At 30, Adam, hit his rock-bottom moment, ashamed, overweight and lost.

His personal transformation began in silence, quitting alcohol, and generally cleaning up his act. Eventually dropping from 130kg to a more suitable 105kg, in a space of 6 months. A transformation that changed his life and those around him.

These days, he coaches men on what it really takes to become a better man by showing up as the aligned, authentic version of yourself every single day.

Adam Smith is a wise and insightful man, that walks the talk. Loved this chat!

Tony Riccio shares his families history with alcoholism and when he had that 'aha' moment that he had to make some important decisions around his relationship with alcohol.

As a luxury travel host, Tony's career depends on him being social which often involves entertaining clients. So how does he decide when to drink, and when to abstain?

He details how journaling helped him create practical "rules" for drinking that improved his health, his relationships, and gaining clarity without going fully sober. Then he wrote a book about it, which we delve into.

This chat with Tony will inspire you to reflect and examine your own habits with curiosity rather than judgment.

The title 'Nice Guy' has a friendly ring to it.

But, the reality is the nice guy, ain't so nice.

You might even be a Nice Guy (or gal) and don't even know it.

Dr Robert Glover, one of the OG's, wrote a cracker book called 'No More Mr Nice Guy'

Effectively, a nice guy is someone who inaccurately internalises his belief system from a young age that he is not ok, just as he is.

He carries a toxic shame around with him, and is therefore not his true authentic self.

In this Pod, I discuss the underlying issues they are masking and how to turn your nice guy syndrome around.
