Ex-client, health coach, and massage therapist, Jamie is my guest this week... and it’s a fascinating life story so far. Beginning in her twenties, Jamie’s initial interest in health, strength training, and nutrition soon escalated into cycles of restriction, fasting, and control. And while you may expect a move into the fitness profession to ease these extremes, the reality was the opposite - The...

On this week’s episode, Gemma and I did a deep dive on the evolution of the fitness industry; from an exercise-only focused environment, to one where the highest level coaches are often doing far more work around nutrition, psychology, and behaviour change than exercise itself. Now a certified nutrition and behaviour change coach, in her late teens Jemma struggled with restrictive eating and body...

I originally wanted Monika on the podcast to talk about personal branding, but the 90-minute deep dive conversation became much bigger than that. We went into Monika’s journey: moving from Poland to the US without speaking English, working as a poorly paid au pair, and stumbling into fitness because she needed an escape from her flatmate… eventually opening a gym, building a 6-figure online coachi...

From PT sessions out of a freezing cold garage in Scotland, Emma now trains and accredits coaches inside organisations like Police Scotland and is a leading UK expert in conversations around menopause in the workplace. In this episode, we cover:- How menopause became a mainstream topic, and what’s driving that shift- Why male audiences are often the most curious and engaged in these conversations-...

The online fitness industry is going through a major transition - largely driven by AI - and most coaches are underestimating how significant that shift will be. Ash argues that the industry is splitting into two clear directions: “trainer-style” services (programs, nutrition plans, data-driven adjustments) and coaching change (human connection, behaviour change, and decision-making support). In h...

From ‘Lone Wolf’ to The Bali Brotherhood: leading men towards connection & growth. In this conversation, Ryan opens up about his early “That Diet Geezer” days and his initial 6-figure coaching success—but as he shares, a lack of authentic voice first stalled his growth and then led to it all falling apart around him. This podcast shows how re-discovering trust, courage, and authentic expressio...

Sara spent years in a stable corporate job before realising she couldn’t see herself doing it long-term. Courageously, Sara decided to retrain as a PT. Others thought her decision "crazy”, a hobby, and that she’d soon "come to her senses". The transition was tough - moving from steady income to uncertainty, the early years were inconsistent and a big shift from office life. Slowly a...

"You’re the author of your own chaos.” Luke Doran opens up about how men at the top often struggle silently, overwhelmed by work, family, and life pressures. He explains how his One Percent framework helps men be present for their kids, make better decisions, and operate intentionally in their lives. Luke shares his journey from the corporate world, to running his own hourly PT business, to d...

After a costly and frustrating visit to a women’s health clinic, Heather Meek sat in her car, crying, unsure where to turn — a moment that inspired her to create a coaching approach that truly supports women 40+ online. What makes Heather’s story even more compelling is that she was already an award-winning personal trainer, yet even with all her expertise, she still felt lost, confused, and alone...

Matt shares his personal journey of choosing responsibility over comfort — a shift that changed how he sees himself as a man, leader, future family man, and coach. This episode is also personal for us, as Matt and I first met in Moscow during the 2018 World Cup. From there, we explore father absence, modern masculinity, self-awareness, behavioural change, and the importance of intentional growth....

In this episode, I sit down with Rena Cohen to explore her journey from hospital registered dietitian and working in a neonatal hospital unit to founder of The Sanctuary™ — a behaviour-focused coaching space for Jewish women. We went deep on her business, niche, why working with Jewish women has revealed patterns around food, identity and generational history, and how building a culturally specifi...

In this episode, I sit down with an ADHD expert, Coach and business owner Jack to unpack what it actually feels like to build a business with an ADHD brain. We talk about the early years where chaos can feel like a superpower... fast ideas, big energy, creative bursts… and the moment that same wiring becomes the ceiling which will always hold you back. We explore the difference between interest-dr...
