Life Unboxed

I talk about why the high points and the ending can shape how we remember an experience, from extra chips at Five Guys to the free ice cream at Flat Iron and a concert encore. I also explain how I think about this when building Been There, especially the moment someone posts a place.

I talk about the tension between working hard and knowing what to work on, and why a long day doesn't always mean progress. From school to work, relationships and learning Italian, I explore when to keep going and when to question the direction.

How does £17 for popcorn start to look like a good deal? I talk about anchoring, from cinema prices to salary negotiations and fragrance adverts, and how the number we see first shapes what feels reasonable.

What 20% of what we do makes 80% of the difference? I talk about the Pareto principle in work, the gym and everyday life, and why simplifying things doesn’t mean trying to optimise every part of life.

The behaviour you reward is the behaviour you get. In this episode, I talk about how incentives shape the way we work, why ownership matters, and what happens when a system rewards the wrong things.

The habits that stick are the ones you can’t ignore. In this episode, I talk about how to make good habits more obvious—and bad ones disappear—by changing what’s in front of you.

Sharing some thoughts on why I’m a bit sceptical of TikTok. It’s not about the trends — it’s about what happens when super smart people get paid to keep us scrolling. Feels worth questioning.

This one’s about health — and what happens when it slips. I talk about being knocked out this week, how quickly everything else stops mattering, and the simple things that hold you up: sleep, food, movement, connection.

Confessions (1)

We all like to feel busy. Reading, planning, replying, talking. But are you actually moving forward — or just collecting inputs? In this episode, I talk about the trap of staying busy without making real progress, share a few personal stories, and ask one simple question: Where’s your energy actually going?

Sometimes a day just feels off. You’re not sad. You’re not burnt out. But your head’s loud, your body’s still, and nothing feels right. In this episode, I talk about those moments — the ones where thinking doesn’t help, and why the only thing that shifts anything is moving. Walk, run, gym, stretch — whatever. Not to fix the day. Just to get through it.

You don’t need confidence. You don’t need a plan. You just need to start. In this episode, I talk about the trap of waiting until things feel perfect — and why the only way to build clarity, momentum, and confidence is by moving before you’re ready. If you’re stuck at the starting line, this one’s for you.
