Styled By Standards

Ross Potter

Styled By Standards is for people who know they're capable of more. Hosted by transformation coach and behavioural change specialist Ross Potter, this podcast explores the psychology behind confidence, self-respect, identity, and the standards that quietly shape the lives we live. Drawing on over 15 years in the coaching seat, more than 350 client transformations, a background in policing, personal battles with depression, and the ongoing journey of becoming a stepdad, Ross shares honest conversations, real stories, and practical insights into what it actually takes to change. This isn't a fitness podcast. It's a podcast about human behaviour. Why confidence disappears, why standards collapse under pressure, and how to rebuild trust in yourself when you've drifted away from the person you know you're capable of becoming. Grab a coffee. Bring an open mind. Welcome to Styled By Standards.

    When Did You Stop Trying?

    When was the last time you looked in the mirror and genuinely liked what you saw? Somewhere along the way, confidence fades, intimacy disappears, and we lose touch with the person we used to be. But what happens when you finally decide you want more, and those around you aren't ready for that change? In this episode we explore self-worth, attraction, and the impact our insecurities have on our lives and relationships. Because sometimes the biggest distance is between you, and the person you used to be...

    You Hate Drama... Really?

    You say you hate drama, yet somehow always seem to find yourself in the middle of it. The gossip, the phone calls, the endless problems and the people who constantly need your attention. But what if you're not just surrounded by drama? What if you're unknowingly contributing to it? In this episode we explore the psychology behind our need to feel needed, why we become so invested in other people's problems, and how trying to fix everybody else's life can come at the expense of our own. Sometimes the problem isn't the drama around you. It's the role you keep playing in it...

    How I'd Lose 20lbs

    If I woke up tomorrow 20lbs heavier, uncomfortable in my clothes, and unhappy with the person staring back at me, what would I actually do? In this episode, I’m stripping away 15 years of experience, bodybuilding, hundreds of transformations and everything I’ve learned about why people succeed, and fail, to show you exactly how I’d approach losing 20lbs again. From food and movement to sleep, technology, environment, and why I’d almost disappear for 12 weeks. This isn’t about making fat loss harder... It’s about making success harder to avoid!

    There Is No Free Option

    You’ll question the cost of changing while spending thousands every year without thinking twice. This episode isn’t about saving money. It’s about priorities, the invisible price of inaction, and one uncomfortable question... If nothing changes over the next 12 months, what will staying exactly where you are have cost you?

    The Invisible Drain

    You’re tired. Your motivation has disappeared. Everything feels harder than it should, and you’re starting to wonder if you’re the problem. But what if your energy is simply being spent somewhere you haven’t noticed? In this episode, we explore the invisible drains quietly emptying your reservoir, and why sometimes the answer isn’t finding more motivation, but discovering where your energy is already going.

    Never Two In A Row

    This summer I walked into the gym, trained for five minutes, and left. After 15 years of training and hundreds of people coached, I still lost the argument with myself. This episode is about what happens when life gets heavy, routines disappear, and one bad decision threatens to become a pattern. We explore the simple rule I use inside my community to find our way back... 'Never Two In A Row'

    Not Everyone Wants You To Change

    You finally decide to change. To ask for help. To lose the weight. Get healthier. Rebuild your confidence. And strangely, the people you expected to support you most start creating the most friction. This episode explores the jealousy, fear, and insecurity that can surface when you begin to outgrow the version of yourself everyone else became comfortable with, and why you cannot spend your life staying small just to make other people feel safe. Who are you staying small for?

    Something Worth Chasing

    Weight loss has become far too serious. We obsess over calories, scales, steps, and targets but rarely stop to ask what all that work is actually for. In this episode, we explore what happens when you stop chasing a number and start building a life that genuinely excites you. From running your first 5K, writing a novel, or even signing up for an Ironman. Maybe you don't need more motivation. Maybe you just need something worth chasing...
