Running a remodeling business requires a lot of focus, but what happens when your brain is constantly pulling you in different directions?

This week, Kyle sits down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation and host of the ADHD Skills Lab podcast, to talk about the unique challenges and strengths that come with being a business owner with ADHD.

Skye shares practical strategies for managing distractions, figuring out what actually deserves your attention, and getting important work done when focusing doesn't come naturally. They also discuss why traditional productivity advice doesn't always work for people with ADHD and how hiring the right team members can help business owners stay organized without having to manage every detail themselves.

Whether you have ADHD or simply struggle to stay focused with everything happening in your business, this conversation offers some fresh ideas for approaching your work in a way that makes sense for you.

If everything in your remodeling business still has to run through you, eventually you become the bottleneck.

This week, Kyle sits down with Curtis Lawson, a Remodelers on the Rise Coach and owner of Crafted Custom Homes, to walk through the Delegate and Elevate exercise and how remodelers can use it to take a closer look at where their time is actually going. Curtis explains how to identify the work you should keep doing, what needs to be handed off, and why even the things you're good at may be holding you back if they continue taking up your time and energy.

They also talk about what effective delegation actually looks like once you decide to let something go, including clearer roles, better job descriptions, training your team, and creating the accountability needed to make sure the work gets done.
