Are you a visionary founder, an innovator, someone whose mind races with brilliant ideas, yet you often find yourself navigating a persistent fog? Do you feel like the standard playbooks for business success were written for someone else entirely? If you're nodding along, if you crave clarity but resist rigid structures, and if you’re tired of the relentless cycle of passion followed by burnout, then this episode of The Lighthouse Sessions is a beacon for you.In this profound and deeply validating conversation, your host Jeff Borschowa sits down with the remarkable Eryn Anitavi, a specialist in business systems, neurodiversity, and leadership. Eryn isn’t just an expert; she’s a fellow traveler who intimately understands the unique landscape of the neurodivergent mind in the entrepreneurial world. If you’ve ever felt "too much," "too sensitive," or like you’re trying to fit your expansive, creative genius into a one-size-fits-all box, Eryn is here to tell you: You are not broken, and you don’t need to "simmer down."This episode is a masterclass for founders, especially those who identify as "neurospicy" (a term we love!), who are ready to move beyond cookie-cutter solutions and embrace strategies that honor their true nature. Eryn Anitavi unpacks the real reasons why conventional systems can feel like torture and how to build personalized frameworks that actually liberate your creativity and drive, rather than stifle them.Here’s a glimpse of the transformative insights Eryn shares, specifically for visionary founders like you (our "Alex Rivers"):Understanding Your Neurodivergent Operating System: Discover why the common advice often misses the mark for minds wired like yours. Eryn delves into the nuances of ADHD, autism, and other neurotypes in leadership, exploring the dynamic interplay between the craving for novelty and the need for grounding patterns.Systems That Flex & Flow: Forget rigid, time-block-everything approaches! Eryn reveals how to create "sets of activities" and flexible routines that provide structure without sacrificing your innate adaptability. Learn about her innovative "Daily Intentions" system that empowers self-direction and uncovers hidden patterns in your workflow.The Truth About Energy (It's Not Just Time Management!): This is a game-changer. Eryn explains why "doing more" isn't the answer. She introduces her "Clarity Matrix," helping you identify activities that put you in your "Brilliance Zone" (high proficiency + high positivity) versus those that leave you "Shattered." Understand that energy, like calories, is burned at different rates by different tasks and that there are distinct types of energy (social, mental, movement) that need specific forms of replenishment.Dopamine Regulation vs. Productivity Hacks: Uncover the crucial difference between needing urgency for dopamine regulation and simply managing your calendar. This insight alone can free you from immense self-blame.Finding Support That Actually Supports You: Eryn discusses why standard VAs often fall short for visionary entrepreneurs and what to look for in executive support that can truly anticipate your needs and help you stay in your zone of genius.Your "Superpower" & Your "Kryptonite": Embrace the duality of your strengths. Your incredible capacity for deep focus or idea generation comes with inherent challenges. Learning to manage this dynamic is key to sustainable success and well-being.This isn't just a theoretical discussion. Eryn provides practical examples and frameworks that you can begin to apply immediately to reduce overwhelm, enhance your natural strengths, and build a business that feels both successful and soulfully aligned. It's about creating a business where you can turn your volume UP, full-on, and let your unique genius shine without apology.#Neurodiversity #Entrepreneurship #BusinessSystems #Leadership #EnergyManagement #VisionaryFounder #TheLighthouseSessions #ErynAnitavi
