Helps Keep me Focused & Accountable
This is a great community for ADHD Founders. I love the 'Eat That Frog' Sessions where I can show up to work with others, commit to getting something done, and celebrate actually doing the thing I wouldn't probably have done without this community. Bill and Rex are AMAZING! Highly recommended.

Where ADHD Entrepreneurs Actually Build
I joined Focus Founders because I didn’t need more advice—I needed traction and a community that understands how ADHD actually shows up for those of us trying to launch our own businesses. What I found was a group culture that’s generous, direct in a helpful way, and genuinely invested in boosting each other up. The tone is "online family," and the occasional (constructive) competition made it super-easy to show up consistently. I have made more progress toward escaping my 9-5 in the three months since I joined than I did in the previous fifteen years of struggling alone. If you’re an ADHD entrepreneur who wants support that turns into action and a room that feels like real humans supporting one another, then Focus Founders is worth a look.

Clarity, Focus and Authenticity
Man soo much of my life has changed since joining Focus Founders. Not only have I learned how to be more efficient in my life AND business, I’ve found my people, my tribe. I feel more aligned than ever and every day is like I’m living in a dream. You may think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. I’ll take you through my journey into Focus Founders and you can decide by the end if being a part of this kick ass community feels like a good fit 🖤❤️ This part of my journey began on June 11, 2025. I joined the online community and met Bill and Rex within a week. Now I have never been attracted to social media, I used it to stay connected with friends, but I just never understood the point, so I was skeptical of using yet another app. That thought process was turned around fast. Inside the Focus Founders Skool community you’ll find a very simple to use ad free experience and hundreds (almost thousands) of amazing people. The community is advertised to ADHD Solopreneurs and it has attracted some of the most intelligent, wacky, neurospicy minds I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. After being in the community for a month or so I decided to join the paid accelerator ran by Bill Widmer and Rex Loyer, in order to gain clarity and focus around my business. Within two months under their guidance, I landed my first 2 high ticket clients and was well on my way to a 3rd. The only thing that stopped me was a deep love for the FF mission and it’s community. I found a greater sense of purpose in supporting Bill and Rex and what they were creating than I did in my own coaching business. So I started adding more value to the community itself in anyway I knew how and worked my way into becoming Lead Moderator for the online community and Community Lead for Focus Founders as a whole. I started hosting local events here in Austin under the FF name and the more I lean into this movement the more authentic I feel and the more love I’m able to spread. Incredible new people are showing up in our lives every day and I can feel the loving reach extending further and further. Calling it a movement is an understatement, we’re changing the world one day at a time. So if you’re an entrepreneur and desire leading a clear and abundant life surrounded by awesome people. Look no further, you’re one step away from your new home ✨

Love this community!
I joined The Escaper's Lab based on someone's recommendation of the community. I wasn't sure what to expect at first. What I discovered was a fun group with great engagement and simple, effective tools. I love Kesha's energy, humor (makes me smile and laugh every day I'm in there) and practical insights. One thing I focused on improving in the group was workout frequency. I've increased that and I've shifted out of hating, resisting and dreading my workouts and into working out because I want to. I'm also enjoying the tools to get out of overthinking. What I've experienced with those so far is deeper awareness and quick action from easy-to-use tools and fun resources.

I love this community!
I’m really glad I joined The Escaper’s Lab and Kesha is such a sweetie pie. It’s one of those spaces where you don’t feel like you have to have it all together to show up. I love her thought-provoking and encouraging posts, and the bite-sized experiments that make real shifts feel manageable instead of overwhelming. The community is very real and supportive, which makes it the perfect environment to grow. I would definitely recommend joining.

Love the connections & thought prompts
I'm going to confess, I know some people do a lot of Skool groups. I tend to find too many things can overwhelm and won't provide impact if there is too much happening so I pay close attention to the places I spend time reading and thinking. The Escaper's Lab has been a great source of real connections and the prompts being done in series and all really fit well for me. Highly recommend folks give it a go if you are looking for a place that can help you tap into the growth potential you have but that you may be letting yourself get in the way of -- small changes add up BIG TIME.
