Steven Puri walked away from Hollywood blockbusters and studio power to chase a different story: what really drives human focus. After decades leading film sets and startups, he’s now on a mission to help remote teams cut through distraction and find flow.

In this episode, Steven shares what Die Hard taught him about bad leadership, why most “remote work problems” are really hiring problems, and how trillion-dollar companies are fighting to steal your attention.

We dive into the science of flow states, the tools he’s built to protect focus, and what leaders can do to create the conditions for their people to do the best work of their lives.
