S2E15: Mike Bates - Pain, Performance and Letting Go

In this episode, Mike shares how childhood trauma shaped his mindset, relationships and sense of identity, and what it took to finally let go of performance and prove nothing to no one. We talk about the rope climb that changed his life, the cost of people-pleasing, and how Brazilian jiu-...

Wigan Warriors rugby league star and former Leeds Rhinos captain Kruise Leeming joins me for an honest, powerful conversation about leadership, loss, identity, and emotional growth. At just eight years old, Kruise lost his dad and was immediately told he was now “the man of the house.” That moment shaped everything: his drive, his discipline, and his approach to sport and leadership. But as he opens up here, it also left scars. We explore: The pressure of early responsibilityThe cost of perfo...

S2E9: Shaun Edwards - The Kind Warrior
Fresh off France’s Six Nations win, I sat down with my old mate Shaun Edwards for a rare, wide-ranging conversation. This isn’t just an interview — it’s two lads from Wigan catching up after decades walking very different, but strangely parallel paths. Both of us came up through rugby, through hard graft and old-school values. But over time, we’ve both had to evolve. As coaches. As leaders. As men. We talked about it all, from the early days and the systems that changed the game, to fear, f...

S2E7: Martin Bone - Why Men Must Learn To Move
Movement is more than just physical. It’s emotional. Energetic. Transformational. In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and co-facilitator of the ICONIC program, Martin Bone. We explore the deeper meaning of movement and dance, not as performance, but as a powerful doorway back into the body. For many men, especially those raised in the UK and Ireland, movement became linear - lifting weights, pushing harder, always doing. But in that, freedom, expression, and spontaneity got lost. ...

S2E6: Scott Ford - The Secret to Playing in the Zone
Athletes talk about it like it’s magic. That moment when everything slows down, the game feels effortless, and they’re completely in the zone. But what if flow state wasn’t random? What if you could access it on demand? I sit down with Scott Ford—author, coach, and a pioneer in non-dual awareness in sport. He’s spent over 40 years teaching athletes how to enter and sustain flow states intentionally, rather than just hoping it happens. What is Flow State in Sport? Why athletes describe bein...

S2E5: Mark Walsh - Why Men Need to Get Out of Their Heads
Most men spend their lives in their heads: overthinking, overanalysing, and second-guessing. But true leadership, confidence, and resilience don’t start in the mind, they start in the body. In this episode, I sit down with Mark Walsh, one of the world’s leading embodiment coaches, to explore why so many men feel disconnected from their power and how reconnecting with the body can transform how they lead, train, and show up in the world. This isn’t just theory. Mark has worked with elite profe...
