What if the business model of the world's most powerful companies could be summarised in five words? Steal your life. Sell it.

That's not a metaphor. That's what happens every time you open Instagram, scroll TikTok, or double-tap your way through another hour of your existence.
In this episode, I sit down with Steve Puri — a man with a genuinely unusual vantage point. Former senior executive at DreamWorks and Fox. Part of the visual effects team on Independence Day, which won the Academy Award. Three startups, $20 million raised, and one successful exit. He has seen Hollywood from the inside, Silicon Valley from the inside, and he is not pulling any punches.

We get into what the shareholder calls actually say versus what Mark Zuckerberg tells Congress. We talk about the neurochemistry of endless scrolling and why the best behavioural economists and casino designers in the world have been hired specifically to keep you on the app longer. And we talk about what you can do instead — including the science of flow state and Steve's own platform built to help people do their best work and get their lives back.

This one has a lot in it.
