The Mind-Gains Podcast

During this episode I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a man who has achieved something nothing short of incredible. After his Dad passed away, Archie decided to undergo a task in his memory and raise an incredible amount of money for The Brain Charity. What he achieved was out of this world.  He ran between all TWENTY premier league stadiums, which amassed 830+ miles clocked in tota...

This episode, I sat down with undefeated MMA prospect, and Aspinall BJJ purple belt, Zac Fagan. Following on from his emphatic victory at FCC41 by the way of rear naked choke, to extend his undefeated record to 3-0-0! We spoke about how the fight went, how he started, what’s next, and future goals. (As well as some TASTY questions and UFC after-party stories) A great chinwag, with plenty of laughs...

During this episode I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a man, with a very powerful message, Sam Shepherd. Sam opens up about his battles with addiction, relapsing and losing his Dad. As well as speaking about tools and groups that can help battle addiction and get people on the right track. (Break-Free who are based in Liverpool for anybody this may apply to) During this episode I le...

Today I had the absolute PLEASURE of sitting with Everton + England amputee footballer, Liam Burbridge! We took a HUGE deep dive into his personal life, losing his leg, and his overnight rise to playing for England due to a TikTok video. Not only that, but we spoke on a topic that is VERY hard to believe, the fact that Amputee Football in the UK isn’t funded. Yet in other countries such as Poland...

Today I had the PLEASURE of enjoying this fella’s company! I’ve been trying to get Jonny on the Pod for a WHILE now, he was one of the first people I ever asked to get on over a year ago… Turns out it was something he felt very nervous about doing, and in his typical fashion, he conquered that fear and delivered on his promise to be a guest. We discuss everything from what Jiu-Jitsu has taught him...

We’re back! And we are back with a BANGER of an episode courtesy of @jjsices - the biggest ice cream influencer going! I’ve been fortunate enough to see this rise from the very start, and I won’t lie I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere near as stratospheric as it has been… And neither was he!  So if you want the inside scoop (see what I did there?!) - this is going to be a belter of a listen for...

What a way to wrap up what has been a very good year, talking a load of nonsense with some good friends! Controversial shouts, laughs and deciding whether you have Yorkshire puddings on a Christmas dinner? Absolutely no structure to this, just pure comedy. Enjoy! Thanks for watching! Contact me on Instagram @jamieclarke_pt or on my email jamieclarkept@gmail.com Any thoughts on the episodes, or gue...

Where do I even begin with this? 10 marathons in 10 days. 10K raised for charity. Oslo Marathon in the bag. The accolades themselves are seriously impressive, however, there is much more to this episode than just running accomplishments. Take a deep dive into the mindset of a man who has dragged himself up from the depths of a dark place, to go on and conquer some incredible feats. It’s real, rela...

Today’s episode features a good mate of mine and by all accounts, a big success story, Mike Garner. Having known Mike for over 10 years, I’ve seen him ascend from regular employment to owning a massively successful gym. Looking to expand internationally as well as having UFC fighters and big time names training out of Evolution Fitness XL. However, there’s more to the story. Dealing with suicide,...

First things first, I absolutely loved shooting this episode. Massive thank you and congratulations to Matt for coming on to speak about these hard hitting topics!

Well here we are again!  Me and Lucy couldn’t wrap everything up in the first part so here we are giving it a second blast! We got a LOT more out of this one, and actually managed to wrap up the topics we had planned… As Lucy managed to bring her Spidergram of notes with her this time! Definitely some juicy topics in here for you to sink your teeth into! Thanks for watching! Contact me on Instagra...

Part one of a double header courtesy of me and Lucy. Absolutely loved shooting these episodes, despite the clownery at the beginning, there’s a lot to these episodes. Having seen Lucy struggle with events in her life almost firsthand, seeing her thrive these days is remarkable. That is why this episode is so great, and it’s so important to hear somebody come from being almost down and out, to succ...

The man behind the camera became the man in FRONT of the camera for this episode! Chris AKA my videographer who records my podcasts, has a great story of his own. From sleeping in the gym due to not being able to afford petrol money home, to being the owner of many thriving businesses! We spoke about a lot today from what makes a good coach, to what is the cost of being happy. Thoroughly enjoyed s...

Today’s guest is a great friend of mine, Steven Phillips, or as a lot of us know him, Ste Physique. I’ve watched Ste transform himself from a down and out coach, into a successful online coach and business mentor in just a few years. As well as competing multiple times and also winning a competition throughout this whole process too. During this episode we discussed what it takes to move yourself...

Today’s episode was shaped by questions that got asked by YOU, the listeners to this podcast. Firstly, thank you very much for taking the time to get some fantastic questions across for me to answer. It helped create an episode with a LOT of value to be taken away. Secondly, massive thank you to El who hosted the episode and acted as the questions master. It was nice not to be the host for a chang...

Today’s guest is somebody who I was EXTREMELY excited to get onto the podcast. Ant Walker is a professional rugby league player who plays for Widnes Vikings, and represents his country of Wales at international level. As if those feats alone aren’t enough, he overcame a brain related injury that forced him to retire in 2017, and he returned to the pitch in 2022. I was fascinated during this episod...

Emergency podcast inbound! In light of some very serious changes in my personal life, I thought it would be great to get on another podcast and explain exactly WHAT has been going on in my life. The last 5 and a half years have been the most stressful I’ve ever encountered behind the scenes, and as of February 28th 2023… All of that came to a close. Finally. It’s now time to move onto the next cha...

Hello and welcome to the fourth episode of The Mind-Gains Podcast. My name is Jamie Clarke. For today’s episode I had the pleasure of being joined by a long-time client of mine, and now friend, Harry Sutcliffe. Me and Harry have been working together for almost two years now. During that time I have watched him transform from an out-of-shape, under-confident lad, into a goal-achieving, progress ma...

Welcome to the third episode of the Mind-Gains Podcast. My name is Jamie Clarke. I am thrilled to have had Rob Witter on today’s episode giving us an insight into his story. I have been Rob’s coach for just over two years now and I’ve definitely seen the highs, and the lows this young man has endured. The journey he has been on over the last couple of years is nothing short of staggering. From los...
