December has a habit of becoming a write-off.

More booze. More food. More late nights.

And the same lie every year: “I’ll just sort it in January.”

I know - because that used to be me.

By December 26th I was broken, inflamed, usually ill with an asthmatic chest-infection, and starting January like a warm bag of s***. Every year. Like clockwork.

In this solo episode, I break down why silly season doesn’t need to derail you - and how you can enjoy Christmas without spending January digging yourself out of a hole.

This isn’t about being a monk.

And it’s not about going completely feral either.

It’s about being intentional, keeping basic standards in place, and making December work for you - not against you.

We cover:

• Why “I’ll start again in January” keeps you stuck
• How all-or-nothing thinking wrecks both December and January
• The difference between enjoying yourself and running yourself into the ground
• How to relax, indulge, and still feel good in the new year
• Why December behaviour decides how January feels

If you’re done repeating the same December–January cycle every year, this episode will help you break it.

And if you want help putting this into practice - I can help.

Steve Wilson had the medals on the wall - marathons, triathlons, fitness dialled in.

But somewhere along the way, life shifted.

Work got busier. Responsibilities piled up. And slowly, the habits that had kept him grounded slipped.

He still looked the part to most people. But inside, he felt like he was running with a parachute on his back - dragging, stuck, and frustrated that he wasn’t living up to his own standards.

In this episode, we talk about how Steve stopped trying to chase past versions of himself - and started building a simpler, more sustainable way to live, lead, and feel in control.

We cover:

• Why being “fit before” doesn’t make it easier now
• The mental weight of knowing you’re underperforming
• How ego keeps high-achievers stuck in all-or-nothing cycles
• What it looks like to lower the bar, stay consistent, and still win
• The shift from proving something - to living like you’ve got nothing to prove

If you’ve ever felt like you’re dragging yourself through the week - but can’t work out why - this one’s for you.

Tim Wright was doing all right on paper - partner at an international law firm, nice house, young family, good life.

In this episode, we talk about what changed - and how taking action, building basic habits, and taking responsibility for himself helped Tim regain control.

We cover:

• Why overthinking is just procrastination wearing a balaclava
• The link between booze, the “dadbod”, and pretending everything’s fine
• How Tim shifted from “I know what I need to do” to actually doing it
• Why small changes, accountability (and less wine) made a huge impact on his mental health

When Aaron McWilliam and I first spoke, he was thriving in business - running multiple companies, relentlessly ambitious, and the guy who always got things done.

But privately, he wasn’t the version of himself he wanted to be.

No structure. No balance. Fitness gone. And a creeping sense of frustration that his personal standards didn’t match the ones he held at work.

In this episode, we talk about what changed - and how building small, foundational habits helped Aaron get back in control.

We cover:

• Why work success doesn’t mean life success
• The cost of being out of sync with the version of yourself you want to be
• How to shift from guilt to ownership without beating yourself up
• The power of foundational standards - and why they matter most on your worst days
• How Aaron kept progress going - two years after finishing the programme

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “This isn’t the guy I want to be” - this one’s for you.

When Mike Lashmar and I first spoke, he was spinning lots of plates - juggling a business, a family, his health and trying to hold it all together.

But under the surface, he was knackered. Running on empty. Watching films with the kids and falling asleep 30 minutes in. Half-in at home, half-there at work - and completely out of rhythm with himself.

On the outside, he looked successful.

Inside, he felt like he was blagging it.

That was 18 months ago.

Fast forward to today, and Mike’s fitter, healthier, more grounded - and actually showing up the way he wants to. Not just for his business. But for himself, his wife, and his boys.

We cover:

• How Mike went from stuck and out of shape to Mr. Norwegian 4x4 (you’ll see…)
• The lies we tell ourselves about that keep us stuck
• The compound effect of doing the basics - even when life is full-on
• The gap vs gain mindset that changed how Mike views progress
• Why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish - it’s your responsibility

If you’ve been blagging it for a while - hoping life calms down so you can catch up - this one’s for you.

