How To See Things From other People's Point Of View: SUMO

July 05, 2024 02:00 - 7 minutes

Most things are not black and white and there is huge value in embracing that. Paul McGee is the best-selling author of SUMO - Shut Up and Move On - which has been selling like the proverbial hot cakes for well over a decade. In this bitesize clip, Paul cleverly illustrates that we need to recognise that people see things in different ways. Embracing different perspectives is a good and healthy thing. Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite...

Olympic Champions are NORMAL people, 'Success' does not actually change you in any fundamental way: Eve Muirhead

July 01, 2024 04:00 - 49 minutes

My guest this week is a titan in the world of British sport – Eve Muirhead, who of course won curling gold for Team GB at the last winter Olympics. Curling is that sport that absolutely grips the attention when the winter Olympics is on – and then doesn’t get quite the same level of coverage the rest of the time. This episode is really about understanding that gold medal winners – or successful people of any category for that matter – are still just normal people. Achieving success or fame or...

How To Embrace Rules To Rise Above Destructive Impulses: Former Spy Shane Parrish

June 28, 2024 03:00 - 8 minutes

Human beings are animals, and as such we have typical mammalian impulses, like being tribal and territorial. These base impulses can get us in trouble, but in this bitesize episode Shane Parrish shares a brilliant way to embrace the power of self-imposed rules to stop you from doing or saying something you will later regret. The advice in this episode is brilliant, and references the brilliant author of Thinking, Fast and Slow Daniel Kahneman. Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Lo...

Recognising Your Attachment Style - and rethinking the 'Anxious-Avoidant trap': Relationship expert Adam Lane-Smith

June 24, 2024 02:00 - 55 minutes

Do you know what attachment style you are? Whether you are secure, anxious, avoidant or a bit of a mix – your attachment style developed in childhood as a result of your relationships with your parents and primary caregivers, which then likely shapes what type of relationships you have for the rest of your life. That is, unless you can become aware of an insecure attachment style, and work to heal it. My guest is an attachment specialist Adam Lane Smith. In this episode you will learn about t...

How To Develop True Resilience By Embracing Being Over Continual Doing: Steve Magness

June 21, 2024 03:00 - 8 minutes

“All of humanity's problems, stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” - Blaise Pascal This bitesize episode is with Steve Magness, best-selling author of Do Hard Things. It's all about developing genuine resilience, but the beauty of this conversation is in recognising that one of the best ways of truly 'toughening up' is to sit still without distractions. To embrace simply being over continual and habitual doing. So, don't just do something - sit there! Champion Thinking: H...

Finding Calm Amid the Chaos: Jason Fox

June 17, 2024 01:00 - 49 minutes

Jason Fox is a former Special Forces soldier, an adventurer, TV personality and author. This is Foxy's second appearance on the show, and in this conversation he shares what he perceives as the four life cycles we all go through, including periods of chaos and calm. How can we embrace and thrive in the former, while maximising our recovery in the latter? Expect to find out about how to find hidden moments of calm in daily life, the importance of having 'missions' to make the most of your time...

How To Develop Your Acceptance Muscle: Jenna Ashford - elite athlete, hardcore meditator and psychologist

June 14, 2024 01:00 - 10 minutes

There are few skills as important to develop as acceptance. Psychological flexibility – which is described as our ability to make contact with the present moment fully and without defence, is all about acceptance. When we feel uncomfortable – our thoughts typically try and drag us away from the source of apparent discomfort. But discomfort is a part of life, particularly if we want to live life to the full, and so learning to lean in and embrace it is where the gold lies. Jenna Ashford is an ...

Why You Need To Embrace Slow Productivity: Professor Cal Newport

June 10, 2024 01:00 - 1 hour

Rates of burnout are higher than ever before, and continue to head in the wrong direction. We have more inputs in a week than many people had in a lifetime 100 years ago. We have prehistoric brains in a futuristic world. So what's the answer? Professor Cal Newport argues that we need to embrace slow productivity. Instead of getting lost in busy-ness, and 'pseudo-productivity', we need to slow down and prioritise quality. We discuss the importance of doing fewer things to allow for deeper focu...

