Today’s conversation is with Dan Wallace.
Dan is former Olympic and World Champion swimmer.
Dan had an incredible decorated career, winning a Gold medal at The Commonwealth Games, a Silver medal at The Olympic Games and also winning Gold at the 2015 World Championships.
Expect to learn what it took for Dan to escape the comfort zone of the UK and move to the US to pursue his swimming career, the importance of getting around and pushing yourself against the very best, the self talk and preparation required to perform at your very peak in the highest pressure environments, what it was like going head to head with Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, as well as why Dan retired at the tender age of 24.
Beyond these points, I know you’re going to get a lot from Dan’s perspectives on achieving your potential, working in an area of passion, and keeping your love for an an activity after it becomes your income.
Oh and I think you’re going to leave hearing about Dan’s recent insane cold water and channel swims.

Expect to learn the role family and environment played alongside desire and passion in Rory pursuing a career in pro rugby, the value he got from the famous energy and linguistic skills of his grandfather Bill McLaren, and how to thrive in a competitive environment.
Rory shares insights and guidance on leadership qualities, how best to create culture within an organisation and team, dealing with a change in identity and lifestyle, setting an example as a father, and much more.

Today’s conversation is with Sean Conway.
Sean is an internationally acclaimed ultra-endurance athlete, author, and a renowned motivational speaker.
Expect to learn how Sean came to understand the two different animals within himself, the value of leaning into activities and ventures which truly serve you, what it takes to push the mind and body to the very limit in being the first, furthest and fastest in a variety of physical challenges, and why it’s not too late to make a change in your life.
Sean really embodies this last lesson as he reshaped his life from self-professed ordinary man to a 43-year-old record-breaking endurance athlete. Many of you will have heard Sean speak before about his physical endeavours and we certainly cover those here including accidentally becoming the first person to swim the length of Britain. But we’ve aimed to go deeper with this conversation and I think you’re going to take a lot of away about mindset, clarity, and living in alignment.

Today’s conversation is a solo podcast, but not a Q&A.
It’s 23 Thoughts after turning 32 Years Old.
Turning around year older is a great time to pause and reflect. It’s something I’ve made a habit of doing over the last few years.
Taking time to stop, review, assess and then share the biggest lessons and reflections from the past 12 months.
It’s become tradition to produce a solo podcast. n 2022, my 30 thoughts at 30. Last year, my 13 thoughts at 31.
This year, you can expect to hear my reflections on family, fitness, podcasting, sales, politics, mindset and much more.

Dr Julie is an executive performance coach who has spent the past 14 years working with top executives, talent, and teams operating in fast-paced, competitive environments.

Expect to learn why you should set unreasonably high standards for yourself, how to tap into every emotion as fuel for your success, the secret advantages you can unlock through boredom, why the rules are not for you, and much more.

Dan is an Entrepreneur, author, and Business & Mindset Coach.
Having last interviewed Dan on episode 77 back in June 2021, it is a pleasure to host him again on the show.
I’ve been a consumer of Dan’s content from 2015 and have taken on a lot of actionable advice over the years and I know you’re going to get a lot from this episode today.
Expect to learn the biggest misconception people have about happiness, how to define your joy to get clear on what you really want, how to reject society’s expectations if it’s not what you actually desire, the advantage of being shameless, why ‘it is what it is’ is good advice but can be better, some of the biggest challenges Dan has faced in being truly happy, and much more actionable advice on ensuring in your pursuit of success that you find happiness on the way too.
Listeners to this podcast are predisposed to being ambitious and pushing forward, most of us aren’t shy of hard work. I know today’s insights will help ensure you get clear, grow your business, earn the money, and be happy living life your way.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We discuss the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research.

Today’s conversation is with Matt Smith.
Matt is a serial tech entrepreneur and the founder of Upitch.
This episode is an entrepreneurial story of love, greed, ambition, glory, Cancer, bankruptcy and pain.
Expect to learn what business life was like at the start of the .com and internet era, the dos and don’ts of scaling and selling a business, what happens when you hit rock bottom financially, how to identify the right business partners and staff to complement your skillset, the value of humour in the darkest of times, and Matt’s plan to create 1 million new millionaires.

Hussle is, of course, available to individuals, but what is really exciting is that companies can now partner with Hussle to give their staff members fitness access as an employee benefit.

