Today’s conversation is with Max Dickins. Max is a comedian, writer and a mental health advocate. Loneliness increases risk of early death by 26%. This risk is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is higher than that caused by obesity and physical inactivity. And men are suffering worse than ever. This is having a negative impact on their partners, their employers, their children and society as a whole. Expect to learn how Max’s own experience of having no best man led to him writing Billy No Mates, how men's loneliness differs from female loneliness, men’s reliance on their female partners for a social life, the evolutionary explanation for shallower male friendships, and why contributing to a project and doing tasks is crucial for bonding among men. You’ll also hear about how opening up differs from manning up, the value of friendships at work, and the impact of remote working. Today’s podcast is sponsored by Propane Fitness.

Today’s conversation is with Andy Hart, founder of Maven Adviser, and host of the Maven Money podcast. Andy also started Humans Under Management, a conference dedicated to behavioural finance and delivering better outcomes to clients. Expect to learn how Andy built a career and podcast platform with the mission statement “Ensuring you behave your way to wealth and don't misbehave your way to poverty.” He shares his no BS approach to building personal wealth, protecting your financial fortress, avoiding financial trash, the benefits of having a bucket list, and why Charlie Minger was right when he said “The First £100K is a bitch”. I also ask Andy about life as a business owner, family man, and his own definitions, insights and advice around success. Are you a PT, coach or fitness expert looking to move online?

Today’s conversation is with Dr Sarah Vohra, The Mind Medic. Dr Sarah is a Consultant Psychiatrist who also creates content online as The Mind Medic, as well as working with global brands to help them create impactful mental health and wellbeing campaigns for their audience by sharing her expert advice. Expect to learn what drove Sarah to start the Mind Medic and the common myths we see about mental health online, the actions you can take to reclaim your mental health, how the pandemic and the cost of living crisis has impacted the population’s wellbeing, and some of the habits you can implement to optimise how you feel. Sarah focuses on a proactive approach and you’ll hear about how you as an aspiring high performance can manage worry, your to do list, and even how to have supportive and direct conversations to support the wellbeing of others around you. Lastly, I appreciated Sarah’s ability and willingness to share how she manages her wellbeing as a professional that is exposed to a high volume of emotional strain and stress through supporting her patients.

Today’s conversation is with Alan Stein Jr. Alan is a keynote speaker and author who spent 15+ years as a performance coach working with the highest-performing basketball players on the planet such as Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Kobe Bryant. He now teaches audiences how to utilise the same strategies in business that elite athletes use to perform at a world-class level. Expect to learn about the overlap between high performance in sport and business, delivering and getting feedback, what some of the greatest ever basketball players can teach us about levelling up our own performance, and much more. One final aspect I asked Alan about from a selfish perspective but I know that will help most listeners is how he has improved his public speaking and presenting. This is a skill I truly believe that all of us should work on regardless if you’re a keynote speaker, podcaster, or just someone who wants to be better heard and understand in their career and personal life.

Today's conversation is a fourth appearance on the podcast for Donald Cameron and Declan Kelly from Crypto Glasgow. Expect to learn what has happened in the Cryptocurrency market since we last recorded in February 2022, including the negative news stories that have come along with the drop in price of most major crypto coins, the scandals around FTX, Celsius and Crypto.com. As part of this, we remind to a younger Dec and Don in the last bear market when they first started buying crypto. This is a period that many crypto investors are experiencing right now where the fear, uncertainty and doubt is high. I ask how they first got involved with investing in crypto, their first purchases, the biggest challenges, and you’ll also hear some funny stories including about Dec’s missing doge coin. We reflect on how the boys’ lives changed during the last Bull market, how the Crypto Glasgow business grew, and how the return on their investments altered their financial situation, while some other aspects of their life remained the same. I’m always interested in how my financially successful guests adjust to big changes in spending power and I’m sure you will get a lot of value from the answers you are about to hear. Lastly, we look ahead to the next bull market and which projects and investments that Crypto Glasgow are most excited about. This one is packed with wisdom on crypto but we also go into the mindset aspect of investing and pursuing financial freedom, and I really enjoyed hosting Dec and Don again. If you are new here or new to crypto then please go back and listen to episode 40, 64 and 110 to bring yourself up to speed. Today’s podcast is supported and sponsored by Clean Foods Meal Prep.

Today’s conversation is with Mark Lewis, one of the fastest growing Fitness YouTubers. Working in financial services, recently divorced, over 100lbs overweight, Mark shares how he made actionable changes to his lifestyle and habits to become the fit family man that we watch on YouTube today. Expect to learn the steps Mark took, the shifts in behaviours required, Mark’s perspectives on fat shaming and the obesity epidemic, and being above average at just about every form of fitness. You will also hear about Mark’s unusual journey to starting his now huge YouTube channel, the importance of embracing your own unique style, stand up comedy, managing binge eating, being vegan, and his future plans and challenges.

Today’s conversation is another roundtable discussion with two guests. One of whom you have heard from before and one who is new to CamBro Conversations, at least publicly. I am joined by Darren Lee, host of the Kick Off Sessions Podcast and Operations Manager in Wealth and Trading at Revolut and by David McIntosh, award winning Management Consultant and the host of the Development By David Podcast. We sat down at the end of 2022 while Darren was back from Singapore in the UK and Ireland to look at our predictions and expectations for 2023. Expect to hear whether we are feeling bullish (positive) or bearish (and negative) about a huge range of areas. These include investments, platforms, employment, mindset, personal brands, finances, and so much more. I loved sitting down with these two as we have our own Podcast Group chat where we have shared guests, software, video editors, and so much advice with each other over the last 9 months. If you’re new here, hit the subscribe or follow button and join all three of us in getting ready for a very successful and fulfilling 2023.

Today’s conversation the return of my round table discussions with Chris Burns, owner of Savage Scholar Consulting and David Hatt, Founder of MTN.

Given this is being released on Christmas Day, we also have 3 unpopular opinions on Christmas and the festive period.

Today’s conversation is with Dan Meek and Mike Harrison who run Biceps and Banter. Dan and Mike are Online Coaches Coaches and help coaches build their businesses. As the name suggests Dan and Mike will make you laugh and they certainly made me laugh when we recorded this 100 minute conversation in the Poddster studios while I was on holiday in Dubai. Now this is when I normally provide a concise summary of what we cover in the episode, but this chat goes so many different places and some of which I’m not sure you would believe me. I’m not one for misleading click bait, but we really do talk about peeing yourself, clearing a block toilet, onlyfans, competition in the fitness industry, why most fitness content online is awful, how to really grow a business, leaning into your own style, and much more. I had great fun getting together with these two and know you’re going to laugh a lot during the next 100 minutes, but also nod along at the honest, stark and straight talking opinions that Dan and Mike share. Whether you’re a fitness coach or not, you’ll enjoy both the humour and the savvy business and life advice.
