Today’s conversation is with Dan Wallace. Dan is former Olympic and World Champion swimmer. Dan had an incredible decorated career, winning a Gold medal at The Commonwealth Games, a Silver medal at The Olympic Games and also winning Gold at the 2015 World Championships. Expect to learn what it took for Dan to escape the comfort zone of the UK and move to the US to pursue his swimming career, the importance of getting around and pushing yourself against the very best, the self talk and preparation required to perform at your very peak in the highest pressure environments, what it was like going head to head with Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, as well as why Dan retired at the tender age of 24. Beyond these points, I know you’re going to get a lot from Dan’s perspectives on achieving your potential, working in an area of passion, and keeping your love for an an activity after it becomes your income. Oh and I think you’re going to leave hearing about Dan’s recent insane cold water and channel swims.

Today’s conversation is with Rory Lawson. Rory is a Leadership Consultant, media host, and former Scotland Rugby Captain.

Today’s conversation is with Sean Conway. Sean is an internationally acclaimed ultra-endurance athlete, author, and a renowned motivational speaker. Expect to learn how Sean came to understand the two different animals within himself, the value of leaning into activities and ventures which truly serve you, what it takes to push the mind and body to the very limit in being the first, furthest and fastest in a variety of physical challenges, and why it’s not too late to make a change in your life. Sean really embodies this last lesson as he reshaped his life from self-professed ordinary man to a 43-year-old record-breaking endurance athlete. Many of you will have heard Sean speak before about his physical endeavours and we certainly cover those here including accidentally becoming the first person to swim the length of Britain. But we’ve aimed to go deeper with this conversation and I think you’re going to take a lot of away about mindset, clarity, and living in alignment. Today’s podcast is sponsored by Hussle.

Today’s conversation is a solo podcast, but not a Q&A. It’s 23 Thoughts after turning 32 Years Old. Turning around year older is a great time to pause and reflect. It’s something I’ve made a habit of doing over the last few years. Taking time to stop, review, assess and then share the biggest lessons and reflections from the past 12 months. It’s become tradition to produce a solo podcast. n 2022, my 30 thoughts at 30. Last year, my 13 thoughts at 31. This year, you can expect to hear my reflections on family, fitness, podcasting, sales, politics, mindset and much more.

Today’s conversation is with Ruari Fairbairns. Ruari is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, podcast host and Ted-X Speaker.  Having built a successful career as an oil broker, Ruari went on a journey to redefine his relationship with alcohol and has gone onto build and inspire a movement that empowers others and challenge society's perceptions about alcohol. Expect to learn the potential cost alcohol can have on health, productivity, and relationships, the deep rooted societal impact of alcohol, the power forces, traditions and advertising spend which engrains it into so much of our lives, and why you don’t have to conform. Ruari offers insights into his journey of breaking free from alcohol, emphasising the benefits on mental clarity, physical health, and personal success. Like any time I’ve discussed a conscious reframing of alcohol and elective sobriety on the podcast, this episode does not necessarily address those impacted by Alcohol Use Disorder or an addiction to the substance. Today’s conversation is primarily focused on seeing where alcohol is holding uni back from your potential and seeing what you could unlock. Ruari shares some amazing data that just 6% of people want to give up alcohol completely, but the vast majority of the remainder surveyed do want to reduce their intake and reassess their relationship. I know this episode can help you do that. Today’s episode is sponsored and supported by Hussle. Hussle is the way to get access to 1000s of UK gyms, pools and spas with one simple membership.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Robert Glover. Dr Glover is a therapist, coach and author. Being nice has long been held up as a positive trait and something we should aim for.

In today’s episode, expect to learn where nice guy syndrome comes from, how Dr Glover himself is a recovering nice guy, the danger of the three covert contracts, how we can become integrated males, the impact on romantic relationships and business dealings of overcoming the nice guy trap.

Today’s conversation is with Oliver Burkeman. Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Our relationship with time management and productivity is a complicated one and often a flawed one. The type of person who listens to a podcast like this one knows the importance of managing time and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be trying to fit in more and achieve more in the time you have.  Expect to learn how not to fall into the efficiency trap, the importance of recognising the limitations on your time, questions you can ask yourself on what activities you should do, what your goals with time could be to feel more fulfilled, and the danger of having productivity debt.  Oliver is my favourite author and thinker on the topic of all things productivity and time management, I know you’re going to benefit from assessing your relationship with productivity and time, as well as, of course, some practical tools you can use too.

Today’s conversation is with The Critical Drinker.   Critical Drinker reviews, analyses and commentates on various forms of entertainment, primarily movies and TV shows. His YouTube channel has grown to over 2 million subscribers in the last few years and for very good reason.   Modern cinema is in a mess. It is now a lot less about entertainment and instead is focusing on pushing social, cultural and political ideologies.   Expect to hear why Hollywood has decided to push the progressive woke message, why Rotten Tomato reviews between fans and critics are so different, just what on earth has happened to the once great Star Wars brand, the process of fan baiting, and so much more.   DEI hiring policies and culture has come under the microscope in recent weeks after the failed assassination attempt of Donald Trump, very few places have been worse impacted by DEI than cinema and I think we all long for a time when movies entertain us like they used to.   It was great to host Critical Drinker on the show and he really is carrying the torch for Scottish creators on YouTube, so please show your support for this episode and share it with a friend or family member or even your Instagram story so that someone else in your life tunes in and joins the CamBro listenership this week.   Connect with the Critical Drinker: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker   Connect with Col: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/ Email List - https://mailchi.mp/548e38ba5942/colincambro My community - www.patreon.com/colcampbell  

Today’s conversation is with Connor Beaton. Connor is a men’s life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author focusing on men’s wellness and personal growth. The modern narrative for men is confusing with conflicting messages around opening up about our struggles all while being a stoic man and having your shit together. Expect to learn why all work starts in pain, the one rule of men, why there is a delta between society’s expectations and men’s realities, the myth of male vulnerability, successful mechanisms for real change, and the key steps Connor took to unfuck his life.  I’ve followed Connor’s work closely for over 18 months and know he has such strong contributions to the discussion and, of course, the actions around a better future for men, their wellbeing and lives. It was a privilege to host Connor on the show and I hope you all get huge value from the insights in the next hour. If you did, please take the time to share this episode with a friend, we really do grow and make an impact one recommendation at a time.

Today’s conversation is with David Pinsof. David is the Co-Creator of Cards Against Humanity, Researcher at UCLA Mind Labs and popular blogger on human motivation.   We are often guilty of telling ourselves a story that explains why we want particular things, particular achievements, and particular experiences. The why and stories behind these are often very flattering, and make us sound noble, but ultimately are really bullshit. We do not truly understand our motivations, and this is part of the human experience.   Expect to learn why everything is bullshit, the difference between bullshitting and lying, why it’s hard to admit you want status, why it’s so important to outperform the previous generation,  and why suffering is a vital part of life.   Connect with David: Twitter - https://twitter.com/davidPinsof/ Substack - https://www.everythingisbullshit.blog/ Connect with Col: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/ Email List - https://mailchi.mp/548e38ba5942/colincambro My community - www.patreon.com/colcampbell
