Summary

Imagine taking any challenge in your life, a stalled project, a frustrating roadblock, even a dream that feels out of reach and turning it into an opportunity for rapid innovation, creativity, and impact. That is what this conversation is all about.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeff Karp, a Harvard and MIT Professor, inventor, and bestselling author who has spent his life “thinking about thinking.” Jeff transformed undiagnosed ADHD into a superpower for creativity and leadership, and today he teaches people how to unlock breakthrough ideas by disrupting old patterns, reconnecting with curiosity, and engaging the biology of innovation.

You will learn how to unlearn outdated habits, how to use nature as a playbook for fresh thinking, why neurodiversity is a competitive advantage, and how to turn ideas into action with speed and clarity. Jeff also shares tools from his book LIT that help you energize your brain, spark ideas, and ignite action in minutes a day.

Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, uninspired, or simply ready to think at a higher level, this episode will show you how to access creativity on demand, break through plateaus, and reconnect with what lights you up.
