Today’s guest is fellow podcaster, Angela Stephens, host of the RE-Focus podcast. She is the CEO of RE-Focus The Creative Office, a woman owned diversified company with WBENC. As a single mother, she worked a commission based job and her son was diagnosed with high level ADHD at the age of ten. He went from a D student to an A student through therapies, a lot of work, and medications.

Her podcast has interviewed many people about how they maintain focus. No one has ever given her the same answer. She’s heard everything from fidget toys to stealing from  the movie Up so they stop chasing squirrels. One of her companies gives resources for people to maintain focus like password books and college applications packets.

Angela was diagnosed with ADHD herself at age forty-five, her son’s journey as the thing that led her to that discovery. He is the co-Founder of Re-Focus and helped create the first suite of products. Angela says the keys to her company’s success are adaptability and  celebrating successes.
