À propos de ce contenu audio

Not Playing Along is a podcast about reversing absurd corporate (and cultural) dynamics.

>

Why do we normalize irrational behavior? Make up rules that don't make sense? Hurt each other (sometimes intentionally)?

Most of us assume this is just how professional environments operate.

But what if the problem isn’t the people at all?

Not Playing Along explores the hidden incentives shaping behavior inside professional environments — why they push people toward the very dynamics everyone hates, cost companies enormous results, and how changing them could unlock not just happier people, but far better business outcomes.

  • 8. (GUEST STORY) *Why* Great Workplaces Take So Long to Appear — And *What* Would Change That — OVERNIGHT — While Creating Millions ($)
    May 11 2026

    If you’ve ever worked in a place where leaders seemed to be stuck in "ancient" times, rules didn't make sense, and the environment felt unnecessarily controlling — this episode will feel relatable. Most people think “toxic culture” comes from difficult personalities. But it’s actually driven by a system where people are rewarded for the wrong behaviors. The result? Micromanagement, arbitrary rules… colleagues "quietly quitting" and top talent quietly leaving. In this episode, we break down why these environments emerge, what they’re actually compensating for, and what would make great workplaces appear — almost instantly.

  • 7. (SOLO STORY) Making Mid-Level Managers OBSESSED With Promoting You — While Making The Company A Lot More Money ($)
    May 4 2026

    If you’ve ever been told — directly or indirectly — to dream smaller, this episode will close that gap.

    Most people think ambition gets shut down because of ego or bad leadership. It’s not.

    It’s driven by a system where leaders are rewarded for protecting their own status — not multiplying yours.

    The result? Slower growth, stalled careers… and an invisible cap on company revenue.

    In this episode, we break down why leaders quietly contain high performers, what it’s really costing companies, and what would make them obsessed with accelerating your ambition — overnight.

  • 6. (GUEST STORY) Making Bullies OBSESSED With Being Nice — OVERNIGHT — While Making The Company A Lot More Money ($)
    Apr 28 2026

    If you’ve ever worked with someone who used intimidation to get their way — this episode will close that gap.

    Most people think workplace bullying is about personality. It’s not.

    It’s driven by a system where confidence is mistaken for capability - and to some it feels safe to have those people run the show.

    The result? Fear, silence… and decisions made by the least qualified person in the room.

    In this episode, we break down why bullies rise at work, what they’re actually compensating for, and what would make that behavior disappear — overnight — while creating an actually MORE high-performing work environment, improved mental health, and a lot more money for the company.
