Mark Steiner wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until he was 57, and only because his daughter was diagnosed first and started describing her symptoms back to him. Quitting alcohol around the same time is what he says finally let him see it clearly.  "I always looked at myself as a little inferior. I was always a little insecure. I didn't think I was a good student because I couldn't focus... I just always thought that I was less." — Mark Steiner  "The moment I didn't do it for several weeks, all of a sudden I started to feel like there was a bit of a fog that lifted. I seemed to be a little more alert, a little more sharp." — Mark Steiner Mark built GigSalad — now the biggest marketplace of its kind connecting event planners with entertainers across the US and Canada — twenty-two years before any of this came to light. In this conversation he talks about what changed once he stopped masking, why curiosity and commitment turned out to be two different things, why he's going back to acting in his sixties not to get famous this time but because he actually loves the craft, and why he's launching a new interview podcast, Think Upon, once his home studio is finished. Mark Steiner is the co-founder and CEO of GigSalad, the online marketplace connecting event planners with entertainers, speakers and other event professionals across the US and Canada. He co-hosts The Big Ideas Podcast and is launching a new interview podcast, Think Upon, later this year.
