It's A State Of Mind - Podcast

“I don't know what I want.” “I don't know where I'm going.” “I don't know how to create a long-term vision.” If you've ever said those words  or thought them  this episode is for you. Most men feel lost at some point. But the truth is you're not broken. You've just never been shown how to figure it out. In this episode, I'll walk you through the exact framework I use with my clients to build a meaningful mission and vision step by step, even when you feel stuck or directionless. We cover: ✅ Why “finding” your mission doesn't work  and what to do instead ✅ The 4-step process to start building clarity today ✅ How to stop reacting to life and start leading it ✅ Why your mission will evolve as you evolve  and that's a good thing ✅ Why waiting for perfection will keep you stuck forever “You weren't given this life just to exist. You're here to build something worth being remembered for.” If you're ready to stop drifting and start moving toward the man you want to become  this is where you start.

In this episode, I sit down with Jon to talk about the patterns we see over and over in men who feel stuck — and how to finally break through. Jon shares his journey from being overweight, signed off work, and lost… to rebuilding his mindset, his health, and his role as a husband and father. We talk honestly about: Chronic procrastination and waiting for the “perfect time” Compulsive time wasting and why your scroll is stealing your future The tension at home when you're distracted and disconnected Why stress turns into destructive habits — and how to break that cycle The myth of self-sabotage and what's really going on in your head Why consistency beats motivation every single time “If your kids, your partner, and your team are watching you fall apart — and you know it — the time to fix it is now.” This is a raw conversation about what's holding men back and what it actually takes to lead yourself and your family.

What would your kids copy if they were watching you today? The truth is — they are. In this episode, I share the moment that stopped me cold: Watching my daughter quietly mimic my every move while I thought she wasn't even paying attention. It hit me hard — because I realised: They notice everything. The habits. The moods. The presence — or the absence. And if I'm honest, there were times I was teaching her to burn herself out. To chase approval. To forget what really matters. “They're not waiting for you to finish the hustle. They're learning how to live — by how you lead, right now.” If that unsettles you — good. That's your signal to realign. Listen now. If you're ready to lead yourself — and them — better, click here → https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ and message me READY.

Energy doesn't come from sitting still or grinding yourself into the ground. It comes from alignment. From listening to your body. From living with a mission. In this episode — recorded just after a sunrise paddleboard session — I share the lessons that hit me hard after a draining week in Spain: Why rest alone won't fix low energy — but alignment will How to listen to your body and know when to push or pause The hidden energy leaks caused by poor environment and wrong people Why your mission and your edge are the ultimate fuel for life And how a quick recalibration can reset everything “If you feel drained, distracted, and disconnected — you're probably leaking energy somewhere. Time to patch the holes.” This one's a reminder to protect your energy, nurture your body and mind, and lead yourself back into alignment.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain and share the raw truth from my recent hot seat session at our retreat in Spain — where I finally faced the misalignment in my own business, energy, and mindset. I talk about: Why chasing scale led to the wrong clients and drained energy The moment I realised I was tolerating too much and compromising my mission How not showing up publicly was actually selfish — and why that's changing The vision for a new chapter: more authority, more impact, more men helped “I realised I don't see myself the way others do. And I was making it about me — instead of the men I'm here to help.” If you're a man building something meaningful… but deep down you know you've been playing small, stuck in your head, or holding back — this one's for you. This is about remembering who the f**k you are. And stepping up — so you can lead.

Today's episode is a hard one. But it's also one of the most important I've ever recorded. Stuart Barnes — one of our original Brotherhood members — is spending his final days in a Macmillan centre after a year-long battle with cancer. He's been with us for five years. A warrior. A father. A man of integrity. In the face of terminal illness, Stu showed more courage, conviction, and perspective than most will show in a lifetime. He's reminded us of one powerful truth: 99% of the things we stress about don't matter. The 1% that does — our time, presence, family, health — that's where our energy must go. In this episode, I reflect on: The lessons Stu's taught us over the past year How his courage reframed our day-to-day perspective Why we're dedicating an annual half-marathon in his name And why you must stop wasting time on the things that don't matter This episode is about legacy, clarity, and making sure that when your time comes — you know you lived well.

