Über diesen Titel

Weird? Odd? Different? Running a Business? Self-Employed? ND? Join the neurodiverse business owner conversation! Unmask, relax & explore. No small talk… Guaranteed!

Hello, welcome to the Business Oddcast! We’re Hannah & Stu, two late-diagnosed, neuro-spicy humans figuring out how to run businesses without pretending to be “normal.”

We’re so excited to share stories, insights, & laughs with you as we celebrate the business brilliance of the ASD, ADHD, AuDHD and neurodiverse community.

This is where we unmask, swap real stories, and dive into the gloriously odd side of entrepreneurship without any corporate “small talk” and forced networking smiles, just honest, weird, and wonderfully creative conversations.

  • Thriving Without a 5-Year Plan: Short-Term Wins, Long-Term Awesome - Business Oddcast S01E19

    Thriving Without a 5-Year Plan: Short-Term Wins, Long-Term Awesome - Business Oddcast S01E19
    Jan 14 2026

    Five-year plans sound great in theory… but what if your brain simply refuses to cooperate?

    In this episode of The Business Oddcast, we explore what planning actually looks like for neurodivergent business owners. From variable energy levels and dopamine-driven decision making to PDA, perfectionism, and the pressure to “stick to the plan,” they unpack why rigid long-term planning can be more harmful than helpful.

    We talk honestly about energy budgets, 90-day sprints, pivoting without shame, squirrel moments, hyperfocus, and why rest is preparation, not a reward. Expect practical insights, lived experience, a healthy dismantling of hustle culture, and reassurance that you’re not failing just because your business doesn’t fit a neurotypical template.

    If traditional planning makes you feel boxed in, burnt out, or broken — this one’s for you.

    Miracle Morning, Neurospicy Edition: Spoiler - There's No 5am Yoga - Business Oddcast S01E18
    Jan 7 2026
    Morning routines are meant to set you up for success… so why do they feel so impossible when you’re neurodivergent? In this episode of the Business Oddcast, we tear apart the idea of the “perfect morning” and rebuild it in a way that actually works for neurospicy brains. Inspired (loosely) by The Miracle Morning, this is not a book review — it’s a reality check. From trauma mornings and insomnia hangovers to dopamine hunting, PDA reactions, hyperfocus black holes, and why affirmations can turn into cheese-based chaos, we explore what mornings really look like when you don’t wake up as the same person every day. We talk systems vs willpower, buffer days, energy tracking, anchor habits, prepping the night before, and why kindness beats perfection every single time. If traditional routines make you feel broken, this episode is your permission slip to do mornings your way. Please share with anyone you think this topic might resonate with.
