“Pointless” Conversations Matter | Blue Collar vs White Collar Coworkers | Ep. #180


Listen Later

Bullshit conversations aren’t a waste of time — they’re a reset.

 

In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about why joking around, small talk, and meaningless conversations actually play a critical role in mental health, stress relief, and human connection. Whether it’s banter after a hard workout, laughing with coworkers, chatting with strangers, or messing around with your partner, these moments help us detach from pressure long enough to keep moving forward.

 

I also break down the stark difference between blue collar and white collar work culture:

  • Blue collar coworkers may be brutally honest to your face, but they’re loyal, supportive, and willing to teach you how to succeed.
  • White collar coworkers often communicate politely and professionally, yet hide blame, resentment, and competition behind fake smiles and corporate language.
  •  

    This episode blends humour, hard truths, and lived experience to explore authenticity, connection, and why honesty — even when it’s uncomfortable — matters more than polished words.

    If you’ve ever questioned workplace culture, fake positivity, or the role of humour in surviving life’s stress, this conversation will hit home.
