Podcast appearances and mentions of Jesse J Anderson

If you've ever thought, “Why can't I just do the things?”—this conversation is for you. In this episode, I'm joined by Jesse J. Anderson—also known as @ADHDJesse—author of the bestselling book Extra Focus: The Quick Start Guide to Adult ADHD. Jesse shares what it was like to be diagnosed in adulthood, how undiagnosed ADHD impacted his career and relationships, and what changed when he started working with his brain instead of against it. We talk about: The real signs of adult ADHD that often get missed (especially in high-functioning adults) Workplace strategies for ADHD professionals and how to advocate for what you need The emotional impact of late diagnosis and how to move from shame to radical acceptance The ADHD tax and why systems need to change—not just us Why self-compassion and humor might be the most powerful ADHD tools of all This isn't just theory. Jesse brings lived experience, practical strategies, and deep validation for anyone trying to succeed in a world that wasn't built for your brain.

In this week's episode, we're focusing on focus, pun intended! Joining me is Risely Coach Megan Baumley, who also works outside of Risely as a speech-language pathologist. Between 4-5% of adults in the US are believed to have Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and yet fewer than 20% of them are diagnosed and treated, with women often going undiagnosed. In today's episode, Coach Meg shares practical tips for how to use your unique executive function strengths to support our T1D management. Abby and Meg also discuss topics like the nervous system, repurposing time, offloading, task initiation, and the benefits of working with a coach as a T1D with ADHD. Time Stamps:  (03:51) Statistics on ADHD Diagnosis (05:23) Impact of ADHD and Working Memory (08:01) “How can you use your executive function strengths in your T1D management?”(10:45) Daily Type 1 Diabetes Management Challenges(13:33) “Repurposing Time” (15:21) Offloading Information (18:14) Importance Vs.

We can embrace a variety of strategies for coping with ADHD, while acknowledging that what works may change over time or depending on the situation.Prospective memory is our ability to remember to remember - and so with our ADHD it can be struggle not only to remember what we need to remember, but even that there is something that needs to be remembered. There are a variety of solutions we can try to help with this such as physical reminders, our calendars, and alarms on our phones.It's important that we acknowledge and address the shame often associated with ADHD. ADHD is hard and having difficulties with ADHD is not your fault. However, we still need to take responsibility for finding and implementing coping strategies.

Jesse J. Anderson's journey to bookdom is unlike any other guest I've had on the show. For one, he's not launching a book to help build his business. Also, that book—Refocus: A Practical Guide to Adult ADHD—hasn't launched yet. In fact, he hasn't even finished writing it. Why, then, you may ask, would I have him on the show? Well, Jesse has also built up an impressive Twitter following by releasing Twitter threads of book chapters—a topic we dive into in detail. When he's not writing books in public, Jesse is a designer and developer who has made it his mission to help others better understand what ADHD really is.FOR MORE ABOUT THE PODCAST AND OTHER STUFF, GO TO WWW.ONGOODAUTHORITYPOD.COM.

In this episode, Eric is joined by Jesse J. Anderson, a.k.a @ADHDJesse.  Jesse is a writer, speaker, developer, and content creator who was diagnosed with ADHD at 36.  He is the co-founder of Polar Habits, a guilt-free habit app, and he writes a weekly newsletter called Extra Focus.  He is the author (rather, soon-to-be-author!) of Refocus: Thriving with Adult ADHD.  He also has two podcasts and more!  You'll hear about leaning into mistakes, what Polar Habits is all about, how breaking a ‘streak' of habits doesn't undo your progress, and how changing our environments can impact our habits.   Then, you'll hear more about habits, perfectionism, prioritization, and the importance of being vulnerable while having a curious and non-judgemental mindset.  Finally, you'll hear Jesse fill us in about his creative writing process and what prompted him to start writing his book.  Timestamps coming soon!  Resources: Find Jesse on Twitter and Instagram as @ADHDJesse  Jesse's Website: Adhdjesse.com    Get Jesse's newsletter & the waiting list for his book at ExtraFocus.com   Polar Habits at polarhabits.com   Podcast: ADHD Nerds   Honorable Mentions: Tool: Llama Life   ADHD reWired episode #47 - ADHD at 55 MPH   ADHD reWired episode #453 with Marie Ng   Book: Change Your Questions, Change Your Life by Marilee G. Adams   “So much of managing ADHD is just like learning my patterns, and then trying to build systems around catching those patterns.” - Jesse  “...one of the most important ingredients of a good coachee [is] curiosity [...] That's gold.  If you have a non-judgemental curiosity towards how things are going, you're going to figure it all out.  It just takes time.”  - Eric

We know it's ok to be weird. And it's nice to know we're not alone. Jesse J. Anderson helps us feel seen and reminds us that sharing makes this journey so much better.

Do you want to listen and learn from a positive guy who has ADHD and parents an ADHD child? Jesse J Anderson is an ADHD'er himself, an ADHD Advocate, ADHD Creative, and Parent of an ADHD kid. He is a bright light in the ADHD world full of encouragement and wisdom for us all.

Jesse J. Anderson's journey to bookdom is unlike any other guest I've had on the show.  For one, he's not launching a book to help build his business.  Also, that book—Refocus: A Practical Guide to Adult ADHD—hasn't launched yet. In fact, he hasn't even finished writing it.  Why, then, you may ask, would I have him on the show?  Well, part of the reason is entirely selfish: he's writing a book in public and I want to write my next book in public so this is simply a shameless attempt to get some intel.  If you're wondering what "writing a book in public" even means, you may want to go back to the Rob Fitzpatrick episode, where he breaks down the process he documents in his book, Write Useful Books. If you don't have that kind of time, I'll tell you: it's essentially getting feedback from your readers while you're writing the book. Jesse is in fact doing it using software Rob designed for that very process and, as of this recording, he's about three-quarters of the way done with writing.  Jesse has also built up an impressive Twitter following by releasing Twitter threads of book chapters—a topic he dove into in detail.  When he's not writing books in public, Jesse is a designer and developer who has made it his mission to help others better understand what ADHD really is.  WANT 4 QUICK TIDBITS EVERY THURSDAY TO HELP YOU GET YOUR BOOK LAUNCHED?

We kick Season 5 off with a celebration of ADHD. We wanted to understand more about this neurodiversity; with so many of our friends being diagnosed in their 30's and 40's, we were aware of what a life changing pivot this news can be. We speak to Jesse J Anderson, an ADHD'er with a generous and informative story to tell about his experience of this pivot in his life. Diagnosed at the age of 36, he now shares his findings of the way his brain works with the world with his ever increasing TikTok, Insta and Twitter audiences. He is also writing a book with the ADHD community called 'Refocus'. We learned: 1. 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder' is a highly paradoxical name: your attention is actually on overload - you see and hear everything intensely. You are not decificent in attention! hyperactivity is the myth of the naughty boy throwing chairs in the primary school. Actually ADHD'ers are prone to hyperFOCUS when they are interested in something. 2. Because of missed diagnosis ADHD'ers are prone to addiction, due to a misfiring of their dopamine levels. unemployment, because their interest levels are not sustain sufficiently. 3. Given the right tasks and opportunity ADHD'ers can be the most productive people on the planet. We've never asked this so deliberately before but - PLEASE listen to this episode - you are VERY likely have close colleagues and friends who have ADHD, and it can be the super power they never knew they had. Spread the word. Celebrate neurodiversity. And marvel at Jesse's wonderful demeanour.
