# Trust, Decay, and Retooling - A Discussion with Michael P.
Jun 05, 2026
Dear Readers,
Constantly refining and reinventing systems, matching today’s energy level, and the need to preserve one’s own voice can all jockey for the structure of the moment.
Join me and Michael Porter, a member of the Waves of Focus, as [we discuss how to work with a wandering mind rather than fight it](https://rhythms-of-focus.captivate.fm/episode/adhd-helpful-tools-trust-decay-refinement/).
Stream below or on your favorite podcast app.
You can see more about what Michael Porter is getting up to at [his website](https://www.michaelpporter.com/).
