Accountability, Community, and Actually ...

WILLIAM CURB
About this episode

Hey team!

Joining me today is Russ Jones, the host of the ADHD Big Brother podcast and founder of an ADHD coaching community that helps adults get out of their heads and into action. Russ is an actor and comedian, a background that shines through into his work giving his content relatability and charisma.

Russ and I really got into our talk and so I’ve ended up splitting this episode into two parts.

In this first half of the conversation, we get into why so many of us struggle to turn knowledge into real-life change and how a strong ADHD community can provide the structure and support we need to actually follow through. Russ also shares insights from his own journey—like how quitting a 20-year nicotine addiction helped him discover the power of daily community support.

If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/213

All right, keep on listening to find out how community coaching can provide the structure and support to help you actually follow through.

This Episode's Top Tips

    1. ADHDers love collecting information (tips, tricks, hacks), but we can often struggle to implement it—having a community to provide some accountability is a great way to help bridge that gap.
    2. Having consistent, low-pressure accountability (like daily check-ins) can often work better than big coaching sessions spaced out over weeks, where we’re scrambling to get to that thing we said we’d do right before our session.
    3. Community support works best when you’re actively engaged. You get out so much when you’re engaging with your community.
