Episode Description

Skye sits down with Carly Braker, founder of Avialan Blue, to talk about building a high tech areospace engineering consultancy while navigating ADHD. Carly shares how she masked symptoms growing up, why the “real world” hit harder, and the adjustments she had to make when deep focus, sensory overwhelm, and impostor feelings collided with entrepreneurship.

What we cover:

  • Why gifted kids often miss their own ADHD signs
  • The crash that happens when school structure disappears
  • The identity shift from employee to founder
  • What it took to create stability in a high focus consulting business
  • How behaviour mapping helped her create systems that actually work

We help service business owners unblock their next $50-500k with simple systems that focus their brain. Watch this video to see how we do it, then take the program walkthrough.
