I used to be famous here in Australia hosting kids TV, Breakfast Radio and performing stand up comedy. One day I decided I wanted to inspire people instead of being famous, so I called 1687 schools around the country and asked to speak at their assembly sharing my journey living with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD and failing school and encouraging students to follow their dreams just as I did. Five years later, I am a full time motivational speaker travelling the country speaking in schools and conferences with one goal in mind, to turn 'flaws' into SUPERPOWERS!' You are NOT in control of what life throws at you, but you ARE in control of how you chose to handle it. Sometimes I am funny, sometimes I am silly and sometimes I am serious. This is my podcast. *DUNN DUNNNN* INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/theseamusevansshow TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@seamusevans FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mrseamusevans LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-evans/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@SeamusEvans WEBSITE - https://seamusevans.com/

    The 100 day Rule. Consistency over Quality

    If you want to change your life and I mean really undo some bad habits and design the lifestyle you say you want, the first 100 days are the hardest. Not 7 days. Not 21 days. Not when it’s still exciting. Research from University College London found it takes an average of 66 days for a behaviour to become automatic, and in some cases up to 254 days depending on the habit. (Lally et al., 2009, European Journal of Social Psychology). That means most people quit before the brain even rewires. The early phase is where friction lives. The motivation fades. The novelty disappears. And discipline has to take over. And here’s something else: studies on behaviour change consistently show high dropout rates in self-directed challenges. The majority of people who start structured transformation programs don’t complete them, not because they’re incapable, but because consistency exposes who’s serious. So ask yourself "How serious am I?" Most people like the idea of change. They dream about the body. The business. The discipline. The success. But they don’t want the repetition. Neuroscience tells us habits are built in the basal ganglia, the automation centre of the brain. Repetition strengthens neural pathways. Consistency reduces cognitive load. By the time you pass 90 days, the behaviour requires significantly less willpower. But you have to survive long enough to get there. We’re always looking for the shortcut. The secret. The magic pill. The hardest pill to swallow is this: There isn’t one. The path to success isn’t glamorous. It isn’t cinematic. It isn’t a Hollywood montage with music and highlights. It’s boring. It’s repetitive. It’s consistent. And that’s exactly why it separates people. The first 100 days aren’t about perfection. Research even shows missing one day doesn’t destroy habit formation, what matters is returning to the behaviour quickly. The first 100 days are about identity. You stop saying “I’m trying.” You start becoming “I am.” That’s the real shift.

    3 tips for GREAT leadership

    Leaderships is a word that large corporate figures throw around without actually knowing how to lead. Leadership is not about whipping your underlings into line, and punishing them if they don't listen. In this episode, I share the 3 elements that make a great leader. Everyone has to be on the same page heading in the same direction. Understanding the values, mission and goal of the group.Empower and Autonomy: You must have the courage to be vulnerable enough to champion your team on a human level, give compliments where due and encourage them to push themselves. Giving them Autonomy to complete tasks on their own accord will pay off in droves. Micro managers are useless.Give respect and get respect. There are many ways you can get respect, one of those ways is to treat everyone with respect and show your team you are strong. I don't mean angry, or an enforcer, I mean self assured and confident in your decision making. If you're team are treading through rough water and you show fear... the game is over you have lost your team. Strength is confidence and holding fast in your decisions. In this episode I expand on those three points with both personal experience and references. If you're in a leadership role or have horrible boss... watch/listen to this episode. Here are some studies and sites that reinforce these 3 points. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6133074/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9303621/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/384545507_Exploring_the_Relationship_Between_Leadership_Styles_and_Employee_Motivation_in_the_Context_of_Contemporary_Management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9303621/ INSTA - https://www.instagram.com/theseamusevansshow FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mrseamusevans TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@seamusevans?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc WEBSITE - https://seamusevans.com/ LINKEDIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-evans/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@SeamusEvans

    3 SECRETS TO CONFIDENCE!

    We all want to be more confident, but how can we? Confidence is one of the most important skills for personal growth, leadership, and long-term success. In this episode, Seamus Evans breaks down what confidence really is, why so many people struggle with self-belief, and how confidence is built through action, not motivation. Drawing on lived experience and practical psychology, this conversation explores how developing confidence improves decision-making, communication, resilience, and performance in both life and leadership. Whether you’re a leader, parent, or professional, learning how to build confidence is a game-changer.

    4am wake ups!

