  • Episode 98: Leaning All the Way In – The Final Episode
    Feb 6 2025

    After 98 episodes, The Rocket Ship Founder Podcast is coming to a close—but this is just the beginning of something new. In this final episode, I reflect on my journey as a late-diagnosed ADHD entrepreneur and how embracing my ADHD has transformed my approach to business and life.


    I share:

    ✅ Why getting diagnosed at 54 changed everything for me

    ✅ How I transitioned from working with startup founders to ADHD entrepreneurs

    ✅ The power of making decisive choices instead of staying stuck in indecision

    ✅ What’s next—my new podcast, ADHD Entrepreneur Accelerator, launching in late February/early March


    If you’ve ever felt like your brain works differently and you’re trying to build a business that works with it (not against it), this episode is for you.

  • Ep. 97 Why Having ADHD Doesn't Make You A Great Entrepreneur
    Dec 20 2024

    I've been a bit hesitant to push send on this one.

    You see, there's been a number of research studies* showing that ADHD brains are, depending on the study, between 2x and 5x more likely to become entrepreneurs.

    I often cite this research in things I put out in my content. But there's one question that I consistently get back, that deserves an answer:

    "Does ADHD make you a great entrepreneur?"

    Based on my research and my own experience, the answer is...yes and no.

    Yes, ADHD super powers can make you more likely to embrace doing your own thing and being an entrepreneur.

    But also, no because it's challenges can keep you from succeeding to the degree you know you can.

    In this week's Rocket Ship Founder podcast episode I go through the pluses and minuses of being an ADHD entrepreneur:

    • How ADHD superpowers help you get launched

    • Why those same superpowers can turn into entrepreneurial kryptonite.

    • How to leverage the strengths and avoid the pitfalls to give you the best chance of success.

  • Ep. 96 The 3 Offers Every B2B Business Needs to Thrive
    Dec 5 2024

    Key Takeaways from This Episode:


    Core Idea:

    Customers don’t buy our product or service—they buy our offer. An offer is a promise to solve an urgent pain within a specific timeframe for a specific cost. Products and services? They’re just the tools we use to deliver on that promise.

    Your Business as a Stack of Offers:

    A thriving B2B business only needs three key offers:

    1. Core Offer – The cornerstone of your business, the main product or service you’re built around.

    2. Hand Raiser Offer – A lead magnet or freebie valuable enough for someone with your target pain to share their contact info.

    3. Customer ID Offer – Designed to identify those ready to take the next step with you.

    Make Every Offer a No-Brainer:

    Success lies in creating offers that are stupidly compelling to the right customer.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


    1. Why your Core Offer is the foundation of your business.

    2. The essential element that ties all three offers together.

    3. How to design a simple system to consistently get your offers in front of the right people daily.


    This quick 14-minute episode will give you a framework to simplify your business and grow strategically in 2025.
