ADHD, AI, and the Future of Focus (Ryan Brazzell)

The ADHD Skills Lab

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

Diagnosed with ADHD at the start of her PhD, Skye Waterson spent years researching what actually works and writing about it for thousands of founders. The pattern she kept finding: ADHD business owners don't have a focus problem, they have an operations problem, because the whole business runs through their own head. Now she and her husband, former programmer Robert Waterson, work as fractional COOs for those founders. They find the bottleneck, hire the fix, and build the system that holds.
