This week on Unstuck Career, we sit down with Joshua Frederico, a true visionary who's turned what some might call a liability into his ultimate superpower. From surviving the “toxic 9 to 5” grind to building his own path as an entrepreneur in Las Vegas, Joshua brings raw honesty about what it means to start over, embrace your differences, and finally bet on yourself. He shares how his late diagnosis of ADHD and autism not only flipped his self-perception but gave birth to the “golden squirrel” concept—a rallying cry for anyone whose mind works differently and who’s ready to see that as an advantage, not a setback.
We dig deep into the realities of leaving a comfortable—but soul-crushing—corporate job and what it actually takes to launch your own business or side hustle in a world dominated by new technology and rapid change. Along the way, Joshua unpacks the power of harnessing AI to solve real-world problems, why authenticity is the best defense against scams, and how the very traits that once made you feel like an outsider could be the key to your greatest success. Whether you’re building for yourself or just dreaming about it, this episode will leave you both reassured and fired up.
