Would you rather be a Jedi or a Wizard, and not like a Harry Potter wizard, I'm talking like Gandalf!

I have a lot I can add to the classroom, however I'm curious what kind of things you might want to see in there? How do you learn? Us guys with ADHD don't usually learn the same way as your average Skool communities... Like I'm not really a big fan of reading a ton of stuff nowadays, I would much rather learn through something interactive or videos, I don't mind doing short worksheets and that kind of stuff but I like things that are more interactive. What are your thoughts? What kind of learner are you?

If you are a man over 40 navigating a late-diagnosis, you know the "Provider Mask" all too well. You’ve spent decades "holding it together" at work, but inside, you’re battling executive dysfunction, chronic procrastination, and a burnout cycle that never seems to end. Most ADHD productivity tips tell you to just "use a planner," but for a neurodivergent adult managing a career and family, a basic to-do list isn't enough to solve executive function failures. The Reality of the 40+ ADHD Brain: Executive Dysfunction: You have the "vision" but struggle with task initiation and time management. Hyperfocus Cycles: You crush a 12-hour workday but leave your personal life in chaos because your working memory is shot. Dopamine-Chasing: You’re constantly switching between focus tools and apps, looking for a "fix" that actually sticks. The Solution? Stop trying to fix your ADHD symptoms with "willpower." In this brotherhood, we focus on clinical-backed frameworks like CBT tools, somatic regulation, and flexible routines designed specifically for high-achieving men. It’s time to stop the ADHD burnout and start building a lifestyle of high-performance stability. Comment below: What is the #1 "mask" you wear to hide your ADHD symptoms at work? Let’s unmask together.

Let's get raw for a second. ​How many of you spent the last 20 or 30 years calling yourself "lazy," "undisciplined," or "unmotivated"? ​Maybe you worked the oil fields, ran a business, or white-knuckled your way through a career, only to hit age 40 and feel like the wheels are coming off. Suddenly, the ADHD symptoms aren't just annoying—they’re paralyzing. ​I’ve been there. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 38. I spent nearly four decades wondering why I could weld a perfect seam or handle a crisis, but couldn't seem to "just get off the couch" to do the dishes or answer an email. ​That isn't a lack of willpower. It’s Functional Freeze. ​The Three Walls We Hit After 40: 1. ​The Executive Function Tax: Our brains have been "over-clocking" for decades. Now, the nervous system is exhausted. That’s why it feels like your ADHD is getting worse. It’s not—your battery is just drained. 2. Task Paralysis: You know what you need to do. You have the skills. But your brain is calculating every single micro-step, leading to total overwhelm. You stay on the couch not because you’re lazy, but because your "engine" is flooded. 3. ​The RSD Sting: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. After years of feeling "missed" by doctors and "judged" by society, every perceived slight or failure feels like physical pain. It makes us want to isolate. ​Why This Community Matters ​We are the "Missed Generation." We grew up in an era where you just "toughed it out." But you don't have to white-knuckle it anymore. ​In this group, we’re trading the "shame" for clinical tools and brotherhood. Whether it’s somatic work to break a freeze or CBT strategies to manage the chaos, we do it together. ​Drop a comment below if you’ve ever felt that "Functional Freeze." What’s the one task that always seems to trigger your paralysis? ​Let’s get to work.
