EP20 - Real Talk in Real Life: Coaching, Kids & Chaos


Listen Later

In our first-ever face-to-face recording, things start off a bit awkward… footsie under the table, intense eye contact, and lots of laughs — but this quickly evolves into one of the most heartfelt, honest, and reflective episodes we’ve recorded to date.

Andy’s just moved back to the UK after 21 years in Spain - and he opens up about the emotional chaos that comes with big life changes: new schools for the kids, lack of routine, bubbling anxiety, and a sense of not being quite "where he wants to be." Rich shares a powerful moment watching his son embrace the transition into high school - and how it reminded him of the quote: "No man ever steps in the same river twice."

Together, we explore:

  • 🎙️ The closure of the Over the Influence podcast and what it teaches us about boundaries and burnout in community-building
  • 🧠 ADHD, anxiety, and how change hits different when your brain works a bit differently
  • 📱 The dilemma of smartphones and parenting in a digital world
  • 🏃‍♂️ Our new AI-enhanced coaching system using RunDot - and how it’s helping us (and our runners) train smarter, not harder
  • 💬 Why connection (to others and ourselves) is everything during life transitions
  • 🙌 Huge shoutouts to our Clean Break runners tackling the Great North Run & upcoming marathons

This episode is for anyone navigating change - whether that’s a career shift, a lifestyle transition, becoming alcohol-free, or just facing the reality that life never stays still.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not quite where you want to be”… you’ll want to hear this.