Today’s conversation is with Ruari Fairbairns.
Ruari is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, podcast host and Ted-X Speaker.
Having built a successful career as an oil broker, Ruari went on a journey to redefine his relationship with alcohol and has gone onto build and inspire a movement that empowers others and challenge society's perceptions about alcohol.
Expect to learn the potential cost alcohol can have on health, productivity, and relationships, the deep rooted societal impact of alcohol, the power forces, traditions and advertising spend which engrains it into so much of our lives, and why you don’t have to conform.
Ruari offers insights into his journey of breaking free from alcohol, emphasising the benefits on mental clarity, physical health, and personal success. Like any time I’ve discussed a conscious reframing of alcohol and elective sobriety on the podcast, this episode does not necessarily address those impacted by Alcohol Use Disorder or an addiction to the substance. Today’s conversation is primarily focused on seeing where alcohol is holding uni back from your potential and seeing what you could unlock.
Ruari shares some amazing data that just 6% of people want to give up alcohol completely, but the vast majority of the remainder surveyed do want to reduce their intake and reassess their relationship. I know this episode can help you do that.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Robert Glover.
Dr Glover is a therapist, coach and author.
Being nice has long been held up as a positive trait and something we should aim for. But that is a big mistake and Nice Guy Syndrome is harming you and those around you.
In today’s episode, expect to learn where nice guy syndrome comes from, how Dr Glover himself is a recovering nice guy, the danger of the three covert contracts, how we can become integrated males, the impact on romantic relationships and business dealings of overcoming the nice guy trap.
It was a pleasure to host Dr Glover on the show and we went deep on the theory but as ever this episode is fiercely practical with actions you can take away to improve your life.

Today’s conversation is with Oliver Burkeman.
Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals.
Our relationship with time management and productivity is a complicated one and often a flawed one. The type of person who listens to a podcast like this one knows the importance of managing time and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be trying to fit in more and achieve more in the time you have.
Expect to learn how not to fall into the efficiency trap, the importance of recognising the limitations on your time, questions you can ask yourself on what activities you should do, what your goals with time could be to feel more fulfilled, and the danger of having productivity debt.
Oliver is my favourite author and thinker on the topic of all things productivity and time management, I know you’re going to benefit from assessing your relationship with productivity and time, as well as, of course, some practical tools you can use too.

Today’s conversation is with The Critical Drinker.
Critical Drinker reviews, analyses and commentates on various forms of entertainment, primarily movies and TV shows. His YouTube channel has grown to over 2 million subscribers in the last few years and for very good reason.
Modern cinema is in a mess. It is now a lot less about entertainment and instead is focusing on pushing social, cultural and political ideologies.
Expect to hear why Hollywood has decided to push the progressive woke message, why Rotten Tomato reviews between fans and critics are so different, just what on earth has happened to the once great Star Wars brand, the process of fan baiting, and so much more.
DEI hiring policies and culture has come under the microscope in recent weeks after the failed assassination attempt of Donald Trump, very few places have been worse impacted by DEI than cinema and I think we all long for a time when movies entertain us like they used to.
It was great to host Critical Drinker on the show and he really is carrying the torch for Scottish creators on YouTube, so please show your support for this episode and share it with a friend or family member or even your Instagram story so that someone else in your life tunes in and joins the CamBro listenership this week.

Today’s conversation is with Connor Beaton.
Connor is a men’s life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author focusing on men’s wellness and personal growth.
The modern narrative for men is confusing with conflicting messages around opening up about our struggles all while being a stoic man and having your shit together.
Expect to learn why all work starts in pain, the one rule of men, why there is a delta between society’s expectations and men’s realities, the myth of male vulnerability, successful mechanisms for real change, and the key steps Connor took to unfuck his life.
I’ve followed Connor’s work closely for over 18 months and know he has such strong contributions to the discussion and, of course, the actions around a better future for men, their wellbeing and lives. It was a privilege to host Connor on the show and I hope you all get huge value from the insights in the next hour. If you did, please take the time to share this episode with a friend, we really do grow and make an impact one recommendation at a time.

Today’s conversation is with David Pinsof.
David is the Co-Creator of Cards Against Humanity, Researcher at UCLA Mind Labs and popular blogger on human motivation.
We are often guilty of telling ourselves a story that explains why we want particular things, particular achievements, and particular experiences. The why and stories behind these are often very flattering, and make us sound noble, but ultimately are really bullshit. We do not truly understand our motivations, and this is part of the human experience.
Expect to learn why everything is bullshit, the difference between bullshitting and lying, why it’s hard to admit you want status, why it’s so important to outperform the previous generation, and why suffering is a vital part of life.

Today, the guest is me and I answer the Questions sent in by the listeners over Instagram, on my new Patreon and on my email list.
These include my thoughts on over 25 questions including the political situation in the UK post general election, getting therapy, taking the handbrake off in life, truly happy memories, and if society is really finished and doomed…
Not the lightest and airiest of topics for that question, but I hope my answer on it isn’t all doom and gloom.
