CamBro Conversations

Today’s conversation is with Ruari Fairbairns.

Ruari is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, podcast host and Ted-X Speaker. 

Having built a successful career as an oil broker, Ruari went on a journey to redefine his relationship with alcohol and has gone onto build and inspire a movement that empowers others and challenge society's perceptions about alcohol.

Expect to learn the potential cost alcohol can have on health, productivity, and relationships, the deep rooted societal impact of alcohol, the power forces, traditions and advertising spend which engrains it into so much of our lives, and why you don’t have to conform.

Ruari offers insights into his journey of breaking free from alcohol, emphasising the benefits on mental clarity, physical health, and personal success. Like any time I’ve discussed a conscious reframing of alcohol and elective sobriety on the podcast, this episode does not necessarily address those impacted by Alcohol Use Disorder or an addiction to the substance. Today’s conversation is primarily focused on seeing where alcohol is holding uni back from your potential and seeing what you could unlock.

Ruari shares some amazing data that just 6% of people want to give up alcohol completely, but the vast majority of the remainder surveyed do want to reduce their intake and reassess their relationship. I know this episode can help you do that.

Today’s episode is sponsored and supported by Hussle.

Hussle is the way to get access to 1000s of UK gyms, pools and spas with one simple membership. I’ve been a Hussle user since 2014 when my first graduate sales job took me down to Manchester, Leeds, Norwich and beyond. It enables me to access gyms wherever I am with work or socially as well as get access to specific facilities like saunas and spas.

Hussle is, of course, available to individuals, but what is really exciting is that companies can now partner with Hussle to give their staff members fitness access as an employee benefit.

Anyone who listens to a podcast like this one knows that making it easier to exercise and access facilities is a great way to boost employee physical, mental and financial wellbeing.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Robert Glover.

Dr Glover is a therapist, coach and author.

Being nice has long been held up as a positive trait and something we should aim for. But that is a big mistake and Nice Guy Syndrome is harming you and those around you.

In today’s episode, expect to learn where nice guy syndrome comes from, how Dr Glover himself is a recovering nice guy, the danger of the three covert contracts, how we can become integrated males, the impact on romantic relationships and business dealings of overcoming the nice guy trap.

It was a pleasure to host Dr Glover on the show and we went deep on the theory but as ever this episode is fiercely practical with actions you can take away to improve your life.

Today’s conversation is with Dale Crossar. 

Dale is a coach, podcast host, and the owner of Bulletproof Studios.

Expect to hear why Dale was known as Coach Crossar long before he was in the health and fitness industry, how night shift and sleeping in his car led him to finding his path in business and life, how to identify where your existing skills and passions could be applied into a business, why loneliness is not the curse you think it might be, and much more.

It was amazing to sit down with Dale in his own podcast studio and dive into his story and perspectives. You may already know that Dale hosts his own podcast Bulletproof Mindset and in this conversation we also reflect on some of the lessons he’s learnt after producing more than 200 episodes on his own show.

Today’s podcast is supported and sponsored by Clean Foods Meal Prep.

The removal of over 90 minutes of cooking and meal prep each week has been a big win for me, while the meals are tastier and more varied ingredients than I would manage cooking them myself.

And the meals are cooked fresh each Saturday and midweek in Glasgow before being delivered across the UK.

Today’s conversation is with Damian Browne.

Damian is an explorer, athlete and speaker. For the last 24 years Damian has been consumed by a passion and purpose to pursue his human potential. For 16 years that was as a professional rugby player, and in more recent years he has turned his attention to challenge and adventure through extreme adventure 

Expect to learn some of the incredible feats Damian has put his mind and body through, how to deal with fear and uncertainty, why before control comes awareness, how to stay focused on what you can influence, and so much more.

The challenges Damian has undertaken and completed are many including the 257km Sahara Desert ultra marathon, The Marathon des Sables, rowed solo and unsupported, 5000km across the Atlantic Ocean and has currently climbed 5 of the 7 Summits, a renowned mountaineering feat. We touch on a number of them during this conversation and the lessons we can take into our own lives.

