Live Train Perform

In this follow up episode from last weeks chat with @the.brain.guy Scott Robinson, I share some tools from one of the modules in my NLP Master Practitioner Course. During conversations, most of us fixate on words . What does this person mean and what shall I say in return?   It’s been long established that words are the least meaningful aspect of communication, conveying just 7% of meaning (Mehrab...

I met Scott Robinson a few years ago whilst I was on an Applied Movement Neurology Mastermind retreat in Thailand, and was absolutely blown away with his knowledge and approach to understanding neurobiology. His ability to explain complex topics in a manner that made sense to me was one of the many reasons I had to get him on the podcast! This is one of the reasons his IG has blown up over the las...

I've learned so many amazing principles and skills from my time as a soldier, and as a coach in the fitness industry, that are relevant and transferable to all aspects of life.

In this episode, I dive a lot deeper into what those principles are, how they relate to my coaching...

Last week I spoke with Nic Edgerton  about the principles and protocols he uses with his physique athletes, and something he said piqued my interest, and that is, "I tell my guys to live 90% in the process, and 10% in the outcome." In this episode, I dive a little deeper into this subject, and give some actionable examples of how to use the OODA loop set up your routine to ensure that yo...

Nic has a global reach, and has coached hundreds of transformations worldwide, along with over a hundred top three placings of his athletes in numerous bodybuilding and physique competitions in sea...

 "Wait until you're my age, you'll understand what I'm talking about." Everyone has heard this uttered to them by many different people, multiple times over the years. I can't recall how many times I've heard this...yet, I'm the one saying it now. As we age, we are accumulating more and more dysfunctional patterns and muscular imbalances. The less time we sp...

I have been accused of being a baby killer. I have been called a puppet of my Government sent to invade another country and do the dirty work on the ground.  I've been assured that the work that my teams and I did was a waste of time and that the lives we lost was karma for being in another country. The list of accusations and verbal abuse and simple ignorance goes on and on...however I don&a...

Wes Masters was awarded the Military Cross by Her Majesty The Queen for his actions on the battlefield in Afghanistan on the 4th of July 2013. Wes ran hundreds of metres across dangerous ground surrounded by Taliban firing points, carrying heavy equipment, in stifling heat to tend to his comrade who had taken a shot in the throat from a Taliban sharp-shooter.  His actions kept the wounded soldier...

I met Leo Tyson of Tyson Transformations many years ago in Phuket, Thailand, when he came onboard as one of my interns at Tiger Muay Thai. In the years since, I've interacted with him numerous times, and have always been impressed by his knowledge and application of principle-based coaching. One area where Leo stands out in my network of coaches, is his ability to break down and explain in si...

In this episode, I answer a question from a listener on what I did/do to protect my mental health. Journaling is a big part of the process for me, because it allows me to practice gratitude and appreciation as I reflect on the past, as well as being the first action step to setting a vision, and subsequent action steps on the path into the future. I reference a number of other podcast episodes and...

I launched this podcast because I wanted to to cut through the bullshit that unfortunately pervades the industry I love so much. The fitness industry has been hijacked by people who are taking advantage of people's insecurities and fears, with promises of getting you the results you want, with very little energy or effort required. Attaining results short term shows that you're motivated...
