Chris couldn’t make it this week… so this is my first ever solo episode.

No safety net. No banter. Just me.

I talk about:

– Waking up at 5AM with anxiety and worst-case scenarios
 – Doom scrolling instead of dealing with what’s actually bothering me
 – The pressure of being a parent in 2026
 – Making hard decisions in business
 – Losing my dad and what that’s really changed in me
 – Fighting the inner voice that wants comfort over growth

This one isn’t polished.
 It’s honest.

If you’re a mum or dad feeling pressure, if your brain won’t switch off, or if you know you need to step up in certain areas of your life… this one’s for you.

I also mention two brilliant movements helping people talk more openly:

 – MATES FACEBOOK GROUP - 

 – The “You Alright Mate?” Event -

It’s Thursday.
 It’s AccountabiliBuddy time.

Last week we set the challenges:
 – Fight the inner bitch
 – Gym at 6am
 – No vaping
 – Socialise at the kid’s party
 – Get uncomfortable

Did we actually do it?

We talk Viking workouts, nearly losing £150 glasses in a bouncy castle, fighting dopamine addiction, silence in the dark, focus mode on your phone and why most of us are just negotiating with ourselves all day.

No fluff.
 No guru chat.
 Just two dads trying to do what we say we’re going to do.

New challenges set for next week.

Are you keeping yourself accountable… or just talking about it?

Last week we put Chris in the hot seat… so this week we turn the mic on Ashley.

We talk about the real behind-the-scenes of building a business and trying to be present at home at the same time — the pressure, the mental load, and the constant fight to stay focused when you’ve got 100 ideas and not enough hours.

Ashley opens up about Aura Surfaces, why he’s relaunching “Building the Dream”, and what he’s learning about priorities, boundaries, and buying back time.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working flat out but still not moving forward… this one’s for you.

If you enjoyed it: share it with someone who’ll relate, and drop us a message — it genuinely keeps us going.

Another week. Another list.
And this time… it’s Gym Wins & Vape Fails.

In this AccountabiliBuddy bonus episode, we check in on the commitments we made:

• Sticking to the gym
• Cold plunges & hikes
• Growing the podcast
• Quitting the vape (or at least trying)
• Pushing ourselves outside our comfort zones

There are some genuine wins.
 There are some very questionable excuses.
 And there are definitely a few habits that need binning.

We talk discipline vs excuses, structure vs chaos, imposter syndrome, accepting praise, and why quitting bad habits is harder than smashing a gym session.

It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s real-time accountability.

Let’s see if next week’s episode sounds any different.

Ever walked into a room (or started something new) and thought: why am I even here?
That’s imposter syndrome… and weirdly, it’s usually a sign you’re doing the right thing.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why imposter syndrome hits hardest when things start getting real
• How being uncomfortable is often the “proof” you’re growing
• A simple way to strip your head noise back when you feel overwhelmed
• Why confidence doesn’t come first — showing up does

If you’re a tired mum or dad trying your best, feeling like you’re grafting but not moving forward… this one’s for you.

This is a bonus episode. No polish. No preaching. Just accountability.

Last week we set each other some simple challenges:
 go to the gym, do something kind, look after ourselves, and actually follow through.

This week? We checked the receipts.

Some things got done.
 Some things didn’t.
 Life got in the way.
 Excuses were made.
 Lessons were learned.

This episode is about not beating yourself up, celebrating progress (even when it’s messy), and realising that showing up imperfectly still counts.

If you’re a mum or dad trying to make changes, feeling stretched, tired, and like you’re constantly falling short — this one’s for you.

🎯 Listener challenge:
Share this episode with one person who might need a nudge this week.

If you’re a mum or dad doing everything — work, bills, school runs, kids’ emotions, trying to keep the house calm — and it still feels like you’re not moving forward… this one’s for you.

In this episode we talk about the real stuff:

• why it’s so hard to celebrate the small wins when life feels heavy
• the mental load of parenting (and why it never really “switches off”)
• how doomscrolling and negativity quietly wreck your energy at home
• and the simple habit changes that start a knock-on effect (movement, food, sleep, being present)

No preaching. No perfect routines. Just an honest conversation for tired parents trying their best — and a reminder that you are moving forward, even if it doesn’t feel like it today.

If this hits home, share it with a parent who needs it.

This is AccountabiliBuddy — the bonus episode where we stop talking about what we should do and get honest about what we actually did.

This week we call each other out properly.
 What we said we’d do.
 What we actually did.
 Where we failed.
 And what we’re committing to next.

We talk gym nerves, vaping slip-ups, showing up for our kids, walking in sideways rain, and why small wins matter more than big promises.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s real life accountability — in public.

If you’re a tired mum or dad trying to get your life back on track, this one’s for you.

This episode isn’t about quitting drinking.
 And it’s definitely not about telling anyone what to do.

It’s just two lads being honest about our relationship with alcohol — the good, the bad, and the stuff you only really think about when you’re lying awake at 4am.

We talk about:

• why alcohol can feel like confidence… until it doesn’t
• the anxiety, broken sleep and clouded judgement after drinking
• using alcohol as a reward, a habit, or a coping mechanism
• how it affects showing up for work, your kids and the people around you
• why some people quit, some don’t, and most of us sit somewhere in the middle

Season 3 is about accountability and showing up properly — and for a lot of people, alcohol plays a bigger part in that than they realise.

We’re not experts. We’re not preaching.
 This is just our experience.

Welcome to the first ever Untold Podcast bonus episode — and the start of our weekly accountability check-ins.

This episode is less polished, more honest, and very real.

We cover:

• Chris getting humbled by a CBeebies workout with his 4-year-old
• Ash getting destroyed by Way of the Vikings (and realising how unfit he actually is)
• Setting real, uncomfortable accountability for the next 7 days
• Parenting moments that hit hard and force change
• Gym fear, excuses, no water, no sleep… and still showing up

This is what accountability actually looks like — not motivation quotes, just real life.

We’re doing these bonus episodes every Thursday, holding each other (and ourselves) accountable in real time.
