Be A Better YOU with Gareth Boot

If you're over 45 and you keep putting the same thing off, this show is for you. Be A Better You is for men and women who know something needs to change but can't quite get started. Every episode helps you spot what you're avoiding, write it down, and take one small step today. I'm Gareth Boot. I used to avoid meeting new people until I realised every person I care about came from doing the thing I was scared of. That's what this show is. Practical, honest, and built from real experience. No fluff. Just the next step.

In this episode I talk about the importance of dats and feedback and how being busiy is not always progress. Also some imprtat information about the podcast going forward.

"Most people set a 5am alarm and turn it off three days in. This week we're talking about why rising early keeps failing and what it actually takes to make it stick."

In this weeks episode I talk about living a more authentic life, true to your own values and principles and doing less people pleasing.

Most people don't have a problem-solving problem. They have a noise problem.

They think about the problem in the shower, mention it over dinner, lie awake running through scenarios. And nothing gets solved. The problem just sits there, getting heavier.

In this episode, I walk you through a five-part framework for solving any problem, properly. Not a hack. A process. The kind that takes you from stuck to clear in under an hour, if you're willing to do the work.

You'll learn how to name the actual problem (not the symptoms), why focus isn't just helpful but non-negotiable, how to tell the difference between real constraints and imagined ones, and why most good ideas get killed before they've had a chance to breathe.

One of these moves alone will change how you think. All five together will change how you operate.

If you've got something sitting on you right now, this one's for you.

If any of this landed and you want to talk through where you're stuck, book a free Clarity Call at www.garethboot.com/free-call. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation about what's actually going on and what might help.

Most people think they need more time, more information, or better conditions before they can start.

They don't.

In this episode, I breaks down why preparation becomes a hiding place, and what creativity and resourcefulness can do that planning never will. Plus a challenge at the end you can do before the day is out.

A bit of an impromtu episde this week . Woke up with the desire to talk about the subject of doing less stuff you don't want to do.

We are living in some ver uncertain and worring times, and peoples mental health is being challabged. In thi sspidoe a share some simple ways to improve your mental health when facing things that feel out of your control.

Everyone’s talking about the manosphere.
Most people are missing the point.

After watching the Louis Theroux documentary, one thing became clear:
This isn’t about toxic masculinity.
It’s about what happens when men lose structure.

In this episode, I break down what’s really going on:
Why anger is being monetised
Why blame is replacing responsibility
Why so many men feel lost—and are listening to the wrong voices

And most importantly, what actually fixes it.

Because you don’t solve this with motivation.
You solve it with structure.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you should be further ahead than you are—this one’s for you.

In this episode I talk about doing a 1st quarter revew of 2026 and also look at taking away any excuses about not having enough time, money or resources to get where you want to be.
