One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is hearing how a traumatic experience from childhood continued to influence his behaviour, confidence, and decision-making for years without him even realising it.We explore how experiences from our past can quietly shape our present reality, how the subconscious mind stores these experiences, and why so many people unknowingly live out patterns and beliefs that were formed decades earlier.Together, we discuss the importance of bringing awareness to unconscious beliefs, understanding where fear comes from, and learning how to rewire the mind to create a completely different future.We also dive deep into the role of nervous system regulation and why so many people struggle with confidence, clarity, and performance because they are constantly operating from a state of stress, overwhelm, and overthinking. Ben shares how breathwork, reflection, self-awareness, and mindset work have helped him become calmer, more focused, more confident, and more effective in both life and business.The conversation then shifts into business, sales, leadership, and personal development.Ben explains how changing his internal state led to record days, record weeks, and record months in his business, and why becoming detached from outcomes was one of the biggest breakthroughs in his entrepreneurial journey.We discuss the relationship between mindset and financial success, why confidence cannot be bought externally, and how self-image plays a major role in determining the level of success a person experiences.We also explore:• How childhood experiences shape adult behaviour• Social anxiety, fear of judgement, and confidence• The subconscious mind and limiting beliefs• Nervous system regulation and emotional resilience• Self-awareness and understanding your thought patterns• Identity, self-image, and personal transformation• Why confidence is an inside job• Detachment, abundance, and business growth• Leadership lessons from successful entrepreneurs• Extreme ownership and personal responsibility• Building a coaching business from the ground up• Growing through YouTube and organic content• The future of appointment setting and AI• Why impact should always come before income• The importance of giving without expecting anything in return• Creating a life that feels aligned with who you truly areThis episode is packed with practical insights, powerful mindset shifts, personal stories, and lessons that can be applied to business, relationships, confidence, performance, and everyday life.Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, a business owner, or simply someone looking to better understand yourself and unlock your potential, there is something in this conversation for everyone.Enjoy the episode.------------------------------Mental Performance CoachingAre self-doubt, overthinking, or a lack of confidence holding you back from reaching your full potential?Through Mental Performance Coaching, I help entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals build unshakeable confidence, clarity, and self-belief so they can perform at their highest level.DM me on Instagram - the word CLARITY to find out how we can unlock the next level of you.

We break down the real reason most people stay stuck — and it’s not lack of knowledge. It’s the inability to take action when it actually matters.Bruno shares how he went from insecurity and hesitation to building confidence through doing the uncomfortable, putting himself out there publicly, and leaning into rejection instead of avoiding it.We dive deep into identity, ego, self-trust, and what it truly takes to step into your next level — even when you don’t feel ready.This isn’t theory.

So they made it happen.The conversation dives into how Exhale grew through relentless consistency, cultural storytelling, and short-form content on TikTok & Instagram that opened doors across the global music scene.Finn breaks down what actually makes music marketing work today: understanding audiences, working with algorithms instead of against them, and building momentum through reputation, loyalty, and cultural relevance rather than gimmicks.James and Finn also discuss working around artists like Skepta and what can be learned from that level of excellence: perseverance toward greatness, protecting creative energy, and staying in the game long enough to build legacy.Beyond music, Finn shares his philosophy on business and life:why service is the foundation of real successwhy reputation beats money — and why Exhale turns down deals that don’t align with their valueshow negotiation is emotional intelligence combined with clarity of intentionbalancing bold vision with grounded executionwhy purpose unlocks creativity — and what happens when direction is missingThe episode closes with reflections on discipline, environment, mentorship, optimism, and the ethos that keeps Exhale strong: a team-first culture built on loyalty, gratitude, and conviction.Key Topics CoveredFrom West of Ireland beginnings to global music campaignsWorking with major artists while protecting artistic integrityThe “right people” principle: how algorithms reward relevanceCultural storytelling & narrative angles in music rolloutsLessons from Skepta: longevity, excellence, and staying tuned inIntegrity in business: choosing reputation over quick moneyNegotiation, leadership & emotional intelligenceWhy purpose fuels creativity and long-term successFollow Exhale Studios: https://www.instagram.com/exhalefinn/Follow Uppbeat: https://www.instagram.com/uppbeat/

