Just Some BS
Welcome to Just Some BS—the podcast for high-potential humans trying to figure it out without pretending they’ve got it all together.
Hosted by Brandon, this is where personal growth meets real talk, career chaos meets clarity, and leadership lessons are served with a side of sarcasm.
Each episode is part journal, part pep talk, part “did they just say that?”
Expect stories from the trenches of work and life, honest reflections, and the kind of insights you’d only get from someone who’s been through the BS and decided to podcast about it.
If you're into ambition, awkwardness, and a little bit of absurdity—you’re home.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Stay weird.
Just Some BS
10 Overrated Things in Life We All Pretend to Love
Let’s be honest: there are things in life we all pretend to love — because everyone else says we’re supposed to.
Networking events. Brunch. Group chats. Hustle culture. Holiday hype.
But do we actually enjoy any of that?
In this solo episode of the Just Some BS Podcast, Brandon breaks down the Top 10 Most Overrated Things in Life — the stuff we hype up publicly but privately dread.
It’s not about being negative.
It’s about calling out the social norms, expectations, and traditions we continue to participate in, even though half of us secretly dislike them.
If you’ve ever smiled through a networking breakfast, forced enthusiasm on New Year’s Eve, or pretended brunch is worth $30, this episode will hit home.
