  • Ageist Guest WTH?

    I am a doctor and I work with primary care doctors across the age spectrum. The idea that a doctor over 40 will not be open, up to date, able to treat addiction or provide a level of care that doctors under 40 can is not my experience. Furthermore, for your guest to assert that is highly inappropriate and AGEIST.

    I see that doctors have unique practice habits that may be more linked to their personalities or other factors, but age doesn't seem to be the deciding factor.

  • Finally

    Having listened to dozens of sobriety advocates I’m pleased to finally find one that hasn’t come from a background of totally caning it! I honestly think most of these people are missing the point that most of us DON’T drink like they clearly used to. I’ve been drinking c. 2-4 units a week. James is the first one to make me genuinely consider the case for sobriety over and above low-level drinking because he describes how drinking at this level was making him feel below par and I recognise what ... more

  • Great podcast but …

    Very moths ting and insightful. I think people though don’t realize how they make themselves look unintelligent when they use the foul language in an interview as if they cannot articulate themselves otherwise. Just saying…it takes away from the quality of the interview

Anchoring Your Freedom: The Neuroscience of Morning and Evening Routines With Coach Matt
Q: Did your morning feel organized or chaotic, and what would you suggest listeners change first to gain more control?
The host and guest emphasize reducing early-day distractions, establishing a predictable routine, and building in a small journaling or mindfulness habit to anchor the day before reacting to emails or news.
Anchoring Your Freedom: The Neuroscience of Morning and Evening Routines With Coach Matt
Q: When you think about your morning today, did you feel like you were in control or reacting to chaos?
Coach Matt explains that control comes from not letting devices dictate the start of the day and from having intentional, minimal prompts that set the day up—like where the phone is placed and what you do first thing.
Title: Resilience and Real-Life ROI: Laura's 13-Month Alcohol-Free Milestone With Coach Matt
Q: What advice would you give to someone considering this journey?

From Tradie to Seven-Figure Mentor: Building Business Foundations That Last With James Swanwick
Q: Describe that transition from operating from pain to operating from joy.
The shift came after recognizing that performance-driven motivation could be exhausting and unsustainable. By stepping back, seeking mentorship, and building a framework around faith, fitness, finances, and flow, I regained balance and reconnected with a longer-term North Star, enabling me to think more strategically and lead with joy rather than constant urgency.
