What Am I About

Intent

Bus Driver Dan is a public record of a working life.

It is audio first and video supported Message, Observational, reflective and humorous In nature.

It is built to exist alongside full-time work without replacing it. The show documents experience after the fact, never during it. Perspective matters more than immediacy. Clarity matters more than reach. This project values accuracy of experience over precision of detail.

This project is not: A hustle brand, A grievance platform, A whistleblower channel, A recruitment tool, A policy advocacy show, A performance persona. A growth-at-all-costs operation IE more interested in extracting value from listeners over expressing the heart. If a direction pushes the project toward any of the above, it is rejected, even if rewarded.

It is the goal that each episode delivers one complete, honest story or introduction to a person from behind the wheel, followed by grounded reflection on what that work reveals about people, patience, and responsibility. This promise is the quality bar.

The show will not provide real-time reporting, personal advice, institutional critique, even if asked.

our voice is: Grounded, Observational, Understanding, Non-performative and Willing to use silence

The voice avoids: Outrage, Sarcasm aimed at individuals, moral grandstanding, forced humor at the expense of others, excessive explanation. 

These rules do not change without breaking the project:

Recording happens off-shift only,  All stories are anonymized and composited, No real-time incidents are discussed, No identifiable passengers, coworkers, or locations. No platform dictates content decisions. Monetization never precedes trust and the value of the story, Safety overrides completeness. If a choice violates any of these, the choice is wrong.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
