The One Percent

When Adam Drawwater and I first spoke, he was successful on paper - running a thriving finance business, managing a growing team, and supporting a family with three young boys, including a newborn.
But under the surface?
He was knackered. Overweight. Struggling for energy. And quietly frustrated that he wasn’t showing up properly - at work or at home.
It wasn’t a crisis. But it wasn’t sustainable either.
Since then, Adam’s dropped 20kg, regained control, and reshaped how he leads - both professionally and personally.
In this episode, we cover:
Why high-functioning burnout is more common than you think
How Adam found clarity, structure, and progress without needing a full life overhaul
Why walking and small daily changes had a bigger impact than chasing perfection
The real ROI of coaching - better decisions, better boundaries, and a calmer head
What it means to be present - with work, kids, and yourself – when life’s full-on
If you’re in a similar place - doing well on paper but feeling flat, heavy, and stretched too thin - this one will hit home.
And if you want help finding that ever elusive balance - I can help.

Episode 50. A milestone.
So this week, I’m flipping the script - and bringing on someone who coached me.
Tim Drummond was my coach years ago. I joined his program thinking I’d get strategy, systems, a business plan. What I got was something else entirely.
He helped me see what I couldn’t. Held up the mirror. Asked the questions I didn’t want to answer. And laid the foundations for everything The One Percent has become.
This episode isn’t about tactics. It’s about what real coaching looks like.
We cover:
Why the best coaches don’t give answers - they help you ask better questions
How mindset and self-awareness drive every part of business and life
The danger of building a life that looks good, but doesn’t feel good
Why group coaching often beats 1:1 - and how it changed me
The difference between shouting for change - and holding space for it
If you’ve ever wondered what coaching actually is - or what it really means to lead yourself - this episode shows you.

One year. 49 episodes. Countless conversations.
In this special solo episode, I look back on what I’ve learned from a year of running The One Percent podcast – and why the biggest lesson has nothing to do with mics, metrics or marketing.
It’s this:
Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
We cover:
Why taking imperfect action beats sitting on a perfect plan
How the podcast started as a LinkedIn Live (and a throwaway comment)
The story behind launching The Blueprint coaching program
The new B2B arm of the business - and why it started with a simple pilot
Why self-belief is overrated - and evidence is everything
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to do the thing you know you need to do - this episode is your reminder:
Start messy.
Start unsure.
Just f***ing start.
And if you need help starting, I can help.

When Jack Nugent first got in touch, life wasn’t falling apart - but it wasn’t in focus either.
He had two kids, two businesses, and a lot going on.
Work was full-on. Home was full-on. And he was bouncing between both - with no separation, no clarity, and no time to think.
Life had become one big blur.
He didn’t need a therapist. He wasn’t having a breakdown. But he knew things weren’t right.
Fast forward 12 months - and Jack’s in a completely different place.
Clearer. Calmer. In control. Not from doing anything extreme - but by building a life with intention and agency.
In this episode, we talk about the shift that happened when Jack started taking himself seriously - and how habits, structure, and reflection helped him become the husband, father, and man he wanted to be.
We cover:
Why everything “looking fine on paper” means nothing if you feel like s***
The importance of separating work, home, training, and personal time
Why journaling helped Jack express what he couldn’t say out loud
How physical training and mental clarity are always linked
The ripple effect of better headspace - and how it changed the way Jack listens and connects with the people closest to him
Why sometimes you don’t need solutions - you just need to listen
If you’re feeling the weight of responsibility without the tools to handle it - this episode will hit home.
And if you want the kind of clarity and control Jack’s built I can help.

When Mark Eshelby first got in touch, he wasn’t falling apart - but he wasn’t in control either.
Life was reactive. Overstimulated. Too much red wine. Not enough reflection.
He came in wanting discipline and better habits.
And he built them.
But what he walked away with was something much deeper - a new level of calm, clarity, and purpose.
In this episode, we talk about the shift from chasing outcomes to building identity - and how journaling, reflection, and clear standards helped Mark lead himself properly for the first time in years.
We cover:
Why red wine, stress and overstimulation don’t fix anything
How journaling and stoicism gave Mark a whole new lens on life
The value of reflection - and seeing your own patterns
The power of being present - with work, family, and yourself
Why discipline, clarity and purpose always beat motivation
If you’ve ever felt like life is full-on and you’re constantly reacting - this is proof you can take control without becoming a monk.
And if you want to take that kind of control  I can help.
