Ever zone out in a meeting and wonder where your brain went? That might be your default mode network. And for people with ADHD, it doesn't always switch off when it should.

Welcome to the first episode in our new Research Recaps series, co-hosted with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD.

In this series, we’re teaming up to break down recent ADHD studies and translate what the research actually means for your life, your work, and your brain. No jargon. No hype. Just real insight you can use.

This week, we’re diving into a fascinating study on the default mode network, the part of your brain that’s active when you’re “resting.” For ADHD brains, it doesn’t always switch off when it should. We’re talking genetics, CBT, and what all of it has to do with zoning out at 2pm.

What we cover:

• What the default mode network is, and why ADHD brains get stuck there
• How CBT might literally change your brain’s connectivity
• What this study says about genetics and attention
• Why your brain drifts off (and what that means for productivity)

Think you're just bad at delegating? You’re not. ADHD makes it harder to translate thoughts into steps, hand things off, and feel safe letting go.

If you’ve got a team (or want one), this is your ADHD-friendly shortcut to working less and scaling more.

Skye takes you inside a real coaching breakdown of her 5-step delegation system—the same one she teaches founders who are too busy, too burned out, or too overwhelmed to explain what needs to be done.

What we cover:

• Why delegation feels emotionally risky for ADHD founders
• How to stop gatekeeping your own business
• Why your team isn’t helping (and it’s not their fault)
• The right way to loop your team in (without micro-managing)

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

ADHD entrepreneurs are smart, capable - and often pricing themselves into burnout.

In this episode, Skye interviews Marcel Petitpas, CEO of Parakeeto and the guy behind the numbers for hundreds of agencies. They dig into why most service businesses struggle with profit (it’s not what you think), and how to finally price for sustainability.

What we cover:

• The ADHD-friendly way to figure out what your services should cost
• The 3 key numbers you need to track (and how to figure them out)
• How to future-proof your pricing so you can actually hire help
• The ADHD-friendly habit that improves pricing, clarity, and confidence

Math trauma ends here.

What we cover:

• The 3 time-based skills your brain may be missing
• Time blindness vs. working memory—what’s the real issue?
• The surprising benefit of visual timers (and what the monkey app got right)

Before Unconventional Organisation, before the coaching, before the 82K followers - there was burnout, academic pivots, and a year spent working in a bakery just to recover.

What we cover:

• What ADHD looks like before you even know you have that
• The power of quitting what no longer fits
• Why consistency feels terrifying - and how to fix it

You’ve got strategies and systems, but you still feel like your brain is always “on.” You might be overlooking your nervous system.

This episode introduces a fast-rising body of ADHD research around polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation. We’re breaking down the science, the controversy, and why this might be the next frontier in ADHD support.

In this episode:

• Why breathing wrong could be keeping you stuck
• What the autonomic nervous system has to do with procrastination, burnout, and freeze mode
• How polyvagal theory explains that “can’t shut down” feeling

No breathwork hype, no vague advice, just real science, grounded insight, and new tools.

You can scale a business on sheer force... for a while. But eventually, ADHD founders burn out, blow up, or walk away.

This episode is your map out of the cycle. Skye shares the behind-the-scenes process she used to stop relying on urgency, reduce decision fatigue, and build a company that doesn’t fall apart the moment she takes a break.

What we cover:

• The ADHD entrepreneur trap no one warns you about
• Why most productivity advice makes things worse
• How to use SOPs (without hating your life)
• The 6-routine cadence that supports growth and your nervous system

If you’re tired of pretending you can do it all forever, this is where it changes.

• What to post when you feel like you're only talking to your friends and family
