It's safe to say there's a tonne of information out there and available to us these days. It has its positives but it can also make seeing progress in an area more tricky.

We always tend to look for the next best thing to shift our attention towards. We think doing more things will always equal faster progress. When in reality, we are probably doing all the right things already but we just aren't great enough at those things.

Using the 80/20 rule is all about obsessing over the 20% of things you could be doing that will create the most value. If we really want to be great in an area, we need to devote the time and energy to practicing those core 20% of basics to a point where we find mastery.

This podcast goes into the details of why this is so vital towards making progress and how to find out what that 20% looks like for you.

In this Ep we talk about Alecs Donovans personal journey into rugby as well as what it was like opening up her yoga studio The Yoga Hub at the start of the pandemic.

Please head over on IG and give Alecs a follow at @alecs_donovan1 for some real genuine positivity, and head over to https://www.yogability.fit if you want to try your hand at yogability!

I found an old note I wrote from several years ago and it got me thinking about the obstacles I have faced & the journey I am on.

'I can think of nothing worse than living a life where I let obstacles define me.'


I wanted to share my take on it and how you can use the advice in the way I did. There is always an opportunity for growth available to us. We just need to train ourselves on how to see it.

A great chat with one of my all time favourite guys in the industry. Not only does andy walk the walk & talk the talk but his passion for what he believes in is second to none.

In this episode we discuss the sacrifices made when opening a gym, Andy's views on the industry and his fight to keep gyms open.

A must listen. Enjoy!

We all want to make progress in some area or another.

What if I told you it takes the same journey no matter what you are aiming to improve?

In this episode I talk though some of the lessons I have learnt through chasing & building various skills.

I use my most recent skill (chipping golf balls into a protein shaker) as a reference point to show how the process translates to other skills and life in general.

Here we go again!

So much to cover in this one so I'm going to go for a bulleted list!
- Shifting Your Perspective
- Utilising The Time
- Persuing Your Resolutions
- Using Mindfulness To Grow & Get Better

This ones for everyone. We have an opportunity now to take this last push and enrich our lives through cultivating a daily practice.

In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. - Eric Hoffer


2021 is coming and with it is the temptation to do what everyone else is doing and set flimsy new resolutions like you do every year.

This year there is an alternative option. To focus on building yourself up and making yourself a stronger person both mentally and socially. New years wont be a magic reset button that makes life all sunshine and rainbows, the same challenges and struggles are going to keep coming and your ability to be strong and to see stress as something to learn and grow from will be your best skill.

The people around you need you now more than ever. Use these skills to become that person they need.

This is the podcast.

What a note to finish the year on. What started as two mates catching up and having a chit chat turned into one of the most insightful and powerful podcasts I have done to date.

If you listen to one podcast between now and the end of the year, let it be this one.

Talking with my mum about the internal and external struggles and setbacks faced on my way to becoming the person I am today.

Some laughs, lessons and useful insights to take away and apply.

Long term success comes down to finding and refining a personal daily process that takes you closer towards your goals. It requires a tonne of action that will a lot of the time feel either undesirable, tedious or scary.

Shifting your mindset towards one where you see everything as an experiment lowers the cost of failure. I lowers the entry point into taking these necessary actions and in turn getting results back.

As I always say there is no failure, only lessons to be learned. With every time you are proactive you are bringing about an opportunity for growth.

This is the sure fire way to long term success. It helps us to take action, learn from errors and build up confidence in yourself.

Try Something.
Fuck Up.
Learn.
Go Again.
Done.
