Time to put this BS myth to bed once and for all Read time: 5 minutes If the coaching career goes tits up, I can always go into the decorating business π I'm in the middle of packing all my crap up and leaving Barcelona, which involves me tearing down and repairing my lovely office, which you've most likely seen in some of my content.

When life gives me lemons, I serve you up some thirst-quenching lemonade Read time: 4 minutes I've been in the coaching business for well over a decade now, and when I think back to the person I was back then, that sh*t makes me laugh, cringe, and cry all at once π I suppose we'd all laugh a little when we think back to our 23-year-old selves. Without sounding too dramatic, I had a few rough-ass days last week. Easily some of the worst I've experienced. But despite that, I've been able to do...

Your metabolism isnβt broken. Youβre just not doing this... Read time: 5 minutes I got to tick off another of the great European cities at the weekend by finally getting my butt over to Amsterdam.

Why Morning Light Might Be the Most Underrated Health Habit Youβre Ignoring Read time: 5 minutes I grew up in Ireland and then spent the majority of my 20s in London, so my life has always involved me doing two things: Mentioning the weather as small talk. Complaining about said weather. It's just kinda our thing π But since moving to Barcelona a couple of years ago, my relationship with the weather has changed, and all for the right reasons.

I won't let you fail, and I'll show you how... Read time: 4 minutes I promise this isn't a dig at you, more a universal meme for anyone who has let January slip by them and they're now onto their 3rd type of detox tea this year π But in all seriousness, it's not just another January that's come and gone; for the average person, it represents 0.11% of their life.

I wasn't lying π I never thought I'd use the phrase "deep-throating" in my newsletter, but there you go π Anyway, talking of things that you never thought would happen, here's one you definitely knew...

I know what I do, I research what I don't, and I always stay in my lane. I can't guarantee you many things, well, I've got at least two: The line...

It's the most important macronutrient, but should your protein intake increase as you age? Read time: 6 minutes How are those resolutions going so far? I was having a chat with someone on LinkedIn today, and they told me that they've already thrown the towel in on theirs.
