Men, Mindset & Mission

Health EN ↓ 600 episodes

Most men are not failing. They are drifting. Men, Mindset & Mission is the podcast for high-performing men who are done with just getting by — men in business, men who are fathers, men who know they are capable of more but can't figure out why they feel stuck. Hosted by James Boardman, former Royal Marine, entrepreneur, and men's performance coach, each episode is raw, honest, and built around one goal: helping you stop existing and start living. No scripts just real conversations about mindset, identity, purpose, and what it actually takes to operate at your highest level across every area of...

What Did You Get for Your Time in January 02.02.2026

January has gone quicker than most people expected. And before rushing headfirst into the rest of the year, there is a question worth asking. What did you actually get for your time? In this episode, I walk through a simple but powerful January audit. Not to judge yourself. Not to beat yourself up. But to honestly assess where your time went, what it gave you back, and where you might be leaking e...

Ten Years Back or One Million Pounds 27.01.2026

This episode started with a simple question and ended in tears. If you could have the last ten years of your life back, knowing what you know now, or take one million pounds today, which would you choose? What followed was an honest reflection on identity, grief, ambition, family, and the quiet cost of chasing the wrong things for too long. This is not a motivational episode. It is a personal reck...

Why 95% of men fail to show up 22.01.2026

This episode is a raw training session pulled directly from inside Mission 365. No theory. No motivation talk. Just the truth about why most men start strong, lose momentum, and quietly slip back into old patterns right before things begin to change. We break down the real reasons men quit, stall, or negotiate their standards, even when they know better. This is about identity, self leadership, an...

A Father and Son Talk About Identity, Pressure, and Becoming a Man 19.01.2026

This episode is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation between a father and his 18 year old son. There is no script. No performance. Just two men sitting down to talk about growing up, identity, pressure, mental health, and what it actually feels like to be a young man today. We talk openly about comparison, confidence, social media pressure, fear of being left behind, relationships, ADHD, s...

Strength Is Learning When to Stop Forcing 14.01.2026

In this episode, I share a real shift in my personal development and identity as a man. For years, my growth was driven by extreme physical challenges. Long miles. Hard races. Constant pressure. Always pushing. Always proving. But through therapy, reflection, and honest self assessment, I realised something important. I do not want more chaos. I want a simple, calm, and peaceful life. This episode...

The Father Your Kids Will Remember 13.01.2026

This episode is a direct conversation about presence. Not being in the house. Not being in the room. Actually being present. I share honest reflections on fatherhood, the moments I got wrong, the moments that still hurt to think about, and what therapy has taught me about attention, listening, and emotional availability. This is not about guilt. It is about awareness. Because the moments you postp...

Therapy is kicking my arse 07.01.2026

In this episode, I share a real update on my therapy journey and why I almost did not record this one. I talk about the emotional pain that has come up over Christmas, the unexpected moments where it hits me out of nowhere, and what it is revealing about my past, my beliefs, and the way I have been wired for years. I open up about grief, security, self worth, and the hidden patterns that can sit u...

Why Men Stay Stuck And How To Break The Cycle 05.01.2026

In this episode, I sit down with Jon my Ops manager for a raw and honest conversation about men's behaviour, patterns, and the hidden reasons so many capable men stay stuck for years. John shares his journey from being overweight, signed off work, numbing life with bad habits, and feeling completely lost, to rebuilding his health, identity, and family life through structure, consistency, and self...

Win the day DON'T be weak 🥵 04.01.2026

This episode is a call to leadership on one of the most chaotic days of the year. After two weeks away from routine, pressure hits fast. Problems stack up. Emotions rise. Most men react the same way they always have. This training is about doing something different. I break down four core principles to help you reclaim control, regain clarity, and operate at the level you know you are capable of....

Do Not Waste This Week 30.12.2025

Join our 5 Day Mission Reset - 12th Jan CLICK HERE to register  This episode focuses on the strange in between period after Christmas and before the New Year truly begins. It is the week where most men drift, stay reactive and wait for motivation to return. I break down how to use this time intentionally so you build momentum rather than lose it. Using the five pillars as a guide, I share how to r...

Values Before Vision How To Build A Life That Actually Aligns 21.12.2025

This episode continues the preparation for 2026 by focusing on the missing piece most men never slow down enough to define. Their values. We explore why vision without values leads to frustration, misalignment and burnout, and why values are the operating rules that quietly shape every decision you make. I share how my own values have evolved over time, why building a business around your life rat...

