Ep 27: Who Are You Beyond the Algorithm? with Yana Groves

In this episode, I welcome back Yana Groves, founder and director of Bloomtime Media. Yana is a TV Executive Producer with over 3 decades of experience across radio and television, from the BBC to global formats like MasterChef, Big Brother, The Bachelor, Below Deck Down Under, and The Mole, where her work has always centred on understanding people's internal drivers and motivations. We discuss her philosophy of “running away with the circus” and how her industry often appears glamourous yet is often chaotic and unstable, requiring resilience and awareness to navigate. At the core of Yana's work is the idea that every story, and every person, begins with a “why” and that same pattern plays out in real life. We also discuss how algorithms and the bombardment of information shape our emotions and perceptions, constantly pulling us away from ourselves.
