    153: The Hidden Reason You Can’t Put Your Phone Down : Martyn Richards

    In this powerful conversation, Martyn Richards joins Adam Smith to unpack a struggle that so many men quietly deal with: feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. On the surface, it starts with excessive screen time and doom scrolling - but underneath it lies something much deeper. Together, they explore self-worth, shame, confidence, childhood conditioning, and why so many high-performing men still find ways to hold themselves back, even after making huge progress in other areas of life.

    152: Building Awareness : The Pause That Will Change Your Life (Mayhew Moment)

    In this episode, Mayhew explores one of the most powerful concepts in personal growth: the space between stimulus and response. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s timeless wisdom, he unpacks why so many men live on emotional autopilot - reacting instantly to stress, conflict, pressure, criticism, and uncertainty - and how meditation can help you regain control over your mind, emotions, and behaviour. If you’ve ever snapped too quickly, overthought a situation for hours, or felt trapped inside your own head, this conversation will give you a completely different perspective.

    151: The Inner Critic Every Founder Carries : Pete Allen

    In this episode of Aligned, Adam Smith sits down with Pete (the man behind the editing desk of the podcast), for an unexpectedly deep conversation about work, identity and self-worth. What begins as a discussion about feeling guilty during quieter work periods quickly uncovers something much bigger: the pressure many men place on themselves to constantly prove their value. Together, they explore fear of failure, childhood conditioning, self-deprecation, people-pleasing and the exhausting belief that productivity equals worth. Expect honest reflections, practical mindset shifts and a powerful reminder that being present is sometimes more valuable than “doing more”.

    149: People Pleasing is Quietly Ruining Your Life

    In this episode, Smith and Mayhew unpack the real reason so many men struggle with boundaries, burnout, and constantly putting other people first. This isn’t just about being “too nice” - it’s about understanding where people pleasing truly begins, how childhood conditioning shapes adult behaviour, and why seeking approval can quietly control your decisions, relationships, health, and happiness. If you’ve ever struggled to say no, worried what people think of you, or felt emotionally exhausted trying to keep everyone happy, this conversation will hit home.
