You don’t need another productivity hack or morning routine.

You need to figure out why the discipline you want never sticks.

This week’s episode on The One Percent podcast is a straight-talking breakdown of what’s really behind the sentence I hear from so many men:

“I know what I need to do - I just don’t do it.”

I break down:

• What discipline actually is - and why it’s not what you think
• Why shouting at yourself never works in the long run
• How your daily habits, sleep, boundaries, and emotional state create - or kill - consistency
• Why most men get stuck in the loop of all-or-nothing thinking - and how to break it
• How to ask the right questions when things fall apart so you can course-correct instead of crash

If you’ve ever felt like you “just need more discipline,” this is worth your time.

This week for Episode 33 of The One Percent podcast, I’m joined by Kamal Aggarwall - tax director, husband, and dad - for a powerful conversation on momentum, mindset, and what it really means to live as your 2.0 self.

Kamal first completed The Blueprint over two years ago. And this conversation isn’t about a transformation in progress - it’s about what happens when you take the lessons, own the process, and keep showing up long after the program ends.

We cover:

• Why “good on paper” can still feel stuck
• The trap of all-or-nothing thinking
• What ego really costs you in daily life
• How to stay on track when things drift
• And why a bias toward action always wins

This week, I’m joined by Lee Edney - dad of two, newly married, and a senior leader in tech - for a conversation about the hidden cost of success when life looks fine on the outside… but doesn’t feel it.

Fifteen months ago, Lee reached out with a clear goal - get in shape for his wedding. But underneath that was something deeper: stress, sluggishness, bad habits creeping in, and a sense that he wasn’t showing up as the man, dad, or partner he wanted to be.

This episode is about what happens when you finally decide to stop accepting “fine” and start doing the real work - not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and structurally. It’s about putting your oxygen mask on first - so you can lead from the front, not from survival mode.

We cover:

• The danger of life looking “fine” but feeling off
• Breaking out of the work-stress-wine-repeat cycle
• Why systems beat willpower every time
• How small changes at home created huge shifts at work
• What it means to feel proud of who you’re becoming

This week on The One Percent podcast, I’m joined by Andy Taylor - dad, husband, and co-owner of a busy logistics business - for a powerful conversation about what really changed when he decided to stop white-knuckling life and start doing the work.

Nine months ago, Andy had what most would call a great life: success in business, a happy home, a good routine. But underneath that, he was burnt out, spinning his wheels, and stuck in an all-or-nothing perfectionist loop.

This episode is about what happens when you do know what to do – but you’re just not doing it. And more importantly, what it takes to break that cycle and build something better.

We cover:

• The danger of “it all looks fine”
• How perfectionism leads to sabotage
• Why resilience starts with the basics
• How daily habits rebuild self-esteem
• The surprising power of group accountability

If you’re stuck in your own head, chasing perfection, or just know you’ve got more to give - this one’s for you.

This week on The One Percent podcast, I’m joined again by Tom Yoxall - dad of two, sales consultant, and someone who’s completely changed the trajectory of his life in just eight months.

Tom first came to me struggling with his relationship with alcohol - not a crisis, but a slow erosion. Daily drinking, poor sleep, stress, not present. He wasn’t the dad or partner he wanted to be and he knew something had to change.

Since then, everything has - not overnight, but through consistent, honest work. Tom V1 is dead and buried. This is a conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.

We talk about:

• Why alcohol was the surface-level problem
• How Tom dropped five and a half stone and reversed high blood pressure
• What showing up looks like when life is chaotic
• The power of group accountability and calling out your own bullsh*t
• Why real change starts with small habits, not big promises

If you’re numbing out, stuck in bad habits, or pretending it’s all fine when it;’s really not - this episode is for you.

This week on The One Percent podcast, I’m joined by Scott Mathieson – new dad, senior finance exec, and someone who, seven months ago, felt totally off track.

Life looked great from the outside – solid career, wife pregnant with their first child – but Scott was at his lowest ebb.

