F**k yeh, We just went global for August!

Been an incredible journey so far guys, sorry I’ve been quiet on here. I’m on an adventure of my own through Mexico & took a week off the podcast after the season finale! Will be taking a breather before coming back better than ever in season 2.

I’ve listened back to most of the episodes now and I’m happy with the progress we have made, and so grateful for the amazing guests.

There are a few things I seek to improve on already for season 2. One being sound quality on every episode, and 2 becoming better at getting the best out of my guests.

I expected to make an error or two along the way. But if you haven’t had the chance to catch up on all the episodes nows the time to do so. I’ll be back with you in about a month & will be active on here from next week!

I’m going to be doing a season one roundup very soon so stay tuned for that.

Thanks to all of our listeners from all around the world 🌍 and a mad shoutout to all of our guests.

Here’s to a banging season 1 & I’ll update you on the rundown episode soon.

Peace and love,

Your host, Ryan.

huge shout out to for making us worldwide this month! @ Mexico

Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese swordsman, philosopher, strategist, writer and rōnin.

He believed in life you should not focus all your energy into one area.

You should be highly skilled in all walks of life. Your relationships, your work, your art, your athletic performance and your knowledge of the self.

Musashi claimed to have fought in more than 60 individual sword fights, many of which were to the death and all of which he won.

I love this quote, it’s from the book of 5 rings. A book dating back to the 1600’s where the same lessons still apply.

Incredible.

That mate who...completed the worlds highest triathlon! Bosco Martin

Absolute pleasure to get to know Bosco over the last few weeks & have a remarkably open and frank conversation about some of the mental health challenges that our brothers struggle with.

These challenges run so much deeper for this man, and you will hear that on the Final podcast of the season this Thursday!

We share so much in common and I really appreciate his line of thinking.

There’s some incredible humans in our wee country of Northern Ireland and nothing I love more than learning from them.

This is a powerful podcast for men’s mental health. Some important topics are covered, and some strategies provided.

All love from your host,

Ryan

Africa where you at? Yeh thats right...

I’d never thought I’d have to call out an entire continent. But here we go!

I can’t call myself the fastest growing global podcast in the last 30 days, if you don’t chip in and listen!

Surely there’s someone on here that loves a good podcast & is kicking around in Africa. Or do we have a favourite podcast from Africa I can link in with?

Tag em in the comments below ✌️ I'll give you a shout out in the season finale!

All in good humour guys, but it would make my entire week if we could break into Africa before the season finale 10 this Thursday!

Pace y amor!

After every episode I like to reward myself with a cold beer somewhere new.

Just a little ritual & me and brought the heat in todays podcast.

Coming live to you soon, it’s ridiculous.

11/08/2020

World Triathlon Altitude Record Holder 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Bosco Martin will be coming on the show this week.

I spoke to this guy last week and he was just about to head out on a 2km swim, a 90km run through the mountains covering 20000ft of elevation overnight, finished up with a leisurely bike ride of 21km.

A sort of reverse Ironman??!! Anyway - guys an animal, and I know he runs a fantastic group to support men's mental health so we will no doubt dive into that too.

He's planning something real big and stoked to speak to him in the next week or so.

All love,

Ryan

Why the f**k did he start a podcast?

Time for me to check in with you guys. I am your host, you've listened to my voice nearly 1000 times now. I've shared snippets of what made me do this but let me open up to you.

I lost my father at 13, since then I have been seeking answers to some questions;

- What is a man supposed to be?
- What is the right life to lead?
- How to make decisions under pressure?
- When to stand up and be tough and when to vulnerable?
- Can you make it in the world alone?

Along my journey I have had some great success as a businessman, a partner, as an athlete, as a coach and I have adventured pretty wildly. From afar it all looks shiny and bright, but I have really been trying to figure out what the f**k is the meaning of life. Trust me for the number of highs I've had my fair shares of looses too.

And how the hell am I supposed to live mine right?

During this process of figuring all this out and putting pressure on myself to predict the future I developed quite extreme anxiety and certainly bouts of depression at times.

Through these experience's I have met amazing people that have given me advice, pointed me the right direction and supported me on my journey. Just like a father may have done.

I made a decision that it's time to talk, time to be open and it's time to get on top of this hidden monster and I wanted you guys on this journey with me.

Full disclosure is that it does scare me, to share my truth with the world. However the quality of my relationships are only getting better.

So instead of listening to me ranting for an hours I decided to bring on guests that we all look up to.

They share their stories of struggle, motivation, mental health, anxiety, depression, fear of not being good enough & decision paralysis. Also their wins.

There are two metrics to the success of this podcast.

1. That I am enjoying the conversations with people.
2. That we are adding some knowledge and growth to you the listeners.

Life's short and we get one run through, speak your truth - you will be surprised by how much the person sat in front of you may struggle too.

If you wish to talk to me, or one of our guests. Reach out.

3 legends of the podcast game and doing the Thursday drop.

Myself and get right into the weeds on how to manage mental health at the absolute peak of sport, chat some s**t and talk about our more spiritual journeys.

And a lil bit of football..

06/08/2020

No Podcast today?

Guy's I have finished and edited the fantastic podcast EP 8 with and was just about to push the live button. But....

I'm not completely happy with the audio quality, and I strive to bring you the best content in the most digestible manner on Apple Podcasts, Spotify & Google Podcasts.

