All right, gang, welcome back. We are about to embark on a fresh, new, powerful, educational, inspirational episode of Overcoming Distractions. And if you have listened to us for any length of time, or if some of you, you go right back to the beginning. Overcoming Distractions. The book was a profile of many entrepreneurs and business owners and other executives with adhd. And I had an idea for a book that was just that I didn't want to talk about kids with adhd. I didn't want to talk about medication. I certainly was not a, a candidate to write a clinical book about adhd. So I was a welding school flunk out, but for some reason publisher grabbed hold of it and there we go. And it was in every Barnes and Noble in the country and beyond. So with that being said, we are kind of returning to our roots here of Overcoming distractions, and we're talking about building a business or rebuilding a business with an ADHD brain and we're going to get into that. And today I have Scott Propolski. He shot for National Geographic in the White house for about 27 years. He can kind of clarify that for me in a moment. He scaled a seven figure studio with a bunch of team members. He was at the top 1% of his industry, millions in sales, and then like many of us, 2020 showed up, reared its ugly head and wiped out a lot of that. So. But now he has come back strong. He's actually helping others build businesses in the photography industry. He's the author of the Camera Focus Method among I think a couple others. And he's embraced his adhd. He's, he's leveraged it to bounce back, create a new and improved business. Right. So. So why don't you kind of expand on that a little bit, Scott, and then we can dig into actually what went wrong and how you kind of corrected course.
