The ADHD Skills Lab

Most ADHD interventions only work if you actually stick with them. So what happens when the intervention is something your brain actually wants to do?
Skye joins Will to unpack a systematic review of 22 studies on virtual reality interventions for ADHD. They look at surprisingly high adherence rates, what the research suggests about attention and working memory, and whether improvements inside VR actually carry over into everyday life.
They also dig into the different ways VR is being used, from cognitive games and movement-based training to simulated real-world scenarios, plus where the evidence is still too thin to draw firm conclusions.

What We Cover:
Why adherence rates of 85 percent or higher caught their attention
Three different ways researchers are using VR for ADHD
What the studies suggest about attention and working memory
Why VR is being studied alongside existing ADHD treatments
The big question of whether improvements transfer to real life
Reported side effects and the limitations of the current research

You’re guessing how long things take.
That guess feels reasonable.
It’s just wrong, over and over again.
In the last episode, we broke down why ADHD time blindness happens. This one is about what to do about it.
Because the real problem isn’t planning. It’s relying on estimation at all.
In this episode, Skye and Robert walk through how to replace your internal clock with systems that actually hold up in real work:
why you can’t “get better” at estimating time
how to use past projects instead of guessing
how teams quietly adjust for you (and why that creates tension)
why buffers and “extra time” don’t work
how to build timelines that don’t collapse halfway through
If you’re tired of missing deadlines you genuinely thought were realistic, this will show you what’s actually going wrong, and what works instead.

You can be successful on paper and still feel stuck.
In this episode, Skye talks with entrepreneur and investor Kassidy Warren about leaving the corporate “safe path,” taking real risks, and the identity shift required to stop playing small. They unpack rejection, procrastination, reinvesting before results, and what it actually means to turn pro — especially with an ADHD brain.
If you’ve built something stable but know you’re capable of more, this one will hit.
What we cover:
The hidden cost of corporate stability and “golden handcuffs”
Why procrastination is fear in disguise
How to handle rejection without shrinking
The mindset shift from amateur to professional
Acting before you feel ready — and why waiting keeps you stuck

You keep solving the same business problems, but they keep coming back in different forms.
After reviewing more than a dozen research episodes on ADHD founder struggles, four recurring founder patterns emerged: the Last Minute Hero, the Overwhelmed Architect, the Vision Caster, and the Pivot Chaser.
These aren't random quirks. They're recurring ways ADHD can show up as a business grows. More importantly, all four point back to the same underlying challenge: there isn't an operations layer between the founder and the day-to-day business.
In this episode, Skye and Robbie break down each founder type, why it happens, how it affects your team, and the practical operational changes that can reduce the friction.
What We Cover
Why the Last Minute Hero trains their team to expect emergencies
What overwhelms the Overwhelmed Architect
Why the Vision Caster struggles to turn ideas into execution through other people
What drives the Pivot Chaser to keep changing direction
The operational gap connecting all four founder types
Which founder type you relate to most and what to do next

You've read the books. You've tried to think your way into a better mindset. But the changes never seem to stick.
In this episode, Mick Hawes shares why he believes that's because mindset isn't something you change directly. Drawing on more than 35 years coaching business owners in high-complexity industries like custom home building, he explains why your mindset is the result of the systems, environment, habits, language, and other external influences shaping your daily life.
Skye and Mick explore why changing your environment often works better than relying on motivation, how to make decisions based on principle instead of emotion, and the practical daily ritual Mick uses to build momentum without waiting to "feel like it."
What We Cover
Why trying to change your thinking directly often doesn't work
How your environment affects focus and decision-making
Why making decisions on principle beats making them on emotion
Purpose statements vs. job descriptions for building better teams
Mick's four-step Personal Success Ritual
The "Dream Catcher" exercise for breaking self-imposed limitations
Why your input ultimately determines your output
