Show Notes
This week on Mind Your Head, I sit down with Thomas Baulch, better known as Prime Train.A lot of people see the discipline, the physique, the confidence and the life he’s built online — but this conversation goes way deeper than that.We spoke about the pressure of always feeling like you need to keep pushing, the mental side of discipline, burnout, identity, rock bottom moments and the parts of life people don’t always see behind social media. Thomas opened up about the turning points that shaped him, the internal battles he’s faced, and the ongoing work it takes to stay grounded while building something big.This wasn’t just a chat about fitness or success. It became a really honest conversation about being a man, mental health, self-awareness, relationships, purpose and learning how to face yourself instead of running from things. An honest, real and important chat that I think a lot of people will connect with.
