Welcome to the ADHD Entrepreneur Accelerator Podcast! Host Steve August, Founder of ADHD Entrepreneur Accelerator and August & Wonder, also a Founder, Coach & Leader of The Focus Formula ADHD Coworking Community, and creator of the 2X Accelerator, shares a powerful idea that changed his work life, the 2-Hour Workday. Steve talks about how ADHD isn’t a lack of attention, but a challenge with using it well. He explains how managing your executive function can help you get more done with less stress. This episode gives simple, real advice to help ADHD entrepreneurs stay focused, do what matters most, and feel good at the end of the day.

Steve isn’t just a coach; he’s lived the real struggle of knowing what to do but not being able to do it. As he got older, work got harder, and learning he had ADHD made it all make sense. He found that managing his executive function was the key. Now, he teaches ADHD entrepreneurs how to work with their brains, use their best hours, and make real progress without burnout.

Steve coached startup founders and helped them grow, but over time, he noticed he couldn’t get his brain to do what he wanted. Learning about ADHD helped him understand why. He realized it’s not about having no attention, but about using it wisely. Now, he helps ADHD entrepreneurs work smarter by focusing on what matters most during their best hours of the day.
