EPV - Chronic Entrepreneurship & Neurodiversity - Jennifer Cummings
In the fifth episode of the Neurovation Podcast, we meet Jennifer Cummings, a self-described "chronic entrepreneur" who has pursued numerous ventures while embracing and leveraging her neurodiversity.
Jennifer's journey began with challenges in the school system, where she struggled with misdiagnoses and sought negative attention. However, with the right diagnosis and a strong support system, she discovered the tools to learn, grow, and thrive in diverse environments.
Entrepreneurship became Jennifer’s outlet—a way to channel her creative thinking into meaningful business initiatives. Over the years, and starting at a young age, Jennifer founded various successful companies and shares with us some of the wisdom she’s gained from these experiences. Furthermore, after working as a teacher and witnessing the gaps in the American educational system, Jennifer became determined to drive change. She now strives to transform the system while empowering students to reach their full potential.
Now the CEO of Pivot Zone and founder of a nonprofit, Jennifer shares how her neurodivergent perspective has shaped her career, driving her success and inspiring others to think differently.
