Whether you slip into victim mode, jump in as the rescuer, or accidentally turn into the persecutor, this is a powerful framework for spotting the roles you play and finally breaking the cycle.

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive into one of the biggest paradoxes of modern success—why so many high achievers feel lost, unfulfilled, or miserable despite hitting every goal they’ve ever set. From CEOs and athletes to entrepreneurs and leaders, this conversation explores what really drives happiness, how our childhood beliefs shape our self-worth, and why external achievements rarely fill the internal void.

In this episode, Smith shares the truth about life after alcohol - five years sober and stronger than ever. This isn’t a preachy lecture or a guilt trip; it’s an honest conversation about the benefits of ditching the drink and how it transforms every area of your life - from business and health to relationships and self-respect.

We cover everything from brain fog and “beer fear” to the power of emotional regulation, time advantage, discipline, and authentic confidence. Adam also reveals how changing your identity changes your results, why surgeons make the best mindset models, and how living hangover-free can make you more productive than half the boardroom.

In this episode, Mayhew tackles one of the emotions most men struggle to handle properly - anger. We’ve been told to “man up”, “calm down”, or “control it”, but that approach often leads to emotional suppression and quiet frustration. This episode is about doing the inner work: understanding where your anger really comes from, learning how to communicate it effectively, and finding safe, constructive ways to release it before it explodes in the wrong direction.
