Styled By Standards
by Ross Potter
Styled By Standards is for people who know they're capable of more. Hosted by transformation coach and behavioural change specialist Ross Potter, this podcast explores the psychology behind confidence, self-respect, identity, and the standards that quietly shape the lives we live. Drawing on over 15 years in the coaching seat, more than 350 client transformations, a background in policing, personal battles with depression, and the ongoing journey of becoming a stepdad, Ross shares honest conversations, real stories, and practical insights into what it actually takes to change. This isn't a fitness podcast. It's a podcast about human behaviour. Why confidence disappears, why standards collapse under pressure, and how to rebuild trust in yourself when you've drifted away from the person you know you're capab

Your Best Is Yet To Come
So many of us spend years trying to get back to an old version of ourselves, forgetting that the life we lived back then no longer exists. In this episode, we explore why change doesn't mean you've lost yourself, how the stories we tell about who we used to be can quietly keep us stuck, and why…

The Truth You Already Know

Avoidance Charges Interest
Most people don't have an awareness problem. They have an avoidance problem. In this episode, I explore a police incident that changed the way I think about human behaviour forever and explain why so many people postpone the conversations, decisions and actions they already know they need to…

The Lie Of Monday
Nobody starts Monday expecting to fail. You mean it when you buy the gym membership. You mean it when you promise yourself this time will be different. You mean it when you tell yourself you'll start after the holiday, after Christmas or once life calms down. So why do so many people keep ending…

The Drift
Nobody wakes up one day and decides to lose themselves. It happens slowly. One compromise. One negotiation. One lowered standard at a time. In the opening episode of Styled By Standards, Ross explores why people drift away from who they are, the hidden cost of self-negotiation, and what it takes…
