Today’s conversation is with Ed Latimore. A heavyweight boxer, physics graduate, author, and returning guest to the podcast.

Ed is not your typical fighter. After an 8½-year break from the ring, he returned at the age of 40 to secure a first-round TKO. But the time away wasn’t idle. He earned a degree in physics, taught calculus, got sober, lived in Portugal, coached boxing, and started a family.

His latest book Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business, is a brutally honest reflection on the tough lessons life and boxing have taught him. In this conversation, Ed shares why a difficult childhood gave him the mindset to endure, how men can build identity without toxic status games, and what he’s learning now as a father.

This is a raw, reflective, and powerful conversation about masculinity, hardship, and redemption.

Expect to learn:

• Why Ed believes pain builds perspective and emotional resilience
• The hardest lessons from boxing and how they shaped him
• How Stoicism helped him avoid becoming a victim of his environment
• Why modern masculinity needs to mature and what’s wrong with red pill culture
• How fatherhood has changed Ed’s outlook on legacy and love
• Why you don’t need to suffer like Ed to learn what he did

Lewis is the founder of Hussel, a disruptive marketing agency known for bold, raw, attention-grabbing campaigns.

From holiday rep to headline-grabbing marketer, Lewis has carved a path that’s anything but traditional.

In this conversation, we unpack Lewis’ early mindset shifts, what he learned from travelling and meeting high-performing entrepreneurs, and how he’s turned rejection, controversy, and chaos into a profitable creative business.

• How documenting a stolen AirPods saga in Qatar turned into a marketing lesson
• Why Lewis nearly got deported from Dubai after a protest-style stunt
• Thoughts on authenticity, personal brands, and why audiences trust people over companies
• Favourite industries and dream projects

Today’s conversation is a solo episode, but it’s not a Q&A.

It’s a special episode reflecting on the biggest lessons and insights from making over £1.7M ex VAT of sales during the last financial year between April 2024 and April 2025.

I’ve worked full time in sales now for over a decade after graduating from University in June 2014. Along the way I’ve worked in B2B and B2C sales as well as building my personal brand, social media channels, and this wonderful podcast.

This episode has 12 of the lessons I’ve learnt on how to successfully make sales and many of these will be immediately actionable for you to implement whether you run your own business, work in sales role in an organisation, or just know sales matters to your success and you want to work on it.

I have many other big lessons, insights and templates I’ve saved and written into my presentations and trainings I’ve delivered to individuals and sales teams over the last 18 months as an adhoc sales consultant.

However I am now going to offer this far more broadly and am building out the best video content for my sales masterclass. If you want to learn more on how we can work together to improve your sales skills and results then DM me ’SALES MASTERCLASS’ on LinkedIn or Instagram.

If you want more lessons like this Episode 257 recaps my 13 lessons from £1.1M ex VAT last year.

Today’s conversation is with George TheTinMen.

George is a content creator, pro-men’s advocate and researcher.

His work is rooted in data, cultural analysis, and a no-nonsense approach to highlighting the growing challenges facing young men in modern society.

We unpack the key statistics, overlooked issues, and cultural narratives that are shaping, and often undermining, men today. From education to mental health, the realities of modern masculinity are explored without the usual sugar-coating.

Expect to learn:

• What drove George to “grasp the nettle” and speak up for men and boys
• The shocking reversal in educational outcomes since Title IX, with young men falling behind for decades
• How the number of young men not in education, employment, or training has soared—up 40% post-pandemic
• Why George believes the political left has abandoned men and boys
• The truth about “toxic masculinity” and how male instincts are misunderstood
• The reality behind the gender pay gap that rarely gets discussed
• Startling statistics on male suicide and why current interventions aren’t working
• Why “talking” about mental health isn’t enough for men—the boiling pot analogy
• The disturbing rise in sextortion cases targeting young men
• The crisis of male role models, with 1 in 4 state schools in England having no male teachers
• Why shoulder-to-shoulder time matters more for men than traditional sit-down talks
• Reflections on mature masculinity and the concept of being of service to others
• The growing issue of male body dysmorphia in the age of social media
• Practical steps to support men’s mental health and challenge harmful stereotypes

If you care about better outcomes for young men and understanding the cultural forces at play, this conversation is a must-listen.

Today’s conversation is with Craig Ballantyne.

Craig is an entrepreneur, author of The Perfect Day Formula and The Discipline Manifesto and most recently The Dark Side of Discipline, and widely known as “The World’s Most Disciplined Man.”

We explore the fine line between discipline and dysfunction, how to identify when you’re applying effort to the wrong problems, and how to build sustainable systems that align with your identity. Craig shares tools like the Pyramid of Peak Performance, Effortless Discipline Systems, and his 4-step Unbreakable Standards framework for creating lasting change.

Expect to Learn:

• How a throwaway comment led to Craig being branded “The World’s Most Disciplined Man”
• Why living the book matters more than writing it
• The signs that discipline is becoming dysfunctional or destructive
• How to apply “Level 10 effort to Level 10 problems”
• Why many high-performers are solving the wrong hard problems
