    In this episode, Smith & Mayhew dive deep into the idea of alignment — and why chasing success without doing the inner work can leave you feeling more empty than ever. From Seneca’s timeless wisdom to Viktor Frankl’s resilience in unimaginable circumstances, they explore how the “when and then” mindset robs men of happiness in the present moment.

    134: Guilt, Shame and the Stories You Tell Yourself

    In this episode, Smith and Mayhew tackle one of the most destructive patterns men fall into: turning everyday mistakes into proof that they’re not good enough.

    133: Fear, Attachment and the Illusion of Control

    In this episode, Smith and Mayhew dive deep into fear - where it comes from, why it sticks around, and how it quietly runs so many men’s lives without being noticed. From money and identity to success and validation, this conversation challenges the idea that “once I’ve got more, I’ll finally feel safe” and explores what actually creates freedom, fulfilment and peace of mind.

    131: What Are You Letting Go of in 2026?

    This episode marks a new chapter for the podcast, with a more honest, unfiltered approach to what it really takes to become a better man. We explore the idea that progress doesn’t always come from doing more, but from letting go of outdated identities, unhelpful routines, people-pleasing, and the constant chase for “what’s next”. It’s a conversation about slowing down, raising standards, and building a life that actually fits who you are now.

    130: Reflection & Refinement : Achieving more in 2026

    This episode is a guided reflection on the year just gone and a challenge to stop drifting through life on autopilot. We dig into the decisions you avoided, the habits you kept out of comfort rather than conviction, and the identity that might be quietly holding you back. If you carried the same behaviours into next year, would you be proud of the result - or disappointed you didn’t act sooner?
