In this powerful conversation, Martyn Richards joins Adam Smith to unpack a struggle that so many men quietly deal with: feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. On the surface, it starts with excessive screen time and doom scrolling - but underneath it lies something much deeper. Together, they explore self-worth, shame, confidence, childhood conditioning, and why so many high-performing men still find ways to hold themselves back, even after making huge progress in other areas of life.

In this episode, Mayhew explores one of the most powerful concepts in personal growth: the space between stimulus and response. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's timeless wisdom, he unpacks why so many men live on emotional autopilot - reacting instantly to stress, conflict, pressure, criticism, and uncertainty - and how meditation can help you regain control over your mind, emotions, and behaviour. If you've ever snapped too quickly, overthought a situation for hours, or felt trapped inside your own head, this conversation will give you a completely different perspective.Make the change and book a call with Adam Smith: https://calendly.com/adamsmith-agameconsultancy/meeting-with-adam-smith-a-gameEmail Us: hello@agameconsultancy.comAdam SmithFrom depressed and suicidal to the happiest and fittest he's ever been, Adam Smith's self-development journey hasn't been easy but it has been worth it.

In this episode of Aligned, Adam Smith sits down with Pete (the man behind the editing desk of the podcast), for an unexpectedly deep conversation about work, identity and self-worth.What begins as a discussion about feeling guilty during quieter work periods quickly uncovers something much bigger: the pressure many men place on themselves to constantly prove their value. Together, they explore fear of failure, childhood conditioning, self-deprecation, people-pleasing and the exhausting belief that productivity equals worth. Expect honest reflections, practical mindset shifts and a powerful reminder that being present is sometimes more valuable than “doing more”.Make the change and book a call with Adam Smith: https://calendly.com/adamsmith-agameconsultancy/meeting-with-adam-smith-a-gameEmail Us: hello@agameconsultancy.comAdam SmithFrom depressed and suicidal to the happiest and fittest he's ever been, Adam Smith's self-development journey hasn't been easy but it has been worth it.

What if the path to inspiring others starts with understanding yourself first? Kevin sits down with Bruce Mayhew to explore why inspired leadership starts with looking inward, not for self-focus, but to serve better and lead others. They discuss the connection between learning and leadership growth, the importance of saying "I don't know" as a pathway to curiosity and trust, and why so-called soft skills are better understood as human skills. Bruce also shares a powerful distinction between motivation and inspiration, reminding us that leaders cannot manufacture motivation in others, but they can create the conditions that help people do their best work. Along the way, they unpack why accountability should be seen as an opportunity rather than blame, how leaders must balance individual needs with team cohesion, and why organizations should focus less on trying to empower people and more on enabling their success.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew unpack the real reason so many men struggle with boundaries, burnout, and constantly putting other people first. This isn't just about being “too nice” - it's about understanding where people pleasing truly begins, how childhood conditioning shapes adult behaviour, and why seeking approval can quietly control your decisions, relationships, health, and happiness. If you've ever struggled to say no, worried what people think of you, or felt emotionally exhausted trying to keep everyone happy, this conversation will hit home.

Eric Mayhew, Chief Innovation Officer and Co-Founder of Fluency, shares how his experience in automotive advertising inspired the creation of Fluency and its mission to eliminate repetitive AdOps work through automation. Eric dives into the difference between automation and AI, the future of agentic systems, and why human creativity still matters most in advertising. From scaling ad operations to building compliant AI workflows, this conversation explores where marketing technology is headed next. Takeaways • Automation should eliminate repetitive tasks so teams can focus on strategy and creativity. • AI and automation are complementary, but they are not the same thing. • Human oversight remains critical for compliance, governance, and brand safety. • AI is powerful, but context quality determines the reliability of outputs. • Personalization in advertising may finally become practical with AI and automation. • Agencies want customizable workflows, not one-size-fits-all automation. • Fluency focuses on deterministic workflows that execute advertiser strategies at scale. • Agentic systems will combine rule-based automation with probabilistic AI decision-making.

In this episode, Smith breaks down one of the biggest lies men tell themselves: “I'll do it when I feel like it.” Whether it's training, work, or difficult conversations, waiting for motivation is often the reason nothing changes.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew explore one of the most powerful ideas in personal development: you have control over your mind, but not over outside events.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew take aim at the modern obsession with “high performance” and ask a simple question: are you actually improving, or are you just consuming more stuff? From stoic philosophy to the influence of Peter Crone, they unpack why chasing goals without detaching your worth from the outcome can leave you anxious, frustrated and stuck. Sometimes growth isn't about adding more - it's about stripping things back.

