📘 My book — #1 Amazon Bestseller (US, Germany & France): amzn.to/4klHtuP
I spent twenty years inside corporate work before I started reading Orwell seriously. What I found changed how I see almost everything. This is about doublespeak, self-monitoring, and the quiet ways modern work shapes how we think about our own time. Not a lecture. Not advice. Just something I've been sitting with for a while. If any of this sounds familiar — you're probably not imagining it.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 — Orwell Died In 1950. Nothing Has Changed.

04:39 — Why You Feel Guilty For Your Own Free Time
08:21 — Why The System Fires The Good Ones
11:36 — What This Is Actually Doing To Your Body
13:58 — You Did The Work. They'll Delete You Anyway.
17:44 — What I'm Finally Allowing Myself To Say
21:53 — Behind the scenes vlog
