Today we’re speaking with fellow single dad, Peter Shankman.
Peter is the founder of Help A Reporter Out, which is currently the largest free source repository in the world as well as ShankMinds: Breakthrough, an online community of business professionals from around the world who come together to give and get advice, increase their business, and improve their lives.
Additionally, Peter is also the founder and CEO of The Geek Factory, Inc., a boutique Social Media, Marketing and PR Strategy firm located in New York City, with clients worldwide. His blog, which he launched in 1995 at https://www.shankman.com, both comments on and generates news and conversation.
He's the author of five books including his latest: Faster Than Normal, Unlocking the Gifts of the ADHD Brain and is a frequent keynote speaker and workshop presenter at conferences and tradeshows worldwide.
Most importantly, he is a single dad to a five-year old daughter Jessa living in New York.
Peter and I talk about a lot of stuff including: be a great co-parent with your ex, breaking the news about the split to a toddler, the philosophy of kids first, how to get through the worst of it and stay positive, dealing with addiction, and being a dad with ADHD.
You can connect with Peter on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and LinkedIn at his name Peter Shankman or on his website shankman.com.
I hope you enjoy this conversation.
