In this episode of The Inclusive Dad podcast, host AAron welcomes entrepreneur and neurodiversity advocate Pazbi Zavatzki. Pazbi shares his journey from childhood cancer survival and temporary paralysis to a late ADHD diagnosis and becoming a champion for neurodivergent inclusion. They explore the power of shared stories, the domino effect of diagnosis, and why universal design benefits everyone. Pazbi also opens up about how ADHD shaped his entrepreneurial spirit and his mission to create accessible digital spaces through his company, Kickass Online. This heartfelt, funny, and real conversation highlights the everyday actions we can take to build inclusive communities.

Key Takeaways:

Diagnosis Domino – One diagnosis often sparks many others, highlighting the widespread underdiagnosis of neurodivergence.

Inclusive by Design – Universal design and proactive accommodations benefit everyone, not just those with disclosed needs.
Authentic Entrepreneurship – ADHD can drive creativity and risk-taking in business, but structure and support are key.
Power of Storytelling – Sharing your story invites others to do the same, creating connection and understanding.
Empathy in Action – Small, kind gestures—like helping a stranger—can make a big impact and model everyday inclusion.

Pazbi’s definition of inclusion:

Inclusion is an equal playing field. That’s where everyone can come to the table and have the same sort of opportunities.
