Episode 161: Navigating ADHD Entrepreneurship with Clarity and Purpose [featuring Corey Wilks)

In this episode, I talked with Dr. Corey Wilks, a licensed clinical psychologist and executive coach, about aligning life achievements with personal values and some of the unique challenges neurodivergent entrepreneurs face, particularly those with ADHD.

3 Key Takeaways:

  1. Align with Your Core Values: Corey emphasizes the importance of ensuring your life's work and business are aligned with your core values. This approach reduces regret and fosters genuine fulfillment. Remember the Stoic concept of "Memento Mori" – using the awareness of life's finitude to inspire living fully.
  2. Turn Someday into Today: Instead of procrastinating and waiting for the "right time," start acting on your aspirations now. We discussed the necessity of transforming "someday" goals into actions, integrating values-aligned decisions into both life and work.
  3. Leverage Procrastination Positively: Don't let perfectionism or analysis paralysis stop you. Reframe procrastination as a strength to generate pressure and meet deadlines efficiently. Use strategies like preselling to validate ideas and create accountability, ensuring you're working on projects with real market interest.

About the Podcast

All Things Private Practice Podcast
Honest conversations about building a business while Autistic, ADHD, or both — the self-doubt, the chaos, and everything in between.
A podcast for neurodivergent entrepreneurs and mental health professionals who want to build a business, life, and body of work that actually fits how their brain operates. Through honest interviews and real conversations, Patrick Casale explores entrepreneurship, identity, burnout, overcoming self doubt, creativity, visibility, and sustainable success with neurodivergent business owners, creators, and leaders.
Host Patrick Casale is an AuDHD, a licensed therapist, and an entrepreneur who has built multiple businesses by doing it through imperfect action — which didn't always look pretty, and wasn't always comfortable. These conversations don't sanitize that. They go into the self-doubt, the burnout, the late diagnoses, the moments of "what the hell am I doing," and the stubborn refusal to quit anyway. Guests are therapists, coaches, consultants, and business owners who are Autistic, ADHD, or both — people who've figured out that the conventional path was never going to work for them and built something better in its place.
