427 | Maybe This Time: A Musical About Living with ADHD and Dyslexia with Jonathan Orenberg

In this episode, Eric is joined by Jonathan Orenberg from the San Francisco Bay area. As the founder of Care Life Services, Jonathan is no stranger to the healthcare field. After graduating from Baldwin Wallace University: Conservatory of Music, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father – an emergency room physician and medical director – and his mother, a registered nurse. Jonathan went on to become a CNA and certified senior fitness specialist and is also an accomplished Bay-area bass performer who has been in the industry for over 25 years, proud member of Actors’ Equity since 2008, and owner of a private acting studio.

Johnny has shared the stage with such stars as Sutton Foster, Kathleen Marshall, Michael Rafter, and Kate McGarry, while performing at some of the most prestigious theaters in the United States, including the Barnstormers Theatre, Cleveland Play House, Great Lakes Theater Company, 42nd Street Moon Theatre Company, and The Walt Disney Company.

Johnny has learned how to harness his ADHD and dyslexia-superpowers into fuel for his entrepreneurial spirit and mindfulness in the toll that hyperfocus can take on family life in the battle of business goals and personal values. Johnny is also an Alum of ADHD reWired’s Coaching & Accountablity Groups!

Worried you might have ADHD? Here is a list I compiled of all the behaviours I do as a that I feel link up with my adult ADHD diagnosis.

Maybe we can find some common ground?

I included my gender because female ADHD symptoms can often differ from male.

If you suspect you have undiagnosed ADHD, the best person to see is a professional for diagnosis and treatment, not a video on the Internet.
