I launched this podcast in March 2023. At the time, my mission was practically written in stone (no pun intended!). Unfortunately, the more I got into podcasting, the further I start to drift from this mission.

That's why, I had to go right back to the inception of TSM and return to my roots to understand what this podcast is really all about and what I aim to achieve through it.

This wasn't an easy decision but it is absolutely for the best. In the episode, I talk through my decision to the point of purging more than 2 years worth of podcasting content and 8 years worth of social media content.

This week marked the first big step in a whole new direction for me.

I’m genuinely excited about this change - but I know my younger self would be fuming, because this was definitely not the plan.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how both my personal and professional life have unfolded in ways I never expected, bringing me to this point.

I don't often get people approaching me in the gym - I think it might be to do with the fact that I look permanently raging most of the time (I'm actually a nice guy, promise).

But, I did have two gents approach me this week and it went exactly the way I expected it would 🙄

How do you feel about social media?

For me, social media and I have had a love-hate relationship for years now. But now it's pushed me to the point where I've had enough.

From today, me and social media are done (for now anyway). Apps deleted, phone off, and here's why.

Whenever someone says they feel like a burden, the usual response is to try and convince them that’s not true.

“You’re not a burden"

"You're not bothering me"

"You're not taking up my time"

All lies.

In this episode we explore the common belief of 'being a burden' - why so many of us are convinced by it, why attempting to never be a burden will always fail and why you need to learn to let others carry you.

Is doing more always the key to better health and fitness?

As a young coach, I believed the answer was yes - get clients moving as much as humanly possible. But that approach backfired - badly.

In this episode of The Strong Men Podcast, I share exactly what went wrong with one client, and taking a different (and unpopular) approach changed everything.

Chocolate, pizza, beer, sweets, cake, crisps...

The downfall of many a health kick.

If you’re trying to improve your health, banning these foods might seem like a simple, sensible solution - right?

Or is treating certain foods as the problem actually... well, the problem?

Find out in this week’s episode of The Strong Men Podcast.