So I posted yesterday in request for some help and we have had a few hero's come riding in on their white horses to see if they can help make it a bit smoother for you listeners.

Baring in mind it was recorded from a reception in a busy Mexican hostel it's pretty dam good already, but the message is just so dam important about men and how we need to talk I don't want any hurdles for people to listen.

Either way, I will put it live tomorrow now. And you can rest assured we have done our best. It's such a good conversation anyway, you probably won't even notice what I'm fussing over.

Mad love to you all, and sorry for missing our agreement today for the Thursday Drop. I know a lot of you look forward to them now.

Peace and love from Tulum.

What do NFL stars do after their short careers?

The average professional career of an NFL player is 3.3 years. That’s right!

Can you imagine turning up to work every single day putting your body and life on the line to try and keep your job. Knowing it has such a short tenure?

I met in tulum Mexico, and in a very short space of time we have became very close.

Playing for the , the & the he was truely the 1% of the 1% of top athletes in America.

It’s been great hearing his stories of playing against some of the NFL’s greatest players. What it took to get to that level, how it impacted his mindset & how his lifestyle has changed since football.

Tyrone now at 26 is at a crossroads, and is trying to figure out what career he will next focus his energy on.

During this trip, over cold beers In the evening we have found a deep connection on our quest for inner peace, the importance of managing your ego, mental health & mindset. I’d say we are both becoming slightly more spiritual on this journey & trying to really figure out the meaning of life, or at least get alittle closer.

As always we are extremely open, and we felt it’s only fair that we share one of our conversations with you. As I’m sure a lot of people can relate, and maybe feel some comfort in that even people that we aspire to be also have their own struggles.

I have so much love for you brother, and can’t wait to drop this podcast next week! We have no doubt whatever you try your hand at next will be an immense success ✌️

You ever hit a crossroads in your life? You ever struggle with mindset and mental health?

Give this a like or a comment so we can see you.

Nothing but love, Ryan. @ Tulum

What do NFL stars do after their short career?

Yeh, it's a good bloody question. Their average professional career 3.3 years!!!

Can you imagine what is like to go into your job every single day and have to put your life and body on the line to keep your career knowing?

I met this mountain of a man in Tulum Mexico & Together me and my new found brother sit down and have a very open and frank conversation about what it's like to be 26 and everything they had focused on their whole life comes to an end.

He played for the Miami Dolphins, The Cleveland Brown & The LA chargers - competing against the greatest in NFL history as an outside linebacker.

Talk about a crossroads. This is the 1% of the 1% of athletes, on this journey in Mexico together we have really connected on what is the meaning of life, how to change course, how to maintain a good mindset, how to detach yourself from the ego, how to deal with depression anxiety & how to arrive at a finally happy and peaceful place in your life.

We have had similar conversations almost every evening in Tulum, Mexico over a few cold ones, i think it's only fair I share these stories with you, because they have been life transformational for me.

I have so much love for this man, and we have no doubt whatever you turn your hand to next will be a remarkable success. Great to share part of your journey with you.

Do you feel the pressure of your career, is it affecting you negatively? Have you had a similar experience. We would love to hear from you below :)

Peace & Love,

Ryan

Today’s the day, I’m super excited to get out to Central America.

I know it’s not the ideal time, but it may just be uniquely amazing if it pays off. We are planning on starting in Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, across the pond in Panama & down to Colombia.
...and it would be an awful shame not to see Cuba while we are down there, but let’s see how it all pans out.

From the last trip out to this part of the world I met a lot of these people on the podcasts you listen to today.

That’s what I’m most excited about, sharing awesome stories with awesome people & bringing as many as I can to our wonderful listeners.

But yeh true story this post, the idea of doing it all now excites the hell out of me!

Episode 4 with drops today if all goes to plan. I have to say it’s the most important conversation IMO, we really deep dive into mental health & try our best to help others by sharing our story.

But hell yeh, enjoy and right now we have 5x as many listeners than followers 😂 (which is really what’s important, but a ludicrous stat)

Enjoy and mad love ✌️

Hows this for a THROWBACK?

Talk about hanging your dirty laundry out to dry.

We love having a bit of a laugh on podcast, we throw across all kinds of words, accents, jokes - it is raw.

I tell my guests before the show to express themselves as freely as possible, no holding back. But it's still a conversation not a grilling so I share parts of my story along the way as well, IMO it makes for a better dynamic in the conversation.

All will get better in time, but for now we are exactly where we need to be.

Your a f**king legend ! Check out Ep 2 on Apple Podcasts or Spotify right now!

It was so much fun, lets do it again brother!

All I ask is, if you enjoy it - mention it to someone else that would.

06/07/2020

If you listen to the TMW #2 with you will soon realise a few things; He has an incredible sense of humour and doesn't take life too seriously (except for when he needs to dial it in) he is incredibly open and honest & he is willing to help others follow their dreams.

That's how I met him originally - thought I'd be cheeky and send him a message on Instagram to ask him what it's like to do the 7 summits challenge, and he went above and beyond every step of the way.

My mantra is never ask for advice from someone that has not walked that path, I hit the jackpot here.

Back to the video: Physio is clearly giving Noel a hard time because he's unstoppable!

Search 'that mate who' on APPLE or SPOTIFY to listen. Like the page, tell your nan, whatever ya gotta do.