When Mark Kinally first got in touch, he was successful on paper - but carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Running a business. Raising a young family. Trying to be everything to everyone.

Like many men, COVID brought clarity - but also highlighted what wasn’t working.

Mark didn’t want to repeat the same patterns. Especially with a big move to Portugal on the cards. He didn’t want to carry old habits into a new life.

So we started the work - and over the last 8 months, Mark’s transformed how he thinks, operates, and behaves.

We cover:

• Why fixing your environment won’t fix your internal problems
• How small habits can keep you sane during major life transitions
• What it means to build a “new normal” that actually works
• Why stress isn’t the issue - your response to it is
• The power of leading from the front, especially with your kids

Whether you’re burnt out, juggling a million things, or craving change - this episode is a masterclass in taking ownership, building better habits, and becoming the version of yourself that your future self (and your family) will thank you for.

And if you want that shift - I can help.

James Brook is a CEO, a dad of two, husband and someone who - on the surface had it together.

But underneath, when it cam to taking care of himself, he was caught in the all-or-nothing loop.

If he couldn’t do it perfectly, he wouldn’t do it at all.

The result? Stop-start cycles. No momentum. Constant frustration.

In this episode, we talk about how James broke that loop - not by pushing harder, but by building systems that actually fit real life.

We cover:

• How the all-or-nothing mindset creeps into every area of life
• Why structure, consistency and clarity beat intensity every time
• The shift from pressure-driven chaos to calm, confident execution
• How to build emotional resilience alongside physical momentum
• Why lowering the bar isn’t lowering your standards - it’s building something that lasts

This isn’t just about habits - it’s about identity, self-leadership, and showing up when it counts.

If you’re stuck in stop-start mode and want to build something sustainable - this is the work I do in The One Percent.

You’re silence isn’t reasonable, it’s causing resentment.

You don’t want drama, so you say nothing.

But underneath it all, you’re simmering.

Pissed off at your mrs.

Annoyed at your team.

Resentful at work.

All because people “should know” what you need.

But if you meet 20 c**ts in a day, who's the c**t?

You are the author of your own chaos.

In this episode, I break down the cost of unspoken expectations - and how they ruin relationships, eat away at your energy, and leave you stuck in a loop of resentment and self-righteousness.

We cover:

• Why “they should know” is never a good enough excuse
• How avoiding hard conversations is costing you more than you realise
• The moment I caught myself blaming my wife for something I’d never said out loud
• How to stop outsourcing your needs and start being clear
• How to communicate like an adult - without being a dick

If you’ve been bottling things up and wondering why people keep “letting you down” - this is your wake-up call.

And if this resonates and you want to fix it.

This is the work I do in The One Percent.

On paper, things looked fine. A CTO in a fast-scaling startup. A new dad. Life full to the brim.

But underneath, Sam Boswell was stuck - completely out of rhythm, routines gone, and that familiar story playing on repeat:

“I know what I need to do - I’m just not doing it.”

In this episode, we talk about how Sam broke through the inertia - not by chasing perfection, but by lowering the bar, parking his ego, and committing to small, meaningful action.

We cover:

• Why you can’t expect your old routine to work in a new reality
• The role of ego in keeping high-performers stuck
• How to rebuild momentum when the gap feels too big
• What it really means to “course correct” - and why it beats starting over
• The compound effect of boring, simple habits done daily

If you’re in that place where life feels busy but stagnant – this one’s for you.

On paper, Rupert Leyland had it all sorted - long-term marriage, good job, happy home. But underneath, things didn’t feel quite right.

He was overwhelmed. Snapping more than he liked. Putting himself last – and running at full tilt with no real direction.

In this episode, we talk about what changed - and how small daily shifts helped Rupert finally take control.

We cover:

• The slow slide into disconnection when life looks fine on the surface
• Why the ‘oxygen mask’ principle matters more than ever for men in midlife
• How Rupert built calm, clarity, and control without giving up his edge
• The ripple effect of showing up differently - at home, at work, and as a dad
• Why knowing what to do isn’t enough if you never actually do it
