The GP's Mouthwash — Why Business Owners Keep Treating the Wrong Problem

For about a month, Tom Foxley's tongue felt like it was housing a  small mammal.   He knew from the start he should go to the dentist. But she's  expensive and her waiting room has a specific combination of clinical  smell and Radio 2 that he finds miserable. So he went to his GP  instead — easier, more accessible, felt like doing something.   The GP prescribed medication and a mouthwash. His tongue didn't  improve. His teeth started staining. He'd created a new problem by  treating the original one incorrectly.   When he finally booked the dentist, she physically recoiled at what  he'd been prescribed. Thirty minutes later: teeth back to white,  actual solution in hand. Salt water with a pinch of bicarb. Free.  Thirty seconds. Perfect for the problem.   All of it avoidable if he'd just gone to the right person at the start.   In this episode, Tom maps that experience onto the pattern he sees  most consistently in business owners — something that's been off for  a year or longer, that they know is there, but instead of addressing  directly they reach for the accessible option. Podcasts, books,  breathwork, meditation apps. All decent things in the right context.  But for the specific problem of having outgrown the operating system  running the business, they treat the surface. They don't touch the  thing underneath.   Topics covered: - The tongue story — and why it maps perfectly onto how intelligent    business owners avoid their real problem - What it actually means to outgrow your operating system - Why the drive, focus and ability to push through become less    reliable over time — and what that signals - Why reading about this problem won't move anything — and what does - What a proper diagnostic conversation looks like — and what it isn't

Last weekend Tom Foxley had dinner with the most successful man he  knows. Not just commercially — though the numbers are serious. What made him  different was the combination: the external success and a genuine  internal ease. Good health. A marriage that works. In his 60s and  moving through life in a way that's rare enough that you notice it  immediately when you're in the room. After dinner he gave a speech about his wife and the people around  him. Mid-speech, in front of twenty people, he let a few tears fall.  Didn't push through them. Didn't apologise. Just let them be there. The next morning, walking in the Yorkshire Dales, Tom brought it up.  Started to say he thought more business owners should be able to do  that, because — The man stopped him. "Because they'd make better decisions, wouldn't they?" This episode is built around that line. Because the path to building  something real tends to reward suppression — push it down, stay  logical, don't let it get personal. And for a while, that works. But  somewhere it becomes the ceiling. Not the strategy, not the market,  not the team. The fact that the operator has been overriding their  own signal for so long they've lost the ability to read it. Emotions aren't the thing getting in the way of good decisions.  They're part of the data set. Topics covered: - The dinner, the speech and what it means to have nothing to prove - Why suppression doesn't produce better decisions — it produces    incomplete ones - What anger, fear, shame and frustration are carrying that logic    alone cannot generate - Why the hire that doesn't sit right usually isn't right — and what    happens when you stop overriding it - What shifts when operators learn to read rather than suppress - The first rep to start building this as a skill this week

This morning Tom Foxley sat in the garden watching his daughter look  at something in the grass. Just there. Fully. Nothing lost. That sounds unremarkable. For a long time, it would have been  impossible — because Tom is by default a distracted person. Anxious  head, always moving, obsessive about progress in a way that doesn't  switch off when he leaves the desk. For years he told himself it was  just how he was wired. The price of being driven. The honest version looked like: phone out mid-conversation. Wife  talking, part of his brain somewhere else. And the quiet, persistent  belief that he'd be present when things settled down. When the business  was more stable. When this particular pressure lifted. Things don't settle down. You just keep deferring the version of  yourself you actually want to be. In this episode Tom traces what changed — the moment he saw clearly  what kind of father he'd become if nothing shifted, the training that  followed, giving up twice, and what it eventually built. Not just at  home. In the business too. Because the weeks where his mind was most  scattered tracked directly with his worst decision-making, his most  deferred conversations, his most avoided work. Presence isn't a personality type. It's a capacity you build. And you  can start the first rep today. Topics covered: - Why driven, ambitious people are often the worst at being present —    and why they mistake it for a feature - The pattern connecting mental scatter to poor business performance - Why "I'll be present when things settle" is the most expensive lie    in business - What the training actually looked like — including failing and    starting again - What it means to build something you can actually inhabit - Where your attention is right now — and who gets the remainder

