Joel is someone I look up to and is a huge inspiration to me and to many. He has climbed the corporate ladder, ticked off the successes, the money, the lifestyle and realised he wasn't being fulfilled. His current life choices were not aligned with his core values and he needed to make a change. Since then, he has founded 2 businesses and is currently a high performance mentor for men wanting to strive to reach their potential. Full of knowledge and wisdom, this episode has teaching points from start to finish.

David is best known for starring on the netflix show 'too hot to handle' which was a huge success and catapulted his social media presence. In this episode we talk about David changing his perception from a reality tv star, to a professional within the realms of health and fitness. He has a business called Endeavour Life where he provides an online coaching service, something he wants to be know for rather than just another tv person. Plenty of nuggets of knowledge about making the life you want to live here, a very no bullshit approach and something a lot of people can learn from.

Calum is an elite sports nutritionist. He has a vast range of clients from general weight loss to nutrition for elite athletes. Not only does he educate and inspire individuals through food, he taps into the mental aspect of nutrition in order for individuals to create new healthier and sustainable habits. Nutrition always came easy for me as I really did learn the foundations early on in my career, something I almost take for granted as a lot of people do struggle with standard principles e.g. Energy Balance. 

I promise you, there are LOTS of nuggets of knowledge and wisdom in this episode; Something for everyone.

Mike is an incredibly talented individual when it comes to Crossfit and coaching. I prefer to call him the wizard of crossfit to be honest. In this episode, we cover all things crossfit, online coaching and mental health. Mike has experienced his fair share of hardships over the last few years, from loneliness as a CEO, to losing his best friend to a motorbike accident. Mike went through a stage of bottling up his emotions,  hiding away from truths until it the time came where he needed his release. within the space of a few short weeks, he'd written over 90 pages and Ten's of thousands of words, essentially addressing his issues. This for me is incredibly powerful and something I'm incredibly proud of him for doing. Lot's to learn in this one!

Dan is someone who has been hungry to succeed since day dot. He applies himself 100% to every single task put in front of him. Whether that's aiming to become a professional footballer, or building a reputation as an incredibly successful salesman, he get's his head down and makes it happen. In this episode, we delve deeper into what makes Dan tick, how he came back from a huge set back as a young adolescent being told his football career was over, to being part of the HUGE growth of JustEat in it's early stages of business. 

Recently, Dan has Co founded an incredibly exciting business within fitness that allows class instructors and personal trainers to grow their online. businesses in an efficient, scalable and valuable manner. I see nothing but big things coming from this man, this is just the beginning.

In Episode number 8, I discuss common societal stigmas with Mat Carter. Mat has a pretty open view when it comes to this subject and the discussion we had really emphasised how as a society, we need to be better. Societal Stigmas can also be a generational problem, therefore takes a long time for these to change. I think we're getting better, but there's still work to be done. We also discuss Mat's idea of fatherhood and all the fun and games he has coming to him.

In this episode, Lawrence and I discuss a very important subject indeed of what it means to be a man. Are the stigmas that surround being man necessarily true today and how has it changed? are there times where male stigma is needed and not needed? Mindset is also a focus in this episode, where we discuss surrendering to negatives and realising we can grow from these situations. Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and Lawrence is an absolute gent.

Mr PMA Faisal Abdalla has one serious mindset. In this episode, we uncover the reasons for why Faisal thinks the way he does, the power of the mind and what you can achieve when you really focus and have that 'I can do anything' mentality. We also discuss Ramadan, as it's currently what they're going through in the Arabic community and how Faisal applies himself during this time; to his work, to his training and to life in general. I am also a huge believer of mind over matter and that if you truly want something, you can make it happen no matter what the circumstance.

In this episode, we sit down with 2x winter olympian Aimee Fuller. We talk about the mental fortitude it takes to operate at the top level in your sport, the sacrifices it takes to get there, and lessons learnt along the way. 

Aimee has now retired from the competitive world of snowboarding and has since ran a few marathons, one of which being in North Korea, a subject we touch on and understand a little more about.

In this episode, Courtney Pruce and I discuss what it's like to be a woman navigating the fitness industry. The toxicity of social media with phrases like 'ultimate calorie burning' and '15 minute abs' being thrown about left right and centre, who knows what to believe nowadays. Over the last few years, I certainly have seen a large shift in women wanting to resistance train more and I certainly hope this continues. There are benefits well beyond just looking good and being educated on this field is probably the missing piece of the puzzle for most people.
