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 We explore the idea that progress doesn’t always come from doing more, but from letting go of outdated identities, unhelpful routines, people-pleasing, and the constant chase for “what’s next”.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.

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?

Five years ago, A-Game was just an idea. In this episode, Smith and Mayhew rewind the clock and reflect on what it’s actually taken to build a business, grow as men, and stay in the game through uncertainty, self-doubt and hard lessons. This is an honest conversation about growth, purpose, and what happens when you stop pretending you’ve got it all figured out.
