What Podcasting Keeps Teaching Me

When I started Produced By, I expected to learn about business. Instead, podcasting has taught me far more about people. After more than 170 conversations with founders, creators and entrepreneurs, I've noticed certain patterns that keep appearing. Not because everyone is the same, but because many of our struggles are surprisingly similar. In this episode, I reflect on what podcasting has quietly taught me about curiosity, success, relationships, comparison and why the people we admire rarely have everything figured out. If you've ever wondered what years of conversations with inspiring people can teach you beyond business, I hope this episode gives you a different perspective. 00:00 Introduction 01:53 I expected to learn about business 04:09 Successful people don't have everything figured out 07:18 Success means different things to different people 09:26 Why relationships matter more than numbers 12:08 The people I admire are the most curious 14:38 Every successful person has an invisible story 16:40 The greatest lesson podcasting has given me 18:47 One final question Subscribe to Unproduced: https://unproduced.substack.com Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unproducednotes Connect with Tomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasloucky Support on Patreon: https://patreon.com/tomasloucky

Success Is More Personal Than We Think

We often compare ourselves to other people without first asking a simple question. Are we even trying to build the same life? In this episode, I reflect on why success is far more personal than we often realise, what podcasting has taught me about different definitions of success, and why comparing yourself to someone else's scoreboard can quietly lead you away from what actually matters. If you've ever questioned whether you're falling behind, felt influenced by social media, or wondered what success genuinely looks like for you, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause and define it on your own terms. 00:00 Welcome Back 00:42 Why Success Is More Personal Than We Think 02:28 Have You Defined Success? 04:35 Comparing Different Scoreboards 06:55 What Podcasting Has Taught Me 09:15 The Social Media Illusion 11:50 Would You Still Want It? 14:15 Success Changes Over Time 16:40 What Are You Optimising For? 18:25 Success Is Something You Define 19:40 Final Thoughts Subscribe to Unproduced: https://unproduced.substack.com Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033Ddo8ibDlLYoaP7FFLIW Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unproducednotes Connect with Tomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasloucky Support on Patreon: https://patreon.com/tomasloucky

Why I'm Thinking Longer Term

We live in a world that rewards speed. Faster growth. Faster results. Faster success. But most meaningful things don't work that way. In this episode, I reflect on why I've been thinking longer term, how podcasting, health, LinkedIn and jiu-jitsu have changed my perspective, and why the most valuable progress is often invisible while it's happening. If you've ever felt impatient, compared yourself to others or questioned whether you're making enough progress, I hope this conversation reminds you that the things worth building rarely happen overnight. 00:00 Welcome Back 00:55 Why I'm Thinking Longer Term 03:10 Why We Expect Everything Instantly 06:10 Have We Forgotten How Long Good Things Take? 09:15 We Measure Distance Instead of Progress 12:05 Invisible Progress 15:35 Trust the Process 18:50 What Podcasting Has Taught Me 22:10 The Power of Compounding 25:00 What Health Taught Me 27:45 Thinking in Years, Not Weeks 29:20 Final Thoughts Subscribe to Unproduced: https://unproduced.substack.com Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033Ddo8ibDlLYoaP7FFLIW Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unproducednotes Connect with Tomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasloucky Support on Patreon: https://patreon.com/tomasloucky

The Problem With Chasing More

Many of us spend our lives chasing more. More success. More followers. More money. More milestones. But what if the problem isn't ambition? What if the problem is that "more" is a moving target? In this episode, I reflect on why so many of the things we once dreamed about quickly become normal, why achievement often creates new expectations instead of lasting satisfaction, and what podcasting, health, and looking back at my younger self have taught me about appreciating the journey. If you've ever felt like the finish line keeps moving, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, reflect on how far you've already come, and think more intentionally about what you're really chasing. 00:00 Welcome Back 00:45 The Problem With Chasing More 02:35 Why More Keeps Moving 05:05 LinkedIn and the Moving Target 07:45 What Would Younger Me Think? 10:25 The Goals I Used to Want 12:45 The Myth of Arrival 15:00 Enjoying the Journey 17:10 Ambition vs Intention 18:55 What Am I Delaying? 20:10 The Health Reality Check 21:45 What Am I Actually Chasing? 23:00 Final Thoughts Subscribe to Unproduced: https://unproduced.substack.com Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033Ddo8ibDlLYoaP7FFLIW Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unproducednotes Connect with Tomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasloucky Support on Patreon: https://patreon.com/tomasloucky

Why Comparison Makes Us Rush

One of the most common pieces of advice we hear is: don't compare yourself to other people. But what if comparison isn't dangerous because it hurts our confidence? What if it's dangerous because it changes our pace? In this episode, I reflect on why comparison often creates urgency rather than jealousy, how social media can make us feel behind, what podcasting has taught me about long-term thinking, and why defining success on your own terms matters more than chasing someone else's timeline. If you're building a business, a personal brand, a creative project, or simply trying to make progress without rushing your own journey, I hope you'll find something useful here. 00:00 Welcome Back 00:45 Looking Back at Episode One 01:35 Comparison Isn't the Problem 03:20 Why Comparison Makes Us Rush 05:35 Social Media and Feeling Behind 08:15 The Never-Ending Chase 10:45 The Cost of Impatience 13:15 What Podcasting Has Taught Me 15:35 Everyone Is Optimising for Something Different 18:00 What Helps Me Stay Grounded 20:25 Comparison vs Inspiration 21:15 Final Thoughts Subscribe to Unproduced: https://unproduced.substack.com Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033Ddo8ibDlLYoaP7FFLIW Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@unproducednotes Connect with Tomas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomasloucky Support on Patreon: https://patreon.com/tomasloucky

Building Something Meaningful Without Losing Yourself

Welcome to the first episode of Unproduced, a solo podcast about building, training, creating, and trying to live a meaningful life without losing yourself in the process. In this episode, I share why I started the podcast, reflect on a recent ankle injury, and explore some of the ideas that have been on my mind lately. From health and longevity to ambition, comparison, success, and podcasting, this is an honest conversation about what it means to keep growing while staying grounded. If you're building something of your own and trying to enjoy the journey rather than constantly chasing the next milestone, I hope you'll find something useful here.
