  • Summary

  • Curiosity, human behavior, and uncomfortable questions. This podcast leans into all of it. Each week, I explore trust, deception, friendship, and the psychology of human relationships, not as an expert but as someone just trying to figure things out. I’m Richard Okongwu and this podcast is part personal journal and part thought experiment. I dive into connection, vulnerability, and the choices we make. And yeah, sometimes I say the obvious because sometimes the obvious deserves more attention. Follow on Instagram @scocpod & @richsomto. For feedback or questions, email dearscoc@gmail.com

  • The Mindset Trap: The Prison of Being Right

    The Mindset Trap: The Prison of Being Right
    Mar 21 2025

    We all say we want open conversations, but do we really allow people to change their minds? From influencers to politicians to everyday social media debates, there’s an unspoken rule: once you’ve taken a stance, you’d better stick with it—because admitting you were wrong? That’s risky.Why do we cling to old opinions, even when we know better? Is it integrity, or just fear? And where do we draw the line between accountability and growth?Maybe the real trap isn’t being wrong—it’s never letting ourselves admit when we are.

    Let’s talk about it.

  • The Fear of Letting Go

    The Fear of Letting Go
    Mar 14 2025
    Ever had the perfect comeback—only for the moment to slip away? Or worse, forgotten what you were about to say entirely? That sting of loss isn’t just about words—it’s about ideas, relationships, and the things we struggle to hold onto. Why do we cling to people, even when we’re not sure they belong in our lives? Why do we hoard thoughts, fearing we’ll never come up with something better? Is loss even real, or do we just convince ourselves it is? Maybe letting go isn’t about forgetting—it’s about trusting that what’s meant to stay will stay.

  • Nobody Is Themselves Anymore

    Nobody Is Themselves Anymore
    Mar 7 2025
    In this episode, we dive into the blurry line between authenticity and performance. From influencers faking beach cleanups to the oddly consistent formula of online apology videos (cue the hoodie and soft voice), we ask: Is expressing ourselves still genuine, or has it all become a script? Why does confidence feel like something we have to rehearse? Why do even vulnerability and sadness have a “look”? And if being yourself requires effort, is it even real? Let’s unpack the ways we perform emotions—for others and maybe even for ourselves. Stay with me.
