Upcoming Built Not Wished Podcast Episodes

Our first episode will be released on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, and is titled "Reality Still Wins." In this episode, we will explore the world we live in, the consequences of unrealistic thinking, and how lean thinking can be applied to life. Following this, we will release our second episode, "Real Goals, Real Progress: Why Reality Beats Motivation Every Time." This episode will delve into the myths we've been told about goals, the importance of understanding the current state, and much more.

We also have an episode featuring interviews with a vice president of operations, focusing not on executive-level topics, but on the journey before the titles, highlighting the steps and hard work involved. Additionally, there will be an episode with a retiring school teacher who began his career intending to coach football, but soon discovered his passion for teaching and connecting with students, sustaining this for thirty years. You'll also meet someone who started as a welder with a company and, almost two decades later, became the plant manager, detailing his step-by-step progression. We will discuss with a manager his perspective on being a "servant leader." All this and more is coming in the months ahead.
