Ever feel like you're supposed to have it all figured out by 40? Are you too old to start again? Or that you should be further ahead?

Jay and Dan sit down this week to tackle the myth of “being done” as you hit milestone ages—and why your next chapter might just be the best one yet.

From Facebook memories and career pivots to back pain and mindset breakthroughs, this episode dives into the raw truths of ageing, reinvention, and what it really takes to build a life you love (even if that means eating metaphorical onions and skipping the painkillers).

Expect:

• A brutally honest reflection on getting older, evolving, and starting over
• Stories from building gyms, writing books, and chasing dreams that didn’t quite go to plan
• The real definition of manifestation (and why Dan might still want the Matrix blue pill)
• A spicy take on why consistency trumps motivation (especially when no one gives a sh*t)
• How pain—physical or emotional—isn’t your enemy, but your wake-up call

Whether you're 25 or 55, this episode is a reminder that the game isn't over—it’s just entering a new phase.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You’re not your past self. You can rewrite the narrative, at any age.

Most people avoid the pain, but pain is often the map. Jay shares how he's managing back pain without medication—and the deeper lesson inside that.

The 10-Year Illusion: A decade can fly by. Make sure the next one doesn’t pass on autopilot.

Stop waiting for validation. You don’t need everyone to like you—you need to start liking yourself.

In this punchy and perspective-shifting episode, Jay and Dan go deep on a topic most entrepreneurs don’t take seriously enough: building your business with the end in mind. Whether you're scaling a new venture or already knee-deep in the hustle, this episode will make you pause and ask the big questions:

• Is your business serving your life—or stealing it?

• What happens if you step away?

• Can your business run without you?

The lads share personal stories, savage truths, and plenty of laughs (including naked fire alarm evacuations, Highland cow walks, and uni nights powered by VKs). But at the heart of it is a message you can’t afford to ignore—success without sustainability is a ticking time bomb.

In this episode, Jay and Dan take a delightful detour from their usual business and personal development banter. Instead of talking tactics, they dive into the stories, books, and films that have genuinely changed their lives.

If you're looking for a fresh dose of inspiration (and a few laughs), this one's for you.

• Dan's Pick: Aliens – A sci-fi classic with pulse rifles, space Marines, and a badass survivor. Sigourney Weaver's resilience and grit left a lasting impression on Dan’s life and even… his dating preferences?

• Jay's Pick: Good Will Hunting – A masterclass in talent, self-sabotage, and the power of mentorship. Also, the only film he had on his iPad for years (not mad about it).