Two Kinds of Operator — And the Training That Separates Them

A few years ago, lying in a tent in the Hindu Kush with destroyed legs  and altitude-split lips, Tom Foxley found himself in a conversation  about Everest.   Why it pulls at people. And why, despite that pull, he realised he  didn't want to climb it — not the way most people climb it. Fixed  ropes from base to summit. Guided queues. Infrastructure rebuilt every  season so that people reach the top regardless of whether they were  truly ready.   His climbing partner said something Tom has been turning over ever  since: everyone gets to the top, but everyone who knows the mountain  knows how they got there. That's style.   In this episode, Tom maps that principle onto the two kinds of operator  he sees every week in business. The one who moves constantly but  struggles to name what they actually built today. And the one running  what looks like a similar business — similar revenue, similar team,  similar pressure — but where decisions don't come back, problems stay  solved, and calm is a trained state rather than a lucky one.   The gap between those two operators isn't information, discipline or a  smarter model. It's training. And almost nobody does it — not because  they don't want to, but because nobody told them it was available.   Topics covered: - The Hindu Kush, Everest and what mountaineering style reveals about    business operators - The two kinds of operator — what actually separates them - Why masterminds, accountability and systems are the fixed rope    version of building a business - The difference between engineering around your gaps and closing them - What it looks like when the internal architecture does the work the    external structures used to do - The question worth sitting with this week

You hired a business mentor to shortcut your path to growth.   Now you've got a generic to-do list, a sales system that makes you  feel fake, content bringing in the wrong leads, and advice that doesn't  account for the complexity of your life, your model, your clients, or  your strengths.   In this episode, Tom Foxley makes the case that most business coaching  doesn't work — not because the strategies are wrong, but because they  belong to someone else. Coaches teach what built their business. That  is almost never what will build yours.   What you're really buying from most business mentors is an illusion of  certainty. The social proof, the testimonials, the case studies — those  are the people who naturally aligned with that coach's model. For  everyone else, following the blueprint produces an imitation. A Russian  doll of someone else's business.   The real competitive advantage isn't a better system. It's deeper  self-knowledge. Knowing yourself thoroughly enough to build something  that only you could build — and that fits you so well it stops feeling  like work.   Topics covered: - Why generic business advice produces generic businesses - The illusion of certainty that most coaching is actually selling - Why copying a business model makes you an imitation of your mentor - Naval Ravikant — do what feels like play to you but looks like    work to others - Two real client examples of business owners who scrapped the    standard model and built their own - Why self-knowledge is where real business growth starts

One of his employees slept with his most profitable client. Less than a month into the job.   That was years ago. But he was still running his business.   In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real client case — a business owner who couldn't step back from the day-to-day, couldn't delegate,  couldn't trust his team to do the right thing without him watching.  He micromanaged constantly, hated every minute of it, and was still working the same hours as before he had a team — with more to manage on top.   He hadn't taken his daughter to school in seven years.   The surface problem looked like a management issue. It wasn't. It was a single moment of betrayal that had quietly installed a set of mental blocks around trust, delegation and permission to step away — blocks that no hiring system, management tool or business coach had come close to shifting.   Six weeks after addressing the real issue: 12% added to the bottom  line. A gym session taken mid-morning while his team ran the business.  And a plan in place to take his daughter to school for the first time  in seven years.   As one of Tom's clients put it: "It turns out all of my business  problems were actually personal problems in disguise."   Topics covered: - Why a single team betrayal can create mental blocks that outlast the event by years - Why micromanagement is almost never actually about the team - How guilt and fear combine to keep business owners trapped in the day-to-day - What changes when you address the operator rather than the system - Why most business problems aren't business problems at all

Tom Foxley is having heart surgery. Fully awake. No sedation.   A cardiologist will thread a wire through his groin, navigate it to  his heart, and burn a small section of tissue — while he lies there  conscious for two hours. And there's a small but real chance things  could go wrong.   He's a little bit terrified.   In this episode he shares what that experience has surfaced — and  specifically, the old toolkit he noticed himself reaching for. The one  from Royal Marines training. Ignore it. Push through. Don't feel it.  Be a man.   That toolkit is extraordinary when you're being prepared for combat.  It's what gets you through the unsurvivable. But when you're running  a complex business, training for ultras, trying to be a present  husband and father — it becomes the handbrake. And most high-performing  business owners are driving with it on.   This episode is about what he's been doing instead — and what shifted  when he stopped suppressing the fear and started training his capacity  to feel it.   Topics covered: - Why suppress-and-push-through works short term and costs you long term - What unprocessed fear actually does to business performance - How to train emotional capacity the same way you train physical capacity - What changed when Tom stopped ignoring the surgery and started    working with the emotion instead - What this means practically for how you show up this week

Winds that knocked people  off their feet. Hail that made it necessary to walk backwards. A wild  camp at minus five degrees. And at the end of the day's hiking — a  lake, in freezing water, with everyone watching each other wondering  if Tom was actually serious.   He was.   This episode is the debrief.

