In this episode, I sit down with James to have a raw, wide-ranging conversation about fatherhood, neurodiversity, and what it really looks like to lead, parent, and build businesses when your brain doesn’t switch off.We unpack the unspoken fears many men carry into parenthood, especially neurodivergent men, from anxiety spirals and emotional overload to the pressure of “having to get it right” once a child arrives. We explore why so much of this fear isn’t unique to neurodiversity at all, but simply part of becoming a dad, and why men rarely talk about it.The conversation moves into leadership and entrepreneurship, covering practical strategies for running teams without burning out, empowering staff instead of micromanaging, and why buying back your time isn’t about working less, but working differently. We dive into using VAs, decision fatigue, output-based leadership, and how neurodivergent founders can design systems that actually work for their brains.We also explore public speaking, performance anxiety, and the internal dialogue many neurodivergent people live with, including powerful insights around managing intrusive thoughts, emotional spirals, and learning to separate “you” from your brain.This episode is honest, reflective, and deeply practical.If you’re a parent, a founder, a leader, or someone navigating neurodiversity in adulthood, this conversation will resonate.
