This week on Just Get A Real Job, Jamie is joined by David McIntosh Jr. — host of Origin Stories (formerly The Development by David Podcast). 🎧
David launched his podcast back in 2020 from his council estate bedroom in Scotland — no contacts, no budget, just a cheap mic and a clear mission: to spotlight inspiring origin stories. Since then, he’s racked up over 1.5 million hits, interviewed huge names like Seth Godin, Rory Sutherland and Jimmy Carr, and built a brand rooted in storytelling, self-development, and social mobility.
Now, with Origin Stories, he’s stepping into the next stage of his podcasting journey — continuing his mission and pushing things even further.
In this honest conversation, Jamie and David chat about:
🎙️ The next stage of his podcasting journey and launching Origin Stories
😂 What it was really like interviewing Jimmy Carr
🌱 Social mobility and why it’s at the heart of David’s mission
😔 The lonely chapter — and how to keep going when it feels like no one cares
📈 The future of podcasting and content creation
🧠 What we can all learn from our own origin stories
⚙️ How to actually run a podcast
🔥 Drive, grit, and building something from nothing
Tune in for inspiring insights, actionable advice, and a powerful reminder that it’s possible to build something incredible from scratch.
