We Weren’t Always Unbilled & Unfiltered podcast.

Believe it or not, Unbilled & Unfiltered wasn’t always Unbilled & Unfiltered.

Before the microphones were switched on, before the guests started rolling in, and before U&U became what it is today, we had a different name:

Lessons of a Leader.

At the time, we thought we’d nailed it. We had the concept. We had the vision. We had the branding. We even went as far as ordering a massive neon Lessons of a Leader sign for the studio.

There was just one small problem... We weren’t 100% sold on the name. And, as it turned out, neither was our CEO.

We could have ignored that little voice telling us something wasn’t quite right. After all, the branding was done and the neon sign had already arrived.

But if we were going to build something we genuinely believed in, we wanted to get it right ,not nearly right.

So, back to the drawing board we went. We wanted a name that felt less corporate. Less polished. Less like another business podcast telling you the five secrets to becoming a great leader. We wanted something that reflected the conversations we actually wanted to have: open, honest, funny, occasionally uncomfortable and completely unfiltered.

And then it clicked. Unbilled & Unfiltered was born.

A name with a little nod to the legal world we come from, but broad enough to tell stories from people, businesses and industries all over the world.

And that expensive neon sign?

It now sits proudly in the Unbilled & Unfiltered podcast archive. Not hidden away. Not forgotten. Just a slightly oversized, glowing reminder of where we started and proof that sometimes the ideas that don't quite make it are part of the story too.

Lessons of a Leader got us started.

Unbilled & Unfiltered podcast is where the real story begins.
