ABOUT ME!
I’m John Torrens, a professor, entrepreneur, and advocate for living a balanced, intentional life.
​
My career has taken me on an incredible journey—founding and scaling businesses in healthcare, education, and wellness while mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs. As a Professor of Entrepreneurial Practice at Syracuse University, I’m passionate about helping others navigate the challenges of building something from the ground up, all while maintaining their well-being.
Hello, and thanks for stopping by!

Lightening in a Bottle
How Entrepreneurs Can Harness Their ADHD to Win
I’ve shared my insights on ADHD and Entrepreneurship in my book, Lightning in a Bottle: How Entrepreneurs Can Harness Their ADHD to Win, and in my popular TEDx talk, ADHD as an Entrepreneur’s Superpower. Through these platforms and more, my goal is to show entrepreneurs how they can thrive in both their professional and personal lives.