Some business owners go through a crisis and fall apart. Others come  out sharper, more capable, more certain of what they're building.   Same difficulty. Completely different outcome.   In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down the science behind why — drawing  on a landmark paper on post-traumatic growth by Richard Tedeschi and  Lawrence Calhoun. The same mechanisms that produce growth after major  life trauma are the same ones that determine whether a business owner  grows through the difficult periods in their business.   The headline finding from the research: it's not the hard event that  creates the growth. It's the struggle with it. The willingness to go  into it, sit with it, and let it update your understanding of the world  and your place in it.   Tom translates the framework into practical terms — what the  preconditions for growth actually are, why emotional avoidance is the  single biggest brake on development, and why most business coaching  misses the thing that actually moves the needle.   Topics covered: - Why some people grow through difficulty and others are broken by it - The preconditions for real growth — and what blocks every one of them - Why willingness to feel outperforms toughness every time - Self-disclosure — the first and most essential step in the growth process - The difference between useful and destructive rumination - Why struggle is the mechanism of growth, not the obstacle to it - Three things to do differently this week

Sprinting in Every Direction and Going Nowhere — What Hustle Fragility Actually Looks Like

You're not lazy. You're not lacking effort.   You're sprinting in every direction — and going nowhere.   In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a  business owner who arrived at a session already running on empty.  Financial pressure building in the background. A key relationship at  home temporarily disconnected. Publicly called out in a group coaching  environment for not having done something sooner. A staff situation  unresolved. All of it hitting at once.   The surface diagnosis was stress. The real diagnosis was hustle  fragility — a system built for output that has no mechanism for  handling load.   Drawing on Nassim Taleb's anti-fragility framework and the Biosphere 2  experiment, Tom makes the case that resilience — just pushing through,  staying tough, not letting it affect you — is the wrong goal. The  strongest systems in nature don't survive stress. They get stronger  because of it.   That's what this episode is about. Not how to reduce the pressure. How  to build the kind of operator who can be still inside it.   Topics covered: - Why hustle builds the business and then breaks the operator - Fragile, resilient, anti-fragile — and where most business owners    are actually sitting - The Biosphere 2 trees — what perfect conditions without stress    actually produce - Stillness in the storm — the skill underneath every high performer    who operates well under load - One question to ask this week when the pressure stacks up

Why Resilience Isn't Enough — The Case for Becoming Anti-Fragile

Most business owners think resilience is the goal. It isn't. In this episode, Tom Foxley opens with a story from the Biosphere 2  project in 1990s Arizona — a sealed, controlled environment designed to  create perfect conditions for growth. The trees grew faster than anything  in the wild. They also fell over before reaching maturity. The reason: no wind. No stress. No stress wood. Without resistance, the  trees never developed the structural density they needed to stand on  their own. Drawing on Nassim Taleb's three-level framework — fragile, resilient,  anti-fragile — Tom makes the case that the business owners who plateau  aren't the ones who face too much stress. They're the ones who've spent  years trying to insulate themselves from it. Resilience means you can absorb the hit. Anti-fragility means the hit  makes you stronger. That's the goal — and it requires a fundamentally  different relationship with hardship, pressure, and discomfort. Topics covered: - The Biosphere 2 experiment and what it reveals about performance under pressure - Fragile vs resilient vs anti-fragile — and why most owners are stuck at level two - Why stress is not the enemy of growth — it's the mechanism of it - What dosing yourself with the right stress actually looks like - One question to ask yourself this week

Most business owners who are stuck think they have a team problem. They don't. They have an identity problem. In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a business owner with his finger in every pie, always overworked, always the one everyone defaulted to. His team weren't taking ownership. He assumed they weren't good enough. When they looked under the hood, they found something different entirely. He was manufacturing the dependency. His need to be seen as important, competent, in control — his self-image — was the system producing the exact behaviour he resented. He'd never cut the umbilical cord, because  cutting it would mean no longer being the hero. And here's the trap: it had worked. That identity — the hustler, the person who does everything, the one the business can't run without — got him to a genuinely successful level. The same identity was now the cap on everything he was trying to build next. Tom unpacks the pattern, the three-step process for catching it in real time, and the principle that runs underneath every plateau he sees in high-performing business owners: we all have a skin that once kept us safe — and at some point, we have to shed it. Topics covered: - The self-image trap and how it manufactures team dependency - Why hustle and urgency are fragility in disguise - How the same identity that builds the business becomes the ceiling on it - The snake shedding its skin — and why it's meant to be uncomfortable - One action this week: write down the identity that got you here