Unfit, stressed, reacting poorly at work, and aware he wasn’t in a place to be the dad or husband he wanted to be.

In this episode, we talk about how Scott went from stuck and overwhelmed to clear, consistent, and in control – without needing a complete life overhaul.

We cover:

• What to do when nothing feels “wrong” – but nothing feels right
• Why change doesn’t have to be extreme to be effective
• How mornings transformed Scott’s mindset and productivity
• The power of small habits and simple structure
• Why self-awareness & intentionality is everything

If you’re stuck in your own head, know you want to be better, but never manage to take the first step to change; this one is for you.

This week, I’m joined by Rick Knights - recruitment business owner, husband, and dad of three (including twins).

A few months ago, Rick wasn’t in crisis - but something wasn’t right. On paper, life looked great. But he wasn’t showing up how he wanted to.

He wasn’t present. He had f*ck all energy. He wasn’t fat, but he wasn’t healthy.

A simple quote from Rick summed it up:

“I’m not depressed, but…”

And like a lot of the guys I work with, he wasn’t sure what needed to change… just that something did.

“I know what I need to do, but I’m just not doing it”

In this episode, we talk about how building small, consistent habits helped Rick reclaim control - first at home, as a dad and husband and then in business.

We cover:

• How to build structure when life feels chaotic
• The real reason you don’t “have time”
• Why habits - not hacks - create lasting change
• How self-care helps you show up for others
• And why being present beats being perfect

Whether you’re running on empty or know you’ve got more to give - this is proof that small steps lead to big changes.

This week, I’m joined by John McIntosh - co-CEO, father of two, and someone who, just a few months ago, felt like he was failing on every front.

Overwhelmed, burnt out, and feeling like he was doing a bad job at work, at home, and everywhere in between - John reached out, not because life was on fire, but because he knew something wasn’t right.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when you’re spread too thin, the trap of thinking you should feel great, and how returning to the basics helped John find clarity, energy, and confidence again.

We cover:

• What to do when life feels like too much
• Why self-compassion matters more than self-criticism
• The power of physical health on mental wellbeing
• And how agency - not control - is the key to resilience

Whether you’re running on empty, feeling stuck, or just know you’re capable of more - this is a brilliant reminder that simple steps, done well, can make a big difference.

This week, I welcome back James Brighton - two years after he first completed the Blueprint. Back then, James was feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected from his own life.

Today, he joins us to reflect on the journey since - how he’s built resilience, created space for what matters, and rediscovered the version of himself he thought he’d lost.

We talk honestly about anxiety, people-pleasing, burnout, the myth of ‘not enough time’, and the reality of taking full responsibility for your life.

This is a story of quiet transformation - of a man who didn’t make radical changes overnight, but who committed to showing up, day after day, and reclaimed control over his mind, health and relationships.

Whether you’re in the thick of it, going through the motions, or struggling to keep your head above water - this is a must-listen reminder that you don’t need a breakdown to make a breakthrough.

Everyone has the ability to thrive and be resilient to the vicissitudes of life.

In this special and more personal episode of The One Percent Podcast, I share my own journey - where the idea for The One Percent came from, the experiences that shaped my approach, and why I believe small, consistent habits are the key to sustainable growth and resilience.

And how the obstacle is ALWAYS the way.

From growing up in the delightful Yorkshire town of Doncaster (aka Donny), navigating family challenges, university days studying philosophy (and getting whammo’d), and early career stress, this episode explores how The One Percent came to be…

The turning point came during a routine 20-week pregnancy scan, when my first son, Nino, was diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition - which was the catalyst for me making a big change in my life and where the seeds of The One Percent were sown.

This episode highlights how life's challenges can catalyse opportunities for growth and change. How personal struggles, career stress, and family health crises underline the importance of prioritising wellbeing, accountability, and small, meaningful changes.

And how you can ALWAYS turn adversity into growth.
