    171: You've built a successful life, so why do you need alcohol to escape from it?

    You’ve got the career, the business, the house, the family and the things you once thought would make you feel successful. So why do you still need a drink to switch off? In this episode, Adam Mayhew talks about why so many successful men rely on alcohol at the end of a stressful day or week, and why the thing you think is helping you relax could actually be contributing to the anxiety, overthinking, poor sleep, low energy and inability to properly switch off. I also share my own experience of becoming alcohol-free over eight years ago, why the first 90 days can be so important, and what happens when you finally stop using alcohol to suppress what’s going on underneath. Going alcohol-free isn’t just about removing the drink. It forces you to learn how to handle your thoughts, emotions, stress and pressure differently. If everything looks successful on paper but you know you’re not operating at your best, this episode is for you. FREE A-GAME RESET MINI COURSE If this sounds familiar, I’ve created a free 4-part video course called The A-Game Reset. Inside, I share the frameworks and tools we’ve used with 500+ successful men to help them remove alcohol, stop overthinking, improve their health, handle pressure better and get back on their A-Game at work and at home. 👉 Watch The A-Game Reset free here: https://go.agameconsultancy.com/agame-free-course-4579 A-Game helps successful men perform at their best and create real freedom.

    170: Why You’re More Tired Than You Should Be

    In this episode of A-Game Unfiltered, Smith and Mayhew break down what actually drives low energy and why most people already know where they’re going wrong. They get into sleep, alcohol, poor nutrition, lack of movement, screen time and the small daily behaviours that quietly wreck how you feel, think and perform. They also talk about the cost of low energy beyond just feeling tired: worse decisions, less patience, poorer training, lower presence at home and constantly giving the people closest to you whatever is left over. No biohacking nonsense. Just the basics done properly, and an honest look at the habits you keep choosing even though you know they’re making you feel worse.

    169: Stop Believing Everything You Think

    In this episode of A-Game Unfiltered, Smith and Mayhew break down the language and beliefs that quietly keep people stuck. From “I have imposter syndrome” and “I’ve always been an overthinker” to “I’m just not confident” and “that’s just how I am”, they challenge the labels people attach to themselves and explain why the way you speak about yourself matters. They also get into overthinking, anxiety, people pleasing, confidence, meditation and why learning to sit with your own thoughts is one of the most important skills you can develop. If your own head is often the thing getting in your way, this one is worth listening to. A-Game helps successful men perform at their best and create real freedom.

    168: When Success Still Feels Wrong: Are You Out of Alignment?

    You can have the business, the house, the family, the holidays and still know something isn’t right. In this episode of A-Game Unfiltered, Adam Smith and Adam Mayhew talk about alignment and what happens when the way you’re living no longer matches the person you want to become. They get into fitness, relationships, family, business, boundaries, speaking your truth and why so many men keep doing things simply because they’ve always done them. They also discuss the danger of saying “everything’s fine” when it isn’t, how resentment builds when you repeatedly ignore what you actually want, and why self-respect is built through the things you do and don’t do. There are some essential questions to answer this episode.  Don’t just listen to this one. Do the work. **Join us live at A-Game Live in Leeds on 20th October.

    167: The Decisions You’re Avoiding Are Keeping You Stuck

    Growth is the second pillar of the A-GAME framework. In this episode, Smith and Mayhew talk about why growth rarely feels comfortable, and why clarity usually comes after you make the decision, not before. We cover the decisions you keep avoiding, outgrowing people, changing your environment, raising your standards and surrounding yourself with people who actually support where you’re trying to go. Because growth isn’t about thinking more, reading more or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from taking action, backing yourself and being willing to tolerate the discomfort that comes with becoming someone different. Ask yourself: What decision have I been avoiding, and what is my next level of growth? A-Game helps ambitious men perform at their best and create real freedom.

    166: You Know What Needs to Change. So Why Aren’t You Changing It?

    A-Game Unfiltered is back with Smith and Mayhew. In this episode, we break down the first part of the A-GAME framework: Awareness. Most people say they know what they need to do. Get fitter. Drink less. Spend less time on their phone. Be more present at home. Get more intentional in business. But if you really know, why haven’t you changed it? We talk about the difference between surface-level awareness and becoming painfully aware of what is no longer working. From health and alcohol to relationships, business and the habits you’ve accepted as normal, this episode is about stepping back, looking at the truth and asking better questions. Including one that might hit harder than the rest: What are you pretending not to know? Because change starts with awareness.

    165: You Built a Business for Freedom. So Why Can’t You Switch Off? (The Podcast Is Changing)

    You started a business to create more freedom. Yet every decision still comes back to you, problems follow you home and even your time off is spent checking your phone. In this episode, Adam Smith breaks down three patterns that keep founders trapped: Everything in the business still relies on you.Business results dictate how you feel and how you behave at home.You keep consuming more information instead of acting on what you already know.Adam also shares the 30-day test that exposes the biggest bottleneck in your business, why a £60,000 hire should not automatically be viewed as £60,000 less profit, and a simple exercise to define what success actually looks like in your life.
