Doug McMaster on Neurodivergence: "I obsessively learn to the point of mastery"

Douglas McMaster, a distinguished chef, restaurateur, Master Chef UK finalist, and pioneer in the zero-food waste movement, has always thought differently.


In this chat with Ben, they delve into Doug’s ability to recognise patterns, be it within the human experience, the natural world or his own thoughts.


They explore the psychology underpinning Doug’s relentless pursuit to master a subject.


Ben also poses the big question… to seek formal diagnosis or self-diagnose.
