ADHD and the CEO Mindset: Systems, Self-Care, and Letting Go


Listen Later

Most ADHD entrepreneurs build their success on hustle—until the cracks show. In this episode, Skye talks with Dr. John Torrens, professor, founder, and author of Lightning in a Bottle, about how he built (and sold) multiple companies by learning to delegate, prioritize self-care, and manage his ADHD brain.

What we cover:

  • Why ADHD founders struggle to let go of control (and how to fix it)
  • The surprising link between hyperactivity and entrepreneurial success
  • How John avoids burnout while running companies and mentoring CEOs
  • Why self-care isn’t “soft”—it’s the foundation of sustainable growth
  • The mindset shifts that turn visionary bottlenecks into scalable systems

P.S. If you feel like the bottleneck in your business and life feels like chaos, click here to apply for a call with me. We’ll discuss your struggles and explore systems to support you in growing without the overwhelm.
