Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age

Do you ever feel like there’s no point in trying something new and just give up?

Andy’s friend, Jason Boyle, joins the conversation in a special episode. Insightful, full of positive energy, Jason is a mentor (like Andy, Dave, and Phil) and shares with us who his first mentor was (a super cool Mancunian), how he recently transformed his life, setting up global communities, how he teaches kids social media, and how he recently found love from a distant land.

Jason is an inspirational fellow (of Architecture and Arts), founder of the GAA with 4k members…and is also of a certain age (old), like us.

If you stopped brushing your teeth but told everyone you'd cleaned them three times a day, would anyone know you'd lied apart from yourself? That's the question our latest guest, Daniel de la Cruz (Founder, Polymensa), posed when we asked him to join us. Thankfully, we were all remote when we recorded this episode, so we couldn’t tell...

Imposter syndrome: it's something most of us feel at least once in a lifetime, but how do we recognise and get over this self-doubting voice in our heads? Dave and Phil explore what it means to them, whilst Andy questions whether it exists...or is, in fact, an imposter...

The Codmasters lay bare their primitive minds in the latest episode. Can we control our inner chimps, as Professor Steve Peters explains in his seminal book The Chimp Paradox, or are we stuck with them?
