What if the reason you feel behind, distracted, or exhausted isn't a lack of discipline, but a system designed to take your time without you noticing?

In this conversation, I sit down with Steven Puri, a former Hollywood studio executive turned founder of The Sukha Company, to unpack how our attention is quietly being pulled away from the lives we actually want to live.

Steven shares the moment he realized his time was no longer his own, what it cost him personally and professionally, and why high performance without control leads straight to burnout. Drawing from his experience in film, tech, and behavioural science, we explore how distraction, procrastination, and perfectionism slowly erode our sense of agency, and what it really takes to get it back.

We talk about flow states, why some days feel energizing while others disappear, and how small, intentional shifts can help you reclaim your focus without blowing up your life. This is not about hustle or doing more. It's about doing what matters before your days quietly slip away.

If you have ever ended a day wondering where the time went, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar.

🎧 Plus, we settle the long-debated question: Is Die Hard actually a Christmas movie?
