EP 166 Part 1: The ADHD Advantage No One Talks About in Business

Most business owners think their biggest challenge is discipline. Work harder. Focus more. Push through. But what if the real issue isn't motivation at all? In this episode of The ToolShed Podcast, Mick Hawes sits down with ADHD strategist and academic Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation, to unpack how ADHD actually shows up in business. Many entrepreneurs struggle with time blindness, working memory challenges, and executive function, which can lead to missed deadlines, forgotten tasks, and constant frustration despite knowing exactly what needs to be done. This conversation is particularly relevant for construction business owners, builders, and entrepreneurs who often juggle multiple responsibilities, site demands, and constant decision-making.