Go on a date with yourself, 2026 Beat Up 16.12.2025

This episode is the starting point for preparing for 2026 in the right way. Not with pressure, targets or false certainty, but with clarity. I share why clarity is the foundation for peace of mind, why a lack of it creates anxiety and restlessness, and why many high performing men struggle to feel settled even when life looks successful on the outside. I also speak openly about starting therapy, w...

Building Success From Home The Christmas Blueprint Most Men Never Use 15.12.2025

This episode is about protecting what actually matters. It is about ensuring that Christmas does not quietly become another period of distraction, half work and emotional absence. Too many men drift through the festive period with one eye on their phone, one eye on work and neither fully present with their family. This training is designed to stop that. I walk you through a simple but powerful sys...

I started therapy 11.12.2025

In this episode I open up about something I have avoided for years. I share the real story behind why I decided to go to therapy, what finally pushed me through the door and why the first session hit me harder than I expected. For a long time I convinced myself that I could handle everything alone. I believed that because I coached men, mentored men and helped men navigate their own chaos, I shoul...

Black Belt Thinking How To Stay Consistent Until The Mission Is Done 04.12.2025

This episode dives into one of the most important truths about growth and leadership. You do not need to be the most talented man in the room. You just need to be the one who keeps turning up. I use the journey through Brazilian jiu jitsu, from white belt to black belt, as a living example of what it really takes to build a mission, stay consistent and become the man you are supposed to be. From w...

Avoid acting like a Cu*t Through Curveballs 02.12.2025

Curveballs are guaranteed, in business, in life, in leadership. The question is not if they'll come, but how you'll respond when they do. In this episode, I share a raw and practical reflection on how to emotionally regulate when chaos hits. Whether it's a sudden problem in your business, a challenge at home, or a personal ambush that catches you off guard, this episode breaks down the system I no...

You're Not Weak. You're Untrained, Here's How to Fix It 25.11.2025

There is a lot of noise online about men being weak, soft or unable to cope with the pressure of modern life. Most of that noise is criticism without guidance. This episode flips that on its head. It is not about blaming men. It is about showing you the path to becoming stronger in your body, your mind and your identity. Real resilience does not appear out of nowhere. It is trained. It is earned....

Building the most important mission 21.11.2025

This episode goes straight to the foundation of everything you are trying to build in your life. It is a reminder that your health is not a side project or an optional extra. It is the engine that drives every pillar of your mission. When your health drops, everything else follows. When your health rises, everything in your life gains clarity, stability and strength. Inside this episode, we explor...

Remembering the Mission The Reset Most Men Do Not Realise They Need 17.11.2025

This episode brings us back to the one thing that determines the quality of your life, your leadership and your direction. It brings us back to the mission. Most men drift because they lose connection to the deeper reason for why they are doing any of this. The goals become noise. The routines feel mechanical. The work becomes something you manage rather than something you lead. This conversation...

The Real Value of Personal Development 12.11.2025

Recorded high in the French Alps, just outside Chamonix, this episode is a reflection on why personal development matters, not as a luxury, but as a necessity. I talk about what it really means to keep growing as a man, a father, and a business owner, to keep evolving, learning, and investing in yourself when most people choose comfort. Inside this episode: The truth about why most men fail to gro...

The Three E's to Realignment 10.11.2025

These three stages are the foundation for growth, consistency, and becoming the man capable of holding the life, business, and relationships you say you want. In this episode, I break down...

Eight Rules for Winning in Life and Business 05.11.2025

Success isn't complicated, but most men make it that way. In this episode, I share eight of the most powerful lessons I've learned over the last decade of coaching business owners, leaders, and men who are serious about raising their game. These are the principles that separate those who talk about success from those who actually build it. From doing what you said you would do to leading from the...

Breaking The Cycle 03.11.2025

This episode was recorded right in the heart of London — walking through Leicester Square, surrounded by the noise, the chaos, and the reality of life happening all around. It is a raw reflection on comfort zones, identity, and what it truly takes to grow. I talk about the lessons that come from saying yes when everything in you wants to say no, the power of keeping promises to yourself, and how s...

Recorded straight from the streets of London — this episode captures the raw energy of stepping outside your comfort zone.