In this generational conversation, we dive deep into synchronicity, meditation as “brain training,” identity creation, and the spiritual side of entrepreneurship. Josh shares how to select thoughts instead of being ruled by them and how the untethered soul by Michael Alan Singer had a profound impact on his life, why imagination is “the eye of God,” and how consistent inner prompting (affirmations, vision, and feeling) turns into outer results. We cover the lag effect, faith vs. fear, building brotherhood and real-world community, men’s mental health, the power of environment for identity shifts, and anchoring success in humility and God.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Meditation = reps for the mind: train awareness so you can select thoughts instead of fusing with them.Repetition carries conviction: repeated self-image prompts the subconscious; feeling is the accelerator.Cause precedes effect: upgrade inner assumptions; reality lags, then conforms.Faith vs. fear: both are belief in the unseen—choose your direction.Identity loves environment: new places make new patterns easier to install.Brotherhood matters: real-life community prevents isolation and keeps standards high.Stay humble: success sticks when rooted in gratitude and God.BOOKS & IDEAS MENTIONEDThe Untethered Soul — Michael A.

Watch This NEXT: https://youtu.be/nmheM7IyPhsRob Lipsett is a Youtube, Ted X Speaker & a Mastermind Facilitator In Ireland’s first-ever cinematic podcast, Rob Lipsett delivers a raw and energising conversation exploring the mindset, habits, and standards required to build a powerful life. The episode dives into Rob’s personal manifestation process, the importance of visualisation, and how harnessing emotions like gratitude and power can shift your reality.He unpacks why the partner you choose is the most important decision a man will ever make, how to balance love over lust, and why staying in shape is non-negotiable for long-term relationship success. Rob speaks on evening routines as the foundation for a productive day, the link between physical health and masculine leadership, and how the body reveals more about a man’s character than his words ever could.The discussion also touches on the epidemic of cheap dopamine—from porn to alcohol—and how it robs men of their vitality, confidence, and drive. Rob shares why he believes 90% of problems disappear when a man becomes fit and healthy, and why someone like Donald Trump can keep going strong into his 80s: because energy, momentum, and mission keep a man alive.There’s also powerful insight into testosterone, oratory, self-mastery, and the role of God and prayer in living with conviction. These topics don’t just inspire — they lay the foundation for what it truly takes to Become The Man in life: focused, grounded, powerful, and ready to lead.Full Video Podcast on YouTube - James HemptonFull Audio Podcast on Apple Podcasts & Spotify - ‘The James Hempton Show’______________________________Podcast Sponsors:Bond Brothers - https://www.instagram.com/bondbrothers_dublin/________________(00:00) Bond Brother Ad (00:47) The Beginning (01:00) Ireland’s 1st Cinematic Podcast (01:30) How much influence do we have in creating our own Realities?

Dan Campion is a the Owner & Founder of Prymal Productions, Podcaster and an Athlete.In this episode, we dive deep into The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy and explore how small, consistent actions lead to massive results over time. We start by discussing the foundational principle of the compound effect and how it plays out in real life — including how you can jumpstart your income, life and success.We explore the idea of being the exception, and how harnessing your focus can help you take over the world in your own way. From building success in life to understanding the negative ramifications of the compound effect, we uncover the hidden power behind everyday choices. Using relatable stories, like that of Scott, Larry, and Brad over 27 months, we illustrate how long-term habits create drastically different outcomes.We then shift into the concept of personal responsibility — for your success, your relationships, and your future. Referencing Aristotle’s wisdom that “we are what we repeatedly do,” we unpack how unconscious choices shape our lives, and why tracking behaviors and habits is essential for long-term growth.The conversation moves into habits, identity, and the importance of asking yourself “why” behind your actions. We emphasize the value of delayed gratification and how lasting transformation often happens beneath the surface before it becomes visible.As we break down the momentum chapter, we touch on Newton’s Law of Motion and how consistency beats occasional greatness. Using the powerful imagery of the pickaxe cartoon, we highlight how persistence builds momentum — either in a positive or negative direction.Finally, we explore the chapter on influences — how we are shaped by the people around us and, increasingly, by those we see online. We categorize influences into three types and distinguish between anchors and engines in our lives. The episode concludes with the final chapter: acceleration — a call to action to take ownership, surround yourself with uplifting people, and double down on the small things that matter most._________________________________________Dan's Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/thedancampion/Prymal's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/prymalpro/____________________________________________Lets Connect: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jameshempton_/Twitter - https://x.com/JamesHemptonYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@jameshemptonNewsletter - https://mailchi.mp/7732fab885a5/helios____________________________________