How To Communicate Clearly: BBC master communicator Ros Atkins

June 07, 2024 01:00 - 8 minutes

If you want to get along with other people, and therefore be able to get ahead, being able to communicate clearly is a fundamental skill. In this age of chatbots and remote work, one thing that cannot be outsourced to machines are decent communication skills. And yet, so many people in so many industries speak in a language and jargom that makes it difficult to actually understand what they are saying. And that is a big mistake. Simplicity is key, as the BBCs master communicator Ros Atkins ca...

How To Recognise You are Innately 'Enough', And Its Relationship With Having Enough And Doing Enough: Becky Hall

June 03, 2024 02:00 - 1 hour

Enough is an underrated word. If more people recognised we are all innately 'enough', then the world would likely look very different. Becky Hall is the author of 'The Art of Enough', and she explains the relationship between being enough, having enough and doing enough. The sense of not being enough is so prevalent and drives so many fear-based behaviours we see in the world. In reconnecting with our innate 'enough-ness' we move into a state of ease and flow. My book Champion Thinking: How T...

Improve Your Emotional Intelligence: Daniel Goleman

April 19, 2024 00:00 - 12 minutes

"If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships - then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far." That is one of Daniel Goleman’s quotes about emotional intelligence, which was also the title of his best-selling book – which outlined a compelling argument as to why EQ matters more than IQ. In this bitesize episode, Daniel brea...

Letting Go Of Outcomes: Kevin Clifton

April 15, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour

"Letting go is one of the most efficacious tools by which to reach spiritual goals." - David Hawkins This conversation is about the power of letting go of outcomes, identity and attachments. It is paradoxically incredibly hard, and easy, at the same time. Letting go allows us to free ourselves from the burdens of the past and live fully in the present moment. This is a re-released episode with the delightful Kevin Clifton while I take a short break, but we will be back with some big plans and...

Confidence Comes From Preparation: Sam Warburton

April 12, 2024 00:00 - 7 minutes

"One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation." - Arthur Ashe So many of the elite performers I have spoken to over the last six years have exuded confidence. But what makes them so confident in their abilities? The answer — preparation! Once the building blocks are in place, you can let go and surrender to what happens. That's when magic happens. Hours of meticulous preparation allows top performers like Wales rugby legend Sam Warburton ...

The Darker Side of 'High Performance' - Caitlyn Jenner

April 05, 2024 00:00 - 8 minutes

You cannot fill an inner void with accomplishments and approval. The reality is, many 'high performers' are driven by a desire to compensate for emotional wounds. This isn’t to cast judgement on so called "successful" people – it is just to suggest that putting them on a pedestal is simplistic and frequently overlooks deeper truths. This week's bitesize guest is Caitlyn Jenner - who won Olympic Decathlon Gold in 1976 as Bruce Jenner - and whose house in LA I visited to record the full length ...

Embracing Continuous Evolution: Ebony Rainford-Brent

April 03, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour

To evolve is to survive. Former England cricketer turned TMS pundit Ebony Rainford-Brent suffered a huge personal tragedy when she was just five, her oldest brother died after being a victim of knife crime. Ebony also grew up without much material wealth, and aged 19, she suffered a serious back injury which meant she could barely walk and faced never playing sport again. Despite sinking into a deep depression, those experiences eventually shaped her future. My book Champion Thinking: How To...

The Key to Happiness: Accept Yourself - with Nigel Owens

April 01, 2024 00:00 - 1 hour

You’re always going to be you, therefore it’s better to accept yourself as you are than to try to be something you’re not. In this episode, which was recorded live at the Hay festival, Nigel Owens shares the vital lessons he learnt about self-acceptance, after coming close to taking his own life because of an inability to accept his sexuality. My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself - is now on general release. Drawing on some of my favourite interviews over th...

