“I stumbled across the Faster Than Normal podcast a few months ago, after finally finding out that I had ADHD in my late 30s. This podcast really is essential listening, especially for anyone new to the idea of having ADHD.
I found FTN to be the perfect antidote to all the negative ADHD hype floating around out there. Getting formally diagnosed with ADHD, after a lifetime of confusion and curveballs, solved some huge life mysteries for me but it also raised thousands of extra questions. The studies & literature I was reading all focused on the negatives - how ADHD impedes us. And most therapy suggestions were designed to mitigate the symptoms & traits as much as possible, essentially saying that the more we could suppress the ADHD and make it go away the more successful we’d be. I could recognise the negative effects in my own life, for sure, but I was also dead certain that without my rampant ADHD traits a lot of my best adventures and proudest achievements and happiest moments would never have happened either. So I wanted to find out about the other side of the coin: the potential positives and strengths. I wanted stories on how other people were actively leveraging their ADHD traits to achieve amazing things.
Somewhere in there, I did a simple podcast search for the word “ADHD” and found myself listening to a random episode of Faster Than Normal and it was like brain candy. Not just any candy, the fizzy popping crackling stuff that makes your neck hairs rise and your scalp tingle. These strangers on the podcast were describing my thoughts and my life. As a newly diagnosed adult ADHDer, binging madly through all the back episodes, I found that I was immersed in such a fascinating (and often hilarious) litany of honest ADHD success stories that it was impossible NOT to develop a positive mindset about this thing that I had. It also nipped any possible feelings of shame about my diagnosis in the bud. That grounding of positivity and optimism about my ADHD and its strengths has stuck with me ever since.
Highly recommend. (And fellow ADHDers with playback speed cranked up - you can dial it back to 1x for this one, trust me.)”

“As the mom of an elementary-school-aged kid with ADHD, I can only hope that someday he’ll grow up to accomplish even half of what Peter Shankman has done. Listening to this podcast will show us what’s possible.”
