You hit the income target, buy the car, book the holiday. Then the goalposts move and you’re straight back to chasing the next thing. When do you actually get to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build?

In this solo episode, Adam shares seven rules for a free and fulfilling life, drawn from his own fuck-ups, victories and years of coaching successful men.

From attaching happiness to business milestones to saying things you don’t believe just to fit in, he looks at the habits that leave you successful on paper and miserable behind closed doors.

We cover:

• Why the next achievement never seems to be enough.
• What your criticism of others might reveal about you.
• Questioning what’s considered normal, including drinking.
• The cost of trying to make everyone like you.
• Learning to question your thoughts before believing them.
• Letting go of other people’s opinions.
• Giving yourself permission to enjoy life now.

If you keep telling yourself you’ll relax, make a change or start enjoying yourself when things settle down, this episode is for you.

Ever leave a meeting and spend the rest of the day picking apart what you said? Wondering whether you spoke too much, annoyed someone or made yourself look like an idiot?

In this episode of A-Game Unfiltered, Adam Smith and Adam Mayhew discuss why you keep replaying conversations and how to start breaking the pattern. We explore people-pleasing, fear of being judged and how quickly an unanswered message or a comment from your boss can take over your evening.

We cover:

• How you turn assumptions about other people into facts.
• Why judging yourself for overthinking makes it more exhausting.
• A simple process for questioning an unhelpful thought.
• How movement, breathing and daily practices can help.
• Why saying “I always do this” keeps you stuck.

If you’re still thinking about a conversation everyone else has probably forgotten, this one’s for you.

You’ve got the career, the business, the house, the family and the things you once thought would make you feel successful.

So why do you still need a drink to switch off?

In this episode, Adam Mayhew talks about why so many successful men rely on alcohol at the end of a stressful day or week, and why the thing you think is helping you relax could actually be contributing to the anxiety, overthinking, poor sleep, low energy and inability to properly switch off.

I also share my own experience of becoming alcohol-free over eight years ago, why the first 90 days can be so important, and what happens when you finally stop using alcohol to suppress what’s going on underneath.

Going alcohol-free isn’t just about removing the drink. It forces you to learn how to handle your thoughts, emotions, stress and pressure differently.

If everything looks successful on paper but you know you’re not operating at your best, this episode is for you.
