How Tim Heller Built Two Voice Over Businesses With ADHD, Creativity, and the Right Help
Jan 22, 2026
STARTING AND SCALING TWO VO BUSINESSES
What happens when a musical theater brain, ADHD, and relentless creativity collide with voice over entrepreneurship?
In this episode, I sit down with Tim Heller, a wildly creative voice actor and the founder behind Tim Heller Creative and Audiobook Bonanza. We talk about what it really looks like to build two businesses at once, why hiring help can expose the gaps in your systems (in the best way), and how to stay productive when your brain wants to sprint in 12 directions.
We also get into Tim’s infamous 1980s German alter ego “Dieter Unz,” why “I don’t do audiobooks” people keep ending up in audiobooks, and how to reframe mistakes so they don’t feel catastrophic.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Tim went from musical theater to voice over, and built a business after a major health pivot
- Why hiring help can reveal the cracks in your systems (and what to do about it)
- How Tim built Audiobook Bonanza, and why he cares so much about making the process better for talent
- The truth about “cringy marketing emails,” learning by doing, and failing forward
- ADHD productivity strategies, anchor points, and the urgent vs. important matrix
- Why creativity and fun are not distractions, they’re fuel
- How a Mario Kart tournament became a real community builder at conferences
