    24/05/2026 | 1h 22 mins.
    In this episode of Mind Your Head, I sit down with Jake Stone — co-founder of Corrective Culture, former professional bodyboarder, and CHEK Practitioner.We unpack what it’s like carrying loss quietly, the anger and fear that can come with it, and how those moments can either harden you or wake you up. Jake opens up about the self-doubt that followed, the inner work he had to do to keep moving forward, and the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild from the inside out.We also get into the deeper “why” behind Corrective Culture — not just fixing bodies, but helping people feel safe in themselves again — plus practical tools around stress, routine, recovery, and creating a life that feels aligned, not just successful.If you’ve ever felt stuck in grief, scared to back yourself, or like you’re trying to hold it all together… this one will hit.

    Prime Train - Thomas Baulch Opens Up Like Never Before

    11/05/2026 | 1h 51 mins.
    This week on Mind Your Head, I sit down with Thomas Baulch, better known as Prime Train.A lot of people see the discipline, the physique, the confidence and the life he’s built online — but this conversation goes way deeper than that.We spoke about the pressure of always feeling like you need to keep pushing, the mental side of discipline, burnout, identity, rock bottom moments and the parts of life people don’t always see behind social media. Thomas opened up about the turning points that shaped him, the internal battles he’s faced, and the ongoing work it takes to stay grounded while building something big.This wasn’t just a chat about fitness or success. It became a really honest conversation about being a man, mental health, self-awareness, relationships, purpose and learning how to face yourself instead of running from things. An honest, real and important chat that I think a lot of people will connect with.

    How To Be A Better Man with Zach Hansen

    27/04/2026 | 2h
    This week on Mind Your Head, I sit down with Zach Hansen for a honest conversation about what it actually looks like to grow as a man.We start with his upbringing and the moments that shaped him early, how he handles pressure, what triggers him, the patterns he’s had to unlearn and what he’s learned about love, friendships and showing up for the people around him.We also talk mental health in a way most men actually relate to — the quiet stress, the “I’m fine” mask, how to know when you’re running low, and the small habits that genuinely help you get back to yourself.If you’ve been trying to level up your life, get your head right or just feel more like yourself again — you’ll get something out of this one
