‘A Series of Charming Apologies’: ADHD, Creativity & Entrepreneurship
Manage episode 514173072 series 3696211
What happens when the same brain that fuels your creativity also makes you lose four passports in five years?
In this episode of Brand Mixology, I sit down with Daniel Chaput de Saintonge — founder of a thriving content studio and one of the most brilliantly self-aware creatives I know — to explore the messy, funny, and deeply human side of running a business with ADHD.
We talk about:
- The beauty and chaos of a “stop–start” brain in business and creativity
- How ADHD shows up in leadership, procrastination, and people management
- Why passion is the anchor when everything else feels like noise
- The myth of the solo entrepreneur — and the power of building the right team
- How self-awareness (and humour) can turn challenges into superpowers
It’s a candid, entertaining, and surprisingly relatable conversation about self-acceptance, creative energy, and finding the freedom to work with your brain instead of against it.
👉 Stay to the end to hear Daniel’s mixology moment — the ingredient he’s adding to the cocktail of success and the myth he’s putting firmly on ice.
