All Things Private Practice Podcast Patrick Casale 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 a Explicit David Collins 30 Minute Half Hour Show! David Collins My name is David Collins. I am a Radio DJ and Broadcaster from Manhattan, Kansas. I've been doing Radio since I was 18. First starting in college (shout out KSDB), I quickly realized this was something I was pretty good at. Since then, I've worked with a variety of radio stations, finally landing at K-Rock 101.5. There, I was able to meet and speak with many famous and/or interesting people. Although it was a great opportunity, at the time, fortunately for me, times change. I've been cut loose from the chains of day-time Radio, and have a new show. David Collins 30 Minute Half Hour Show is a great opportunity to interview new guests, talk new topics, and get little more edgy than what my audience may be used to. I'm happy to have some of my old listeners, and bring my voice to a new audience. Contact [email protected] and you may have your voicemail played on the show! Thanks for watching!
