Aligned : The Unfiltered Podcast for Founders.

In this deeply honest and powerful coaching conversation, Tonie Leo opens up about his desire to become a calmer, more present father and husband. Together, we explore why so many men struggle with emotional reactivity, where those patterns often begin, and how the behaviours we witnessed growing up can continue to shape our relationships decades later. This episode is a masterclass in self-awareness, personal responsibility, and breaking generational cycles. Make the change and book a call with Adam Smith: https://calendly.com/adamsmith-agameconsultancy/meeting-with-adam-smith-a-gameEmail Us: [email protected] SmithAdam Smith is an entrepreneur, transformational coach, NLP Practitioner and Timeline Therapist with extensive experience building businesses, leading teams and developing high-performing client relationships.

In this powerful conversation, Martyn Richards joins Adam Smith to unpack a struggle that so many men quietly deal with: feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. On the surface, it starts with excessive screen time and doom scrolling - but underneath it lies something much deeper. Together, they explore self-worth, shame, confidence, childhood conditioning, and why so many high-performing men still find ways to hold themselves back, even after making huge progress in other areas of life.

In this episode, Mayhew explores one of the most powerful concepts in personal growth: the space between stimulus and response. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s timeless wisdom, he unpacks why so many men live on emotional autopilot - reacting instantly to stress, conflict, pressure, criticism, and uncertainty - and how meditation can help you regain control over your mind, emotions, and behaviour. If you’ve ever snapped too quickly, overthought a situation for hours, or felt trapped inside your own head, this conversation will give you a completely different perspective.Make the change and book a call with Adam Smith: https://calendly.com/adamsmith-agameconsultancy/meeting-with-adam-smith-a-gameEmail Us: [email protected] SmithAdam Smith is an entrepreneur, transformational coach, NLP Practitioner and Timeline Therapist with extensive experience building businesses, leading teams and developing high-performing client relationships.

In this episode of Aligned, Adam Smith sits down with Pete (the man behind the editing desk of the podcast), for an unexpectedly deep conversation about work, identity and self-worth.What begins as a discussion about feeling guilty during quieter work periods quickly uncovers something much bigger: the pressure many men place on themselves to constantly prove their value. Together, they explore fear of failure, childhood conditioning, self-deprecation, people-pleasing and the exhausting belief that productivity equals worth. Expect honest reflections, practical mindset shifts and a powerful reminder that being present is sometimes more valuable than “doing more”.Make the change and book a call with Adam Smith: https://calendly.com/adamsmith-agameconsultancy/meeting-with-adam-smith-a-gameEmail Us: [email protected] SmithAdam Smith is an entrepreneur, transformational coach, NLP Practitioner and Timeline Therapist with extensive experience building businesses, leading teams and developing high-performing client relationships.
