  • Summary

  • Your brain wasn’t built for waste. For 50,000 years, humans worked with precision, purpose, and efficiency—because survival demanded it. Every action had to matter. Every resource had to be maximized.

    Now? You sit in meetings that go nowhere. You rewrite reports that don’t matter. You watch work get done, undone, and redone again—while your own workload keeps piling up. It’s not just frustrating. It’s unnatural.

    This episode breaks down:

    • Why inefficiency in the workplace creates a deep, instinctual stress in high performers.
    • How modern business wastes human potential—and why your brain fights against it.
    • Tactical ways to cut through the noise, protect your energy, and stop caring about pointless work.

    If you feel the slow, grinding exhaustion of watching your time, effort, and focus go to waste, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Tune in now. Stay wild. Stay excellent.
