Welcome to Career Uninterrupted—a podcast that dives into the real, raw, and often messy world of modern work.
We explore what it means to transition, transform, and thrive in a world where burnout, career breaks, layoffs, or plain old discontent can disrupt the traditional path to “success.”
I’m your host, Lochan Narayanan— Founder of Spinach, Career transitions coach, and co-author of Career Heist. I work with professionals and organizations to navigate growth, reinvention, and everything in between.
Thanks for tuning in. Let’s rethink what a thriving career can look like—together.
What does it really mean to be a man at work today?
In this episode of Career Uninterrupted, host Lochan Narayanan sits down with Shiv Kumar to have an honest conversation about the silent pressures men face in the workplace—balancing ambition, responsibility, and emotional wellbeing.
From the unspoken expectation of being the “provider” to the cultural weight of always appearing strong and sorted, they explore:
-Why men’s stress and mental health often go unnoticed
-How vulnerability is still seen as risky for male leaders
-What “success” means for men today—and how it’s shifting
-The role of male safe spaces like Men’s Circle in rewriting these narratives
This episode is a call to pause and reflect: can we create workplaces where men, too, have the space to be authentic, vulnerable, and well?

“India should stop looking upto the west”
Is success really about working harder—or working smarter?
In this episode of Career Uninterrupted, host Lochan is joined by Chris Croft —a Cambridge-educated former senior manager turned globally acclaimed trainer, author, and keynote speaker. With over 87,000 people trained in-person and 18 million online learners, Chris is the UK’s leading expert on time management, project management, leadership, negotiation, productivity, and happiness.
Together, they dismantle the hustle-worship culture that equates exhaustion with achievement. What if ambition could energise you instead of draining you? What if “laziness” was actually a sign of clarity, boundaries, and focus?
Expect an honest conversation on:
- Where the “burnout = success” narrative came from
- Why ease at work is still viewed with suspicion
- The idea of “intentional laziness” and its role in building a sustainable career
- Why doing less can sometimes lead to sharper thinking and better outcomes
- How to unlearn guilt when work feels easy- What redefining success could look like for mid-career professionals
This episode is about designing a career that energises rather than depletes you—one that’s built around what matters, not just what impresses.
