I think it’s a huge possibility that Raleigh might be losing Red Hat Amphitheater for good. The residents of south street oppose the permanent street closure.

Wow you have no idea what y’all just did for me!!! THANK YOUUUU

My public school education started with an experimental grade school (pod system), then after 2 months of testing (and orchestra twice a week), I was told that I was gifted and started GT courses … which continued in middle school, and then I transitioned into honors courses in high school. In my first college, I was in an alternative program in which most of the courses turned out to be closer to graduate level courses. This was great for my education and personal development, but not so convenient for transferring to other schools. Although I was gifted in a lot of areas and started out with a biology/music double major, I never had proper guidance in high school & college because I knew what I wanted … yet had no idea what being a field biologist would entail. Turns out it was very challenging and perhaps a bit too heavy on memorization. Music, writing and movement were much better for me, as long as I had the proper type of courses for my brain. Now, in my 50s, I’ve finished an AFA (after earning a BS in the biological and MA in social sciences. And I just gained an adhd diagnosis this year. It feels like I’ve done things backwards and I’m not sure what I’ll do now. Hopefully, I can finish the publishing projects I’ve been working on.

Penn do you take any meds for adhd?

Wonderful insight. I have never considered that most jobs are not ADHD friendly.

I’m interested

THANK YOU for posting, this is MUST WATCH for first time founders

Adhd is a awesome brain 🧠

I'm 50 and just diagnosed with ADHD. This whole conversation could have been with me. Penn's experience, especially when he talks about high school and college was mine to a T.

You also have undiagnosed adult ADD listeners! My psychologist lifelong BFF told me 15 years ago “oh yes, you have ADD!”, it was a relief and very strangely reassuring.

I used to find history really boring until I looked at archaeology (especially relating to the bible, which if true relates to everyone personally!) It makes it so much more tangible and helps me focus and imagine myself in the story. I also found history programmes like: Who do you think you are? that related the history to celebrities families, and told it from a really personal perspective. I learned so much more this way than I could take in from books.

Sales isn't about pushing stuff on people-it's about helping them get what they need. Jed Byrne nailed it!

That’s so interesting I’m good at English and poetry and arts and I have adhd. Math and science have always been hard.

Loved the episode!

Oh my! I have 3 children with ADHD - all manifest in some way but each differently. Their other side of the family including cousins has it - I believe in their case it’s hereditary There may be some opportunity for unique employment, but employees are as regulated and by the book as teachers which is why remote is so popular with employees. My children are all professionals. My youngest started out in Art, then Interior Design, then Architecture. She struggled in Math until she got to the University and then to my surprise excelled. She had to test separately because she gets sensory overload. She almost has a Master’s in Engineering. Art and Music actually are the synchronization of Math! You would love history if you could tell it as a story! I think you should make fun RUclips videos on history. It is so important that children learn history so that they appreciate the reason behind the freedoms in this country and lack thereof in parts of the world. As a military family we made it a point to visit historical sites in our travels. Making it personal - imagine being an immigrant or soldier or child making that history come alive. Our education system is broken. Teachers are limited to how they teach and what they teach and how their classroom looks. Learning should be hands on - learning stations - projects - games - stories - Art - music - drama and more. Anyway, I could go on and on but I’m sure I’ve maybe lost your attention already. 🙃

Thank you for your podcast and the honest discussion about ADHD. I saw myself and my kids. Very relatable and real.

What a great concept impressive young man

My easy classes were history (yay for remembering dates) and English. I overcompensated so much with my English skills that a severe mathematical learning disability was not discovered until after my first attempt at my Masters. The only sciences i could understand or get into were things like Astronomy & Geology. Being female, quiet and the academic attention on others also led to me thinking I wasn't smart and capable until the test that revealed this issue. I truly believe all need to be tested to help us. I could have had a much better time in math classes in high school but i was told i needed 3 years of Algebra to do Probs and Stats- i needed that class to prep for Library Sciences. I didn't get help from the teacher in Algebra 3 even though i asked (mind you half the class was failing so it wasn't just me). Failed, ended up in Business Math to get the final math credit and I learned there was Personal Math too. Got to college and Probs and Stats was considered a lower level class... I was about the only one to enjoy it. I found the maths I'm good though. Education needs to change and testing needs to be for helping a child's career, not seen as punishment or to correct behaviour issues.

Thank you very much for this! I’m 61, and am coming to realize that I probably have ADHD (among other things), and that I really need to get tested. This explains so much for me.

I like the name EFD executive function dysregulation. It’s makes more sense to me related to what it is. Thank you for advocating, for sharing, for your positivity, and doing these videos and all that you do to help improve life for people with this! A lot of this hits home. Growing up, I was terrified of being misdiagnosed. I didn’t want to just be forcefully medicated. There are a lot of similar things people struggle with that cause them to act and or think similarly, such as dyslexia, for me personally, and dysgraphia and dyscalcula, also PTSD. Also, just adding my son also chewed his shirts and we discovered he was loosing his molars earlier than normal because of a physical trauma he had experienced (the dentist said it could’ve been caused by a physical trauma like a car accident), and his molar roots were dissolving which made him antsy and feel the need to chew. After his teeth fell out, it went away.

