Most people never start because they're terrified of being bad at something new. But staying stuck doing only what you're already good at? That's the fast track to burnout. This week's podcast is about why being willing to be absolutely shit at something might be the most important skill you never learned.
The Savage Protocol - Why I'm Starting Over
Discipline slipped. Took a week away to get clear. Starting 120 days of brutal discipline on Monday.
This episode covers why I'm doing this, what I learned during my week of reflection, and the one truth that changed everything: "You can never go back."
Not polished. Not easy. Just real transformation, documented publicly.

We all get emotional. Someone winds you up. Something doesn't go your way, and you experience loss. And suddenly you're angry, frustrated, or just gutted.
That's normal. You're human.
But here's where it goes wrong: we either bottle it up and pretend we're fine, or we let it consume us. Neither works.
In this episode, I'm sharing six practical steps to handle your emotions without ending up drained, stuck, or burnt out. No toxic positivity. No "just get over it" nonsense. Just honest advice for dealing with emotions in a healthy way.
Because feeling them is fine. Letting them run your life isn't.
Every time you break a small promise to yourself, you're normalising quitting. But it works both ways - keep small promises, build momentum.
In this episode, I share the floor and ceiling framework for sustainable progress without burnout, why discipline actually sets you free, and a 7-day challenge to prove you can keep a promise to yourself.
Stop putting it off. There is no tomorrow.
We all claim we want to get better—fitter, richer, more successful. But when push comes to shove, we choose easier every single time. And that's why nothing ever changes. GB explores why we keep making the same mistakes year after year, insisting we "know what's best" whilst our lives prove otherwise. If you're ready to stop lying to yourself and actually do the work that leads to real change, this one's for you.
In a world that pushes speed and instant results, we've forgotten the power of slowing down. But the best decisions—the ones that truly transform your life and work—come from a different place entirely.
In this episode, we explore how patience and intuition work together to create breakthrough moments that rushing simply can't deliver. You'll discover why your gut instinct needs time to speak, how to distinguish between fear and genuine intuition.
Feeling disconnected and unfulfilled? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore the three fundamental connections that determine whether you thrive or just survive: your bond with nature, with others, and with yourself. When these connections weaken, life loses its color and joy. But when you strengthen them, everything changes. Discover the simple shifts that can transform your daily experience from empty to extraordinary.

Only a short episode this week. But it came from a question from a listener about motivation when life gets hard, and I don't need long to answer it. Hope it helps (you know who you are).
