Built in Silence

Built in Silence is a podcast for introverts who want to grow without the noise. Hosted by Derrick Primm, an active-duty U.S. Marine, each episode shares the tools, structure, and mindset needed to build a strong identity, lead with clarity, and improve personally and professionally — all without changing who you are.

Episode 32: Why Introverted Men Don’t Get Noticed (And How to Fix It Without Changing Who You Are)

Introverted men don’t get ignored because they’re quiet. They get ignored because their body language signals tension, withdrawal, and uncertainty. This episode explains how subtle habits like rushing movements, locking the face, small posture, and overthinking make people read you as closed off or passive. It shows how slowing down, relaxing facial muscles, opening posture, and shifting attention outward change how others interpret you without forcing extroversion. The core idea is presence as a structural skill, not a personality shift.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/built-in-silence/donations

Episode 31: Why Introverts Struggle With Consistency (And How To Fix It)

Most introverted men don’t fail because they lack discipline. They fail because they drain their energy before they ever take action. In today’s episode, I break down why consistency collapses for introverts and how to rebuild it with a system that actually fits your wiring.We cover the hidden reasons you restart every month: overthinking, taking on too much, relying on motivation, and copying routines built for extroverts. Then we replace all of it with a quiet, low-noise framework that makes consistency repeatable instead of exhausting.You’ll learn how to build one primary habit, anchor it to a predictable trigger, design low-demand execution, and shift from mood-based behavior to identity-based action. I finish with a simple daily routine you can start today to stop the chaos and regain control.If you’re tired of feeling overloaded and want a consistency system that doesn’t burn you out, this episode gives you the blueprint.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/built-in-silence/donations

What happens when the path you’ve been walking suddenly feels empty? In this episode, I open up about hitting that wall in the military—where purpose faded and I was just going through the motions.
