  • ADHD and Innovation- Douglas M. Katz on the Tools That Fit Us

    ADHD and Innovation- Douglas M. Katz on the Tools That Fit Us
    Mar 18 2026
    Our guest today Douglas Katz is a West Point graduate, disabled Army veteran, inventor, and entrepreneur. He is the creator of NULU, an adaptive kitchen knife designed to align cutting tools with human biomechanics, and continues to pursue other innovations focused on improving how people interact with everyday tools. In addition to his work as an inventor, Douglas speaks about the intersection of human capability, design, and performance. Drawing on experiences in the military, corporate leadership, and product development, he explores how physical limitations, aging, and cognitive differences influence the way people solve problems and build better tools. Living with ADHD has been both a catalyst and a challenge throughout that journey. The same nonlinear thinking and curiosity that can create headwinds in structured environments has also fueled his ability to question assumptions and see connections others overlook. Through his talks and writing, Douglas introduces audiences to ideas like the Ability Curve—the concept that human capability isn't binary but shifts across a lifetime—and how designing with that reality in mind leads to better tools, systems, and outcomes for everyone.

    The ADHD Toolkit Behind Conner Kinney's Real Estate Success Story
    Mar 11 2026
    Today we welcome Conner Kinney! He is a 22-year-old, full time real estate investor who has built a multi-seven-figure real estate business with a core focus on acquiring and scaling long-term rental properties primarily through seller-financed acquisitions. He is the founder of his own real estate company, Kinney Property Group, and currently owns a 37 unit rental portfolio with over 10M+ in completed real estate transactions. In high school, Conner struggled with ADHD and was often told it was a disadvantage.

  • Matt Canning Creator of Your Chaos Management App: NoPlex

    Matt Canning Creator of Your Chaos Management App: NoPlex
    Oct 22 2025

    Today we welcome Matt Canning! A Philadelphia-based technologist, entrepreneur, ex-Fortune 50 executive, and author who founded NoPlex, which empowers individuals struggling with ADHD and anxiety to thrive in a neurotypical world. Matt has a 12-year-old daughter who struggles with ADHD, and her challenges (and the clear gaps in everyday tools for people with ADHD) are what drove him to develop NoPlex. NoPlex turned out to be huge for individuals who struggle with anxiety as well as neurotypical folks, leading to the conclusion that the pace and complexity of life in general have made it such that ADHD-focused tools are applicable for people of all walks of life. This has been atop his pursuits since he was unexpectedly diagnosed in his late 30s. Today we're talking about his journey, chaos and breaking the stigma- Enjoy!