Most leaders think their team has a performance problem. They don't. They have a reinforcement problem. In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a business owner whose team kept falling short of the standards he expected. Tasks not done. Gym floor not cleaned. Google reviews not chased. And every time, he stepped in and picked up the slack. What looked like a team problem was actually a system problem. And he'd built the system. Tom unpacks the Child Effects Model — the psychological loop that explains how leadership cultures form without anyone consciously choosing them — and makes the case for why the halftime team talk style of leadership actively suppresses the performance it's trying to produce. He also shares two stories that reframe how most leaders think about recognition: one from a weightlifting gym, and one from a military  stalking exercise — both of which show why public praise is one of the most underused performance tools in business. Topics covered: - The Child Effects Model — how you accidentally trained your team to underperform - Why criticism suppresses performance and praise compounds it - The shaping principle — rewarding steps toward the standard, not just the standard - Criticise privately.

Most business owners think indecision is a confidence problem. It isn't. In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a business  owner stalling on decisions he already knew how to make. Not because he  lacked knowledge. Not because the decisions were unclear. But because a  part of him was actively blocking action to protect something more  important to it than progress: his image. Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. A leader people respect. That's what it was trying to preserve. And its logic was airtight — if  you make a wrong call, people see you differently. So don't make the call. The cruel irony: by protecting the image of a decisive leader, it was  making him less of one. Tom unpacks the psychological mechanism underneath chronic indecision, the hidden belief that keeps high performers paralysed, and the two tools he used in the session to move from stalling to a clear decision in real time — including Fear Setting and the Decision Journal. Topics covered: - The protection mechanism underneath indecision — and why it made sense once - The belief "I need to feel confident to decide well" — and why it's backwards - Fear Setting — how to make a clear call when you're stuck in your head - The Decision Journal — building the track record that teaches you to trust yourself - One daily rep to start building the decisiveness muscle

Most business owners assume plateaus are strategy problems. Wrong market. Wrong model. Wrong team. Wrong timing. But the most common plateau Tom Foxley sees in high-performing business owners has nothing to do with strategy. It's an identity problem — and it's one of the hardest to see, because the identity causing the ceiling is the same one that built the business in the first place. In this episode, Tom breaks down a real coaching case — a business owner coming off his best month ever, who kept finding himself drawn back to the work he'd built his identity around, even as the business needed something different from him entirely. The craftsman who needs to become the CEO. The coach who needs to become the leader. The expert who needs to step back and orchestrate instead of play. It's not a promotion. It's a death and a rebirth. And most people avoid it. Tom unpacks the three layers underneath the pattern, introduces a research-backed tool for navigating identity-level transitions, and closes with the one question every business owner needs to sit with when growth stalls.

Most high performers treat rest like a prize. Something you earn when the work is done. When the inbox is clear. When there's nothing left outstanding. The problem: there's always something left outstanding. So they never really stop. And they wonder why they've hit a ceiling. In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a business owner running at six days a week, ten-hour days, who couldn't understand why performance felt harder the more effort he put in. The answer wasn't more strategy or better systems. It was simpler and more uncomfortable than that: he was a depleted operator trying to build a high-performing business. One weekend changed everything — not because of what he did, but because of what he didn't do.

High performers don't have a capability problem. They have a self-direction problem. In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a successful business owner who knew exactly what needed doing, had the time to do it, and kept waiting for someone else to make it urgent enough to act. The business plan that needed six hours? Hadn't been started. The life goal he'd wanted for years? Sitting with a December deadline that guaranteed nothing would move until November. This is the urgency addiction — and it's one of the most common patterns Tom sees in driven, successful people. The same responsiveness that built the business becomes the thing that stalls the next level. Because the most important goals in your life will never come with someone else's deadline attached. Tom unpacks three layers underneath the pattern — the hustle identity that struggles to self-generate momentum, the head/heart split that keeps people waiting for permission to want what they already want, and Parkinson's Law quietly expanding every important task to fill whatever time you give it. And he walks through exactly what they worked on — including a thought experiment that cuts through the noise and shows you what's actually possible when you stop waiting.

