In today's episode of the Second in Command podcast, Cameron shares a deeply personal reflection on how his experiences with attention deficit disorder (ADD) shaped his educational journey and entrepreneurial success.
You'll hear how traditional schooling and societal expectations of focus negatively impacted his self-esteem, even as he was trying his best. Despite being told he wasn’t trying hard enough, Cameron realized that his struggles with concentration were not a personal flaw but part of a unique way of thinking that would later serve him well as a business leader.
Drawing from his own experiences, Cameron presents a new perspective on ADD, reframing it not as a disorder but as a potential superpower, especially for entrepreneurs. He explains how his inability to stay focused for long periods of time, while challenging in certain environments, allowed him to notice opportunities and weaknesses others might miss. By embracing this trait, he learned to prioritize and delegate tasks effectively, which contributed to his success in building businesses.
This episode offers a message of empowerment, urging those with ADD to acknowledge their strengths and harness them in their careers.
