I lead driven individuals to find direction, create strategies and accelerate toward the greatest ve I help driven individuals to fulfil their true potential.

To create a robust, strong and durable body. To forge a tough, resilient and flexible mindset. And to effectively lead and communicate with those around them, and those who would depend on them. If you’re reading this.. The chances are that you feel like you’re currently living to 10% of your true potential...

If you have no interest in expanding on that, living life on your terms, challenging yo

urself and breaching the door of your true capability, then stop reading here. This is not for you. But if you're the person who knows they can achieve more.. Who has worked hard, professionally. Who has shown, in a former life, you have the fortitude and capability to be a physical specimen.. But has, for some reason, fallen in to bad habits, negative self talk and a state of low-self confidence? Then this is for you. We can lead you to not only re-gain your former glory, but surpass it. Send me a DM to find out more.

You don’t have to keep choosing between your ambition, your health and your family.

I know exactly how much pressure those kind of decisions hold.

The dream of feeling capable of doing anything - and having incredible adventures…

Feels like it can’t exist alongside being respected at work, and present at home.

That’s simply not true. Not for the men I partner with, at least.

Their dream is to build a life in which they do not have to choose between ambition…

Or being a good man at home.

They want to perform, provide, lead, explore and challenge themselves…

While still being present, healthy and emotionally available.

They do not want less ambition.

Nor do they want “another thing to worry about”.

They want an operating model that can actually carry their ambition.

The iPad analogy isn’t the complete strategy - by any means…

But it’s a powerful introductory tool to help us put things into perspective.

To show up for those who look to us for our strength and resolve.

To help us do less, but better.

If this has spoken to you - and you’re sick of struggling under the pressure of your own to-do list…

Drop me a message with “info” and we’ll chat to explore if I can help you.

Let’s do less, better.

The harsh truth about resilience & mental toughness…

Pushing through can become self abandonment and you will begin to fail the very people you were trying to support in first place.

You cannot serve from an empty cup.

If this landed and you’re noticing your cup starting to run a dry…

Let’s talk about how we can help you build structures, systems and strategies that will support the tempo of life you want to lead.

A busy fool or burnt out husk is useful to no one.

Dm me “interested” and I’ll run you through the details.

Actions are the ground upon which you stand.

“I was gonna…”

“I’m going to try to…”

“Works been a bit hectic…”

“It’s not an excuse, but…”

If your self trust is soaring and you’re truly showing up to the best of your ability every day - whilst using the phrases like the ones above…

Then fair play.

But I highly doubt that’s the case.

That is the language of someone who has repeatedly accepted letting themselves down…

And normalised avoiding change - instead of walking tall towards it.

I can’t force you to change. Nor will I try to. It’s your life, after all…

But eventually, you’ll hit a crossroads.

A wake up call. A day you realise you’re sick of your own excuses and standing in your own way.

When that moment comes - my job is bring all of my experience and education to bear on the situation…

And help you become the man that others will look to for guidance and inspiration.

A man you are proud to be. You trust yourself. You believe in yourself. You push yourself.

A a limits mentality, personified.

It’s always “that moment” for someone.

I have space to work with 3 more guys for the remainder of July.

If you want to know more, drop me a DM to ask about coaching.

I was shocked by the response I got to this.

I put a poll on my stories asking people to rate themselves.

The topic in question was “how well regulated are you?”

I appreciate nervous system regulation is quite a new topic to many…

And they, you, might not be intimately familiar with what good, or bad, regulation might look like.

I’ve been working on this with my clients for a number of years now - so I gave an example list of the symptoms of a poorly regulated nervous system that I see most often.

Irritability.
Low libido.
Racing & intrusive thoughts.
Muscle spasms or eyelid twitches.
Trouble sleeping / Insomnia.
Increasing screen time.
Procrastination & avoidance.
Stiff, sore and slow to recover.
Impulsive purchase behaviour.
Over eating - usually sweet or starchy food.
Increased abdominal body fat.

Over 1,000 of you kindly voted on that poll.

The average score didn’t shock me…

But it did sadden me.

Out of 1-5 [5 being good]…

The average of 1,000 people - was less than 2.

What’s most frustrating, as a coach…

Firstly, is that you will not meaningfully improve under those conditions.

Secondly, is that all of this is entirely avoidable.

It doesn’t require endless time off.

You don’t need to journal for an hour or day…

Become a monk or walk away from anything ‘stressful’

It doesn’t require high tech, fancy protocols - or doing lots ‘more’ stuff.

It just requires a consistent and deliberate approach.

