The New Standard - Podcast

Welcome to this episode of The New Standard Podcast.

Most men are busy but few are actually productive.

In this episode, we break down the difference between motion and momentum… and why being constantly “on the go” is the exact reason you’re not moving forward.

We cover:
– The hidden cost of busyness and why it kills real progress
– The 3 focus points that actually move the needle
– How to build systems that create results instead of chaos
– And why slowing down might be the fastest way to grow

Because the truth is:
If you’re constantly busy but still stuck, you don’t need more hours you need more focus.

This episode will help you shift from reacting to everything... to intentionally building a life that’s progressing, not just full.

Welcome to this episode of The New Standard Podcast.

We’ve got 90 days left of this year.

And how you use them will decide whether you finish proud of yourself or stuck making excuses.

In this episode, we break down how to create a simple, ruthless game plan for the final stretch of 2025.

We cover:
– Why 90 days is more than enough to create life-changing momentum
– How to commit to ONE goal that actually moves the needle
– The exact 12-week roadmap for training, nutrition, and routines
– The role of identity and standards when motivation dies
– And how to build accountability so you finish what you start

Because the truth is:
Most men coast through the end of the year. They slow down when they should be doubling down.

This episode will show you how to flip that pattern and finish 2025 stronger than you started.

If you don’t have energy, you have nothing.

In this episode, we break down why energy is the foundation of everything you want to do from building your body, to growing your business, to showing up properly in your relationships.

We cover:

– Why energy is the most underrated resource successful men protect
– What drains your energy daily (and how to stop it)
– How to build habits that generate energy, instead of constantly reacting to burnout
– And the link between physical energy, mental clarity, and consistent momentum

Because the truth is:
If you’re constantly tired, unfocused, or dragging your feet through the day…
It’s not a time issue. It’s an energy issue.

This episode will show you how to start protecting, prioritising, and rebuilding your energy so you can finally go all-in on the things that matter.

Welcome to this episode of The New Standard Podcast.

Let’s get one thing clear:
Success isn’t about being the smartest, the fittest, or the fastest.
It’s about not stopping.

In this episode, we break down the mindset behind never giving up and why the only way you truly fail is by walking away from the thing you said you wanted.

We cover:

– Why most men give up just before the breakthrough
– The difference between temporary setbacks and actual failure
– How to stay focused when results are slow and life gets heavy
– And why committing for life changes everything in your body, business, and belief

This one’s a reminder that progress isn’t linear.
You’ll slip. You’ll stall. But you only lose if you quit.

If you’re in a dip right now or questioning if it’s even worth it this is the episode you need.

Keep going.
Keep showing up.

Because you can’t lose a game you refuse to stop playing.

Welcome to this episode of The New Standard Podcast.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my client Aaron, who’s been working with me for just over 12 months.

And in that time?
He’s dropped over 30 kilos, built a thriving business from scratch, and completely transformed the way he thinks, works, and lives.

But this isn’t some highlight reel.

Aaron’s story is filled with setbacks, self-doubt, and tough moments the kind of challenges most people let break them.

We talk openly about:

– What it really takes to lose 30kg and keep it off
– Starting a business when you’re scared and unsure
– How to keep going when life throws obstacles at you
– And why so many men struggle to actually acknowledge their growth

This conversation is honest, relatable, and full of takeaways especially if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're not doing enough.

Because success isn’t a straight line.
It’s messy, imperfect, and full of lessons.

Aaron’s story is proof that with the right structure, mindset, and support you can build a new standard for yourself, no matter where you’re starting from.

Welcome to this episode of The New Standard Podcast.

Most men are stuck in survival mode working, eating, sleeping, scrolling never pausing to ask where is this actually heading?

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the power of vision.

Because without a clear picture of who you want to become and the life you actually want to live…

You’ll settle.
You’ll play small.
And you’ll keep repeating the same week on loop, hoping something changes.

Here’s what we cover:

– Why most guys feel directionless even when they’re “doing okay”
– The real reason you lack motivation (it’s not what you think)
– How to map out a vision that pulls you forward... in your body, career, relationships, and mindset
– Why clarity = confidence, and how to start creating both

If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of more but can’t quite see the next step this episode will help you zoom out, refocus, and take control of your future.

Because once your vision expands, so does your standard.

If you’ve ever felt like diabetes is holding you back from getting in shape this episode is going to flip that belief on its head.

I’m joined by Mark Manning, a Type 1 Diabetes specialist and fitness coach who’s helped countless men build lean, strong, healthy bodies while managing their condition with confidence.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

– How to train safely and effectively with Type 1
– The biggest nutrition mistakes men with T1D make
– Why mindset and identity are just as important as macros
– The exact structure and habits Mark uses with his clients for long-term success

Whether you’ve been diagnosed yourself, know someone who has, or you just want to understand how to train with more intention and structure this one’s a must-listen.

Because diabetes doesn’t have to be a limitation.
With the right plan, it can actually be the reason you level up.

Welcome to this episode of The Finn Fitness Coaching Podcast.

Let’s be real life doesn’t always go to plan.

You’ll face setbacks. Disappointments. Days where everything feels stacked against you.

But here’s the truth:

Reacting with frustration, anger or sadness won’t fix it.

It’ll just keep you stuck in it.

In this episode, I talk through how to flip your mindset when you’re in a tough spot and actually use it to build more strength, patience, and power in the long run.

We cover:

– How to stop emotional reactions from taking over

– Why shifting perspective is more powerful than seeking control

– And the mindset I use when life punches me in the face (because it will)

This one’s about choosing your response — even when the situation isn’t your fault.

Because the men who win in life aren’t the ones who avoid problems.

They’re the ones who handle them differently.

Let’s turn your next setback into the start of something better.

Welcome to this episode of The Finn Fitness Coaching Podcast.

This one might ruffle a few feathers but it needs to be said.

Weight loss drugs and injections are everywhere right now.

They’re being pushed as the “easy way out.”

But no one’s talking about the long-term consequences.

In this episode, I’m breaking down my honest take on the rise of these quick fixes and why I strongly don’t recommend them for most people.

You’ll hear:

– Why weight loss drugs don’t fix the real problem

– What actually happens when you stop taking them

– The dangerous mindset they create around health and effort

– And what to focus on instead to get real, lasting results

I’m not here to shame anyone.

But if you’re thinking about going down that route or know someone who is this episode could save you months (or years) of frustration and yo-yoing.

There’s no shortcut to self-respect.

Let’s do it the right way.

Welcome to this episode of The Finn Fitness Coaching Podcast!

Today, we’re stripping positivity back to the fundamentals.

Because let’s be honest life can be hard. But staying negative about it doesn’t make it any easier.

If you want to build more real positivity not fake smiles or toxic optimism then there are 3 key things you need to start doing consistently:

1. Acceptance – Letting go of the fight against what you can’t control

2. Gratitude – Training your mind to focus on what’s already going right

3. Celebration – Actually acknowledging your progress, even when it’s small

In this episode, we break each one down and talk through how to make them part of your daily mindset even if you feel stuck right now.

This isn’t about ignoring your problems.

It’s about shifting how you show up to them.

If you’ve been caught in a loop of frustration, comparison, or feeling like nothing’s ever enough this one’s going to hit deep.

Let’s rebuild your perspective, your energy, and your power one thought at a time.
