In this debate podcast featuring return guest James Swanwick (you can check out our first show together here), you'll get to hear an honest, science-backed exploration of alcohol’s true impact on your body, brain, and quality of life—plus what it really takes to build a vibrant, alcohol-free lifestyle. James Swanwick is an Australian-American entrepreneur who helps high performers and casual drinkers reduce or quit alcohol without feeling deprived. He is a former SportsCenter anchor on ESPN and the creator and founder of Project 90, a neuroscience-based process scientifically proven to reduce drinking by 98%. James specifically supports high achievers, including entrepreneurs, executives, physicians, attorneys, and professional athletes. He’s also an investor, speaker, and author of the book, CLEAR: The Only Neuroscience-Based Approach for High Achievers to Finally Break Free From Alcohol Without Willpower, Rehab or AA.

We get into the nuances of drinking, discussing hormesis, genetics, culture, and whether small amounts of alcohol can play a role in a well-rounded, intentional lifestyle. It’s a respectful, spirited conversation that doesn’t aim to tell you what to do—but gives you the clarity and information to make the best decision for your own health and goals. Whether you’re sober-curious, optimizing your performance, or just reevaluating your habits, this episode offers practical tools, real-world insight, and a fresh perspective on one of the most normalized substances in our culture.

 At the end of 2023, there was this phrase I kept hearing in my head on repeat. "It doesn't feel safe to slow down."I'd end my days feeling completely depleted mentally, physically, and emotionally. And yet I'd still push myself to do more. Sometimes it was work stuff, sometimes it was home stuff. But I had this constant, almost compulsive need to be doing something productive at all times. Rest felt elusive, like this thing other people could do, once they'd earned it. For me, rest basically just meant sleep. It was a quick reset so I could get up and do it all over again.Sound familiar?  Let's figure out how we can unlearn that habit.-----Episode Mentioned: 314.

Episode Summary:Many entrepreneurs focus intensely on growing their businesses while neglecting personal financial security. Paul Cook, a veteran insurance professional with decades of experience, reveals how life insurance can serve as more than just death benefit protection - it can provide tax-free retirement income, emergency liquidity, and protection from market volatility. Drawing from real-world stories of families he's helped through tragedies and business owners who've faced unexpected challenges, Paul demonstrates how proper financial protection strategies can make the difference between financial security and disaster.About the Guest:Paul Cook  began his career with Metropolitan Life in West Virginia, working with anyone who would meet with him. Over his decades-long career, he's specialized in helping business owners and entrepreneurs who wear multiple hats - managing their businesses, employees, and families. Paul has delivered both life insurance benefits to grieving families and witnessed the consequences when people were inadequately protected. Key Concepts Explained:Life Insurance as Wealth Building: Paul advocates viewing life insurance beyond just death benefits. Properly structured policies can provide tax-free retirement income, emergency access to cash, and wealth accumulation without market risk. Unlike traditional retirement accounts, life insurance offers flexibility in when and how much to withdraw without government penalties.Tax Efficiency vs. Tax Deferral: Paul contrasts traditional retirement planning (401(k)s, IRAs) with life insurance strategies. While traditional accounts offer immediate tax deductions, they create future tax liabilities on larger sums. Life insurance provides tax-free growth and distributions, giving policyholders more control.Business Owner Vulnerabilities: Paul emphasizes that business owners often have their entire financial identity tied to their companies. External factors like competition, tariffs, or mismanagement can destroy business value. Life insurance provides independent wealth accumulation unencumbered by business risks.Professional Persistence: Paul's approach involves being "professionally patient" - educating clients about risks and opportunities without harassment or pressure. He uses real stories to illustrate consequences of both action and inaction.Practical Applications:Term Insurance Foundation: For those hesitant about permanent coverage, Paul recommends starting with inexpensive term insurance while healthy, with conversion options for future permanent coverage without medical underwriting.Business Succession Planning: Life insurance can fund buy-sell agreements, providing liquidity when business partners die or retire. Paul shares a tragic example of a family business that spent $70,000 in legal fees that could have been avoided with proper planning.Estate Liquidity: Life insurance provides immediate cash to pay estate taxes and preserve family businesses and assets that might otherwise need to be sold.Real-World Impact Stories:Paul shares powerful examples: a plumber who initially resisted buying coverage but died of a heart attack one year later; a divorced nurse whose policy provided education funds when she died in a house fire; and a business owner who reduced coverage six months before dying.Connect with Paul Cook:Email: paul@paulhcook.com Book: "The Wealth Builder" available by requestSupport the show

Burnout is more than exhaustion—it's often a sign that we're clinging to outdated roles, habits, or expectations. Scott Anderson, a licensed mental health therapist and founder of Double Dare, views burnout as a form of “self-inflicted suffering” that can serve as a wake-up call for personal transformation. His work redefines success, urging individuals to listen to their internal signals rather than push harder through stress. Through tools like the Genius Zone framework and the R&R Technique, Scott helps high achievers realign with what truly matters. He guides clients in identifying the few tasks that create the greatest impact, while also addressing emotional blocks like perfectionism, guilt, and resentment. By combining strategic delegation with emotional clarity—especially the power of self-forgiveness—Scott enables people to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with meaning in their work and life. For anyone feeling burnt out, disengaged, or overwhelmed, Scott's book You're Not Toast offers a powerful, practical roadmap to recovery. It's designed for entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals ready to reclaim control and restore clarity. Visit his website to learn more and access his proven burnout recovery resources.

