Today’s conversation is with George TheTinMen.

George is a content creator, pro-men’s advocate and researcher.

His work is rooted in data, cultural analysis, and a no-nonsense approach to highlighting the growing challenges facing young men in modern society.

We unpack the key statistics, overlooked issues, and cultural narratives that are shaping, and often undermining, men today. From education to mental health, the realities of modern masculinity are explored without the usual sugar-coating.

Expect to learn:

• What drove George to “grasp the nettle” and speak up for men and boys
• The shocking reversal in educational outcomes since Title IX, with young men falling behind for decades
• How the number of young men not in education, employment, or training has soared—up 40% post-pandemic
• Why George believes the political left has abandoned men and boys
• The truth about “toxic masculinity” and how male instincts are misunderstood
• The reality behind the gender pay gap that rarely gets discussed
• Startling statistics on male suicide and why current interventions aren’t working
• Why “talking” about mental health isn’t enough for men—the boiling pot analogy
• The disturbing rise in sextortion cases targeting young men
• The crisis of male role models, with 1 in 4 state schools in England having no male teachers
• Why shoulder-to-shoulder time matters more for men than traditional sit-down talks
• Reflections on mature masculinity and the concept of being of service to others
• The growing issue of male body dysmorphia in the age of social media
• Practical steps to support men’s mental health and challenge harmful stereotypes

If you care about better outcomes for young men and understanding the cultural forces at play, this conversation is a must-listen.

Today’s conversation is with Craig Ballantyne.

Craig is an entrepreneur, author of The Perfect Day Formula and The Discipline Manifesto and most recently The Dark Side of Discipline, and widely known as “The World’s Most Disciplined Man.”

We explore the fine line between discipline and dysfunction, how to identify when you’re applying effort to the wrong problems, and how to build sustainable systems that align with your identity.

Today’s conversation is with Nico Carrillo.

Nico Carrillo is one of the most dangerous Muay Thai fighters on the planet and a rising star in ONE Championship.

Known as “The King of The North,” Nico’s story is one of redemption, discipline, and relentless self-belief.

We go back to where it all started—growing up in Scotstoun, falling into the gang lifestyle, and being involved in a serious incident in his teens.

Expect to learn:

• The mentors and role models who helped shape his mindset and discipline
• The financial realities of building a career in combat sports
• How Nico developed his devastating body shots and skilful clinch work
• What it meant to defeat legends like Nong-O in ONE Championship
• How he bounced back from a first-round loss to Nabil and the decision to move up a weight class
• Why he stays lean, focused, and fight-ready year-round
• Nico’s love for ultra-marathons and what running teaches him about mental toughness
• The influence of David Goggins and how tools like visualisation
• Why we live in a fortunate to learn from experts on podcasts like Alex Hormozi & Chris Williamson
• The impact of his strength and conditioning coach Ross McGaffney and his close relationship with his coach JP Gallacher
• His thoughts on being a role model and the message he’d give to directionless young men in the UK
• The mindset required to reach the top of combat sports and stay there

Expect inspiration, hard truths, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to make it to the top in combat sports.
