I’m on a massive self development journey and these podcasts were full of good information and the guys are great to listen too. Informative and hilarious. Going to work my way through the whole list. Cheers dudes 💪

  • Just stop drinking

    No one really wants to hear this but the guys are right - there’s no safe level of drinking and alcohol (which is legal) has no positive effects on anyone’s performance unlike many other recreational substances (some legal some not…).

    Generally enjoyable, the guys (and sometimes gals) are direct and honest. It’s a good listen.

    Footnote : episode 42, pretty sure Prof David Nutt was fired by Alan Johnson not David Cameron. New Labour not conservative….

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

155: Why Men React: The Hidden Lessons We Inherit From Our Fathers : Tonie Leo
Q: What practical steps can you take to reduce reactivity with your child and partner?
They agree on a plan: use breath work and brief meditation to reset, create a car-to-home transition ritual, and implement journaling to build awareness. Tonie also commits to asking open questions and offering hugs to support his son rather than correcting him harshly.
155: Why Men React: The Hidden Lessons We Inherit From Our Fathers : Tonie Leo
Q: How did your upbringing shape your reaction patterns and leadership style today?
Tonie explains the strict, aggressive environment from his Caribbean upbringing and how he absorbed assertiveness and a tendency to react, while also recognizing positive work ethic passed down from his father. The host guides him to see the long arc of influence, not just blame, and to identify adaptive elements he wants to keep.
153: The Hidden Reason You Can’t Put Your Phone Down : Martyn Richards
Q: Is that correct?
Yes, it's a pattern where shame cycles into self-judgment and then into avoidance, which the host reframes as a choice and a target for change rather than an absolute truth.
039: How to Build a Millionaire Mindset : Mike Greene
Q: What does being on your A-Game mean to you?
It's when I've got goals, whether personal or professional, and I'm on that journey. It keeps me driven and keeps me focused.
039: How to Build a Millionaire Mindset : Mike Greene
Q: Are you happy?
Mike mentions that he's always loved what he does and after selling his main business in 2012, he found that balance between work and spending time with family brought him happiness.