In episode 308 of the Full Frontal Living Podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant and bold Callan Faulkner, AI coach and founder of The Uncommon Business, to talk about something that feels equal parts exciting and overwhelming for most of us: artificial intelligence.But don't worry—we're not talking robots and world domination.We're talking about how AI can be a surprisingly powerful mirror for your personal growth, your habits, your chaos... and ultimately, your power to choose how you show up.This episode is part soulful conversation, part practical strategy—and 100% about helping you see that technology doesn't replace your wisdom. It amplifies it. If you're willing to engage with intention. What We Get Into:AI as a Self-Reflection Tool: It's not about the tech—it's about how you use it. AI simply reflects back what you bring to it. If you're feeling scattered or unsure, guess what's going to show up in your prompts? Yep—more chaos.Why Questions Matter More Than Answers: Whether you're journaling, talking to a coach, or prompting a chatbot—the quality of your input always shapes the outcome. Callan and I riff on how to ask better questions so you get better results.Collapsing Time + Clarifying Chaos: We talk about how AI can help streamline your life—from meal planning to emotional processing—and why your real power lies in choosing what to act on (and what to let go of).Overcoming Overwhelm: Callan and I both share how AI can become another form of busy work if you're not careful. It's not about more ideas—it's about choosing what actually matters. Ready to Work Smarter AND Grow Deeper?Start by asking yourself: Where am I using my tools—and where are my tools using me? Because the real transformation isn't in the tech. It's in the way you choose to live your life. Let's Keep the Conversation Going:Loved this episode?

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk unpacks the 10 biggest fitness myths that entrepreneurs, high performers, and busy professionals fall for time and time again, often at the expense of progress, energy, and long-term results. If you're constantly trying to "do more" but still not seeing the outcomes you want, this episode will challenge your thinking and give you a clearer, smarter approach to fitness that actually fits your life. What's Inside Why lifting heavy doesn't make you stiff or slow, it builds resilience and performance The truth about short workouts (and why duration matters less than quality) Why more cardio won't lead to more fat loss without strength and protein The lie of “starting once work slows down”, and why that day never comes How lack of sleep is silently killing your progress Why eating clean without awareness won't move the needle The hard truth: you can't outwork a bad diet Why skipping meals sabotages energy and output When to use protein shakes and why they're not a magic fix How recovery shapes progress just as much as training Why Listen? This episode is a reality check for driven individuals who want results without wasting time. Stop following broken strategies and start using proven principles that align with your lifestyle and goals. For more information on what was discussed in this episode head to https://kirkmiller.co.uk/programme/ The Kirk Miller Podcast is the show for business leaders and peak performers to get into the best physical and mental shape of their lives and unleash from within confidence they never thought possible. 

Send us a textEver feel like you're constantly working toward your goals but rarely stopping to acknowledge how far you've come? You're not alone.This episode dives deep into the often-overlooked practice of giving ourselves love and respect, particularly for high-achieving women. While we excel at identifying areas for improvement (which is likely why you're listening to self-development podcasts!), we frequently miss opportunities to celebrate our progress and acknowledge our efforts.The real magic happens when we balance our drive for growth with genuine self-appreciation. As Nandi reveals, the people operating at their highest level aren't those constantly criticizing themselves into excellence—they're those who genuinely love and respect themselves first. This love creates space for greater creativity, resilience, and authentic connection with others.Through personal stories about her 32nd birthday celebrations and thoughtful questions, Nandi invites you to reflect: Where have you been showing yourself love that you haven't acknowledged? What efforts deserve recognition, regardless of their outcomes? How might shifting from "I'm not enough yet" to "I'm doing well and getting better" transform your experience?Whether you're struggling with a setback or simply feeling like your efforts aren't yielding results fast enough, this episode offers a compassionate reminder that becoming someone you've never been before is challenging work—and you're doing that work beautifully.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with high-performance coach Adam Smith, who shares insights on personal development, the pursuit of potential, and the internal blocks that high achievers face. They discuss the importance of progress over perfection, the role of beliefs and standards in achieving success, and the necessity of stillness in a fast-paced world. Adam emphasizes that purpose is not something to be found but created through action and progress, and he highlights the common struggle of feeling 'not good enough' among men, particularly in high-pressure environments. TakeawaysThe pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.Progress equals happiness, not destination.Many men feel they are not good enough.Purpose is something we create, not find.The 'when and then' mentality hinders action.High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.Beliefs shape our actions and results.Discipline is key to high performance.Standards determine the quality of our work.Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection. Meditation can feel uncomfortable due to the overwhelming number of thoughts we have.We often avoid pain rather than seeking pleasure, which affects our perception of experiences.Being fully present can help us appreciate the world around us.Stillness is essential for achieving inner peace and calm.Many people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.Success can be redefined to include joy and fulfillment, not just achievement.The cost of unchecked ambition can be high, including divorce and mental health issues.Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.You don't have to hit rock bottom to initiate change in your life.Chapters 00:18 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 01:17 - Adam Smith: The High Performance Coach 02:16 - The Pursuit of Potential 04:13 - Understanding Purpose and Progress 07:07 - The 'When and Then' Mentality 09:18 - Internal Blocks for High Achievers 12:07 - The Role of Beliefs and Standards 15:24 - Discipline and High Performance 20:14 - The Importance of Stillness 23:59 - The Challenge of Meditation and Mindfulness 27:31 - The Importance of Stillness for Inner Peace 30:10 - Compartmentalization and Its Impact on Life 35:43 - The High Cost of Unchecked Ambition 38:56 - Redefining Success: Finding Joy and PurposeSmith's Links Website:agameconsultancy.comLinkedIn: Adam SmithInstagram: agameconsultancyFacebook: agameconsultancyPodcast: agameunfilteredFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights
