Off Track: Why Nobody Says What They Really Think Anymore

This bonus episode of Luca's Insight Track goes Off Track as I dive into something that’s been gnawing at me for weeks: why does everyone say they’re “busy” or “surviving”… yet no one actually says how they are?

 

This reflection turned into three big insights about honesty, opinion, and the widening gap between what we think and what we say.

 

1️⃣ The gap between what we think and what we say is exploding

 

Most people live in the shadows, scrolling, judging, observing, never expressing.In a world obsessed with being “PC,” where everyone tiptoes to avoid offending anyone, honesty has become rare. But 2025 demands something different: a real voice, not a polite one. Silence is no longer neutral, it’s erasing our individuality into a sea of sameness.

 

2️⃣ Having an opinion isn’t enough, you need to voice it

 

We live in a time when AI is flattening everything. If you don’t speak up, you disappear.After nearly 70 episodes, I’ve seen it over and over: 70% of guests stay at 35,000 feet. Safe. Balanced. Polished. Forgettable. People don’t get inspired by “on the one hand, on the other hand.” They get inspired by people who pick a side. Love or hate, at least it’s real. At least it’s human. Your voice is the only thing that separates you from the algorithm.

 

3️⃣ We’re lying to each other every day, starting with “How are you?”

 

“Busy.” “Surviving.” “All good.”We’ve replaced honesty with convenience. Less than 10% of people answer truthfully, and when we do speak, we give headlines, not stories. If we want deeper relationships, deeper conversations, deeper lives…we need to tell the truth — to ourselves and to each other.

 

Honest, reflective and straight from the heart. This is me off my chest and off the cuff.
