Unsettled with Neil Wattier Episode 1: Why Unsettled Exists

You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard, served, achieved, and on paper, you’ve “arrived.”

So why doesn’t it feel like enough?

Welcome to the very first episode of Unsettled with Neil Wattier.

This podcast is born from a simple but powerful realization: being “unsettled” doesn’t mean you’re broken. It doesn’t mean you’re unstable. It means you’re aware you want more, but not at the cost of your peace.

Neil shares the personal story behind the show, including his transition after 27 years in the Air Force and the ongoing tension between ambition and presence. Through this lens, he defines what it means to live in the middle, between the man you were and the man you’re still becoming. In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The origin of the Unsettled podcast and its purpose

• Why high performers often feel restless, even after success

• What it really means to be “unsettled” and why that’s not a bad thing

• Who this show is for: veterans, leaders, creators, and anyone quietly wrestling with identity, burnout, or purpose What to expect from the podcast going forward:

• Weekly guest interviews with people who’ve rebuilt, recalibrated, and redefined enough

• Short solo reflections on resilience, identity, presence, and grounded ambition

• Zero fluff. Zero hype. No alpha bullshit. Just honest, tactical reflection.

Challenge of the week: “What’s something you’ve been chasing that hasn’t actually given you peace?”

Because ambition isn’t the enemy of peace. And peace doesn’t mean standing still.

Stay grounded.

Stay unsettled.
