In this episode, we sit down with Joel Olympio, co-founder of The Focus Co., a startup born from his personal journey with ADHD and neurodivergence. Joel shares how his curiosity, passion for product design, and lived experience adapting to environments not built for brains like his led to both a thriving company and a PhD focused on reclaiming attention for everyone. We explore his early coping strategies, the intersection of entrepreneurship and neurodivergence, and the emotional growth required to thrive as a founder. A conversation full of insight, resilience, and real-world wisdom for anyone navigating life a little differently.