Today’s conversation is with Oliver Burkeman.

Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.

Our relationship with time management and productivity is a complicated one and often a flawed one. The type of person who listens to a podcast like this one knows the importance of managing time and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be trying to fit in more and achieve more in the time you have. 

Expect to learn how not to fall into the efficiency trap, the importance of recognising the limitations on your time, questions you can ask yourself on what activities you should do, what your goals with time could be to feel more fulfilled, and the danger of having productivity debt. 

Oliver is my favourite author and thinker on the topic of all things productivity and time management, I know you’re going to benefit from assessing your relationship with productivity and time, as well as, of course, some practical tools you can use too.

Today’s conversation is with The Critical Drinker.

Critical Drinker reviews, analyses and commentates on various forms of entertainment, primarily movies and TV shows. His YouTube channel has grown to over 2 million subscribers in the last few years and for very good reason.

Modern cinema is in a mess. It is now a lot less about entertainment and instead is focusing on pushing social, cultural and political ideologies.

Expect to hear why Hollywood has decided to push the progressive woke message, why Rotten Tomato reviews between fans and critics are so different, just what on earth has happened to the once great Star Wars brand, the process of fan baiting, and so much more.

DEI hiring policies and culture has come under the microscope in recent weeks after the failed assassination attempt of Donald Trump, very few places have been worse impacted by DEI than cinema and I think we all long for a time when movies entertain us like they used to.

It was great to host Critical Drinker on the show and he really is carrying the torch for Scottish creators on YouTube, so please show your support for this episode and share it with a friend or family member or even your Instagram story so that someone else in your life tunes in and joins the CamBro listenership this week.

Today’s conversation is with Connor Beaton.

Connor is a men’s life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author focusing on men’s wellness and personal growth.

The modern narrative for men is confusing with conflicting messages around opening up about our struggles all while being a stoic man and having your shit together.

Expect to learn why all work starts in pain, the one rule of men, why there is a delta between society’s expectations and men’s realities, the myth of male vulnerability, successful mechanisms for real change, and the key steps Connor took to unfuck his life. 

I’ve followed Connor’s work closely for over 18 months and know he has such strong contributions to the discussion and, of course, the actions around a better future for men, their wellbeing and lives. It was a privilege to host Connor on the show and I hope you all get huge value from the insights in the next hour. If you did, please take the time to share this episode with a friend, we really do grow and make an impact one recommendation at a time.

Today’s conversation is with David Pinsof.

David is the Co-Creator of Cards Against Humanity, Researcher at UCLA Mind Labs and popular blogger on human motivation.

We are often guilty of telling ourselves a story that explains why we want particular things, particular achievements, and particular experiences. The why and stories behind these are often very flattering, and make us sound noble, but ultimately are really bullshit. We do not truly understand our motivations, and this is part of the human experience.

Expect to learn why everything is bullshit, the difference between bullshitting and lying, why it’s hard to admit you want status, why it’s so important to outperform the previous generation,  and why suffering is a vital part of life.

Today’s conversation is with John Morris.

John is the Founder of Prime Property Auctions and a Property Investment Specialist.

Expect to learn John’s path to selling properties at auction, the value of accumulating skills and experience within your career that can turn into your own business, the power of positivity, the role auction houses play in the property market, and the biggest levers John is pulling to try and grow Prime Property Auctions into the biggest and best auction house in the UK.

I know many of you enjoyed my recent solo podcast on lessons from £1.1M of sales, and this episode is also packed with insights on sales, communication, growing a team, culture and much more.

Today, the guest is me and I answer the Questions sent in by the listeners over Instagram, on my new Patreon and on my email list.

These include my thoughts on over 25 questions including the political situation in the UK post general election, getting therapy, taking the handbrake off in life, truly happy memories, and if society is really finished and doomed…

Not the lightest and airiest of topics for that question, but I hope my answer on it isn’t all doom and gloom.
