  Episode #69

  #69 - Dom Hones - Happier Than I've Ever Been

  Sep 2, 202626 min

  In this episode, I welcome back Dom Hones - three years after we first worked together. Community engagement manager, married ten years this December, two kids (eight and five), life full and busy. Dom wasn’t having a meltdown when he first reached out but wasn't operating anywhere near 100%. He’d just turned 40, not 100% - tired all the time, chalked up to parenting young kids. Then a work health day flagged it properly: his metabolic age was 50. That was the nudge. Not a rock-bottom, just enough of a wake-up call to try something other than another audiobook or fad diet. Three years on, the numbers hold up: metabolic age down to 42. Eight kilos lost - and kept off. Over a thousand consecutive days of journaling. But the real proof came in year one, when life got hard - properly hard. Through it, the foundations didn't fall over the way every previous attempt had. What changed wasn't willpower. It was having a framework simple enough to flex with real life instead of demanding perfection from it. His advice to anyone on the fence: it's an investment, but it's in yourself, and you will not regret it.

  Episode #68

  #68 - Tom Yoxall - Best Money I've Ever Spent

  Aug 26, 202635 min

  In this episode, I welcome back Tom Yoxall for his third conversation with me. Two years ago Tom got in touch close to what he now calls, honestly, the edge of being an alcoholic. Drinking daily, carrying 22 stone, blood pressure through the roof and medicated, not showing up as the man he wanted to be for his partner Kerry or his kids. Since then: sober. Down to 15 stone 7. A business owner now, having gone self-employed. And - his words - it's saved his relationship and his relationship with his kids. We talk about what's actually changed day to day: finding an outlet that's just his (the gym, then Jiu Jitsu), learning to tackle stress head-on rather than numb it, and using the group as what he calls "an ace in my back pocket" whenever life throws something at him. His advice for anyone on the fence: have the call. No pressure, no hard sell - just find out if it's the right fit.

  Episode #67

  #67 - Chris Handley - The Busy Argument Doesn't Stack Up

  Jul 22, 202619 min

  In this episode, I sit down with Chris Handley. IT director, 44, wife and three daughters in Manchester - and in the middle of a role change, with travel all over the place and plenty going on at home. Here's what makes Chris different: he'd done coaching before. Got great results. But it was all or nothing - 5am gym, rigid routine - and the moment life stopped cooperating, it collapsed. Then he'd beat himself up for not hitting everything, and slowly slip back into the old habits. This time he wasn't broken. Still performing at work, still present at home. Just a niggle, deep down, saying: you could be doing better than this. Sound familiar? So we built something different - not a routine, a toolbox. Travel days, work days, weekends all look different, and that's the point. A golf trip with the lads? Have the beers, run every morning to offset it. Own the choice instead of throwing the whole thing in the bin. A couple of months in, the biggest shifts have surprised him: the gratitude and journaling work, the mindset change, and ideas nicked from the other lads in the group. Not perfection - progress that survives contact with real life. Same full-on life. A system that flexes with it. Different Chris.

  Episode #66

  #66 - Brandon O'Neil - It Was Always Available

  Jul 8, 202631 min

  In this episode, I sit down with Brandon O'Neil. American in London, late forties, partner at a City law firm, married with two teenage kids. Eighteen years at one firm, then a big move to another - a lot of change on top of an already full life. Nothing dramatic went wrong. That's the point. Just a slow, almost unnoticeable decline - work and family taking up every hour, nothing left for himself. Steady weight gain, low energy, years of it. By the time we first spoke, his words were: "I just felt exhausted. I looked like I'd been run over by a truck." Sound familiar? We got to work - and what surprised him most wasn't how hard it was. It was how available it had been all along. The right combination of simple things done consistently: tracking his food, the gym, 10,000 steps, the mindset work. A toolkit to come back to when life knocks him off for a day or two - instead of an off day becoming an off month. A few months on he's lighter, sharper and back in control - and his takeaway for any man waiting for a quieter month is blunt: this is the right time. If you think you can do it in the future, that really means you need to do it now. Same job. Same full-tilt life. Different Brandon.

  Episode #65

  #65 - Dan Garrity - Hit And Punched From Every Side

  Jul 2, 202626 min

  In this episode, I sit down with Dan Garrity. Self-employed engineering consultant, dad of two - a three-year-old and a five-month-old - a master's on the side, a house extension on the go. "Basically everything," as he says. Dan wasn't at his lowest. He'd been there years ago, done the therapy, come through it. But he could feel himself slipping into a permanent state of flux - no grip on work, no grip on home, getting hit and punched from every side. The difference this time: he caught it early. He knew that if he didn't act, six months down the line he'd be a shitshow - so he reached out before the wheels came off. Sound familiar? We got to work on the whole package - the mindset stuff first (values, the hero and shadow work), then the foundations he'd tried before but never stuck: morning movement, cold showers, journaling, the food. One step at a time until it held. A few months on, he's 10kg lighter and - more importantly to him - on the front foot. Same heatwave, same broken sleep, same two tired kids. Different Dan: the one who grabs ten minutes with a kettlebell and starts the day level, instead of carrying the funk into work and home. Same life. Better grip. Different Dan.
