LEANDER — SEEKING SEDATION THROUGH MUSIC

Some people listen to music.

Leander chases it.

The next record.
The next rush.
That one unexpected sound that hits the brain before you even know what happened.

His obsession started at 16, digging through his uncle’s record collection and discovering that records weren’t just music  they carried stories, memories, energy and identity.

Today, that obsession runs through collecting, digging and his work with Riviera Records.

For Leander, the search never really stops. Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/wleanderw

Find the record. Feel the kick. Stay sedated.

Real conversations about creative decisions. 
Steven Puri built visual effects for 14 films the Independence Day VFX team won an Academy Award. 
He sold his effects company, Centropolis, at 28. 

Then ran the studio side: VP at 20th Century Fox (Die Hard, Wolverine), EVP at DreamWorks K/O (Star Trek, Transformers). Then he left it. Built Sukha instead a focus app built on real research, for people who live with distraction instead of pretending it isn't there. 

His belief: it's not a focus problem. It's a purpose problem. 

In this episode: what a Hollywood VFX and studio career actually teaches you about building a company, why he walked away from the industry that made him, and his answer to the question every creative is quietly asking what does AI leave for us to do.

Decisive Podcast Series, Spotlight Edition. Myles named himself the reclusive perfectionist. 
We asked what that actually costs him. Donnell's records read like a diary, not tracks. 
Meditation, the mind, the universe, pressed to wax. Independent is the hardest game in this music. 
Own the label, press the records, book the rooms yourself. Nobody hands you any of it. 
What does it cost to stay in this for decades? Season 2, Episode 5: Myles Sergé and D-KNOX. 

The work never lies.
