Shownotes
You've built systems before. You probably built them well. The problem wasn't creating them. The problem was maintaining them once the novelty wore off.
Wednesday's episode explored why ADHD founders often struggle with operational consistency. This episode covers the structural solution.
The systems integrator role sits between the ADHD founder and the rest of the business. It captures ideas, filters priorities, protects the team from constant pivots, and builds the documentation that turns founder insight into repeatable execution.
Skye and Robbie break down the four functions of the role, how it differs from an EA or COO, how it scales as a business grows, and the hiring mistakes that cause founders to recreate the same bottlenecks they're trying to solve.
