Our Story & Mission

You’re not alone. Watch now to see how ambitious, neurodivergent founders like you are building businesses—and lives—that finally fit.

The Hard Middle, and Why AF Exists


From a young age, I didn’t just feel different… I struggled to find my place and my people.I struggled to stay on-task & was often called “weird,” “too much,” or “difficult.”

_________

Being autistic & ADHD meant:

  • 👻 Object impermanence: Out of sight, out of mind—even for people I love.

  • 💀 Social cue distraction: Hearing you, but tracking ten other signals.

  • 🎭 Masking: Acting “normal” when it didn’t feel true.

  • ⛓️‍💥 Shallow connections: Not because I didn’t care, but because my attention was gone.

_________

As an ambitious Neurodivergent adult, I lived with overwhelm, procrastination, and guilt.

I still struggled to connect with others, and stay driven in a “normal” work environment.

I knew I was capable of more.

I didn’t choose entrepreneurship because it was easy—I chose it because it was the only place I could be fully myself.But even here, I spent years alone.

The Hard Middle:

There’s a stretch between starting something new and finding success where it’s just you, your work, and the silence.

No one applauses your efforts.

No proof That it works.

Only the silence & constantly questioning: “Should I keep going?”

_________

“I kept going because my ambition to be better, and my drive to build a better life and an impactful business, push me forward every day.”

Three Things I Learned On That Lonely Journey:

  1. Willpower is not an action plan.

  2. Discipline is not a support system.

  3. Hiding who you are never helps you win.

The Birth of AF

I built The Ambitious Founder so the next ambitious neurodivergent mind doesn’t have to white‑knuckle it alone

Here’s what you’ll find here:

  • 💪 A community where difference is an asset, not a problem.

  • 🛠 A toolbox with tools and systems that work for neurodivergent brains.

  • 🚀 A launchpad to build, lead, and live without hiding who you are.

_________


If you’re in that hard middle, I see you.

You don’t need to fix yourself.

You need a tribe, a system that fits, and permission to build the life that you desire, your way.

That’s why we exist.

This is what sets us apart.

This is what makes us ambitious AF!

If you are ready to stop building your life & your business alone...
