Ever wonder how humans figured out that setting food on fire makes it safer to eat? We kick off this episode by diving into the prehistoric mystery of cooking—and how our ancestors may have stumbled into one of evolution’s best hacks.

Then, we get personal. If your social battery is dead on arrival, you’re not alone. We talk about why social exhaustion happens and share some recharging strategies that might actually make you want to leave the house again.

Finally, we pivot to the modern-day jungle: corporate deadlines. Why do so many companies push products out the door before they’re ready, just to meet an arbitrary launch date? We explore real-world examples of how forced deadlines can lead to failure, and what businesses (and creatives) can learn from that pressure.

🔊 Fire, failure, and fatigue—yeah, we’re going there.
