To know me is to know that my favourite show is BoJack Horseman.

You know how some people fall asleep to Friends? Or The Office? Comfort shows that are warm, familiar, a little dull?

Yeah, not me.

I fall asleep to BoJack Horseman. For those who haven’t seen the show it's an animated Netflix series set in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals coexist. It's surreal, hilarious, and occasionally devastating. It's a cartoon, but the themes include generational trauma, depression, self-sabotage, addiction, and the unbearable weight of being.

Cozy, right?

But this post isn’t about BoJack. It’s about Todd.

Todd Chavez. The most lovable idiot-genius on television. The king of chaotic energy. The human version of “I have an idea” followed immediately by “please, don’t actually do that.”

Because here’s my theory: Todd is the ultimate ADHD founder.

💡 Big Ideas. Wild Execution. Zero Shame.

Todd is what happens when creative brilliance meets complete chaos.

He’s a guy who comes up with the most unhinged business ideas you’ve ever heard. Some of them take off. Most of them crash and burn.

He has zero business training, no sense of regulation or legality, wild optimism, endless enthusiasm and absolutely no plan

The pattern is unmistakable. Todd is the walking archetype of a founder with ADHD:

🚀 Endless creative energy
🔁 Starts strong, rarely finishes
🧩 Hyperfocus… until a shiny new idea appears

But he moves. He builds. He creates. And sometimes? It actually works.

The problem isn’t ideas. It’s follow-through. It's structure. It's sabotage, sometimes by himself, sometimes by others.

It’s heartbreaking. And real. Because so many neurodivergent founders know that story.

So, this article isn’t just about the chaos, but about what happens when you have big ideas but no support system. Todd flails not because he’s not smart, but because he’s unsupported, distracted, and disorganized. Here is a breakdown of his ventures, and what they teach us about how ADHD founders can thrive with the right kind of VA support.

🧩 The Todd Business Portfolio: A Non-Exhaustive, Highly Questionable List: A Glimpse into Todd’s startup résumé:

The Hip-Hopera

In a rare moment of artistic clarity, Todd writes a full-length hip-hop opera. A respected director calls it “brilliant” and wants to stage it. But a friend, terrified of being left behind, deliberately sabotages him by sneaking a copy of Todd’s favorite addictive video game into his eyeline. Predictably, Todd spirals. The project never materializes.

It’s one of the saddest plotlines in the series, and a reminder that talent without support, or worse, surrounded by toxicity, often goes unrealized.

🧠 Lesson: Distraction kills momentum. An ADHD support Virtual Assistant can help you protect your creative time and shield you from sabotage - accidental or otherwise.

The Clown Dentists

An innovative (read: horrifying) hybrid of clowns and dental services. Todd figured parents would love a two-for-one deal: kids get their teeth cleaned and entertained. What actually happened? Screaming children, dental malpractice, and a swift shutdown by the Better Business Bureau. The staff end up living in the woods, contract rabies, and become a public health hazard.

Which gives Todd another idea…

The Rabid Clown Workout Program

Inspired by his newly rabid ClownDentist staff, Todd creates a fitness startup for people who lack motivation to exercise. His solution? Release rabid clown-dentists into the wild to chase them. Terrified cardio = effective cardio. (Yes, really.)

🧠 Lesson: This is the kind of idea that might survive in a ChatGPT echo chamber - but a real ADHD support Virtual Assistant with human judgment would have shut it down instantly.

The Halloween Store in January

A retail concept so specific it could only come from Todd’s brain. It sells Halloween costumes… exclusively in January. Todd insists it fills a gap in the market. It does not. Inventory piles up. Customers do not.

🧠 Lesson: Just because you can say yes to something doesn’t mean you should. A great ADHD support Virtual Assistant can help you prioritize real opportunities over chaotic distractions.

The Unlicensed Disneyland

Todd decides to build his own Disneyland, not realizing the real one exists. And honestly? It’s kind of impressive. There are rides. Characters. Animatronics. But also: no permits, no insurance, and deeply questionable safety standards. It’s eventually shut down for obvious reasons.

🧠 Lesson: Great ideas need great operations. An ADHD support Virtual Assistant can help with putting systems in place so your company doesn't implode after success.

Cabracadabra

Originally a ride-sharing app for women, by women, designed to create a safe space after too many stories of harassment by male drivers. The early concept is solid. But once the female drivers start getting harassed too, Todd replaces them with women “used to being harassed”—i.e., whale strippers.

The app devolves into chaos, attracts a deeply sketchy user base… and somehow still makes money. Todd sells the company, only to lose the entire fortune almost immediately through a licensing mix-up. Naturally.

🧠 Lesson: A good ADHD support Virtual Assistant acts as an ethical compass - not just a doer, but someone who pushes back when something’s reckless or dangerous.

Henry Fondle

Todd creates a boyfriend robot, almost by accident. The robot immediately becomes a wildly successful CEO, saying nothing but wildly inappropriate phrases, which the board misinterprets as visionary corporate strategy. Henry Fondle ends up running the company, doing media interviews… before he kills it when it all collapses in scandal. Once again: Todd builds something absurd, it inexplicably succeeds, and then falls apart in glorious fashion.

Pasta Strainer Import Scheme (with Mr. Peanutbutter)

Todd helps Mr. Peanutbutter buy thousands of pasta strainers on a whim. There’s no plan, no market research, and no need. Just a vague belief that “people love straining things.” The result? A warehouse full of unused strainers and one very confused assistant. Eventually they become useful when they are used to rescue people in an accident at sea.

🧠 Lesson: An ADHD support Virtual Assistant can save you from wasting money on shiny objects—and help you find surprising ways to repurpose mistakes.

That’s just a sampling. For the full Todd experience, go and binge the whole series. You’ll see what I mean.

🎯 What Todd Teaches Founders (Especially the Neurodivergent Ones)

Todd is a warning and a celebration. He isn’t just comic relief. He’s what it looks like when someone is brilliant, chaotic, and trying their best in a world that doesn’t always make space for brains like his.

He shows us what happens when you have bold ideas but no structure or good support. Vision without execution. Potential without scaffolding.

Neurodivergent brilliance needs systems, not to stifle creativity, but to protect it : That’s Where We Come In.
