The Brazilian-born American entrepreneur David Neeleman founded three commercial airlines, Morris Air, JetBlue Airways and Azul Brazilian Airlines.
In 2000, he disclosed to a media channel about having an adult attention-deficit disorder. However, he explains that with the disorganization, procrastination and inability to focus, and all the other bad things that came with adult-deficit disorder, there also came creativity and the ability to take risks. In his personal life, matter was quite worse. His wife was not able to figure out what he was thinking and his kids always wanted him to focus on one thing, which he found difficult to do.
