In the AI era, success is no longer just about learning what’s new — it’s about the insight and courage to abandon what’s outdated.

The strategies that got us promoted five years ago are the same ones holding our organisations back today. The hardest part of leadership isn’t knowing more. It’s letting go. That’s where The Unlearning Playbook begins.

A podcast built on
one sharp thesis.

01
What It Is

A ~60-minute interview podcast where senior leaders candidly deconstruct their journey through the specific lens of unlearning and relearning.

02
Who It’s For

Senior leaders and ambitious professionals navigating disruption — especially those asking whether their experience is holding them back.

03
Why Now

AI is accelerating the obsolescence of old strategies faster than ever. The leaders winning today are those who unlearn fastest — not just learn fastest.

Three phases.
One transformation.

01
Phase 01
The Old Playbook

The belief or strategy that defined the guest’s early success — and eventually became the very thing holding them back.

02
Phase 02
The Trigger

The pivotal failure, shift, or realization that forced them to question the rules they’d built their success on.

03
Phase 03
The New Playbook

The fresh principles, mindsets, and strategies they adopted — and the concrete steps they took to find success again.

Leaders who’ve done
the hard work of letting go.

Courageous Strategists

CHROs and C-Suite leaders actively dismantling outdated cultural norms to build organisations fit for the future.

Tech-Savvy Operators

Business leaders who have successfully led teams through significant digital transformations, sharing the human side of technical shifts.

Forward-Thinkers

VCs, authors, and innovators defining the future of work and challenging conventional wisdom on adaptability and growth.

The conversations
are coming.
