Listen Later

World-champion habits aren't just for athletes - they're the secret weapon for ADHD executives juggling chaos and big ambitions.

In this episode, Skye chats with James Laughlin, 7-time world champion musician, bestselling author of Habits of High Performers, and host of the top-ranked Lead on Purpose podcast. James shares how he suspected ADHD tendencies and worked with Skye to build systems for focus, while unpacking the 7 core habits from his book that help high achievers cut through distractions and deliver elite results.

From rewiring limiting beliefs to mastering priorities, this episode is packed with actionable tools for ADHD founders chasing sustainable success without burnout.

What we cover:

  • Why clarity is the ADHD founder's ultimate starting point (and how to avoid shiny object syndrome)
  • Rewiring belief systems that sabotage ambition
  • Why high performers say "no" more - and how it frees up deep work
  • Motivation multipliers: Dopamine strategies and rewards for starting (not just finishing)
  • No-shortcuts strategies for long-term wins
