The Daily Reminder System That Actually Works for ADHD (Sharon Pope)
Description
She stared in the mirror one night, still wearing the workout clothes she'd put on that morning, and realized she couldn't remember if she'd had a sip of water all day.
Years before being diagnosed with ADHD, Sharon Pope was successfully leading startups while privately struggling with the basics of everyday life.
So she built the tool she wished she'd had: an AI task manager that follows up like a person instead of another notification.
In this conversation, Sharon shares how that breaking point became Shelpful, why she still relies on it every day, and what she's learned about building a company around a problem she still hasn't completely solved.

- The night she built the first Shelpful prototype in 24 hours
- Why human accountability didn't scale into a business
