Turning ADHD into Strength: A Journey of Endurance with Simon Blair
Watch Beyond Limits: Into the ADHD Mind: Rising Above Failure
In this episode of the ADHD Goals podcast, Laurence talks with Simon Blair, founder of SHB, a successful London-based property company. Simon shares his experience of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life and how he has transformed this into a source of strength through ultra-endurance marathon running. The discussion delves into his new documentary 'Beyond Limits: Into the ADHD Mind,' which captures his participation in the Marathon Des Sables—one of the toughest races on Earth—while addressing ADHD and mental health stigmas. Simon provides insights into his upbringing, dealing with ADHD, coping mechanisms, and how running has helped him achieve mental clarity and personal growth. They also explore his journey towards being a successful entrepreneur with ADHD and future plans to raise awareness and improve understanding of neurodiversity in schools and workplaces.
