AI is redefining work, but for ADHD founders, the question isn’t whether to use it, it’s how.

In this episode, Skye sits down with Ryan Brazzell, entrepreneur, founder of Assistant Launch, and system/AI strategist who helps founders “bend time” using systems and executive support. Ryan has built and scaled multiple 7- and 8-figure companies by applying AI, systems thinking, and radical delegation.

Together they dig into how AI can support ADHD brains - reducing overwhelm, automating decision fatigue, and freeing up mental space - and where the danger lies in turning it into another distraction.

What we cover:

• Why ADHD brains are drawn to AI tools, and when they backfire
• How Ryan uses AI + systems to reclaim focus and execution
• Practical ways to delegate routine tasks to AI without losing control
• The subtle traps of veneer automation vs real system design
• What AI means for the future of work and focus in ADHD entrepreneurs

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.

• 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
