Theo Paphitis has appeared on the new podcast I’m ADHD! No You’re Not, hosted by Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE and BAFTA award‑winning comedian Paul Whitehouse

The thought provoking series explores ADHD through open, honest and often humorous conversations with celebrity guests, specialists and academics, aiming to challenge stereotypes and redefine how society views neurodivergence.

During the episode, Theo shared powerful reflections on his early struggles with dyslexia and the creative “workarounds” he developed at school to overcome challenges - lessons that later became the building blocks of his entrepreneurial success. He discussed the conditions many neurodivergent individuals face, including imposter syndrome, and how traits like curiosity, innovation and perseverance have played a vital role in his career.

The conversation delved into wider themes too - from education and the importance of nurturing risk‑taking in young people, to the need for inclusive understanding of ADHD and dyslexia. The conversation was both insightful and entertaining throughout, even featuring an impromptu phone conversation in Greek between Theo and Dr Conkbayir’s mother, which perfectly captured the warmth and spontaneity of the series.

I’m ADHD! No You’re Not aims to break down outdated perceptions, encourage meaningful discussions and highlight the unique strengths of neurodivergent minds. Theo’s appearance offered a deeply personal look at resilience, adaptability, and the creativity that fuels both business and personal growth.
