The Modern Mind – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Kori Sampson, Reality TV Star and Fitness Influencer. 

Kori has lived an extremely varied life. Growing up in Plymouth and getting into some bad habits around partying, drinking and drugs, he eventually moved to London to try and carve a new path. He became a star on the well known Netflix show, Too Hot To Handle, but after realising the challenges that come with reality TV, he found himself slipping back into old habits. 

Since leaving the TV world behind, Kori became fully sober and found a love for health and fitness. He has competed in various ultramarathons, including a 220km multistage race in Africa, and now lives his life wanting to inspire more people to get into health and fitness. 

Fergus and Kori discuss many topics, including Kori’s earlier life, the truth of being involved in reality TV, the misconceptions around social media, the many valuable lessons from ultra marathons, the benefits of going sober, and much much more.

Kori also explains his next big challenge 👀

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Tom McClure, Performance Nutritionist and Hybrid Athlete.

Nowadays, social media is full of misleading and inaccurate information, making it very difficult for people to determine what's actually best for them and their nutrition. But, in this episode, Tom cuts through all the bull**** and gives 5 simple nutrition tips that you can implement into your lifestyle to be happier, healthier and more likely to achieve your goals.

Tom has worked with a wide variety of people, ranging from 9-5 office workers, all the way to professional athletes and military personnel. From this wealth of experience, he has gained valuable insight into how small and simple changes can achieve the biggest results, and he's hoping that you can take something useful away from this episode and apply it to your own life.

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Ed Gibbins: co-founder of Rewire Fitness, a fast-growing company that utilises Brain Endurance Training (BET) as part of its system for human performance.

Fergus and Ed explore the fascinating concept of Brain Endurance Training, how it has been applied, and how it can rewire our brains to perceive effort in new ways.

BET sits as one component of Rewire's ecosystem, so we explore the other key metrics, recovery protocols, and the science behind the holistic approach to human performance that Rewire sets out to achieve.

So the question really is, how can we rewire our brains to become more resilient?

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Dr Mike Banna: full-time NHS GP, GP Trainer, Programme Director,  as well as a Director of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. This is alongside his influential online presence, and to quote,  passion for snacks.

Dr Mike (the second) has undergone his own weight loss transformation, which has helped position him uniquely within the fitness industry, given his professional background. Mike can therefore avoid the tribal echo-chamber that can often be generated from within the industry, and has a refined level of empathy for the varied entry points to lifestyle change that mainstream fitness media can often miss.

We discuss what it was like to navigate the pandemic from within the NHS, the importance of micro-dosing suffering, the false dichotomy of hustle culture, why he does NOT consider himself a hero, and much more.
