Presidential Creativity: Leaders Who Overcame the Obstacles


Happy President’s Day! Ever wondered what some of our past presidents would be like if they had a creative business or a blog? Turns out, quite a few of them had artistic passions, learning challenges, and even traits that align with ADHD!

JFK: The ADHD Icon Before It Had a Name

John F. Kennedy was known for his high energy, quick thinking, and ability to hyperfocus—all classic ADHD traits. He thrived under pressure and had an incredible ability to switch gears quickly. If he were alive today, he’d probably be the guy impulsively buying 14 different types of resin molds at 2 AM because he just had to try them all. 😆

FDR: The Original Blogger?

Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn’t just a president—he was also a writer. He penned articles, speeches, and letters that kept the country motivated during tough times. If blogging had been a thing in the 1930s, you know FDR would’ve had a daily motivational blog with deep reflections, leadership advice, and probably some witty sarcasm.

LBJ & Roosevelt: Learning Disabilities Didn’t Stop Them

Both Lyndon B. Johnson and Theodore Roosevelt had learning disabilities, but that didn’t stop them from leading the country. They proved that being a little “different” in how you process information doesn’t hold you back—it just means you have to find your own way of doing things (sound familiar, ADHD friends?).

Carter & Bush: Hands-On Creativity

  • Jimmy Carter was all about woodworking. If Etsy had been around in the ‘70s, you know he’d have a custom furniture shop with a "Handcrafted by Jimmy" stamp on every piece.
  • George W. Bush took up painting after his presidency—proving that it’s never too late to explore a creative side. (Hey, George, if you need custom tumblers for those paintbrushes, hit me up! 😉)

What’s the Takeaway?

Even some of the most powerful leaders in history had creative passions, learning struggles, and probably would have thrived with an ADHD diagnosis (if they had known). Whether it’s writing, painting, woodworking, or hyper fixating on a new crafting method (guilty!), creativity is a force that keeps us moving forward.

So, if you’re out here juggling ADHD, running a business, and picking up yet another hobby (because why not?), just remember—you’re in pretty good company. 😉

From Pandemic Hobby to Moodsips Customs: How I Turned a Random Craft into a Business

 You know how people say, "Find what you love and make money doing it"? Yeah, I didn’t plan on that happening. But here we are. Let me tell you how I accidentally turned my crafty quarantine boredom into Moodsips Customs, LLC. It all started during the pandemic when we were all stuck inside, losing track of time and binge-watching way too many shows. In a desperate attempt to keep my sanity, I decided to try resin art. No real reason—just something new to keep me from online shopping myself into debt. So, I made myself a rolling tray with an Aries logo on it (because, obviously, Aries energy is unmatched). It was just for me, something cool to have around the house. But then, I made the crucial mistake of posting it on Facebook. Next thing I knew, people were sliding into my DMs asking where they could get one. Friends, family, random internet strangers—everyone wanted a custom tray. And they were willing to pay. At first, I was just charging for supplies, but then I realize...
