Today, Stephen and Oliver critically examine the world of “hustle” and “side hustle” culture.

In the first episode of Season Three, Stephen and Oliver question whether relentless busyness truly leads to fulfillment or simply burnout, urging you to prioritise purpose, health, and relationships over constant work.

Drawing on their own personal experiences and cultural references, they challenge the glorification of overworking and encourage self-reflection on motivations and values.

Stephen and Oliver suggest that real success is defined by happiness and balance—not by external pressures or social media ideals.

The episode calls for redefining achievement beyond the grind.

Today, Stephen and Oliver share their perspectives on therapy, mentoring, and coaching.

Oliver shares his skepticism about traditional therapy’s focus on the past, inspired by Adlerian psychology, and emphasises the value of moving forward.

Stephen highlights the complementary roles of therapy for healing and mentoring for personal growth.

Both hosts encourage listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider alternative approaches, such as coaching or mentoring, if therapy alone hasn’t led to meaningful progress.

This week's episode is aimed at helping you recognise that you’re not competing with anybody but yourself.

Comparing yourself to others can be draining and often leads to distraction away from what you need to be doing.

Focusing on ‘you’ is how you move forward. Not from judging and comparing yourself harshly against others.

Let us know what you think.

Today, we discuss the meaning of legacy, sparked by reflections from a family funeral.

We share some personal stories about how memories, values, and family culture shape how people are remembered across generations.

We explore the limits of material legacy, the importance of asking elders about family history, and the power of creating meaningful moments.

We invite you to consider the impact you want to have and to start actively building a legacy through relationships and shared experiences, rather than simply being remembered by name.

This week Stephen and I talked about quality 'me time'. Far too many people get very little time to themselves.

The pace of life these days means we've lost touch with ourselves and don't like to spend time on our own.

However, time by ourselves (with no distractions, like social media and smartphones) is priceless. Some of people's greatest ideas have come from moments of clarity gained during times of on their own.

Let us know what you think.

This may seem painstakingly obvious and so easy to say (whilst being much harder to do).

However, in this episode Stephen and I challenge the way of being and thinking that stops us from being happy. Is it really that hard to do something you enjoy more regularly than you currently enjoy?

More importantly won’t you be a better version of yourself for doing something that makes you happy? The knock on effects of becoming that better version of yourself will have far reaching benefits…
