A new kind of exhaustion is spreading — and it has nothing to do with working too hard. It starts the moment you try to share what you've built with the world. The content. The metrics. The optimization. The slow transformation into something the algorithm rewards. The Algorithm Burnout podcast captures what happens when real people start asking the questions everyone else is only thinking. 18 episodes. No filter. Now streaming.
The podcast is the live, ongoing exploration of that pattern — what happens when the metrics you chase start replacing the instincts you used to trust, and the person you perform starts replacing the person you actually are.
Every episode begins with a real question from the audience — people who've felt something shift and can't quite name it yet. Not the algorithm in our feeds. The one we've been running inside ourselves. If that resonates — you're not the first.
A first look at the conversations and the questions behind Algorithm Burnout.

James John Buzzacco spent his career on the production side of identity — shaping how people and companies were seen, felt, and remembered. Nobody tells you this about spending your career helping others project optimized versions of themselves: you start doing it to yourself without realizing it. The same metrics he used to measure campaign success became the metrics he used to measure his own worth. The performance he helped clients sustain became his own.
The podcast is the live extension of that work — real questions, real time, no rehearsal.
