What if the reason you're not successful in business is because you don't give yourself permission to do things a different way?
I interviewed Cheryl Woodhouse, one of the “Lost Girls” of the neurodivergent world. Labeled as “trouble” long before ADHD was studied in girls, Cheryl shares how her early misdiagnoses and workplace struggles led her to entrepreneurship. Now the founder of Solo School, the only business school designed specifically for neurodivergent founders and freelancers. She also leads Tactile Design Co, an accessibility research and consulting firm. Cheryl is on a mission to end income inequality for nerurodivergent folx, one business at a time.
