I am headed to The Blade Show in Atlanta for NULU, so I am posting this week's Q&A-DHD early.

I found a question about being corrected and anger — and several things peaked my interest.

Three things in the question told me everything before I even started answering.

The passive framing. The assumption that others should recognize your expertise. And an apology at the end before anyone even responded.

That's not soley ADHD. That's a framework problem.

This week's Q&A-DHD breaks down the two-layer approach

I actually use — Zen to create the pause, Stoicism to work within it — and the strategic truth that there is no destination.

Only the practice.

Heading to the Blade Show in Atlanta this week — so I recorded this...

06/01/2026

Last year at this time, we were unveiling NULU to the public for the first time after our Kickstarter.

Abilities Expo Chicago was where we did it — and getting in front of the people who benefit most from what we built provided both the validation and the inspiration that got us to where we are today.

We're back. If you're in the Chicago area June 12–14, come find us at Booth 429. It could transform your life in the kitchen — or the life of someone you love.

The blade is never finished. Neither are you.

A new piece on shugyo, Aikido, and why managing ADHD isn't a destination — it's a permanent practice.

The copper pipe from my hot water heater sprung a leak. No plumber, no time — just instincts and innovative thinking.

Silicon tape. Clamps. A section of hose I had to cut to size — then split lengthwise to wrap the pipe.

My NULU was handy. So I put it to work.

Long story short: NULU kicked that hose's butt. Utility in and out of the kitchen.

What moves the needle isn't the label. It's what you do with the wiring underneath it.

NULU is now on — and honestly, this one means a lot.

NULU started because I needed it to. As a service-disabled veteran, there came a point where the tools I'd always relied on stopped working the way my body needed them to. The kitchen became a problem I had to engineer my way out of. That's where Force Transfer Geometry™ came from. That's where NULU came from.

GovX exists because the people who serve — and who sacrifice — deserve more than generic options. That's a value we share completely.

If you're military, law enforcement, fire, EMS, a nurse or medical professional, a government employee, or an educator — you can now get 25% off the NULU Ergonomic Kitchen Knife.

Welcome to the family. 🇺🇸

I got banned from a major ADHD group on Reddit for trying to help someone. Apparently that's not welcome there.

That's actually what pushed me to start making these videos.
Because what I see constantly in the ADHD community is codependence dressed up as empathy. And that's not help. That's keeping people stuck.

This week's question: "How the hell do you get out of bed in the morning? I'm close to being fired. I cry trying to move and still can't."

My answer is honest. It's not cruel. But it's not going to tell you that you're helpless either — because you're not.

ADHD is wiring, not deficiency. The "I can't" story has a cost. And I think you already know what it is.

And if you've got questions of your own, send them. That's what this community is for.
