Get ready for an episode that’s as insightful as it is inspiring. In this edition of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams welcomes the dynamic and deeply relatable Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organization. Broadcasting from opposite ends of the world—Texas and New Zealand—Don and Skye dive into a conversation that will resonate with every entrepreneur who’s ever struggled with focus, burnout, or the pressure to “do it all.”

Skye shares her powerful journey from academia to entrepreneurship, revealing how a late ADHD diagnosis during her PhD became the catalyst for a complete life and career transformation. She opens up about the emotional and financial toll of shutting down her first business—a healthy frozen food startup—during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that painful pivot led to the creation of a more agile, purpose-driven venture.

Key Insights:

  • How ADHD shows up in entrepreneurs—and why it’s more common than you think
  • The dangers of “shiny object syndrome” and how to overcome it
  • Skye’s neuroscience-based “2-Minute Focus Formula” for regaining control of your day
  • The importance of identifying what’s already working in your business
  • Why failure isn’t the end—it’s often the beginning of something better
