Back again with another curated clip from one of your favorite episodes—and this one hits hard. Perry opens up with a whiskey-soaked story about brilliance, burnout, and brutal honesty from a lost friend. What follows is a no-holds-barred breakdown of why intelligence means jack without execution, and how most people are addicted to comfort, not committed to growth.

This Train Wreck cut explores what separates talkers from doers, and why being articulate might be more valuable than being smart in today’s AI-dominated, voice-first world. Emma pushes Perry on ambition, wearable tech, and the myth that you can win big without giving something up.

We cover:

• The power of making the obvious sound profound
• Why most successful leaders aren’t the smartest in the room
• The rise of voice-first leadership and on-camera credibility
• AI's coming kill-shot to user interfaces and what’s next for tech
• The harsh difference between wanting something and sacrificing for it
