Ever find yourself endlessly postponing those nagging tasks no matter how productive you try to be? Trust me, you’re not alone—I struggle with procrastination just like everyone else. In this episode, I share my simple yet game-changing hack: Banishing Procrastination Days. I talk about how I schedule focused days for tackling the essential (and sometimes dreaded) jobs I can’t outsource or delegate, and why this method keeps me on top of life’s most persistent to-dos. If you’re ready to break the cycle and want practical advice on clearing that ever-growing task list, this episode is for you.
Tune in as I explain how these dedicated days work, why they're so effective, and how you can implement them to stay organised, productive, and guilt-free—even if you’re a master at finding reasons to delay. Let’s finally banish procrastination together!

Today, I reflect on the challenging differences between parenting children and managing a team in a business setting. While both roles involve guidance and support, the approaches required are vastly different. I share my experience using a feedback framework in business—from asking permission to addressing outcomes and suggestions for improvement—and contrast this with the unpredictable logic and emotion when dealing with children, especially younger ones. Whether you’re a parent, manager or both, you’ll find relatable insights on how communication, timing, and emotional intelligence play out in these two essential roles. Plus, I’m always open to new ideas—so get in touch if you have thoughts or tips to share!

In today's episode, I dive deep into the importance of social acceptance and why so many of us crave it—from teenagers to adults. Sharing my personal perspective as a parent, I discuss how I see my own children wrestling with the desire to fit in, adapting their behaviour to match what they think their peers expect. How social media amplifies these pressures with its often unrealistic portrayals of life.
I reflect on how this yearning doesn't really disappear with age; in fact, many adults still seek approval and validation online, sometimes at the expense of their own authenticity and mental health. I talk candidly about my own journey, learning to accept myself and appreciate that it's okay if not everyone likes you, as long as you strive to be a good person.
Tune in for insights on how we, as parents and adults, can guide children to build true self-confidence and a healthy perspective, and why showing them the realities behind the curated online content is so crucial for their mental wellbeing.

In today's episode, I dive into a powerful and thought-provoking statement I once heard from a business colleague: “The people who live the most fulfilled lives are the ones that cope the best.” This is simple yet profound idea hit home for me, and I share my own personal journey in learning how to navigate both the highs and lows that life inevitably throws our way.
From moments of pure joy to periods of challenge and adversity, I explore how maintaining perspective, managing emotions, and developing effective coping strategies have helped me achieve more balance and fulfilment. I break down a practical acronym I use—OKIE—to help tackle problems and keep my mental health in a good place. Plus, I reflect on how my daily running vlog acts as a powerful coping mechanism and a source of calm and therapy.
Whether you're seeking inspiration to better handle life’s turbulence or looking for practical advice to stay grounded, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, I dive deep into the importance of loyalty and why it's one of the most undervalued traits in our society right now. I open up about my own journey—moments when I've been fiercely loyal, as well as times I haven't lived up to my own standards. Reflecting on generational shifts, I examine how loyalty, honesty, and integrity seem to be fading with each passing decade, and why this concerns me for our future—especially for our children. Drawing from personal experiences and lessons learnt, I discuss the fine line between personal growth and betraying those who've supported us, and offer advice for forging lasting, loyal relationships in a rapidly changing world. Join me as I share these thoughts and encourage all of us to hold on to what truly makes us decent people. Stay positive, stay happy!

In this episode, I reflect on a timeless lesson that’s easy to understand but often overlooked: many hands make light work. As I wrap up the fourth day of our annual village football team’s tournament, a brilliant event run entirely by volunteers, I can’t help but notice how a small group always shoulders most of the responsibility. Whether you’re a coach, a parent, or an enthusiastic supporter, just chipping in for a short while can dramatically lighten the load for everyone. Join me as I share my thoughts on the importance of community, the value of giving back, and how a bit of effort from everyone makes our local clubs and events flourish. If you’re part of a community club or event, ask yourself: are you doing your fair share? Let’s make things easier, together.

In today’s episode, I reflect on a powerful lesson from my daughter’s under-12s football tournament—an inspiring real-life example of teamwork overcoming individual talent. As someone who’s watched these girls struggle for seasons and then suddenly match, even outplay, teams of superstars, I’ve witnessed first-hand how collective effort, communication, and strategy can level (or even beat) the playing field. I share how these insights go beyond football, offering useful takeaways for life and business: sometimes, it’s not the people with the most skill who win, but those who work best together. Join me as I unpack what happened on the pitch, why it made me rethink old assumptions, and how you can harness the power of true teamwork in your own life. Don’t forget, this journey is part of my ongoing mission to save children’s lives through the ultimate ultramarathon—so please, subscribe, share, and help spread the word!

From dealing with panic and procrastination, to discovering the power of short distractions and even a strategic siesta, I'm laying out my raw experience so you can learn and grow with me. Whether you’re running businesses or managing life’s hurdles, there are lessons here to help you respond instead of React.

Ever wondered what it's like to lace up your trainers the day after running a 50 kilometre ultramarathon? On day 1841 of my daily run streak, I dive into the realities of post-ultra recovery runs. I share why, if you're not chasing a streak, you probably shouldn't run the day after an ultra, and if you are, how crucial it is to go slow, listen to your body, and prioritise recovery above all else. I break down my own approach—taking it extra easy, focusing on gentle movement, and letting my body guide the pace.

After 15 marathons, I’m finally tackling a race strategy that’s always felt a bit alien to me: starting slow. In this episode, I reflect on my last few underwhelming marathon performances and why I think my usual “go out hard, hang on for dear life” approach might not be working any more. I dive into the pros and cons of different marathon strategies pacing yourself from the start, negative splits, and more and explain why I’m now convinced that holding back in the first few miles could be the key to avoiding that dreaded wall at mile 20. Join me as I lay out my plan for my next marathon, fuel tactics, and why sometimes changing your approach is the smartest move. If you’ve struggled with hitting the wall or are curious about marathon pacing, this one’s for you!

Today, I share my personal take on systemising businesses using Dave Jennings' Systemology Framework — and how I've adapted it to suit my own ventures. If you’re a business owner, or aspiring to become one, this episode is a treasure trove of practical insight. I walk through the critical client flow, mapping out each step in the customer journey: from capturing attention, handling enquiries, and making sales, all the way to onboarding and encouraging repeat business. You’ll hear how standard operating procedures (SOPs) underpin a business that truly runs independently, and I dive into how you can delegate, measure, and continually improve these processes. Plus, I touch on how AI is revolutionising SOP creation for me, making systemisation faster than ever. Don’t miss the chance to learn how to build a business that thrives without constant oversight — and remember: this mission is all about saving lives through my ultimate barefoot ultra marathon run. Stay positive, stay happy, and let’s get systemised together.