    One of my New Year’s resolutions is to train my body clock to jolt awake at 4am. Why? Because I want more hours in the day, and truth be told, it’s the only uninterrupted time I get to myself. Any man in his mid-30s working for himself knows the hustle is real, especially when you have a family depending on you. “How will I pay the mortgage? What school will I send my kids to? How will I grow my business this year?” Heavy, life-altering questions swirl through my head as I stand in the kitchen in nothing but my underwear shovelling boiled eggs into my mouth. But how does waking at 4am actually help? I’m exhausted and my brain isn’t firing properly. Should I rest so I can operate at 100 percent, or stay the course? Does this work? Or am I wasting precious sleep hours? I did some research and found out that, yes it does work and is alarmingly affective. Here are three reasons waking up at 4am is changing my life1. The early bird catches the wormResearch suggests people who wake early are more likely to anticipate problems and take proactive steps to solve them. Why? Because morning people tackle high-priority tasks first. I read a book years ago called ‘Eat That Frog’, which uses the metaphor that if you eat a frog first thing in the morning, everything else that day tastes better. It’s the same idea as ripping off the Band-Aid. Deal with the hard thing early and free up mental space for everything else. In short, morning people tend to be more productive. 2. Clearing the runwayI need time for my brain and body to switch on before life pulls me in every direction. If I don’t get that space, I get frustrated. For the two hours before my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, I slow things down. I read, meditate, practice gratitude, pray, and visualise what I want in life. I have a very active imagination, and I need to take it for a spin so it doesn’t hijack my focus later. Like walking your dog so it doesn’t destroy the furniture. If I don’t allocate this time, my brain feels like a messy closet that’s always sitting in the background waiting to be cleaned. Those quiet two hours feel like clearing the runway so the rest of the day can actually take off like a Qantas  Boeing 747. 3. DisciplineIf you’re anything like me and spent your 20s partying, avoiding accountability, eating cake for breakfast, and doing whatever you felt like, you probably lack discipline. I was a TV presenter, radio host, and comedian living solo around the country for many years. I didn’t need discipline, so I never built it. It was fun. I lived in the moment and indulged in all of the fast-release dopamine behaviours that only feel good short term. But my health paid the price. I got miserable, depressed and developed a wicked dadbod (before being a dad) I drank too much, ate whatever I wanted, and worked out every other day to think I looked good on the dance floor. What an idiot. Like many people, I get addicted easily. Recently, I became obsessed with a game on my phone called Eatventure. It’s a kids’ game where you start with a lemonade stand and reinvest until you’re running a fast-food empire. I had to delete it. It was taking up way too much time. But it taught me something important. Invest in the product.

    Day 1

    It’s 2026, and New Year’s resolutions are being written on crisp notepads around the world. But how close will most of them actually get to the finish line?Why do we humans have a tendency to self-sabotage? Why does “Day 1” feel so much better to say than “Day 100”?At what point in the year do these bursts of inspiration quietly fade away?Is the real secret to New Year’s resolutions found in small, consistent habits, or in bold, ambitious goals?Many of you reading this probably received James Clear’s Atomic Habits and felt inspired to take a leap by setting a huge goal to achieve this year.This very podcast is in fact a New Years Resolution. Will I get to 100 episodes? Or will life get in the way?Here are three reasons humans fail at New Year’s resolutions.*1. We’re high on motivation*Most resolutions are born from a motivation spike. After weeks of indulgence, we crave routine, fitness, clean living, and more money. Motivation feels powerful, but it fades fast. While motivation starts goals, structure sustains them. Most people don’t fail from lack of desire. They fail because they lack systems that hold them steady once emotion disappears.*2. Vague plus extreme equals failure*“Get fit” or “make more money” sound good but lack clarity. More specific goals like “run three times a week” or “increase income by 10 percent” are better, but often demand drastic lifestyle changes. These ideas feel exciting at Christmas, but as time passes and discomfort appears, commitment slips.*3. All or nothing thinking*When progress is viewed as success or failure, one missed action feels like total defeat. “I missed a run, so I’ve failed.” That mindset kills goals faster than poor discipline ever could.*One change that changes everything*Think big, but act small. Keep ambitious goals, but attach simple, repeatable actions that compound over time.If your goal is to double your income, focus on becoming more valuable. Ask how you can contribute directly to growth. Compensation follows value.If your goal is running, start once a week. Build consistency first, then increase gradually.The key is this: don’t quit when you slip. Everyone slips. Pick it up immediately and move on.Progress isn’t built on perfection.It’s built on persistence.*My goals for 2026:*Wake at 4amEnter one Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournamentRead books instead of scrollingRecord 100 solo podcast episodes*My plan:*Sleep at 9pm, phone outside the bedroomActually sign upKeep books nearbyRelease this episode...
