S3 Ep154: The Importance Of Social Connection Sep 16, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we discuss the importance of social connection. This topic sprung from our own realisation of how, as entrepreneurs, we can sometimes feel isolated with our heads down in work. However, recently we’ve been speaking at events and networking and the fulfilment it’s brought has been staggering.
This led us to look at some of the research around how a lack of social interaction can negatively affect not just our mental health, but physical health too - a well as life longevity. We finish up by offering five tips to encourage our listeners to invest in social interactions and reap the huge rewards.

We’re always being asked what our diet is like. Do we count calories, do we watch our macros, do we eat cake?
So in this episode we break down some of the principles we apply to our food and drink, give you some dos and donts, and take you through our typical meals including what time of day we eat them.
If you’ve been unsure of what or how to eat, you’re sure to find this useful.

S3 Ep152: Fitness Trackers: Do We Really Need Them? Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Do fitness trackers help or hinder?
Last year, the global fitness tracker market was valued at around $39.5 billion and is forecasted to reach $187.2 billion in 2032. As you can see, it's big business!
However, in this episode, we pose the question - do we really need one at all? Does all the data cause overwhelm and make us rely even more heavily on technology, rather than connecting to our own body. And does our relationship with them veer into the unhealthy and obsessive?
We break down the pros and cons of trackers, give you a balanced view, and as always, offer tips to reset your tracker relationship so that YOU are back in control - rather than the other way around.

S3 Ep151: Self Commitment - The Importance Of Making Or Breaking Promises Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we talk about self commitment, and why we shouldn't underestimate the power of making or breaking promises to ourself.
Everything we do or don’t do gives us evidence of who we really are. It literally reinforces our self identity in a negative or positive way.
We share why it’s so important to build the muscle of self commitment - in other words doing what we say we’re going to do, because when we start to master this we’ll experience greater freedom, self trust and confidence.

Jim Rohn famously said that we’re the sum of the 5 people we hang out with the most. But is that really true?
In this episode we look at the value of putting yourself in a positive environment aligned with your goals, and dealing with the sensitive issue of those people, places and circumstances that may no longer be aligned with who you are becoming.
We look at some surprising research on the physical and mental effects of friendships and as always, give you tips to help you find your own tribe for success, health, wealth and happiness.

Show notes

Finances...love them or loathe them, it's a necessary part of life that determines how much freedom we get to enjoy in our later years.
In this episode we talk to entrepeneur and financial expert Jason Graystone about his own inspiring journey to becoming wealthy, and the steps we should be taking to start building our own financial freedom.
It’s not about working harder or longer, but about earning what Jason terms ‘the right to risk’ via smart investments, and creating leveraged income streams. We also dive into the impact our beliefs have on careers and money, what stops midlifers from making the necessary changes to their financial situation, as well as the vital calculations we need to make to ensure we continue to live a great quality of life.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, we’re thrilled to be joined by Danny Lee Clark, otherwise known as Nitro from American Gladiators, which hit our screens in the late 90s.
Having watched Muscles & Mayhem on Netflix, we were really touched by Danny’s story and knew he’d inspire, motivate and engage our midlife listeners.
We can tell you - he did not disappoint and truly - this is one of our all time favourite conversations, as we dive into what it means to be vulnerable as a man, how we reach fulfillment and what happens when you chase external validations of success.
After Gladiators, Danny went on to become a best selling author and speaker. You can find out more about him at the links below:

S3 Ep146: Unfulfilled At Midlife Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode we discuss why we often feel unfulfilled at midlife, because it’s more common than you might think.
In fact, for a majority of midlifers, there comes a point when we question our choices and current situation. This can trigger a lot of fear, overwhelm and guilt, but we want to reassure you that this isn’t a time of crisis, but of opportunity.
There are valid reasons you feel the way you feel, so we’re going to deep dive into five to help you see things with a little more confidence, clarity and self compassion.
