Points of Failure
Points of Failure is a podcast about what actually goes wrong, and the part people don't want to look at.
Most conversations about failure happen after it's been cleaned up, framed, and turned into a lesson. This one starts at the breakdown and works backward. Through guest interviews and solo episodes, we examine the patterns behind failure in work, relationships, identity, and decision-making, with a bias toward what people are avoiding rather than what they're processing.
If you're noticing a pattern you can't explain away anymore, you're probably in the right place.

Points of Failure
S4E27 - Social Atrophy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode, I explore the idea of social atrophy.
Not as a flaw in who we are, but as something that develops when we spend less and less time engaging with the people around us.
I talk about how modern life makes it easy to withdraw, why awkwardness and uncertainty are normal parts of interaction, and how avoiding those moments can slowly make connection feel harder than it actually is.
If you’ve ever felt out of practice socially, noticed yourself pulling back from people, or wondered why connection sometimes feels more difficult than it used to, this episode is for you.
We hope you enjoy this one.
