In this episode, I explore why training your mind is one of the most powerful things you can ever do for your happiness, performance, and longevity.
And I explain why removing alcohol is often the single greatest first step in that journey.

If you want to spend more time living in what I call a “friendly universe” instead of a hostile one, this conversation will give you a powerful new way of thinking about your mind.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:
• Why life, sport, and business are mostly mind games
• The simple rhyme that explains success: train your mind or get left behind
• Why alcohol keeps your brain operating in “minus numbers”
• The hidden performance advantage of living alcohol-free
• Why elite performers rarely drink alcohol
• How alcohol disrupts sleep, recovery, and mental clarity
• The surprising research linking optimism to longer life
• Why most adults never experience a fully recovered brain
• How training your mind changes how you experience the world
• A simple daily practice to start training your mind today

I recently heard a quote that stopped me in my tracks:

“If you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy?”

In this episode, I wrestle with that question.

I unpack the famous parable of the fisherman and the CEO, explore the Western obsession with more, and dive into why so many intelligent, capable, successful people are still quietly unhappy.

And I share why I believe alcohol plays a much bigger role in that unhappiness than most of us are willing to admit.

If you care about inner peace, outer success, and building a life that actually feels good to live, this one is for you.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

• The deeper meaning behind “If you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy?”
• The powerful lesson in the fisherman and CEO parable
• Why chasing more does not automatically create fulfillment
• The difference between outer success and inner joy
• How alcohol subtly erodes happiness
• Why we outsource joy to the wrong things
• The hidden anxiety and mental noise alcohol creates
• How removing alcohol restores clarity and ambition
• Why self-development becomes easier alcohol free
• The foundation for building a life of real peace and progress

Keep rocking it dry.

In this episode, I walk you through how to set goals that actually work. Not the kind you rewrite every January, but the kind that genuinely transforms your life.

For years, I wrote the same goals over and over again and wondered why nothing ever changed. The missing pieces were consistency, clarity, and removing the one thing that was quietly sabotaging my momentum. 

This conversation is about thinking bigger, training your brain properly, and creating the conditions where your goals stop feeling like wishful thinking and start becoming inevitable.

If you want 2026 to be your best year yet, this episode is your starting point.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why most goals fail before February
• How alcohol destroys consistency and momentum
• Why big goals train your brain differently
• What Big Hairy Audacious Goals really are
• How your brain filters opportunities
• Why emotional connection to goals is essential
• How to stop repeating the same goals every year

In this episode, I share the extraordinary story of Neil Rutherford. A man who went from chronic illness, burnout, and quiet despair to reclaiming his health, identity, and purpose through lifestyle medicine and living alcohol free.

Neil’s journey is not about willpower. It is about removing the one variable that was quietly sabotaging everything else. Alcohol. What followed was not just weight loss or better blood results, but a complete shift in how he lives, leads, and shows up for his family and the world.

This conversation is living proof that the body wants to heal when you stop breaking it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why alcohol is the most overlooked lifestyle medicine variable
• How removing alcohol accelerates every other health intervention
• The link between drinking, inflammation, anxiety, and chronic illness
• Why confidence without alcohol becomes internal and sustainable
• How identity shifts after health transformation
• Why lifestyle change beats medication alone
• The ripple effect of one person choosing an alcohol free life
• How purpose often emerges after healing
• Why men struggle in silence and how coaching changes that
• What freedom actually feels like on the other side

How food influences your mental health 

The difference between 99% & 100% is massive!

Why behavioural change is SO hard

Should I moderate alcohol or not? 

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Mudie to talk about one of the most powerful stories I have ever been part of. Mike went from achieving the biggest professional success of his life straight into complete physical collapse. His body shut down. He could not walk. He could not lift a fork. And no one in traditional medicine could explain why.

What followed was a six-month healing journey into holistic health, nature-based medicine, and reconnection with the body. That journey led to something extraordinary. Together, we explore how his burnout became the birth of Authentic Brew, a functional wellness drink powered by mushrooms, botanicals, and pure Mother Nature.

This conversation is about more than business. It is about listening to your body, understanding burnout, the power of nature, and why sometimes life has to break you before it rebuilds you.

What You Will Learn in This Episode:

• What burnout really looks like when your body completely shuts down
• Why traditional medicine sometimes misses the root cause
• How nature and holistic healing helped Mike recover his health
• Why disconnection from nature is making so many people unwell
• The real story behind the creation of Authentic Brew
• Why most so-called energy and health drinks are misleading
• How functional wellness can replace stimulants and alcohol
• Why your darkest moment can become your biggest mission
• How we are using business to rewild people and places

In this episode, I sit down with Claire MacAskill, someone I have known for many years and watched grow in courage, confidence, and self-belief. Claire has been alcohol-free for seven years, and in that time she has transformed her health, her mindset, and her entire life. From struggling with weekend drinking to becoming a world-class marathon runner in her fifties, her story is one of resilience, consistency, and pure inspiration.

We talk about everything from her early days as a grey-area drinker, to the moment she decided she wanted more from life, to running marathons around the world and qualifying for global championships. Claire’s honesty, vulnerability, and strength shine through every moment of this conversation. If you are looking for proof that life gets bigger, brighter, and more meaningful without alcohol, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How Claire went from weekend drinking to seven years alcohol-free
• Why removing alcohol unlocked her best fitness, mindset, and confidence
• How she became fitter and faster in her fifties than in her twenties
• The truth about heart rate, recovery, and how alcohol affects performance
• Why anxiety often disappears when alcohol disappears
• The mindset shift that turned running into her new pub and her new tribe
• How self-development and authenticity became central to her alcohol-free life
• Why is it never too late to step into your full potential
