It's All About Lee
by It’s All About Lee
A bold, punchy diary of thoughts I probably should’ve kept to myself — but didn’t.Hosted by Lee Gray, All About Lee is a solo podcast that blends cultural commentary, personal confessions, and sharp observations you didn’t ask for but will probably relate to. From navigating career chaos and creative burnout to side-eyes at society’s latest absurdities, this is where hot takes meet honest reflection.Think of it as voice notes from your most self-aware (and slightly shady) friend — the one who knows when to spill, when to spiral, and when to log off.New episodes drop weekly-ish, sometimes serious, often funny, always very… Lee. leegray04.substack.com

Why is there such an excitement about people being out of work?
I’m talking about the Oracle layoffs—30,000 people deleted from a payroll at 6:00 AM by a corporate noun with no face. But this isn’t just another post about “tough decisions” and “market headwinds.” It’s about the silence that follows when a decade of loyalty is answered with a DocuSign link at...

I'm back because I cannot afford therapy right now.
I’m talking about Cleared, my second venture: what it is, why I built it, and why I’m not going to dress it up in founder mythology and sell you a story about destiny. I started this company because I’ve seen first-hand what happens when the financial system can’t read you — when you’re earning,...

Nostalgia Is Holding Us Hostage
In this episode, I ask the important questions: do we really need another Batman? Hasn’t Cinderella had enough traumatic shoe fittings? And who exactly demanded a Mean Girls movie of the musical of the movie? We’re talking about the endless parade of remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, “gritty”...

Wear Your F*cking Clothes
In this episode, I’m holding space for one thing and one thing only: wearing your own damn clothes. Yep, that dress you wore to brunch last month? Wear it again. Those jeans that have seen every bottomless mimosa in the city? Wear them again. Somehow we’ve ended up in a world where repeating an...

What If Your Job’s Already Gone and You Just Don’t Know It Yet?
This week, I’m thinking about my first job at River Island on Oxford Street — the job that made it possible for me to intern at Vogue for free, survive London, and start building the career I have now. But if I were 16 today… would that job even exist? I was in Zara the other day, scanning my own...

Is It a Privilege to Stay Apolitical?
Every time an artist speaks out — whether it’s about Gaza, queer rights, racism, or anything that challenges the status quo — the reaction is the same: “Just sing.” “Keep politics out of it.” “Stop ruining the vibes.” But hasn’t art always been political? From Nina Simone and Muhammad Ali to...

When Do We Get Our Off-With-Their-Head Moment?
This week, I gave in. I tried to avoid it, I really did — but the Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos wedding content got me. And while watching billionaires kiss on a yacht, I found myself thinking about Marie Antoinette, Julius Caesar, and what happens every single time extreme wealth becomes too...
-
Are We Just Distracting Ourselves to Death?
Between The Gilded Age returning on HBO and Trump literally bombing Iran, I’m feeling the full-body whiplash of trying to live a normal life while everything around us quietly (and sometimes loudly) falls apart. From Gaza to AI, from pop culture distractions to the dead silence of so-called...

Why The Girls Are Going It Alone
In this episode, Lee reflects on the power and resilience of the women in his life - the ones who’ve done the work, set the boundaries, and chosen themselves. From solo home ownership to freezing eggs and attending weddings alone, we explore what it means when women are opting out of traditional...

What Happens to Talented People Who Suck at Social Media?
There are wildly talented people out here getting zero attention — not because they’re bad at what they do, but because they’re bad at social media. Their work? Flawless. Their grid? Chaos. Meanwhile, someone with a ring light, a Canva template, and one good soundbite is booked solid. In this...

Pride Wasn’t Cancelled — The Marketing Budget Was
Pride Month 2025 is here — but where did all the rainbows go? One minute brands were voguing for visibility, now they’re “keeping it internal.” In this episode, Lee gets into the quiet corporate retreat from queerness, why all that performative progress was never real, and what it means when...

Confessions of a Former Gym-Phobe
This week, Lee gets real about gym anxiety, forged PE notes, and how it only took eight years, three trainers, and six different gyms to finally feel (kind of) okay lifting heavy things in public. From dodging school sports like the plague to deadlifting like a delicate princess, this episode is...
-
Where Did the Middle Go?
In this episode, I’m unpacking the quiet death of the in-between — that space where filmmakers, designers, and creatives used to build something sustainable, not necessarily scalable. You didn’t have to be a unicorn, you just had to be good. Remember that? But now?You’re either viral or…
