Jeremy shares his journey of navigating a difficult 2022, which included two major job losses, and how these challenges led him to reinvent himself, start his own company, and foster a greater understanding of his own ADD diagnosis. We also discuss the art of blending diverse interests, from Jeremy’s time as both a cheerleader and football player to his career shifts across various industries. Jeremy’s thoughtful reflections on ADD, mental health, and learning from adversity provide great insights for anyone looking to understand themselves and their potential more deeply.
