This last week Ive had 2 different conversations with 2 good friends around success. Success in business, life and training.  The converstaion has revolved around the the last two years and how testing it has been.  The big take away, is nothing is linear.  It ebbs and flows but if something is taking a short dip do you change what has been working? and if not, how long do you give...

So Ive had a few calls/conversations with people over the last few weeks regarding our training programs, so I thought Id jump on the podcast and do an episode going through what we offer, why its different to a lot of other things out there and why specifically it works for busy parents.  If you want to get on board you can send a message through the socials listed below.  We also have...

What ever you do to get you ground and allow you...

So Im all for positive motivation and inspiration. Sometimes though you need to use the doubt as fuel. Ive seen a lot of very cool underdog stories rise to the top over the last few months there is one thing that Ive noticed they all have in common.

Today marks a year since I recieved my Purple belt in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. The achievement meant a lot to me, those who have trained Jiu Jitsu will understand.  Jiu Jitsu has taught me a lot of lessons that have filtered into many other aspects of my life, but probably one of the biggest lessons is what the long game actually is.  This week I talk about what it has taught me about the l...

Long term consistency trumps short term intensity.  A pretty common converstaion Ive had with people in the past is "I did (insert x challenge here) and got great results but I couldnt keep going afterwards."  Ive been caught in the trap of thinking I need a "challenge" to kick start different changes Ive made too.  Turns out, this was the wrong way to go about it. If youve struggle...

Trying to reclaim that old level of fitness or athleticism is a really common goal for a lot of Dads.  It can also be super frustrating if you are trying but not getting there, its something that I talk to a lot of people about.  Trying to get back to a certain point, with an old plan only to fall short and get frustrated with the whole process.  Understanding the difference between...

Have a listen and let me know i...

If things are too complex it will more than often get put in the too hard basket.  Or youll grit trhough it in a way where it effect everything else you do.  This is pretty common when trying to get back into training, trying to implement complicated plans that used to work can be a major issue. Causing us to believe we dont have "time" Keep it simple and manageable then take action on t...

Ever told yourself that when I get (insert any criteria here) Ill do (some action that I want/need to take.)? Because I have and I heard a lot of others that have too.  The problem becomes that said criteria is mostly never satisified and time passes anyway.  Sometimes you just need to take the jump and work it out later. This week I chat about this concept, and why waiting in a lot of i...

Do you want to be right or do you want to be coached?  Something I see a lot and also have been guilty of is letting my ego get in the way of change, its hard to change habits and behaiviours but if you feel like you are getting nowhere, maybe change is required. Recently I realised that I needed to shift my perspective on some things. Have a listen and let me know if you see this in your lif...

Ive been thinking about this pretty deeply the last few weeks and in this episode I go through some thoughts and things I tell myself so that I can be more present and enjoy each moment more. Let me know...

Strive for progress not perfection.  This is an old saying that can ring true for a lot of people, especially if trying to implement change. Sometimes the pursuit of perfection can be paralizing if we dont get there, causing us to freeze and not do what we can.  This episode I talk about I talk about a conversation I recently had with someone, which got me thinking that a few people may...

Hope you enjoy let me know your thoughts on the topic. L...

Its not a problem until it is.  Most change for people wont happen until it becomes a REAL problem. Change is a spectrum and for a lot of people you need to be on the end of the spectrum in order to take action. Ive been guilty of it in te past, waiting until it becomes a big problem can and will cost you more.  Taking action earlier can make the change needed less extreme. Have a listen...
