When institutions wobble and narratives compete, you still need a way to steer.

In this episode of The Positive Regression Podcast, we walk through a practical Truth Filter—rooted in values, vision, and verification—to help you make sense of conflicting claims, biased media, and information overwhelm. We cover a daily sensemaking loop, how to reduce narrative pull, and a media hygiene checklist you can start using today.

You’ll take away: clarity on your core values, a simple reality-testing routine, and the confidence to act without outsourcing your judgment.

How can we become less busy while becoming more productive?

In this episode of the podcast I discuss this very challenge with Nicolas Thành from Scale in Peace.

Nico helps his clients to be more productive and effective with their time, optimising workflows, introducing efficient systems, all while also looking at the human element of an organisation.

We all have 24 hours in the day and most of us feel like we could use that time better. It's not about working more hours, but working more efficiently so we can accomplish more with less.

Nico discusses how focusing on the human aspect of an organisation can often lead to the best outcomes, and how this approach can be applied in our own lives to feel better and do more with the time we have.

If you're interested in obtimising your life, this is the episode for you.

What if the money in your wallet wasn’t truly yours?
In this episode, I sit down with Sarn, an expert crypto consultant helping his clients understand and delve into the realm of crypto, to unpack the deeper layers of Bitcoin—what it is, why it matters, and how it’s quietly disrupting the old financial system.

We explore how inflation, government overreach, and unchecked money printing have become tools of hidden wealth extraction—and why Bitcoin might be the antidote.

This isn’t just a conversation about crypto—it’s about freedom, sovereignty, and the new rules of wealth in a changing world. Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or already deep in the rabbit hole, this episode will challenge how you think about money, power, and what it means to be truly free.

In this conversation with authentic alignment coach William Sidgwick, we discuss what it actually means to be in authentic alignment with oneself.

Authenticity is a word that is thrown around so casually in modern culture, but what is it really and why is it important? Why do so many of us struggle to find and live as our true selves?

We also discuss William's fascinating personal transformation from heavy drug user to drug free coach following his experience with multi day Vipassana meditation retreats.

Top 1% of Podcasters worldwide!

In this milestone episode of The Positive Regression Podcast, I’m celebrating reaching 21 episodes—the point 99% of all podcasts never reach.

But instead of focusing on numbers or external milestones, I dive into the deeper meaning of success and what it really takes to keep going when the results aren’t instant.

Joining me is my fiancée, Julia Schmitz, a trained psychological interviewer, who flips the script by asking me the questions this time. We explore why using different definitions of success can better help us to reach our goals. We discuss why it isn’t just about money, status, or recognition, and why so many people get stuck chasing someone else’s definition of success.

I share the mental shifts that might help you to stay on track when pursuing your goals, the role of self-belief, and how failure often becomes the catalyst for growth.

It’s an honest, down-to-earth conversation about defining success on your own terms, trusting the process, and becoming the kind of person who can achieve the life you want. Whether you’re building a business, pursuing a passion, or simply looking to feel more fulfilled in your life, this episode is a reminder that success is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
