Florian Pariset calls AI crack cocaine for the ADHD brain, and he should know, because he sells it. He's the casino director with a gambling addiction, and these are the house rules that stopped it frying his brain.

Florian "Flo" Pariset is the founder of Notis, a bootstrapped, profitable AI company he runs as a team of one against a rival backed by a $75M Series A. He was diagnosed with ADHD after that burnout, and now builds Notis as "the AI that does the work your brain refuses to".

He explains:

• Why AI is crack cocaine for ADHD brains, and the loop that keeps you building all night
• What an AI comedown is, and how every hit drags your baseline a little lower
• Why so many early AI adopters have ADHD, and why "it's for work" is the perfect cover
• How running ten agents at once trains your brain to context switch with your family too
• The three ways he uses AI that make ADHD easier, starting with the software you dread
• Why the gym and cold plunges went from optional to mandatory once he worked with AI all day
• He opens up about his first day on medication, and finally enjoying a coffee with his wife and son

For four years Jack worked seven days a week, and the business that was meant to give him freedom cost him a relationship, his health and three years without travel. Now he only takes calls three days a week and caps Zoom at ten hours, and he's making more money with far more white space in his calendar.

Jack explains:

• Why most founders build their business by default, and how it ends up eating every hour you give it
• How one call at 1pm can wipe out a whole morning of deep work for an ADHD brain, and why his calls now get their own days
• The ten hour Zoom cap that keeps his energy for clients, family and jiu jitsu
• Why nothing gets booked before 11am, and the morning launch pad that decides how the next eight hours go
• The daily business vitamins he has to finish before he's allowed to touch anything interesting
• Why he only works with dream clients, and how to write your own laws starting from your next milestone

At school Liam Harrison kept getting sent out of class for blurting and not concentrating. The same brain went on to win him eight world titles, then dragged him into a bender after almost every win.

Liam "Hitman" Harrison is an eight time world champion in Muay Thai and kickboxing, and one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters the UK has produced, with more than 120 pro fights. He is now co owner of Bad Company gym in Leeds, teaches seminars around the world and runs his own promotion, Hitman Fight League.

He explains:

* Why ADHD gets harder as an adult, and the traits his wife spotted before he did
* The 48 hour rule he wishes he'd had in his twenties to stop the crash after every win
* How one session at 13 gave his brain a hit that nothing else has ever matched
* Why he packed a bag for Thailand days after his first loss, and what six months on a mattress on the gym floor were like
* Why a rigid game plan lost him fights, and how his coach hid the plan inside his pad work
* How he set up seminars, his gym and boxing before he retired so the structure didn't disappear overnight
* He opens up about what his ADHD has been like for his wife, and the book that showed him both sides
