You make a to-do list.
Then you avoid it all day.
For many ADHD professionals, the problem isn’t motivation, it’s how the workday is structured.
In this conversation, Skye speaks with Kyle Vamvouris, founder of SalesThread and the strategist behind 87 B2B sales teams, about how he actually works.
Instead of rigid productivity systems, Kyle relies on open calendar space, rapid experimentation, and what he calls “sandbox days.”
In the episode, Kyle explains:
• Why most productivity systems collapse after a week
• How empty calendar space can produce better work than tightly scheduled days
• What building dozens of sales teams taught him about focus and decision-making
• Why ADHD curiosity can be a strategic advantage in business
• How AI tools are changing how he experiments and builds companies
