Shipley opens up the machinery behind his mornings and evenings, from laying out his clothes the night before to the three minute get-ready sequence he calls closing out the chapter, and explains why one hit of the snooze button can throw an entire day off course. The conversation moves from the granular to the philosophical. Shipley shares what he learned standing in the same rooms as elite performers, and why he is convinced that greatness is not genetics but unbroken repetition over decades. He talks about proximity to excellence, keeping yourself in student status, and the idea that discipline is simply magic that nobody wants to explain to you. There is a deeply personal thread running through it all. Shipley speaks candidly about the regret he carries for the version of himself he used to bring home, the small reset he now performs in the driveway before walking through the door, and the thirty minute blocks with his children that he refuses to trade away. He reflects on returning from injury, rebuilding confidence, and being present enough that your absence is actually felt. This is a masterclass in structure, consistency and control of the controllables, delivered by a man who has lived it at the highest level and now teaches it through his Be A Pro talks.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi for one of the most honest and revealing conversations they have had, exploring loss, ownership and the true meaning of contentment. Shi Heng Yi opens up about the most difficult period of his life, the past year and a half, which saw disciples leave, his reputation challenged and long held foundations shaken. He speaks candidly about the gap between public image and private reality, why he chose to remove the uniform for recent interviews and what it means to finally step outside the identity the world built for him. The conversation moves through Buddhist teachings on impermanence and attachment, the Western obsession with getting versus the liberating practice of letting go, and how fatherhood has become his greatest teacher. Shi Heng Yi reflects on watching his young son live entirely in the present moment and what that timelessness reveals about the complexity adults choose to carry. Jordan and Shi Heng Yi also revisit the now famous stone carry challenge, unpacking the unexpected peace that followed and why the weight was never really about the stone. This is a deeply philosophical and personal episode about surrendering the need to become someone, learning to own nothing and finding freedom in simplicity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Phil opens up about a turbulent childhood spent in and out of children's homes, including abuse and relentless bullying, and explains how learning to control his own suffering as a boy shaped the calm he would later rely on under fire. He details the winding path that took him from a scholarship at a public school to the Royal Hampshire Regiment, and the blunt ultimatum from his commanding officer that finally pushed him towards Special Forces selection. The conversation moves through the realities of selection itself, the humbling first months inside the regiment, and the ethos of self-discipline that Phil credits as the single lesson that has shaped his life the most. He recalls being wounded by shrapnel on an operation in Africa, a harrowing capture and imprisonment in a shipping container in Togo, and a tense standoff during a kidnapping incident in Afghanistan. Phil is candid about the difficult transition into civilian life after his time on the private military circuit, including a period of heavy drinking and financial recklessness following operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also talks about rediscovering purpose through boxing, including organising charity fights between teams of SAS veterans and Navy SEALs, and reflects on the humility he believes defines genuine Special Forces operators. The episode closes with Phil's advice for young people who feel they have no clear path forward, drawn directly from his own journey through the care system and into one of the toughest selection courses in the world.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Arthur Brooks, professor at Vanderbilt University and a leading researcher into the science of happiness, to unpack why success so often fails to deliver the fulfilment it promises. Arthur explains the arrival fallacy, the hedonic treadmill and why the brain can treat achievement much like it treats drugs, alcohol or gambling. He introduces Thomas Aquinas' four idols of money, power, pleasure and honour, and walks Jordan through identifying which one quietly drives his own decisions. The conversation moves into the dark triad personality, the real difference between kindness and niceness, and why boredom and an undistracted mind matter far more than we think in an age of constant notifications. Jordan opens up about his pilgrimage across the Scottish Highlands, and the two discuss suffering, faith and what it actually means to live a meaningful life. Arthur closes with a message for every striver watching, that no amount of success can ever substitute for being loved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How do you share wisdom in a world that rarely slows down enough to hear it? In this unseen conversation, Shi Heng Yi reflects on the purpose of Shaolin Temple Europe, the discipline of practice, and the quiet responsibility of passing knowledge from one generation to the next. Filmed at Shaolin Temple Europe in Germany, this episode explores what the temple really represents. Not just martial arts, but a way of improving life, building awareness, creating discipline, and learning how to guide others once you’ve found stability within yourself. Master Shi Heng Yi explains why training continues through rain, cold, discomfort, and uncertainty, and why there is beauty in the harder parts of life. He also shares how Shaolin teachings apply far beyond fighting, through movement, meditation, mindfulness, recovery, balance, and everyday presence. This conversation is about practice over theory, experience over explanation, and the slow, patient work of becoming someone who can carry wisdom with responsibility. If you’re interested in Shaolin philosophy, discipline, mindfulness, martial arts, or personal growth, this episode offers a rare look inside the teachings and environment of Master Shi Heng Yi. Topics include: • Master Shi Heng Yi and Shaolin Temple Europe • The purpose of Shaolin teachings • Discipline, discomfort, and training in nature • Meditation, mindfulness, and martial arts • Why wisdom must be experienced, not just explained • Becoming the best version of yourself • The disciple path and passing knowledge forward • Finding beauty in hardship Learn more about your ad choices.