In this episode, Tom Foxley breaks down a real coaching case — a business owner juggling two businesses who was oscillating between sharp, decisive leadership one week and foggy avoidance the next. Identity rising and falling with momentum. Standards being held, then softened. Hard conversations being had, then cushioned. Tom unpacks the three psychological patterns underneath the swing: the worst-case thinking that masquerades as careful decision-making, the "niceness" that's actually self-protection, and the identity that depends too heavily on external conditions.

In my mind, the conversation we're diving into today might just change the way you think about wellness and personal growth. It's an episode that beckons you to slow down, listen intently, and embrace the complexities of your inner voice. So, strap in—it's a transformative ride. The insights shared today are particularly timely and universal, touching on everything from the stark realities shaped by COVID-19 to the intertwined nature of our physical and mental health. I've been reflecting on these topics non-stop with colleagues and loved ones, sparking some of the most profound discussions we've ever had. If you've ever questioned how to truly balance the cacophony of life... ...or pondered the real effects of trauma and limiting beliefs on your personal journey... ...or if you're seeking a path that respects both the masculine and feminine energies within us all, then you're in the right place. Today, I'm thrilled to be joined by Diane Younes, a pioneer in the realm of mindset and wellness. Diane's insights not only illuminate the importance of listening to our innermost selves but also guide us in harnessing intuition and embracing life's inevitable ebbs and flows. This episode is packed with stories and pivotal moments that will challenge you to rethink your approach to life's hurdles and victories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before we delve in, here's a quick update on The Adventurepreneur Collective. Our community has reached a new milestone, and I'm ecstatic to say we're fully booked for April! However, the journey doesn't stop here. We are now opening applications for May's intake.

This experience is crafted for those ready to dive deep. With the group capped at 40 members, we ensure a tailored and intimate setting—currently, we are welcoming only 4 new adventurers each month.

In my mind, the podcast you're about to listen to could be the most important podcast I've ever recorded. I'll prep you, it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster. So be warned. The emotional highs and lows are worth it though because the lessons are the ones we all need to hear. I haven't stopped talking about it with my friends and family since I finished it up. If you've ever wondered what really makes a good life… …or what people really regret in their final years… …or what most people wish they had done differently in their lives, then this is the podcast for you.   Today, I am interviewing Heath Piper, the founder of Playback Interviews. Heath interviews the life stories of the elderly so their families have a deeply personal memoir. Even though these interviews are strictly confidential to the families, Heath has given us an insight into the lessons that have moved him most, both emotionally and forward in life. This podcast is rife with stories and lessons. --- Before I get to the show, I want to give you a very quick update on my coaching services because things are shifting.   The Adventurepreneur Collective has evolved and has become what I've always been longing to coach: how to be who you're supposed to be. We cover three essential topics: how to stop living a life that doesn't make you into who you're supposed to be, how to stop feeling frantic, imprecise and rushed, and how to rid yourself of an unclear mind.   Anyway, here's the update: I'm changing the way I deliver this coaching & making it far more of a deep experience. I'm only working with those who apply & fit the bill, and I'm limiting the membership to 40 members at any one time. What's more, I'm only going to be accepting 4 new sign ups per month. The group is currently 15 strong, with another two joining in the April batch. So there's only two more spaces to be had before May. If you're interested in exploring what more freedom, self mastery, and effectiveness would do in your life, shoot me a message on Instagram. You'll need to head to instagram and search for my name, Tom Foxley. --- Now, let's get on with an incredible show with Heath Piper, I think you're going to love this one.

What separates success from failure has less to do with talent and effort and more to do with how we can handle the task at hand. Yet many people overlook the importance of going into each task with a clear intent and expectation. Negative self talk, overzealous expectations, and the misunderstanding of how our THOUGHTS manifest into our ACTIONS keeps many people stuck.Developing the discipline to take a few short minutes to train your brain may make the difference in not only your next training session, your next meal, or your next competition, but also the joy and excitement we get out of the pursuit of those things.

