How ADHD Pulled This Entrepreneur Out Of $600k Debt (with Galel Fajardo)

Season 1 Episode 174 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Sitting in a parking lot after leaving the bankruptcy attorney's office, $600,000 in debt written off, home gone, Galel Fajardo told himself no one would ever hire him again.

Galel Fajardo is a business coach, digital marketing consultant, and fractional CMO with 23 years of entrepreneurial experience and a Master's in Performance Psychology. He specializes in helping high-performing entrepreneurs, especially those with ADHD, whose businesses look successful from the outside and feel like a prison from the inside. His clients have doubled their revenue, with one scaling from $2.5M to $10.1M in three years, not by working harder, but by building the right structure first. He coaches from the only credential that actually matters: he has lived every problem he teaches.

What he learned through that experience, his ADHD diagnosis, and years of coaching shapes how he thinks about execution, delegation, and the internal stories that stall growth.

This episode covers the specific frameworks Galel uses in his own business and with his clients.

What We Cover:

  • Why the systems that work in your 20s tend to fail once a business reaches real complexity and what to replace them with
  • How Galel uses AI as a ruthless critic rather than a yes-machine to pressure-test ideas before committing resources
  • The structural reason ADHD brains are strong activators but need an external check to finish and execute
  • Why transparency about ADHD with your team tends to improve delegation rather than undermine authority
  • How Galel identifies the belief underneath an activation problem and works with clients to shift it