Honestly! Why are we not structuring schools better like this yet??! Like you said, it would help neurodivergent students And other students as well. It would be so much more effective at teaching/learning! We all hopefully know now that children learn better through movement and play and interaction, so why are schools (schools, the part of our lives meant to educate, meant to be smarter) still acting stupid and not using this knowledge to better teach? As I studied in college how to be a better teacher I was taught better ways to use this knowledge in my future classes, but when it came to student teaching and working in the schools I felt I was confined and limited again, like that ability to teach better was being ripped from me, like a band aide. I got frustrated as an aspiring teacher and even more so as a parent. We need better schools.

Wtf the mirror for

👏👏👏

A D50, that’s a synth legend! That would have been one awesome rabbit hole!

Shame is the biggest thing for me. I constantly think I should be doing better, but I can't.

Looks sweet

Sign me up to that awesome school!

I sincerely enjoyed this podcast. I am an adult with a neurodivergent brain (tourettes and maybe something else - no, it is NOT a swearing disease). This may give you an idea for your school (that does not yet exist) to teach history. Consider interactive storytelling. I am a professional storyteller and puppeteer. I teach history through storytelling, not lecture), and also with puppetry. The bits of 'trivia' that are included in the performance turn the the people from vacant to "OMG, that was a real person". In addition, there are A LOT of people who made history and were neurodivergent. As a kid history class was dreadful, as a teaching artist I want students to learn, retain, and have fun with information. So many subjects can be taught through story. I get it, my brain is atypical, so I use my atypical brain to teach in an atypical way. I created my own job as a teaching artist.

Great editing! First comment! (I wont be he last) <3

I’m in the category of “you just described my brain” when hearing my daughter diagnosed and it has explained soooo much of my life. This was a great discussion. And btw…Penn’s plan for a school curriculum sounds amazing! 😅

That light switch and the poor cutout around it behind Penn.... argh.

I think most people spend so much time and money on the building part is because they don’t want to do the actual marketing work…. They like the feeling of being BUSY and not PRODUCTIVE!

Understanding a company's goals is crucial in any branding strategy, and Michael Burger's role at iHeartRadio Raleigh seems pivotal in achieving that. The combination of radio channels and podcasts for brand exposure is brilliant. Can't wait to see how they continue to innovate!

Excellent advice from BURT.

I wonder how an ADHD person would respond to “cooperative learning”.

I’m 78. Loved listening to PH. Once worked wit kids with autism, raised and caregave for 45 years someone profoundly effected by multiple disabilities including autism, had my own struggles throughout school until I figured out my weaknesses and figured out strategies that finally got me through college. Loved hearing these insights. Thank you so much!

We basically need a daily Hunger Games/Montessori Mashup! 👍🎯😎

Business opportunity: come up with an alternative to "value add aspect" that doesn't make everyone in the room look at you like you wore lightning mcqueen crocs to a funeral.

🤭 "Promosm"

In homeschooling, the Charlotte Mason approach suggests very short (around 20 min) classes and lots of them and lots of variety. Not sure it's perfect for ADHD but that approach dates back to the 1800s!

I like all of the things that I have seen and I share them with my family and they are sick of me sharing things with them 😂😂 but it’s okay. Cuz I’m layed up in the hospital from a motorcycle accident first one and I have been riding since I was 13 😄😄 keep up the amazing video’s

Remind me when you get famous ❤

No one ever gave me a break. No one even admit that I had ADHD and Asperger's until I had 65. I figured it out -- and the jig was up.

I am 55 and was diagnosed last year. I knew for years that I probably was because I didn't know anyone that had as many hobbies as I do 😂. It explained a lot.

Yes, my son getting diagnosed led me to realize I probably have ADHD as well. It all just made sooooo much sense. I program everything into my phone with alarms and prompt. We call her Samantha and we thank her when she helps us get everything taken care of! I wish our son could continue to go to a Montessori school. It let him follow his interests, change frequently, work at his own pace, etc.

This was AMAZING!! When Penn mentioned Jessica McCabe, my heart melted!! I love her and have been watching her RUclips channel for years now. I also love it when he said talk about what you're ashamed of because this makes shame go away! This made me right away think of Brene Brown as it's what she recommends also!!

I'm Penn's age and can relate. Ive been self-employed for over a decade and it's such a relief. I work on my terms. It's so much better this way. Being someone's employee and doing what they wanted, on their schedule, felt like torture.

How can we help an adult coworker with adhd??

I'm gonna be 64 next month and hearing the things you're saying I think I might have ADHD but I'll admit I was very anti-ADHD for the last 30 years since I first heard of it. I always thought it was just an excuse to give lazy kids or kids that act out in school a way to get away with not doing the work. I was called a "daydreamer" in school and my second grade wanted to hold me back. My mother said, "if she's bored now, (the teacher had said I had high retention but didn't apply it; I just stared out the window)won't she be more bored if you try to teach it all to her again if she already learned it?" Now I understand so much!
