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

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
