The 5 ADHD Triggers That Are Making Entrepreneurs Unstoppable (Part 2/2)
19/06/2026 | 26 mins.
#956 What if the secret to unlocking your ADHD brain isn't medication or willpower — but knowing exactly what flips your switch? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin continues his discussion with certified life coach and DOSE founder Steev Hodgson, diving into the five proven "activation triggers" that reliably get the ADHD brain fired up: interest, challenge, novelty, urgency, and passion. Steve breaks down why self-imposed deadlines rarely work the same as real ones, how gamification and habit stacking can be game-changers for entrepreneurs, and why people with ADHD essentially see time in just two categories — now and not now. If you've ever wondered why you can hyperfocus for hours on one thing but can't seem to start another, this episode will finally give you the language — and the tools — to understand why!
What we discuss with Steev:
+ The 5 ADHD activation triggers
+ Why self-imposed deadlines often fail
+ Dopamine, norepinephrine & outside stimuli
+ The power of novelty for the ADHD brain
+ Gamification as a productivity tool
+ Habit stacking for entrepreneurs
+ Time blindness explained
+ "Now vs. not now" thinking
+ Finding your "right kind of difficult"
+ Self-compassion as an ADHD strategy
Thank you, Steev!

17/06/2026 | 36 mins.
#953 You've built the campaign — now it's time to turn your content into a client-converting machine that works even while you sleep! In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Chelsea Quint of The Business Whisperer is back to walk us through the next critical steps of campaign-based selling, including how to choose your three core marketing channels (and why spreading yourself too thin is killing your ROI), how to create content that builds compounding authority over time — and actually gets picked up by AI search engines — and why the easiest sale you'll ever make is to someone who already bought from you. Chelsea also shares a powerful real-world example of how a back-end resonance campaign took a client from a $1,500/month retainer to a $50,000 project, and leaves us with a mindset shift every solopreneur needs to hear about rejection, resilience, and learning to trust that you have the skills to make money happen!

+ Campaign-based selling
+ Building trust with content
+ Long-form authority content
