#42 - Mike Lashmar - From Blagging It to Owning It
When Mike Lashmar and I first spoke, he was spinning lots of plates - juggling a business, a family, his health and trying to hold it all together.But under the surface, he was knackered. Running on empty. Watching films with the kids and falling asleep 30 minutes in. Half-in at home, half-there at work - and completely out of rhythm with himself.On the outside, he looked successful.Inside, he felt like he was blagging it.That was 18 months ago.Fast forward to today, and Mike’s fitter, healthier, more grounded - and actually showing up the way he wants to. Not just for his business. But for himself, his wife, and his boys.We cover:How Mike went from stuck and out of shape to Mr. Norwegian 4x4 (you’ll see…)The lies we tell ourselves about that keep us stuckThe compound effect of doing the basics - even when life is full-onThe gap vs gain mindset that changed how Mike views progressWhy taking care of yourself isn’t selfish - it’s your responsibilityIf you’ve been blagging it for a while - hoping life calms down so you can catch up - this one’s for you.Hit the link below to find out more:www.theone-percent.com

#40 - James Brook - From All or Nothing to Always Something
James Brook is a CEO, a dad of two, husband and someone who - on the surface had it together.But underneath, when it cam to taking care of himself, he was caught in the all-or-nothing loop.If he couldn’t do it perfectly, he wouldn’t do it at all.The result? Stop-start cycles. No momentum. Constant frustration.In this episode, we talk about how James broke that loop - not by pushing harder, but by building systems that actually fit real life.We cover:How the all-or-nothing mindset creeps into every area of lifeWhy structure, consistency and clarity beat intensity every timeThe shift from pressure-driven chaos to calm, confident executionHow to build emotional resilience alongside physical momentumWhy lowering the bar isn’t lowering your standards - it’s building something that lastsThis isn’t just about habits - it’s about identity, self-leadership, and showing up when it counts.If you’re stuck in stop-start mode and want to build something sustainable - this is the work I do in The One Percent.Hit the link below to find out more:www.theone-percent.com
