Rails Optional Ep. 7: Curiosity Didn't Kill The Cat

Rails Optional is what happens when two neurodivergent former HR pros stop pretending corporate made sense and start building something better, out loud. We’re Nicole and Deb—both in corporate recovery, both allergic to bullshit, and both deeply curious about how work, brains, and systems could function if they weren’t quietly draining the life out of everyone.

We talk corporate recovery, ADHD entrepreneurship, AI that doesn’t suck, and how to build a life and business that don’t drain you—one tangent at a time. Expect sharp systems thinking and “oh god, same” stories from people who’ve seen behind the corporate curtain and are done pretending the emperor has clothes. We go deep, we go sideways, and we’re absolutely fine with both.

This isn’t another “everything is broken, lol” late-stage capitalism podcast. It’s a slightly feral corner of the internet where we’re allowed to be brilliant and ridiculous in the same breath, where we say the quiet parts out loud, and where “stop pretending corporate made sense” is the starting point, not the punchline. Whether we make you nod along, rage-text a friend, or finally exhale because someone is naming what you’ve been living, you’ll have a reaction—and that’s exactly where the magic happens. <a href="https://railsoptional.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">railsoptional.substack.com</a>
