Well hello there!

Hello new friends!

I'm Josh Holland, and I stumbled across here while building my own Skool (the suggested communities on the side), and it felt like the right place to jump in! I've always figured I had a level of ADHD, but was never diagnosed for it. I designed systems for myself and spent a lot of time on personal growth to keep my brain at least consistently focused on positive and things that moved my life in the direction of my goals. Lots of "If this, then" habits, rules and structure, lots of breadcrumbs (I have workout gear of some sort in nearly every room of the house and two pull up bars in different areas so I can't possibly forget), and used the hyperfocus part to become a full time music producer, guitarist, drummer, bassist, and vocalist to high levels.

I became aware that I almost certainly have it last year when my dad had a stroke, and my system to maintain 20 things a day broke when adding his needs to the mix. I'm getting closer and closer to balance again, and he's been recovering well, but after watching a few Dr K videos where he interviewed creators with ADHD it resonated completely with what I've dealt with.

I've been self employed for over 7 years, but that also means that I haven't had health insurance in that long since it's insanely expensive when you're not in a group, so I can't say 100% that I do, but between that and dumping my brain into Claude AI, it's also nearly certain based on my life stories and how I work and process. And if you couldn't tell already... brevity is not a strength. 🤣
