Safe Harbour – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Jamie Robins is joined by James Sutton, actor, and founder of Protocol, for one of the most honest conversations on Safe Harbour yet. A raw, grounded discussion about identity, work, addiction recovery, masculinity, self-trust, and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself when the thing that defined you is gone.

James Sutton spent over 20 years in some of the UK's most recognised TV dramas Hollyoaks, Emmerdale, Casualty, Holby City, Doctors, and Trial and Retribution. Behind that career was a man quietly working out who he really was. Getting off drugs and alcohol. Building real structure. Learning to trust himself again. He now runs Protocol, a reset system for men built on lived experience, not theory.

Jamie opens up too. Sitting at the end of the bed crying every winter, trapped in a career he hated. Falling through his front door on his hands and knees after a week-long retreat saying "I don't know who I am anymore." And what it actually took to finally make the leap.

In this episode of Safe Harbour, Jamie and James explore identity, purpose, male mental health, addiction, masculinity, self-trust, dopamine, loneliness, working class roots, and why the old blueprint for being a man is quietly failing so many of us.

In this episode, Jamie and James talk about:

• James Sutton and the story behind Protocol
• Twenty years in UK TV drama and who he was behind the scenes
• Getting off drugs and alcohol and building real structure
• Why so many men outsource their entire sense of value to a job
• What happens when that job disappears
• The old blueprint for masculinity and why it's failing men
• Male suicide, what's really driving it and what men actually need
• The wrong order most men try to do it in
• Self-trust as a foundation, and how breaking small promises compounds
• Protocol: what it is, how it works, and why it's post-self-help
• Why motivation is transient and what to build instead
• The dopamine problem and what social media is quietly doing to men
• No male rite of passage: what young men are missing and what it's costing them

Jamie Robins is joined by Johno Verity, creator of Dawn of History and known online as the Pink Hat Guy, for a powerful and funny conversation about London cycling, viral storytelling, turning 50, getting older, fatherhood, enoughness and what it means to live life on your own terms.

Johno has built a huge online following by cycling through London at dawn in his pink hat, sharing stories about London history, hidden places, buildings, people and the strange magic of being awake while the city is still quiet.

In this episode of Safe Harbour, Jamie and Johno explore much more than social media. They talk about midlife, masculinity, mental health, status, money, comparison, phones, getting outside, the two-day rule, and why so many men reach their forties and fifties realising they may have been chasing the wrong version of success.

This is a conversation about London, history and cycling, but it is also about getting older, finding enough, choosing freedom, and asking what really matters in the next chapter of life.