Embracing Hard Conversations: Kate & Helen Richardson-Walsh

March 29, 2024 01:00 - 11 minutes

It can be so easy to let resentments build and sweep things under the carpet, to avoid having the difficult conversation because you know it will be uncomfortable. But – sweeping issues under the carpet is not a recipe for harmony, whether in business, families, relationships of teams. Issues and feelings need to be faced and processed. Two people who are well aware of this are Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh who were part of the team that made history by becoming the first British women's si...

JASMIN PARIS SPECIAL - How To Be Superhuman

March 23, 2024 11:51 - 51 minutes

How to juggle family, career and record breaking ultra running, while remaining utterly down to earth, with ultrarunning legend Jasmin Paris. Jasmin has become the first ever woman to finish the notorious Barkley Marathons race in America, made up of five punishing 20-mile loops around the Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee. Paris’s finishing time was 59 hours, 58 minutes and 21 seconds – 99 seconds inside the 60-hour cut-off. This isn't her first superhuman rodeo though, in 2019 Jasmin won...

Don't Focus On The Outcome: Sir Chris Hoy

March 22, 2024 01:00 - 9 minutes

It's not about the end goal, it's about enjoying the steps along the way. I had the pleasure of catching up with Sir Chris Hoy recently, and it reminded me that he is one of those relatively rare high performers who retain humility and stay truly grounded while enjoying huge success, as he did in winning gold medals at three Olympic Games. So many people put so much stock in the outcome alone, and what it supposedly says about them as a person, that they don't enjoy what they do for its own s...

How To Sit With Difficult Emotions: Clarke Carlisle

March 15, 2024 02:00 - 8 minutes

What are you like at sitting with difficult emotions - like fear, sadness or anger? Let's be honest, it's not fun. But our ability to sit with discomfort is so important, although most of us tend to distract ourselves where possible, which is much easier these days with the digital distraction devices in our pockets. Clarke Carlisle explains how he has learned to sit with his emotions, and how he has taught the language of emotions to his children - an extremely valuable exercise that we use ...

FLOW - Part 2: Jonny Wilkinson, Damon Hill, Frankie Dettori, Goldie Sayers & Jos Buttler

March 13, 2024 01:00 - 35 minutes

Jonny Wilkinson, Damon Hill, Frankie Dettori, Goldie Sayers and Jos Buttler share their experiences of flow. This follows on from the last episode in which Alex and I discussed how to get more moments of flow into your everyday life at will. Do listen back to that one if you haven't already - or if you need a reminder. During flow, times distorts and our sense of self disappears, which begs the question - if it can disappear, just how real is it? My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Succes...

How To Get More Flow In Your Everyday Life

March 11, 2024 02:00 - 51 minutes

Flow is “a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it” - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Flow is when we feel and perform at our best, and while it frequently has something of a mystical quality to it, we are all familiar with it to various degrees. In this episode, Alex and I also talk about those moments when we are 'self-conscious', which...

How Your Perspective Changes Everything: Ryan Holiday

March 08, 2024 02:00 - 10 minutes

Embracing Life Long Learning: Nigel Adkins

March 06, 2024 02:00 - 1 hour

Recognising Our Addictions - And A Way Out: Tony Adams

March 01, 2024 02:00 - 9 minutes

Booze, sex, social media - what's your poison? Taking the time to consider when we have an unhealthy relationship with 'people, places, things and situations' is an extremely valuable process to go through. Former England and Arsenal footballer Tony Adams set up the Sporting Chance clinic, and is an expert at the process people gripped by addiction of any kind can go through to find freedom. He talks about sitting with uncomfortable feelings, puncturing ego - as well as the growing issue of s...