This isn't just a story about career change. It's about identity. Purpose. And the drift most men never challenge. In this episode, I share the pivotal moment that changed the entire direction of my life — from labouring on building sites, to management, to the Royal Marines, and finally into fatherhood and mission-driven entrepreneurship. I cover: The deep misalignment I felt as a 22-year-old store manager The emotional shift triggered by a single film Why I walked away from a military career to be a present father And how misalignment became the spark for a mission “Every time I've felt misaligned, it's led to my next chapter.” If you feel like you're drifting — this is the wake-up call. Because you don't need to crash to realise you've been living out of sync. But you do need to listen to that internal tension… and do something about it. If you would like to work with us, please click here → https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ and message me READY.

You haven't failed. But you've stopped swinging the axe like you used to. You're still showing up… but without the sharpness. The edge. The intensity that once made you unstoppable. This episode is your wake-up call to rebuild it. Inside, we break down: How high-performing men quietly drift into comfort The invisible cost of losing your edge Why most don't crash — they just slowly lower the bar And how to rebuild through structure, friction, and non-negotiable action “A man with an edge is focused. Present. Dangerous. A man without one is just busy.” If you're ready to sharpen up and stop settling — this is the one.

“I was building the business… but missing the mission.” Jonny shares the raw truth of how success in business blinded him to what really mattered — time with his daughter. Years of hustle. Constant pressure. Until one day, he realised he was building his life around his business — not the other way around. This is the story of realignment. Of rediscovering what truly matters. And building success from the inside out — as a man, a father, and a leader.

Anyone can show up when they're being watched. But true leadership? That's built in silence. In this episode, we break down: Why your private standards shape your public results How to lead yourself when motivation disappears The real identity work that happens behind closed doors And how to build unshakable discipline — without applause If you're a high-performing man who's ready to stop drifting and lead from within — this one's for you. If you would like to work with us, please click here → https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ and message me READY.

This isn't a motivational talk. It's a mission check. If you've been feeling out of sync — like you're playing below your potential — this is the reset you didn't know you needed. In this powerful session, we strip everything back and confront the real question:

Motivation is unreliable. Feelings change. But your standards — they're the backbone of your identity. In this episode, we dive into what separates operators from amateurs: The ability to lead yourself when you don't feel like it. You'll discover: Why emotional drift is the silent killer of consistency How to lock in daily standards so deeply, they override doubt The key mindset shift to stop negotiating with your mission Tactical routines for snapping out of low-drive states fast Why discipline isn't about pushing harder — it's about choosing better This is for the high-performing man who's done with the rollercoaster. Done with excuses. And ready to raise the bar — even on his worst days. If you would like to work with us, please click here → https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ and message me READY.

This episode is for the dads carrying the weight of being everything, the provider, the leader, the role model, and still wondering if they're doing enough. There are moments we all face: When we're distracted. When work takes over. When we're in our own head and not fully present. And then the guilt creeps in… “Am I failing them?” Inside this episode, we unpack: The emotional battle of being a mission-driven man and an intentional father Why there's no blueprint for perfect parenting  and why that's okay How to manage the mental and emotional load of fatherhood in seasons of pressure What actually matters most: presence, love, effort, and example The power of showing up imperfectly but consistently You're not a failure for being stretched. You're not a bad dad for being human. What matters is that you care enough to keep coming back. “Your kids don't need perfection > they need presence.” If you would like to work with us, please click here → https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ and message me READY.

This one's raw. Off the back of a coaching call where a client came in full of hype but empty on action — we're unpacking the brutal truth most men avoid:

Are you ready to get to work on building the man you want to become  Click here > https://www.instagram.com/jamesboardmanuk/ Then message me the word READY, and we'll go from there   You scaled the business. You built the income. You did everything right on paper. But if you're honest — you're drifting. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the hidden crisis many high-performing men face: building external success while losing themselves in the process. We'll unpack: Why achievement without alignment leads to silent burnout The real role of a man — beyond provider What your kids and partner actually need from you How to rebuild the man behind the mission The daily systems and identity shifts that anchor true leadership This isn't about doing more. It's about remembering who you said you'd become  and stepping into him fully
