Today, Eric is joined by Morgan Hancock who was diagnosed with ADHD at 31. She is a commercial real-estate agent, entrepreneur, U.S. Army veteran, mother of 2, a passionate advocate of the arts, and the founder of Bourbon With Heart Inc., the world’s first and only arts-focused bourbon charity!
In this episode, you’ll hear about the different paths Morgan took – including becoming a young mother, joining the army, law school, making insect repellent, and continuing to act on her big ambitions. You’ll also hear about her life as a self-professed trouble-maker, hyperfocus and risk-taking, all-or-nothing thinking, what led up to her ADHD diagnosis, and how her fearlessness and resilience led to founding her bourbon-based non-profit organization.
