Drawing from business psychology, international relations, and leadership work with global organisations, this podcast is about cutting through the noise and giving you the tools to lead with confidence.
Because leadership isn’t about having the right answers—it’s about asking the right questions.

Mastering Time – The Illusion of Control and the Reality of Focus
Time—it's the one resource we all share, yet how we experience it varies wildly. In this episode of In Hindsight, Bram explores the history of time as a human construct, from the Sumerians' sexagesimal system to the Egyptians' solar calendars, before diving into the psychology of time perception and how our brains stretch and compress time based on focus, emotions, and stress.
You’ll learn why time seems to slow down when life is novel and speed up when we’re in a state of flow, as well as practical strategies to take control of your time—from conducting a personal time audit to eliminating distractions and structuring deep work.
Bram also shares insights from counterterrorism training, where the mantra “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” is a game-changer for staying in control under pressure. Whether you’re a leader looking to maximize your productivity or someone constantly feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Why time feels different in various situations
✅ How your brain’s perception of time influences productivity
✅ The importance of deep work and eliminating distractions