Dan Campion and Brian O'Loughlin reflect on an evening spent attending Ryan Holiday’s The Stoic Life tour.We share key lessons from Stoicism and how its principles have shaped our lives.The four cardinal virtues of Stoicism—courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance—are the foundation of a formidable mindset, helping us navigate life while maintaining self-control.A virtue is the quality of being morally good and Stoicism teaches us to focus on what’s within our control, overcome negative emotions, live in the present moment, help others for the common good, and find opportunity in every obstacle.Dan Campion -https://www.instagram.com/thedancampion/Brian O'Loughlin -https://www.instagram.com/brian_o_loughlin/Recorded in the Greatest Podcast Studio in the World -https://www.instagram.com/p/DF8POuuNYAY/?img_index=1Get In Touch: Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/jameshempton_/Twitter - https://x.com/JamesHemptonYoutube-https://www.youtube.com/@jameshempton_______________Episodes You Might Enjoy:#24 - Luke Mooney - 10 Lessons From Chris Williamsonhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3e5xPhJgAoYHSJASalDy5V?si=KVZvPjMuTIOBjQ76wQRafw___________#22 -Jordan B Peterson 12 Rules For Life - Dan Campion & Brian 0'Loughlinhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/7K8eyfcN4P0F4q90MgDcJb?si=SOaEcKv6SP-EN-VBcYV3NQ_____________

Ian Maher is a Marathon Runner and Media Producer & the man who sat down with me to discuss the book Born To Run by Christopher McDougall, the book is written around the Hidden Tribe called the Tarahumara that live in the Copper Canyons of Mexico, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen, In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of running, inspired by insights from Born To Run by Christopher McDougall. We start by exploring why humans are the greatest runners on the planet along with shared experiences from the Tarahumara otherwise known as the Rarámuri [those who run fast]. We discuss essential preparation tips for tackling a full marathon and the idea that humans are inherently built to run. Are modern running shoes causing more harm than good? We weigh in on this and the relentless nature of running. We take a deep dive into the culture of the Tarahumara tribe, renowned for their endurance running, and reflect on the sheer exhilaration and freedom that running brings. We talk about the stories we tell ourselves as runners and why running is considered mankind’s first fine art. We touch on the mental health benefits, examining how running can alleviate depression and change emotional states through movement. The episode also highlights legendary ultra-runner Caballo Blanco, also known as Micah True and common running injuries like plantar fasciitis. Lastly, we consider the differences between running alone versus in a group, and how each approach impacts the running experience.--------------------------------------------00:00 - Intro 00:35 - Born To Run by Christopher McDougall01:20 - How to get into Running 03:00 - Clontarf Half Marathon 04:03 - Preparation for a Full Marathon 06:50 - Humans are Built to Run11:20 - Are running shoes causing more injuries?15:01 - Running is relentless 16:50 - The Tarahumara Tribe 20:21 - Exhilaration of Running 28:40 - The Story you Tell Yourself 33:00 - Running was Mankind’s 1st fine Art34:30 - You’ve been running through my mind all day35:50 - Alleviating depression through running [Study]38:40 - Move the Body to Change your Emotion41:30 - Caballo Blanco aka Micah True 45:00 - Plantar fasciitis446:45 - Running in a Pack vs Solo------------------------------------------------Lets Connect: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jameshempton_/Twitter - https://x.com/JamesHemptonYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@jameshemptonNewsletter - https://mailchi.mp/7732fab885a5/helios

We also discuss the importance for a young man to go out and seek his own independence along with his training for his upcoming Jiu-Jitsu competition and why we all need to be partaking in a martial art to have the ability to defend ourselves along with building up our confidence. To celebrate another great competitor, we discussed the man that has eclipsed the UFC, MR CONOR MCGREGOR with his achievement of 10 years with the UFC.

Dan Campion is a podcaster, podcast producer and owner of Prymal Productions, and a good friend and mentor of mine. Myself and Dan crossed paths just under a year ago when I was getting started on my podcasting journey. The conversation always flows between us, so I had to have him back on to discuss one of the greatest books ever written that is 'How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. This book is regarded as a manual for life and has proven techniques that will teach you how to change people's behaviour by changing your own, how to communicate more effectively, enhance your people skills, become a leader and how to resolve any arguments that you may encounter. I loved reading and listening to this book and have applied the principles directly to my everyday engagements with anyone that I meet with great success. The principles that we discuss are: -Don't criticise, condemn or complain -Be honest and sincere in appreciation -Become genuinely interested in other people -Smile -You can't win an argument along with much more..... __________________________________ Follow Dan - https://www.instagram.com/prymalpro/?hl=en Get in touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameshempton_/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7LtMj2yYh6uD0fYdEwAkvA Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesHempton
