NonFiltered Podcast

Real conversations about work, life, leadership, and the mental frameworks underneath it all.

What Is NonFiltered?

NonFiltered is a podcast for unpolished, honest conversations with founders, operators, authors, thinkers, and misfits. We explore the mental frameworks that drive decisions, shape identity, and fuel authentic growth.

No scripts. No corporate polish. Just real people diving deep into the philosophies, experiences, and unconventional wisdom that shape how they lead, think, and live.

Each episode is a long-form exploration of what makes exceptional people tick. We talk about perception, intention, discomfort, and the stories we tell ourselves—the invisible forces that determine everything.
