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.

Caring & Supportive Community
A growing group of Lyme patients who openly share their experiences. I have received a lot of helpful information from several members who have been fighting this disease for years. It's a great source of knowledgable people who truly care and want to help. The weekly virtual meeting is especially terrific. I have met some really wonderful folks on this site and I especially enjoy getting to know them and their stories more intimately through the private chat option. The site is well managed by its creator, who is a kind, compassionate and caring individual. I'm glad to be a part of this group.

A Place of Understanding
The group is for folks who are facing medical challenges, particularly Lyme and related conditions, to build a supportive community. We want to be uplifting to one another, not create more negativity. The group is new, but so far it’s been amazing to see how we have connected across the country with our shared experiences and hopes for recovery. My third week joining the call was really helpful.
