August 05, 2026 When Everything Feels Important
When everything feels important, it becomes harder to know what actually deserves your attention.
Every notification.
Every message.
Every opportunity.
Every platform.
Every trend.
Every conversation.
Modern life constantly makes things feel urgent, even when most of them are not.
In this episode of Unproduced, I reflect on attention, distraction, podcasting, saying no, and the quiet cost of treating everything like it matters right now.
This is not really about productivity.
It’s about learning to protect your attention, choose what deserves your energy, and stop reacting to every bit of noise around you.
Because when everything feels important, nothing gets the attention it truly deserves.

00:00 When Everything Feels Important
01:18 Attention, not productivity
06:18 Everything feels urgent
09:08 The cost of distraction
14:10 What podcasting taught me about attention
18:53 Not everything deserves a response
22:05 What I’m trying to protect
24:33 What actually matters?

July 29, 2026 What Podcasting Keeps Teaching Me
When I started Produced By, I expected to learn about business.
Instead, podcasting has taught me far more about people.
After more than 170 conversations with founders, creators and entrepreneurs, I've noticed certain patterns that keep appearing. Not because everyone is the same, but because many of our struggles are surprisingly similar.
In this episode, I reflect on what podcasting has quietly taught me about curiosity, success, relationships, comparison and why the people we admire rarely have everything figured out.
If you've ever wondered what years of conversations with inspiring people can teach you beyond business, I hope this episode gives you a different perspective.

00:00 Introduction
01:53 I expected to learn about business
04:09 Successful people don't have everything figured out
07:18 Success means different things to different people
09:26 Why relationships matter more than numbers
12:08 The people I admire are the most curious
14:38 Every successful person has an invisible story
16:40 The greatest lesson podcasting has given me
18:47 One final question

July 22, 2026 Success Is More Personal Than We Think
We often compare ourselves to other people without first asking a simple question.
Are we even trying to build the same life?
In this episode, I reflect on why success is far more personal than we often realise, what podcasting has taught me about different definitions of success, and why comparing yourself to someone else's scoreboard can quietly lead you away from what actually matters.
If you've ever questioned whether you're falling behind, felt influenced by social media, or wondered what success genuinely looks like for you, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause and define it on your own terms.

July 15, 2026 Why I'm Thinking Longer Term
We live in a world that rewards speed.
Faster growth. Faster results. Faster success.
But most meaningful things don't work that way.
In this episode, I reflect on why I've been thinking longer term, how podcasting, health, LinkedIn and jiu-jitsu have changed my perspective, and why the most valuable progress is often invisible while it's happening.
If you've ever felt impatient, compared yourself to others or questioned whether you're making enough progress, I hope this conversation reminds you that the things worth building rarely happen overnight.

July 08, 2026 The Problem With Chasing More
Many of us spend our lives chasing more.
More success. More followers. More money. More milestones.
But what if the problem isn't ambition? What if the problem is that "more" is a moving target?
In this episode, I reflect on why so many of the things we once dreamed about quickly become normal, why achievement often creates new expectations instead of lasting satisfaction, and what podcasting, health, and looking back at my younger self have taught me about appreciating the journey.
If you've ever felt like the finish line keeps moving, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, reflect on how far you've already come, and think more intentionally about what you're really chasing.

July 01, 2026 Why Comparison Makes Us Rush
One of the most common pieces of advice we hear is: don't compare yourself to other people.
But what if comparison isn't dangerous because it hurts our confidence? What if it's dangerous because it changes our pace?
In this episode, I reflect on why comparison often creates urgency rather than jealousy, how social media can make us feel behind, what podcasting has taught me about long-term thinking, and why defining success on your own terms matters more than chasing someone else's timeline.
If you're building a business, a personal brand, a creative project, or simply trying to make progress without rushing your own journey, I hope you'll find something useful here.

Welcome to the first episode of Unproduced, a solo podcast about building, training, creating, and trying to live a meaningful life without losing yourself in the process. In this episode, I share why I started the podcast, reflect on a recent ankle injury, and explore some of the ideas that have been on my mind lately.

From health and longevity to ambition, comparison, success, and podcasting, this is an honest conversation about what it means to keep growing while staying grounded. If you're building something of your own and trying to enjoy the journey rather than constantly chasing the next milestone, I hope you'll find something useful here.
