Rethink This is where I talk about the stuff that seems normal… until you really think about it. From work and adulthood to technology, games, habits and everyday life, I take ordinary things and ask the questions we usually don’t bother asking. Sometimes it turns into a useful lesson. Sometimes a rant. Sometimes a completely unnecessary rabbit hole. New episodes weekly.

    Is Respect a One-Way Street? | Rethink This

    Have you ever noticed how accommodating others can sometimes feel like a one-way street?A hypothetical dinner with a vegetarian friend got me thinking about double standards. Why do we sometimes expect other people to accommodate our preferences without considering the effort going the other way?From food and religious beliefs to fitness coaches and parenting, this conversation takes a few unexpected turns.And no, I'm not saying vegetarians should eat steak! I'm asking whether consideration should go both ways.What do you think? Is this a real double standard, or am I missing something?Chapters00:00 A dinner invitation02:17 Let's reverse the roles03:30 When accommodation feels one-sided05:11 The pork chop God06:04 Religious food restrictions07:14 Coaches and double standards08:18 Parenting and leading by example09:54 One more thing…Rethink This — a new conversation every week.#RethinkThis #DoubleStandards #Respect

    Nobody Ever Said "I Wish I Scrolled More"

    Nobody ever looks back and thinks, "I wish I'd spent more time scrolling TikTok."Yet here we are — always on our phones, always connected, and somehow harder to reach.In this episode of The Random Guy Podcast, I talk about screen time, people who never reply, and what happened when I checked my own phone usage.No productivity guru speech. Just something I've been thinking about.How much screen time are you getting lately?#TheRandomGuyPodcast #ScreenTime #DigitalHabits

    Who Decided What Success Looks Like?

    What makes someone successful? The money they earn, the car they drive, their job title, or something completely different?After returning from South Korea and thinking about a conversation at work, I started questioning how we judge success — especially when it comes to ordinary people.From Formula 1 drivers and expensive cars to family, careers, karate and personal achievements, maybe success isn't always what it looks like.Just a random guy questioning something we all think we understand.#Success #LifeQuestions #TheRandomGuyPodcast

    Destiny 2 Is BACK! Bungie Is Bringing Back Vaulted Content

    Bungie says it’s not done with Destiny — and work is starting to bring back vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations and raids.As someone with more than 2,000 hours in Destiny 2 — and somehow I still don’t consider myself a hardcore player — I definitely have some thoughts.I talk about the content I’d love to see return, Forsaken, Red War, Witch Queen, the Destiny grind, Bungie rebuilding player trust, and what I’d like to see from the future of Destiny.But first, two very important questions:How can someone say they don’t like cheese? What happens with PIZZA?!And why are people holding clip-on wireless microphones in their hands like they’re Freddie Mercury? IT HAS A CLIP.Yes. This is The Random Guy Podcast.What’s the ONE piece of vaulted Destiny content you want back first?#Destiny2 #Bungie #Destiny

    Why Adults Hate Being Beginners

    Kids are allowed to suck at things. Adults? Somehow we decide that looking incompetent is embarrassing. In this episode I talk about why getting older can make us afraid to become beginners again — from CrossFit and learning Mandarin to snowboarding, career changes, podcasting, and even a childhood dream of learning to fly. Maybe getting older isn't about knowing everything. Maybe it's about being less embarrassed by what you haven't learned yet. And sometimes it's perfectly fine to say: I suck at this. #TheRandomGuyPodcast #Beginners #PersonalGrowth

    Why Do We Own So Much Stuff?

    Why do we own so much stuff we barely use? Shirts, shoes, plates, coffee mugs (in a house where nobody drinks coffee), and yes… apparently water bottles annoy me too. 😂 This episode starts with Formula 1, takes a detour into women’s sports, and eventually lands where I meant to go: why we keep buying and keeping things — and whether we’re sometimes trying to fill something that isn’t physical. Maybe the goal isn’t to fill every space with more stuff. Maybe it’s experiences, relationships and knowledge. The Random Guy Podcast — new episode every week. #podcast #minimalism #life
