The topic of today’s episode is personal for Mai Ling. Before our guest joins the show to talk about ADHD, Mai Ling shares her own personal experience with her diagnosis. James then sits down with startup founder and expert ADHD/neurodiversity advocate/speaker, Chris Wang to talk all about ADHD and its effects on adults. Chris is the co-founder and CEO of Shimmer, a comprehensive behavioral tech platform for adults with ADHD. In addition to explaining the Shimmer app, Chris also shares some different approaches to managing ADHD, advice for newly diagnosed adults, and some of the biggest challenges that they face.

Chris Wang

Co-Founder & CEO of Shimmer

Chris (short for Christal)—is a startup founder, social impact advocate, angel investor, growth consultant, and forever tinkerer. She believes strongly that business should be used as a force for good, and that impact isn’t the enemy profit but a catalyst. This thesis underpins every decision she makes, especially when it comes to those communities she's a part of and cares the most about: LGBTQ+, AAPI, women/non-binary, and neuro-diversity (esp. ADHD).
