Will.i.am Reveals His Secrets to Success

My son is neurodivergent and has written two young adult fantasy novels both of 130,000 words, one has been published and his next is just being finished off - it’s definitely a gift!!!

It is not AI that we need to be afraid of. It's people. It is always people.

Will I Am is clearly a creative genius and it's good to see someone else speaking about a topic that is close to a lot of people's hearts (ADHD). I have always thought that all ADHD is, is "ambition" being demonstrated at an early age in children. I know it has levels, but our education system that is based on the Prussian Empire's system to create "obedient employees" and not disruptive entrepreneurs. SO anytime someone is different, they get a label. Yet, as we all know, if you want to be successful you must not conform.. Great episode Rob!

Love how socially conscious and invested in making a better world for everyone Will.i.am is. He has an exceptional brain - fantastic episode! Thanks Rob

Titles such as coder, actor, designer, etc, just because you 'dabble' in something doesn't mean you are that title. Being in a movie doesn't make you an actor. And having ADHD or being neuro-divergent doesn't make you less able. I love his message of kindness. Well done for bringing Will.i.am, incredible episode.

Im a mother of 2 young boys. One is ADHD. I'm am undiagnosed still, but my intuition tells me that I am ADHD too. Instead of giving my boy pills and meds I took the spiritual path on how to raise him. Doctors call it ADHD, spiritualist call us Indigo children. We have very strong intuition, strong willed and also the ability to completely dissociate from anything that doesn't interest us. We are the fighters, sent to oppose the bigger guys running the world. We are free spirited! I'm a very proud mum, way deep into my spiritual journey and with this head start I'm able to be the best coach to my ADHD child. I'm always there for my babies, but to be there to understand my boy's perspective as an ADHD child is a beautiful privilege ❤️ I love you little Liam. 7 year old warrior.

Medicating diamonds to be rocks, rather than polishing rocks to be diamonds WOW! What an inspirational, intelligent, kind hearted and resilient role model for kids today. Make your perceived "weakness" or "label" your superpower, make those invisible angels visible and don't let other people's words break you. Love love love this interview! Rob, thank you for bringing such an incredible human being to our attention.

There is nothing more powerful than a conversation between the right people on the right platform !

Love that his disability came is creativity. Such an inspiration.

Chilled interview I like it! I don’t know if you remember Rob, but we met in Starbucks! That advice still stuck with me and meant a lot coming from you “Don’t give a s**t what anyone else thinks” hear it all the time but when you said it. It meant more than that! Thank you once again

A brilliant guest - I love how you always draw the best out of your guests, Rob. 🌟 ❤

What an outstanding interview! Love the fact that he talks about ADHD as a gift and not a problem. I have a son diagnosed with ADHD. He has some struggles, but he is a genius in Math! Nope, he didn't get my genes in that area...I forwarded this interview to him and he loved it! One of the many takeaways that stuck to me is: " "You're medicating diamonds to be rocks instead of polishing rocks to be diamonds". Thanks much again for this amazing interview, Rob!

Really wasn’t expecting a conversation like this! Just goes to show that you can’t miss Rob’s podcasts with content like this. Great work !

What an incredible interview. It is great to see that Will.i.am views ADHD as a gift rather than a disorder - I agree that it a unique way of thinking that allows creativity and outside-the-box problem solving. I have so many friends and family diagnosed with ADHD, and they are starting to realise, like Will-i-am, that there is nothing wrong with them - there are huge benefits to the high energy and ability to hyper-focus on creative projects that can manifest with this wonderful condition. I'm disheartened that so many people I know have been medicated for ADHD (if they can get hold of the meds in the UK!), and it was so refreshing to see you both discuss how medication should not be the only solution for ADHD, as many can find natural outlets like music and physical activity, just like my wonderful cousin, who now has a record contract! It is great to see such influential achievers encouraging the ADHD community to take pride in their unique skills, rather than the narrative away from focusing on just the challenges. Will.i.am made great points about optmising the upsides of ADHD and the importance of establishing routines, systems, and a supportive team to help manage ADHD tendencies. ADHD as a powerful difference, not a deficit. This interview hit the nail on t head - it times to surround themselves with people who appreciate their strengths, and this will help, and this can really help anyone with an ADHD diagnosis to focus on the brilliant gifts and talents this condition can manifest. Thank you for a brilliant interview - I loved how you drew out such great insight from such an interesting man, who like you loves to challenge the status quo

The sound on this is making my misophonia go crazy - I can hear every swallow and mouth noise - I’m trying to hard to listen to the content but my brain is screaming at me 🫣

This is a brilliant watch. I myself was diagnosed with ADHD and I also work daily with AI tools which are allowing me to build my business quicker and easier. Love your work Rob and thanks for the excellent guests!

I have to say that i was not aware of how awake Will i am was until seeing this interview. I consider myself a good balance between being a spiritualist and realist and therefore share a lot of his thoughts on give and take, heart and matter and how tech is making humanity rise in all ways imaginable where some are adjusting better than others. I love how he consciously recognised that what could be most people's pain, he made his gain. Very inspiring, resourceful, consciences and deep. Personally i love deep but i realise that people buy what they want which is usually matched to an emotion that is a void. Thanks Rob!! Loved it!!

This has got to be up there as one of the best interviews because no matter what we do for a living, it speaks to us as individuals with particular gifts. My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD in her adulthood and more than likely I have it too. Divergent people often have a difficult time because they are shamed and taught they should fit into the bland 'norm': but wouldn't life be exciting if we have Will's ethos of polishing rocks to be diamonds! His perspective and insight is fresh and wonderful and most encouraging and inspiring giving me hope for our future. Really enjoyed this interview, and seeing you laugh!

The best thing about this interview is the fact that it touches on both of my kids geniuses one who has ADHD and is sharing her gifts in the world and another who is an AI geek. Mucho Gracias.. 🙏🏽

Wow very powerful interview, I must confess I've never watched any of your YouTube videos, you brought on an amazing guest, and I could feel the authenticity and the positive energy flow between you both. I appreciate how you interview from a place of love and wanting to grow and in turn you ask questions of value and that helps your audience in their very own growth, thank you so much Rob Moore, subscribed. Great stuff. #few greedy folks are responsible for a lot of suffering. It takes individual like you Rob, others and myself to change the world for the better with intent, bring it on.