When people hear the word culture, they often think of something big. Something set at the top. Something shaped by company values, leadership retreats, or a mission statement on the wall. But culture doesn't only live at the organizational level. It gets built much closer to the ground. In the day-to-day interactions between a manager and their team. In the habits of a small group. In the trust, clarity, and behavior patterns people experience every single day. Because whether leaders realize it or not, they are constantly shaping small team environments that directly affect performance. My special guest today is Bruce Mayhew, and he's simplifying how to build micro-cultures that boost performance. Here's how. My special guest today is Bruce Mayhew and he's simplifying how to build micro-cultures that boost performance.  We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: What a micro-culture is, and why most organizations underestimate its impact. The difference between culture by design and culture by default. Why culture is built locally through everyday relationships between two people or small teams. Why trust matters more than chemistry when building strong teams, and what leaders should focus on instead of personality fit. Why becoming a people leader should be an intentional choice, not just the default next step in someone's career. And how leaders can support healthy micro-cultures, build loyalty, and lead with integrity without over-controlling the team. Q: Are you needing to learn how to build micro-cultures that boost performance? If yes, this one is for you.

In this episode, Smith dives into the growing conversation around the manosphere, toxic masculinity, and the challenges facing young men today. Rather than mocking or dismissing the movement, he explores why so many men feel drawn to it in the first place. When purpose feels unclear and expectations keep shifting, it's easy to see why simple - even extreme - answers can seem appealing.

Send a textWelcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider sits down with longtime helicopter pilot and safety advocate Nick Mayhew to explore a career shaped by military aviation, hard lessons, and an unwavering commitment to safety.Nick shares his journey from the Royal Navy into helicopter operations, including tense moments in night flying and high-risk environments that reinforced one simple truth: Fatigue, complacency, and small mistakes can have massive consequences.The conversation dives into safety culture, the mission of the US Helicopter Safety Team, and Nick's concept of a “Retirement Checklist” — a mindset built around never cutting corners and always keeping it in the green. At the heart of it all is the belief that aviation must foster a just culture where pilots own outcomes, speak up about close calls, and learn openly from mistakes.With a clear goal of zero fatal accidents, this episode is a powerful reminder that professionalism, humility, and discipline remain the foundation of helicopter safety.Thank you to our sponsors, Hillsboro Heli Academy, Airbus and Precision Aviation Group.

Welcome to Manufacturing Greatness with Trevor Blondeel, where we work with organizations to manufacture greatness by leveraging resources you already have to achieve greater retention, productivity, and profits. To learn more, visit www.manufacturinggreatness.com and click here to subscribe to Trevor's monthly newsletter. Now, let's jump in! In this episode, Bruce Mayhew, corporate trainer, keynote speaker, executive coach, and author, shares insights on manufacturing leadership, communication skills, and trust building for Operations Managers, Production Managers, Manufacturing Managers, and Shift Supervisors. You'll learn why traditional command-and-control leadership no longer works in today's plants — and how curiosity-driven leadership, authentic communication, and continuous improvement help manufacturing leaders close the skills gap, strengthen employee engagement, and drive real team performance. Bruce breaks down how everyday leadership behaviors directly impact culture, safety, accountability, and results — especially as manufacturing organizations face labor shortages, workforce challenges, and generational shifts on the shop floor. This conversation connects soft skills with operational excellence, showing leaders how to move from reaction to intention, from blame to curiosity, and from siloed management to connected leadership. 01:30 – As generational shifts place millennials in leadership roles, it can create tension between siloed leadership and collaborative, flatter manufacturing cultures. 03:49–Purpose and meaning drive effective leadership, stronger relationships, and healthier workplace culture. 06:12–Disconnects between executives and the shop floor weaken teamwork and long-term manufacturing performance. 07:19–Self-awareness and emotional intelligence enable leaders to adapt communication styles across manufacturing teams. 08:58–Respect on the shop floor comes from meeting people where they are, not talking down to them. 09:44–High performance in manufacturing is unlocked through meaningful conversations rather than top-down directives. 16:27–Transparency grows when leaders listen first and elevate frontline voices. 18:33-  Shared pride in quality and reputation strengthens team identity and manufacturing excellence. 20:15–Curiosity-driven leadership replaces blame-focused problem solving with appreciative inquiry. 23:31–Positive exploration increases engagement by empowering teams instead of punishing them. 25:09 - Accountability works best when leaders replace interrogation with curiosity-based performance conversations.

