CamBro Conversations

Today’s conversation is with Thomas Maw, also known as TM Cycles.

Since I hosted Tom on episode 53 of the podcast, there have been some big lifestyle changes which you can expect to hear all about.

These includes moving away from bodybuilding towards functional fitness, stopping steroids and managing his physical and mental health as part of that process, redefining himself online, and much more.

There is so much in this conversation from understanding the role of identity and habits, testosterone replacement therapy, body dysmorphia, break ups, being willing to learn, productivity and even cancel culture and Andrew Tate.

Anyone that knows Tom knows this conversation is direct, straight talking and honest. For that, I’m very grateful to Tom for coming on the show and the content he continues to create and share.

Today’s conversation is with Ali Crawford, CrossFit Athlete and the winner of the masters class at the CrossFit Games 2022.

With that win comes the title of Fittest Woman on Earth in the over 45s category.

Expect to learn about Ali’s entry to CrossFit, her journey and competing history including being the first ever Scottish CrossFit Games athlete.

Ali shares how she balances family life as a wife and mother of 2 with her training and competitive aspirations.

Having finishes 14th at the 2018 games, 2nd in 2021, before winning the title in 2022 there is a lot to learn from Ali’s consistent improvement.

It’s amazing to see someone from Scotland go out there and win on the world stage and I also ask Ali what we need to do to produce more high class performers in this space, which leads to a conversation on how people can achieve success and even finding fame in many different areas.

Today’s conversation is with Rob Lipsett, owner of FuelCakes, GamePlan, Youtuber and best selling author.

This is fast paced, deep dive into Rob’s story, mindset and perspectives.

Expect to learn about life before the fitness entrepreneur tag line and multiple businesses, hearing about the early years of starting creating on Youtube, building his audience, overcoming naysayers, and taking huge chances and risks to network with the top names in the fitness industry.

Any one familiar with Rob knows he brings tremendous positive energy, but this was not an attitude he always brought to life and you’ll find out about sources Rob used and actions he took to develop into the man you see now. Within this we get into the topic of self development books, toxic positivity, toxic masculinity, Adele’s weight loss, and more.

Finally, I ask about Rob’s businesses, his recent property refurbishment of Villa Lipsett after his move to Marbella, catching up with Connor McGregor, and even his crypto portfolio.

You’re going to love this episode, I have a lot of appreciation for Rob and the messages he puts out there and I hope you come away from this episode with some of the energy we generate during this podcast. And use some of that energy to share this a screenshot of the show to your Instagram story.

Today’s conversation is with Johnny Starr, Real Estate Agent, Owner of Neverhome, and real OG of the online fitness community.

I’ve followed Johnny for almost a decade and loved the chance to have this casual but deep chat with him. I appreciate how determined Johnny is to use his story and experiences to inspire and drive others to pursue their best version.

We go full circle in this podcast with Johnny sharing his incredible and eventful life story. Expect to hear about how working in McDonalds was the link and seed of Johnny’s entry into both the fitness world and his real estate career.

Johnny is so open about the lowest of lows and the highest of highs and shares how he is now living a life that makes him, and the most important people to him happy.

I won’t do this hour discussion justice in this short summary but you have a lot coming your way including building a world class physique, learning from mentors and top coaches, reading Jordan Peterson and James Smith, recreational drug addiction, being one of the first Gymshark athletes, building a clothing brand, and even money management.

Lindsay was also a competitive bodybuilder from 2006-2014, competing in 20 national contests and winning multiple bodybuilding titles including Mr Wales, Mr Scotland, Midlands Champion, 2 x Mr Hercules and finishing top 4 in UK twice.

Expect to learn about his upbringing and how this shaped his desire to be in the military as well as his early years serving in the Royal Highland Fusiliers.

I ask about applying for the SAS, the process, the mindset and physical capabilities required, and what it felt like to be recognised as one of the true military elite.

Today’s conversation is with Pete Matthew, Financial Planner, Podcaster, YouTuber, and CEO of Jacksons Wealth Management.

From flipping burgers in McDonalds to becoming Managing Director of Jackson’s Wealth Management, Pete followed a fairly classic career path. Until he started messing around with a video camera and creating content.

I’ve titled this episode the Podfather of UK Personal Finance and that is for good reason. Pete has shared countless hours of indepth content on the Meaningful Money Podcast and Youtube Channel in the last decade.

Expect to learn about Pete’s background and journey, the 3 steps to Financial Success including insight into budgeting, debt, insuring against disaster, paying yourself first, and how to invest wisely,

I get into the nitty gritty and benefit from Pete’s expertise on striking the right balance between Pensions and Isa payments, the Tax considerations, and how to manage your pension with your employer.

As part of this conversation, you will also hear about multi asset funds and what to look for in your initial choices to have a light touch, relatively low admin approach to investing and personal finance.

Finally, I ask about risk appetite and tolerance as well as the biggest financial mistakes Pete sees being made and the answers might surprise you.

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

These include my thoughts on taking steroids, my recent promotion to Account Director for the North of the UK, romantic relationships, a recap of the key takeaways from seeing Jordan Peterson live in Glasgow, getting pegged and much more.

We are in touching distance of episode 150 which feels like another big milestone for the podcast. Thanks for all your support.

My hint is I am interviewing the Podfather of UK personal finance who is a fountain of knowledge on money, investing, pensions, and future planning.
