Have you ever wondered how neurodivergence can shape the way a business is run? In this interview, Ilana Engel, owner of Park Slope Pups, shares her journey as a neurodivergent business owner with ADHD. She discusses the unique challenges and strengths that come with managing a pet care business while being neurodivergent. Ilana emphasizes the importance of using tools and strategies, like technology and structured methods, to succeed. She also highlights the benefits of hiring neurodivergent staff and the need to break down stigmas and misconceptions.

Main topics:

  • Impact of ADHD on Business
  • Tools for Managing ADHD
  • Supporting Neurodivergent Employees

Main takeaway: Neurodivergent people just think differently, not defectively.

About our guest:

Ilana started dog walking in college in 2006. She took up dog boarding part-time while she pursued freelance graphic design and illustration. After falling in love with lots of adorably furry faces, she decided to take on hanging out with dogs full-time. She has been surrounded by dogs daily ever since.