One huge topic we cover is the difficult balance of femininity and the masculine parts of athleticism. This one goes deep and we dive into appearance and social pressure to look like everyone else. Stefi is an incredible human. She is one of those rare breeds who seemingly excels in multiple areas of life. Plus, she's a lovely human being. Stefi is a 25x world record holding powerlifter and the first woman in the history of the sport to deadlift 4.4 times her bodyweight. She recently took a break from the platform and transitioned to professional boxing (1-0-1). She is also a doctor of physical therapy and exercise physiologist who is passionate about education and bringing her audience a "no B.S." evidence-based view of all things training and nutrition through her company, HYBRID Performance Method. Stefi is also the co-author of Back in Motion with Dr. Ian Kaplan and co-host of the HYBRID Unlimited podcast. The main topic of conversation: how a beneficial mindset is often found between two oppositional factors: Hard work and self-compassion Professionalism and relaxing Masculinity and femininity Force and passivity Recovery and work It's a balancing act that we must seek to maintain. We also discuss: Self-doubt and how to deal with it Trusting the process Those moments of discovery which are uncomfortable Never loving powerlifting Femininity in a “masculine” sport, and identity challenges around that.

Coach Tom Foxley is the Founder of Mindset Rx`d and helps athletes perform at their best both physically and mentally. He`s worked with athletes at the highest levels of the CrossFit Games, Jiu Jitsu, boxing, and others, so we had a great time diving deep into building a powerful mindset, dealing with pain, and ending self-sabotage. Max Out Insights: Your performance comes down to your story - the beliefs you have about yourself and the world. Limiting beliefs sabotage your ability to succeed when it matters most If you`re struggling mentally at crunch time, it`s because you haven`t addressed it outside of crunch time. If you want to be great it competition, you need to prepare to be great in practice. Competing from a place of lack/not being good enough can derail our performance. Instead, switch to a place of gratitude for past performance. Focus on the skills/talents/opportunities that you do have rather than the ones you don`t, and you will see your motivation soar When you`re lost in the woods (metaphorically or literally), don`t start by asking “Where should I go?” Instead ask first: “Where am I? What`s my point A?” Then: “Where am I going?” What is your story? I`m not good enough? I never manage to do this? I`m a perfectionist? Observe your Inner Athlete/your subconscious beliefs: Journaling is a great tool to identify what`s on your mind. If there`s something you don`t want to write, write it down immediately to shine light on the shadows. We tend to reject chaos because it scares us, but it`s also the only way to grow Max Out Quotes: “If we put you in the right state, optimal performance just happens.” “If we can create harmony amongst the different areas of our lives, our performance just steps up in the areas that you want it to.” “The way we grow is by moving from order to chaos and thereby increasing our areas of competence.” “Chaos is just order waiting to be deciphered.” “When the gratitude for the things you do have outweighs the yearning for the things you don`t have, that`s when you`ll feel good.” “It`s in the darkness that we find the biggest treasure. To find out what you`re truly capable of, you need to venture into the unknown.”

As a kid, Tom Foxley was diagnosed with a heart condition that doctors said could kill him. That news turned Tom into a weak, timid 14-year-old. This lasted until at age 17 a college professor read an extract from a book. The extract flipped how Tom viewed the world and himself. He learned to embrace intensity and discomfort. Tom changed his life by mastering his mindset. He joined an elite branch of the British Military before setting up Inner Athlete Performance Camps and Mindset RX'd Seminars where he trains elite athletes.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to the Alpha Movement Podcast. My name is Tom Foxley and this is another episode in the Mindset Rx'd series. In the minset Rx'd series, I'm going to show you the building blocks of the Champ's mindset and how to apply that to your sport. We'll be talking to the best coaches, athletes and experts in the world to show you the steps to mastering your inner athlete. On today's episode, I am joined by Jason Philips. He works with a lot of top performers in the CrossFit world as well as the general public. He's also been through a lot of personal struggles as you will see. What I like about his approach is that it's so common sense. He doesn't force square pegs into round holes but approaches nutrition with common sense. Providing a great balance between all the far leaning thoughts on nutrition. Today, we discuss the psychology of diet. How do we develop consistency in our diet? Why do people fall of track? What struggles do people typically come across? We also tackle some big subjects such as eating disorders. All in all, this was one of my favourite episodes of recent times and I'm sure loads of you will get some golden nuggets from Jason. So, let's get on with the show. --------------- Intensity Tolerance: https://www.amazon.com/Intensity-Tolerance-Yourself-Believed-Possible-ebook/dp/B06XK8T95G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1491570278&sr=8-3&keywords=tom+foxley   The "Impossible" Art of Consistency: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1544780540/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491570278&sr=8-2&keywords=tom+foxley