It necessitates active management of the things that are driving you in the wrong direction.

I’ve successfully implemented it with hundreds of clients.

If you read this and saw more of yourself in that list than you’d like…

Solving that is a core tenet of what we do.

Send me a DM.

Bank Holidays don’t count when you run a Business.

That’s what I used to say to people.

I believed it, too.

The truth was I was just too afraid to take time off.

I thought that if I turned my back, it was all going to slip through my fingers.

I felt guilty for taking time off. Like I hadn’t earned it, or wasn’t deserving of it yet.

But rather than saying that - I constructed a half-truth and tried to pass it off as nobility.

I love working on my business.

I love training hard.

I may not be the smartest, fittest or fastest…

But you’d be hard pressed to find anyone more committed and consistent than me.

That’s the way I like it.

But progress only begins when you tell the truth.

I had to sit with those uncomfortable feelings and stop creating ‘busy-ness’ to avoid them.

What got me to where I was, couldn’t get me to where I am now - years on.
 The truth was that it was fear, not fulfilment, driving that unrelenting hard work - at the expense of my enjoyment of the little things in life.

It wasn’t until I looked inward that I realised I was building on sandy foundations.

It was only when I fixed those and firmed up my core beliefs and behaviours…

That I stopped feeling those sinking feelings.

I stopped waking up and then quickly feeling as though I were already behind - and had no time or space to rest.

If you’re not working on your foundations…

You can have all the money, medals and material possessions in the world…

You still won’t feel enough, safe or free.

It’s not about becoming lazy, or losing your edge.

It’s about being able to change gears at your own chosing.

I’m grateful to be enjoying these bank holiday moments - something I used to be afraid of!

Core lesson: the bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle!

I was asked this question on a podcast recently…

My good friend Staz has started a podcast.

Instead of sitting down and being quite formal, in a studio…

He goes for a run or hike with the guest. It works well.
In this case - the guest was me.

The question he asked…

“What traits make a high performer?”

I’m very good at understanding the complexities and nuances of holistic high performance.

I’ve studied it and coached professionally for over 13 years, so I probably should have a grasp on it by now…

But when I simmer it down.

The answer is surprisingly simple.

I thought back to all the people I’ve worked with…

Staz being one of them, as me & my team helped prepare him to set the record breaking ‘Mission Everest’.

My honest answer…

Is that high performing people never don’t do the basics.

They are ruthlessly consistent with the implementation of the very basics of human functioning.

Complexity appeals to the simplistic mind.

Fancy protocols and cleverly named blueprints are all well and good…

But if the very basics of your physiology are compromised - you’re fu**ed. In a word.

I firmly believe that health is the bedrock of all performance.

And if you chase performance to the detriment of health…

You’ve already lit a fuse that will eventually detonate - it’s just a matter of time.

Sacrificing sleep for more work.

Grabbing convenience food all the time.

Skipping sessions because you’re too busy.

Choosing ‘busy-ness’ over creating a vision.

Gulping down more coffee but never being hydrated.

Spending all your time in cars, offices and hotels - but rarely outdoors.

This isn’t an exhaustive list and these things might seem overly reductive…

‘Too easy’, perhaps.

But if it’s so easy…

Why aren’t you doing it?

If you want to be the 1%…

The work starts here.

The life and body you have is your own fault.

If you’re out of shape and riddled with niggles & pain…

You’ve chosen that by being so glued to your screen all day.

If you’re constantly teetering on the edge of burnout…

You’ve chosen that by avoiding ‘being in your body’

If your sleep is s**t.

If you’re irritable and short tempered.

If you’re getting fatter and more inflamed…

You’ve chosen all of this.

I define intelligence as the rate at which you make changes after receiving new information or feedback.

So, with all due respect…

You’re acting incredibly stupid for someone for someone so bright.

Why?

Because it’s easier to avoid difficult truths. Your ego would rather you did, in fact.

Because there is no one to hold you accountable.

Because the ramifications of your decisions have not been fully realised…

Yet.

There is a whole world out there that you are not experiencing.

There are new levels of performance you’re not capable of reaching.

You’re wasting hours a day, days a month and probably missing out on thousands of quality moments and golden opportunities.

And that will continue to be the case until you start taking the hard right over the easy wrong.

I’m not insisting you add ‘more’ on to your day.

I’m telling you that investing time into the right areas will save you time and create the freedom to invest into the areas you actually want to show up in.

Progress begins when you start telling the truth.

If you’re committed to becoming the best version of yourself - keep your eye on what’s happening at Uncharted.
