If you’re new here, this is a good place to begin. These episodes aren’t the most popular or impressive — they’re the ones that help people get their footing.
You don’t need to listen to all of these. One is enough to start. Pick the one that speaks to where you are right now — body, mind, discipline, relationships, or confidence — and start there.
Chris Powell
A grounding introduction to self-respect through health. This episode shows how taking care of your body can be an act of compassion, not punishment, and why change sticks when it’s built on kindness rather than shame.
John Delony
Helps listeners understand how stress, anxiety, and emotional overload quietly drive behaviour. A calm, practical entry point into emotional awareness without turning it into therapy-speak.
Dr Adi Jaffe
Explores shame, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves. This episode helps people recognise hidden patterns that keep them stuck — without blaming or diagnosing themselves.
Mat Fraser
A clear example of standards, responsibility, and commitment. Not hype — but an honest look at what “doing the work” actually requires when excuses are removed.
Jordan Syatt
Breaks the all-or-nothing mindset. A practical lesson in sustainability, patience, and why consistency beats intensity when rebuilding your life.
Adam Lane Smith
Helps listeners understand attachment patterns and relationship dynamics without blame. A crucial episode for anyone stuck repeating the same emotional loops.
Roger Gracie
A masterclass in simplicity and fundamentals. Shows how progress comes from doing fewer things better, rather than constantly chasing new strategies.
Travis Stevens
Demonstrates quiet discipline and consistency without theatrics. This episode reframes discipline as something calm, repeatable, and non-dramatic.
Kelly Starrett
Focuses on restoring basic physical capability so life stops feeling harder than it needs to be. A reminder that capacity comes before willpower.
A.J. Jacobs
Encourages experimentation over overthinking. Shows how treating change as a series of small experiments can lower pressure and unlock real momentum.
Once you’ve listened to one or two episodes, feel free to explore the rest of the site at your own pace. I built this show while figuring things out myself. If you’re not sure where you fit yet, that’s okay — you’re not behind.
