume but has 70% of the neurons in the brain and its connection to the executive functions of the brain. Also, stay tuned to the end as Dr. Ned continues to share some amazing gold in our wrap-up conversation. I highly recommend his new book ADHD 2.0, it is truly a simple but yet effective guide to better understand ADHD and effective ways to manage it.

This book provided so much insight and clarity into my ADHD and for the first time, I didn’t feel alone in my head. Since then I have been listening to his podcast and continuing to follow his work on ADHD. I am super excited to share this episode with you and truly grateful that he accepted my invitation to come to my show. We talked about how to adjust to new working conditions Ie. working from home. He talked about the importance of creating meaningful connections. The value of working with a coach to manage your ADHD, to disclose or not about your ADHD in the workplace, and finally his point of view on what steps to take if you have been diagnosed late in life with ADHD.

- Driven to Succeed...A Conversation with Dr. Ned Hallowell
Be it the troubled minds, young and old, that commit mass shootings, the incredible and successful talents that commit suicide, or those that seek solace in alcohol or opiates, mental illness is all around us. What’s encouraging is that we are finally talking about it. Not enough and not openly enough. But remember back in the 50’s there was a reluctance to even talk about cancer. Times change. And one of the things that precipitates that change is the courage of individuals that are willing to come forward and tell their story. Suddenly when we see our friends, neighbors, even our doctors and other people like us, reveal all, suddenly that shroud falls away sunlight does it’s job. Edward Hallowell, one of our most distinguished psychiatrists and a leading authority in the field of ADHD, has now pulled back the curtain on his own life to reveal a story of dysfunction, hope and ultimately of survival and success. He shares the story with me and in his new memoir Because I Come from a Crazy Family: The Making of a Psychiatrist . My conversation with Ned Hallowell:

- Race Car Brains with Bicycle Brakes: Dr. Ned Hallowell on ADHD in a Distracting World
Dr. Ned Hallowell is a child and adult psychiatrist, a New York Times bestselling author, and among the world's leading experts in the field of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He's written numerous books about ADHD and modern distraction, including Driven to Distraction , Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder , Worry: Controlling it and Using it Wisely , and others. Dr. Hallowell points out that those with ADHD possess what he calls a "race car brain," capable of brilliance and great creativity, but without an understanding of how to control and train minds with ADHD, it can result in chaos and havoc. Dr. Hallowell offers insight on the spectrum of ADHD, and the misuse of the diagnosis. In the age of digital distraction, a great many of us struggle to focus on tasks and goals. While his advice primarily focuses on helping people with ADHD to regain control of their minds and their lives, much of what he recommends can be helpful to chaotic, distracted, minds of all kinds.
