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

  1. You Hate Drama... Really?

    You say you hate drama, yet somehow always seem to find yourself in the middle of it. The gossip, the phone calls, the endless problems and the people who constantly need your attention. But what if you're not just surrounded by drama? What if you're unknowingly contributing to it? In this…

    If I woke up tomorrow 20lbs heavier, uncomfortable in my clothes, and unhappy with the person staring back at me, what would I actually do?

  3. There Is No Free Option

    You’ll question the cost of changing while spending thousands every year without thinking twice. This episode isn’t about saving money.

  5. Never Two In A Row

    This summer I walked into the gym, trained for five minutes, and left. After 15 years of training and hundreds of people coached, I still lost the argument with myself. This episode is about what happens when life gets heavy, routines disappear, and one bad decision threatens to become a pattern....

  6. Not Everyone Wants You To Change

    You finally decide to change. To ask for help. To lose the weight. Get healthier. Rebuild your confidence. And strangely, the people you expected to support you most start creating the most friction. This episode explores the jealousy, fear, and insecurity that can surface when you begin to…

  7. Something Worth Chasing

    Weight loss has become far too serious. We obsess over calories, scales, steps, and targets but rarely stop to ask what all that work is actually for. In this episode, we explore what happens when you stop chasing a number and start building a life that genuinely excites you. From running your...

  8. Ready? Start Here...

    You've listened. You've thought about it. Maybe you've even told yourself that at some point you're going to do something about your health, fitness, or the way you feel in your own skin. This episode is where we stop thinking and start taking action. I'm giving you the exact three step method…

  9. 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…

  10. The Labels We Live By

    We all wear badges. Parent. Partner. Manager. Director. Business owner. Provider. The strong one. The successful one. But what happens when the badge becomes your entire identity? In this deeply personal episode, we go back to my final chapter in the police, what it felt like to take off the...

  11. The Truth You Already Know

    What if somebody followed you with a camera for seven days? Forget what you've said you want. What would your behaviour say? In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable and often shocking gap between intention and action, why we become experts at lying to ourselves, and the moment everything...

  12. The Excuse That Sounds Responsible

    Work gets busier. Families grow. Responsibilities multiply. Somewhere along the way, many of us quietly stop looking after ourselves and promise we'll come back when life settles down. In this episode, we explore why that day rarely arrives, reflect on the lessons that come with taking on more...

  13. Ease Is Earned

    We spend so much of our lives chasing the next milestone that we forget the most important part of any meaningful achievement... who we become along the way. In this episode, we explore why modern society has become obsessed with arriving, why quick fixes leave us feeling empty, and why the...

  14. You Can't Hate Yourself Better

    What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your body... but the station you've been listening to for years? In Episode Six, we explore why you can't hate yourself better and how changing your internal frequency changes the way you think, behave and ultimately live. This is a conversation...

  15. Swallow The Frog

    What if the thing standing between you and the life you want isn't motivation, but negotiation? In Episode Five, we explore the Swallow The Frog philosophy - a principle built around acting before your mind talks you out of it. Drawing on lessons from bodybuilding, coaching, and human behaviour,...

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

  18. The Cost Of Consumption

    We live in a world where every notification, headline, reel, and opinion is competing for our attention. In this episode, we explore why so many people feel exhausted before the day has even begun, the difference between recovery and escapism, and how constant consumption may be quietly affecting...

  19. 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…
