Skye Waterson joins Brandon from New Zealand to break down what ADHD really is—and what it isn’t—especially for adults, business owners, and parents trying to make sense of the “everyone has ADHD” conversation. They dig into burnout, dopamine, why traditional productivity advice often backfires, and how to build systems that work with your brain instead of against it. You’ll also hear practical tools like Skye’s “prioritization filter,” plus real talk on confidence, criticism, and communication at home and at work.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Reframe ADHD as a “spiky profile” so you can lean into strengths without ignoring weaknesses

• Spot the hidden path to burnout—and rebuild work habits before you crash

• Break procrastination by rewarding the start of a task (not just the finish)

• Use “sensory stacking” to make boring work doable without relying on junk dopamine

• Filter your to-do list down to what’s truly urgent so you stop drowning in fake priorities

• Communicate better with ADHD brains by reducing “working memory traps” and writing things down

• Hire support (like an EA) the right way—so they actually cover your weak spots

• Improve focus fast with movement—one of the most evidence-backed tools discussed in the episode
