But overall, I don't think it's been that bad because with ADHD, you can hyper-focus on things.

Yes, you take excessive risks.

So whether it's on the golf course or batting in cricket or making rash decisions, a lot of people with ADHD take big risks.

But I wouldn't have been a whistleblower or started crikey and done stupid, crazy risks, I don't think, if I didn't have ADHD.

And I like the fact that you can hyper-focus on things.

A lot of entrepreneurs have ADHD because they can really hyper-focus.

Sometimes you don't have a filter.

You lack empathy, hopeless mundane things.

You get easily bored.

You need adrenaline rushes.

But overall, I've enjoyed hyper-focusing on business and politics and I think it should be celebrated to a degree.

And you've just got to be realistic about it.

You look back and say, oh, God.

I took so many stupid risks.

What was I doing?

But, you know, I think lean in on these things.

You can't change them.

And just try and be honest about, you know, the impact and try and set some guardrails up.

So at the moment, you know, because I take financial risks, like most of my money posts are tied up in super.

That's good because I can't access it and blow it.
