Douglas Snyder




As the lead talent of Doug Talk Radio (DTR) — home of “all talk, all the time, no commercial interruptions and no dilution!” — Doug uses this framework to engage and inform. He is an expert at having at least a paragraph of knowledge in countless subjects and a penchant for explaining all manner of mechanical actions, mysteries of science and art, and anything else that catches his interest (SQUIRREL!). With wide-ranging experiences that include designing business software, custom car fabricating, serving on a submarine nuclear engineering team, and learning to pilot airplanes, he has been unknowingly exploiting the gift of having ADHD. After being diagnosed as an adult with ADHD, he has focused his energies learning how to make the most of it. For the past three years he has been mentored by Coach Linda Walker, an ADHD expert and creator of the Maximum Productivity Makeover for Creative Geniuses™. Formal coaching and peer-mentoring with intelligent, like-minded ADHD adults has given Doug great insight into the possibilities of excelling with ADHD. Originally perceiving ADHD as a disability, he has learned that it isn’t an inability to focus but rather that those who have it hyperfocus on everything. The secret, he says, is learning to consistently hyperfocus on what is important to your success.