Lawrence returns for a wide-ranging conversation that blends chemistry, physics, and biology with a few surprises along the way. Beyond being a world-class chemist and humate specialist, he shares stories from his past as a motorcycle racer and glass artist, proving great science often comes from creative minds.This episode takes a deep dive into amino acids: how they are produced, how they function within the plant, and why so much of the industry conversation is driven by hype rather than complete science. Lawrence explains how properly formulated amino acids can help reduce nitrogen inputs, improve efficiency, and support plants under stress.We also explore the real role of carbon in fertility programs. Too many products remain plant-focused instead of feeding the soil microbes that drive nutrient availability. By mimicking natural photosynthetic exudates, EarthWorks liquid technologies help create bioavailability in the root zone, even in the challenging environments of golf courses and sports fields.As always, Lawrence delivers a thoughtful and engaging look at how plants truly function and what it takes to build healthier, more resilient turf.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/

It's been more than half a century since the publication of Silent Spring by the scientist and creative writer Rachel Carson. The seminal volume caught the attention of U.S. presidents, artists and musicians, spurring the environmental movement and leading to the eventual ban of the toxic pesticide DDT. Joining the Mongabay Newscast is environmental writer and director of the creative writing program at Middlebury College, Megan Mayhew Bergman. She unpacks the impact of Carson's work, which came under public attack from chemical companies seeking to discredit her, and how, eventually, the truth broke through. "We don't change our minds usually based on data. We change our minds based on emotion, but historically, it's been pretty taboo for scientists to include emotion in the way that they write. And I feel like Carson risked that here in a way that was really powerful." Please take a minute to let us know what you think of our podcast, here. Image: Megan Mayhew Bergman.

Jaimes Mayhew doesn't make “maps.” They make portals.In this short interview from IMMORTAL, Mayhew talks about queer and trans mapping as something way more alive than coordinates and gridlines: a practice built from trust, workshops, inside jokes, conflict, tenderness, and the radical act of imagining together. Their maps don't say “you are here.” They say: we could be elsewhere—if we build it.Mayhew's whole method is collective: start with a room full of people asking deceptively simple questions—What do we need? What do we desire? Who belongs?—then distill those answers into landscapes that refuse perfection. Because perfection is usually just the old world wearing a new wig.The big idea: utopia isn't a destination. It's a rehearsal. A group practice. A messy draft you revise with others. Over and over.Want the full deep-dive?

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into the uncomfortable but transformative truth behind alcohol, identity, and how the smallest habits quietly shape the man you become.

According to Lawrence Mayhew, the EarthWorks chemist, calcium is the most important nutrient in plant production. While that may be debated, Lawrence makes a strong case for why calcium deserves top billing in any fertility program.This episode begins with a discussion about ammonium sulfate and how it can release calcium from the soil colloid, making it more available to plants. Lawrence also explains how the presence of calcium in the soil triggers the release of root exudates, helping the element move into the plant.The conversation explores different calcium sources, such as various forms of limestone and gypsum, and how they behave differently in the soil. Lawrence dives into the redox chemistry of calcium, explaining its true function in the soil and why it does not directly affect pH the way many assume.The discussion wraps up with a look at how calcium operates within the plant and practical ways to improve calcium bioavailability.If you are a fan of soil chemistry and Biological Soil Management, this is a must-listen.

It has often been said that interior design would be a great job if it wasn't for the clients. They can be unappreciative, indecisive, and unreasonable even when their project is on track and bellicose, belligerent, and litigious when things go wrong. In fact, the designer-client relationship which often begins as a love affair can sometimes end tragically in the bitterest of divorces. But is there really such a thing an awkward client, or are any problems just down to poor communications? What can make a good client turn bad? And how can designers effectively manage this most important and sensitive of relationships? Jeff and Susie are joined by  Simon Mayhew from Txtured and James Roberts from James Roberts Interiors to answer these and other questions in front of a live audience of designers at the Design Central North West event at Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire.   Thanks to our series partners Naturalmat for their support.     Chapters (00:00:00) - Intro to the Interior Design Business(00:00:39) - An awkward Client(00:01:41) - Three of the Designers(00:03:06) - Getting Off On The Right Foot With Your Clients(00:04:53) - How To Lead a Design Team With Age(00:08:40) - How To Win A Friend's Over(00:09:18) - Are there any client categories that you avoid?(00:12:38) - On Working With An Angry Partner(00:13:26) - How to manage a big project's budget(00:14:12) - The importance of access to the client(00:16:37) - How to Talk Budget With the Client(00:17:53) - Budgeting in the UK(00:20:15) - Projects' length and timings(00:23:37) - The Challenges of Leading a Project(00:27:29) - The Importance of a Fee Proposal(00:31:17) - Interior Design: Natural Mat(00:35:43) - A Good Team For Tougher Clients(00:38:03) - The Big Picture(00:41:34) - Structural engineers: Quality of design and cost(00:46:37) - "It's like a funeral..."(00:46:53) - How To Read 2-D Plans(00:51:49) - How to Deal with Difficult Contractors(00:53:19) - The On-Site Blame Game(00:58:21) - "When to say enough is enough?"(00:59:00) - What Do You Do When a Client Threatens to Sue You?