The Non-Duality Podcast - 'Finding Fulfilment and Contentment Where You Are' - with Nic Higham & Simon Mundie

February 26, 2024 09:25 - 50 minutes

Why fulfilment is about releasing our attachment to becoming and recognising Being When we become a champion, we simultaneously become a 'somebody'. In this conversation, recorded on The Non-Duality Podcast with Nic Higham, we explore some of the questionable assumptions lying behind what is a widespread belief. How can 'success' and self-aggrandisation be frequently unfulfilling and empty, while the absence of that deep-rooted sense of 'me' be so rich? What are some of the implications of ex...

How to use language to influence behaviour: Dave Alred - elite performance coach

February 23, 2024 03:00 - 11 minutes

Words can be extremely powerful tools, if used skillfully. Dave Alred, one of the most in-demand performance coaches in the world even goes so far as to say "language is the post powerful drug known to man". However, he argues that most people are not aware of this and as a result don't see the sort of results that could be possible if only they were able to adopt a few simple principles. This is especially true when it comes to influencing how other people behave. Champion Thinking: How To ...

Conscious Relationships

February 19, 2024 02:00 - 37 minutes

"If I accept the fact that my relationships are here to make me conscious, instead of happy, then my relationships become a wonderful self mastery tool that keeps realigning me with my higher purpose for living."– Eckhart Tolle This is one of my favourite quotes, although it isn’t necessarily in line with how most people view relationships. We tend to be conditioned with an idea about meeting ‘the one’ and living happily ever after. But, one look at divorce rates shows that this doesn’t seem...

How To Embrace Self-Acceptance

February 12, 2024 01:00 - 56 minutes

"I don't mind what happens. This is the essence of inner freedom" - Jiddu Krishnamurti Acceptance is being in alignment with the present moment. When we do mind what happens, we have judged the situation – 'this should not be happening' – and are now reacting to it from that perspective. We really only have two options when it comes to what is. We can either be aligned with it or against it. And we know which choice we’ve made by how we feel. If there is fear, anger, expectation, anxiety, do...

Embrace Vulnerability For Authentic Connection: Dr Pippa Grange

February 09, 2024 02:00 - 11 minutes

"Can you connect with people without having to airbrush your flaws?" When we come from a place of fear, we seek to hide our flaws and insecurities, which restricts our ability to connect authentically. When we fear rejection, a deep-seated sense of shame may be lurking, and when we then choose to project those feelings of shame outwards - by criticising, belittling and judging others - it is simply an expression of our own fear of inadequacy. Dr Pippa Grange was credited with helping to tran...

You are NOT your thoughts - you are AWARE of your thoughts

February 05, 2024 01:00 - 57 minutes

You are not your thoughts... you are aware of your thoughts. This is such a valuable and important recognition. Most people identify who they are through their thoughts about themselves. What they do, what they believe, which tribe they belong to. But thoughts are just pointers. As the saying goes, 'the finger pointing to the moon, is not the moon'. A key distinction is to recognise the difference between the 'thinking mind' and the 'aware mind'. We are all familiar with the 'thinking mind' w...

January 29, 2024 01:00 - 52 minutes

Success evangelism - have you had your fill yet? This idea that hustling for success, in the belief that we will finally be content and fulfilled when we reach the promised land (which invariably stays out of reach) needs a rethink. Some of the most successful people on the planet have been left unfulfilled and empty after achieving their hearts desires. It's time for a rethink. It's time to consider a new way of being.

January 15, 2024 00:01 - 57 minutes

What is our identity before psychology? This episode is about self-enquiry, a process you can do to explore what your fundamental identity is, before psychology. We tend to have an idea about who we are, based on thoughts about our roles in life, our beliefs, what has happened to us in the past, our relationships, tribal affiliations and so on. navigate the social world we live in - but it is certainly not the whole story.

Dr. Russ Harris is the world's best-know teacher of Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) Experiencing emotions like anxiety is entirely normal. It is part of the human experience.

January 05, 2024 02:00 - 8 minutes

How to produce work of value - and improve your mental health at the same time. Professor Cal Newport argues that our ability to do deep work, which is where we perform undistracted work on something cognitively demanding, is a vital skill to train.
