Hey everyone, my guest today is Jason Graystone - professional investor, author, podcaster, and educator on all things financial freedom. In this conversation, Jason shares how he went from a council estate to replacing his income by age 29, why most people chase the wrong kind of freedom, and what it actually takes to live a life you don’t want to escape from.

We talked about whether anyone can trade or invest, what makes some people completely unfit for it, and how Jason teaches wealth creation without the hustle! This ended up somewhat surprisingly being a deeper conversation around values, security, and designing your life from the inside.

My guest today is Garrett Kramer. He's a former hockey and golf player, multi-time author, and coach to high-level athletes, coaches, actors, and leaders in general. This was a fascinating conversation and offered a very unique perspective on a subject that I think will resonate, particularly as it relates to high performance in sport, business, and life more broadly.

We take a deep dive into Garrett's work, his principles and philosophies, and how we can apply them to our lives and careers. We get into the nitty-gritty of ego - how it can hinder performance - and explore what it truly means to find out who we are. We look at the essence of coming home to our true selves so that we can perform at a higher level.

I really think you'll enjoy this episode - I certainly did. I'm already looking forward to having Garrett back on the show again in the future because I enjoyed this one so much.

Kade Kendall - last week’s wildly popular guest - returns with part two of his transformation. We pick up exactly where we left off: Kade’s rock-bottom moment.

Kade shares how he went from strength to strength, ultimately building a fitness business empire. We unpack what makes him a standout businessman and gym owner, an unwavering vision, a belief that he’s destined for great things, clear goals for the future, and practical advice for anyone starting a first - or second! - business.

We dip into training too, if he only had 20 minutes a day, what would Kade do and why? He talks through his current training plan, nutrition, and the five habits he can’t live without.

It’s a fantastic end to two really enjoyable weeks getting to know someone who’s built something special.

Kade Kendall is an entrepreneur, coach, and the owner of the highly successful Transformation Unit 247 gym in Barrow-in-Furness.

Today’s guest is Kade Kendall; entrepreneur, coach, and the owner of the highly successful Transformation Unit 247 gym in Barrow-in-Furness.

This was a powerful and honest conversation with a high-performing businessman who has also competed at a top level in bodybuilding.

We explored Kade’s journey from his early school years, dealing with bullying and body image issues, as well as his struggles with dyslexia. Despite those challenges, he found a way out through sport; whether it was golf, football, or cricket.

In one of the most raw parts of the interview, Kade opens up; publicly for the first time; about the lowest point in his life, in the hope that it might support others facing similar challenges.

We dive into themes around bodybuilding, mental health, emotions, and what it really takes to perform at a high level.

Today I’m joined by Matt Bennett; author of six books, former psychotherapist, and founder of OptimalHRV.com. After experiencing great results with the Optimal HRV app, I reached out to Matt, and we ended up diving deep into the science and practice of heart-rate variability.

Whether you’re completely new to HRV or a seasoned athlete seeking marginal gains, understanding what those numbers on your wearable really mean is crucial. In this conversation we unpack the fundamentals, share the most effective ways to boost HRV (including the evening routines that have transformed my own scores), and highlight the pitfalls to avoid.

It’s a fascinating, insight-packed chat.

My guest today is Paddy Maher, a returning guest on the podcast and a highly regarded/experienced strength and conditioning coach.

In this episode, we cover a ton of topics, from building muscle effectively, achieving calorie surpluses, and understanding protein quality, to mastering Hyrox with different strategies drawn from our personal experiences.

We also touch on essential elements of performance, such as hydration, conditioning, speed, and power, as well as how athletes in team sports should structure their training week.

Paddy answers common questions such as when exercises turn catabolic, the benefits and risks of deep squatting, the appropriate use of training to failure, and whether consuming 4,000 calories daily can be healthy.

Additionally, we explore the advantages of being highly carb-adapted, and Paddy shares his top five essential habits for life.

It was a fascinating deep dive into topics I could talk about endlessly. Paddy’s expertise really shines through, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

My guest today is Gaz McNamara - a former British Army Search Team Commander, PTI and Exercise Rehab Instructor who represented the forces in triathlon and athletics, and now holds a Guinness World Record plus multiple HYROX podiums. Since leaving the military he’s founded Plug-In Rehab and the Red On Group, giving coaches and athletes direct access to world-class clinicians while still chasing his own performance goals.

Gaz and I had an awesome chat about his military background, the positives and negatives of a highly routinised life, the reality of bomb disposal, and some of the hairiest moments during Gaz’s deployments in Iraq & Afghanistan. We talk about loss, grief, Gaz’s experience in therapy, masculinity, Hyrox, and we also discuss his businesses, including the RedOn Testing and Performance Centre. This was a really interesting chat with a great guy, and I’m sure you’re going to love it as much as I did.

For years, Mila Elshobary's work remained hidden due to self-doubt, perfectionism, and a harsh inner critic shaped by a strict upbringing. These days Mila shows her beautiful work off proudly. Her art has become more than just expression; it’s medicine, a mirror, and a path to healing!

In this conversation, we explore the emotional and spiritual power of art, the tension between validation and authenticity, what it means to create without fear, and how generational patterns shape the way we see ourselves. Mila also shares the stories behind her most powerful pieces, including one that helped her process grief after losing her mother. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

For two decades, Ciaran Avitabile climbed the corporate ladder, juggling a high-pressure software career with intense HYROX training. But everything changed the day he suffered a mini-stroke while out running with friends. That moment became a powerful turning point, prompting a total reset. He turned to breathwork - not just as a recovery tool, but as a new way of life.

Now, Ciaran coaches early-stage founders and high achievers, helping them chase big goals without burning out.

Our conversation covered so much of what I love talking about: entrepreneurship, performance, habits, HYROX, CO2 tolerance, recovery, Wim Hof… we even did two live breathwork exercises you can try along with us!

I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too.

If you struggle like me with being Anxiously Attached, I really think you’ll appreciate my perspective on this video.

Sadly there is some audio drift part way through which my Podcast hosting provider was unable to fix. If you notice it I'd advise switching to audio only as it's probably distracting.

My guest today is Myles Rawson aka @findyourstridecoach. Myles is a UK-based running coach and movement specialist who works closely with athletes to improve their running form. He’s also a mentee of world-renowned movement coach Shane Benzie, and brings a fascia-focused approach to posture and performance.

In this episode, we dive into Myles’ journey from rugby injuries to obsessively researching biomechanics, and how his work with Shane transformed his understanding of form. We talked about how poor posture could silently be ruining your HYROX time, why barefoot shoes are a non-negotiable, and the huge role your fascia and nervous system play in efficient running.

We also got into a live video analysis of myself and my friends Lucy Jackson-Jones and Jade Booth (PFRM Coaching), which is packed with value!

Whether you’re chasing a sub-60 or just want to run pain-free, there’s a lot here for you.

Hope you enjoy my conversation with Myles Rawson.
