From Corporate to Content: "ADHD Founder” Eugene Yao's Search for Authenticity

Eugene Yao, known as the ADHD Founder on Instagram, joins The Pause Production podcast to share his remarkable journey. With over 1.1 million followers, Eugene is a content creator whose success is defined not by numbers, but by his authentic storytelling and impact. Originally from China, his life path has taken him through New Zealand and the United States. His journey to wellness began with a simple yet profound question, "Why?"—a question that became his guiding North Star. This introspective pause led him to leave the corporate startup world to focus on raising awareness about mental health and sharing his personal experiences with ADHD. In this episode, Eugene discusses the twists and turns of his life and the importance of pausing to find one’s true purpose.
