People are fascinating — how we think, how we talk, the choices we make, and I’m here for it.
I'm Richard Okongwu, and every week I talk about trust, money, and our relationships with one another. You know, the little and significant events that shape our lives.
This podcast is part thought experiment, part personal journal — sometimes messy, other times obvious, but always honest.
I'm no expert; just a guy trying to understand the world one idea at a time, and I ask questions along the way.
I hope to help you see the things you already knew — differently.

In this episode, we dive into the blurry line between authenticity and performance. From influencers faking beach cleanups to the oddly consistent formula of online apology videos (cue the hoodie and soft voice), we ask: Is expressing ourselves still genuine, or has it all become a script?
Why does confidence feel like something we have to rehearse? Why do even vulnerability and sadness have a “look”? And if being yourself requires effort, is it even real?
Let’s unpack the ways we perform emotions—for others and maybe even for ourselves. Stay with me.
