Adaptive by Design: AI, ADHD, and the Future-Ready Founder
In this AFN Fireside Chat, Matt Sitter sits down with Eliza Sharrah, founder and CEO of Catalyst Partners Consulting, to explore a topic that keeps surfacing across founder and executive communities: the perks and pitfalls of neurodivergent leadership, and how to strategically leverage AI to future-proof a business.
An estimated 72% of business owners identify as neurodivergent. That reality brings both powerful advantages and real challenges. With always-on technology and rapidly evolving AI tools, the question is no longer whether founders should adapt.
Together, Matt and Eliza will unpack:
• How ADHD helps - and hurts - founders as companies grow
• Where AI can support focus, prioritization, and execution (and where it can overwhelm)
• Practical ways to design systems that work with your brain, not against it
• Why disciplined execution matters more than ever in an AI-accelerated world
This will be a candid, experience-driven conversation grounded in real leadership work across startups and global enterprises alike.
As a bonus, one attendee will receive a complimentary 30-minute coaching session with Eliza (valued at $500).
If you are a founder, executive, or operator navigating scale, speed, and focus in an AI-powered world, this conversation is for you
