Is Anything Real?

Is Anything Real?

Is Anything Real? is a podcast about questioning the things we've collectively decided are true. Each week, executive coach and author Adam W. Barney sits down with founders, executives, authors, creators and other interesting humans to get underneath the assumptions, conventional wisdom and occasionally ridiculous rules we use to make sense of work, leadership, success and our lives. The conversations are prepared but unscripted. No rehearsed talking points. No pretending there's a neat answer when there isn't one. Just curiosity, honest disagreement, lived experience and the occasional detour that turns out to be more interesting than the question Adam planned to ask. Because sometimes the most useful question is the simplest one: Is any of this actually real? New episodes every Wednesday.
