Show Notes
Dr Robert Glover is a therapist, coach and an author. Why do so many men struggle to be authentic in relationships? Why does “being a nice guy” often backfire? And how can men live in a way that attracts love, purpose, and connection without chasing status or approval? Expect to learn why women often find “nice guy” behavior unattractive, the three traits that make men genuinely magnetic, why hiding your true self comes across as creepy or even predatory, the cultural lessons Glover discovered from life in Mexico, how therapy and releasing shame can transform your relationships, why social media and AI are disconnecting us from real life, the importance of men finding brotherhood and safe spaces to open up, how to stop over-pathologizing everything as trauma, and why embracing life’s struggles makes you more fulfilled, attractive, and resilient—and much more.

In this episode, Lewis shares one of the most honest things he's ever recorded: a year of journaling the same self-critical thoughts every day, the gap between who he was being and who he knew he could be, and the moment something finally shifted. He discusses what it actually takes to break a cycle, why you can't always do it alone, and what it means to come back to yourself.
In this episode, Lewis shares why the obsession with optimising every part of your performance is quietly making you more fragile, not stronger. He discusses the shift from an optimisation mindset to a maximisation mindset, and why the ability to make the most of what you have on any given day is the real edge that separates the best from everyone else.
In this episode, Lewis gives an honest update on life in Barcelona, the slow growth of his business, and where he's taking things next, including the app, new products, and who he wants to work with. He also answers your questions on coaching attitudes, procrastination, comparison, standards, and why waiting to feel mentally ready before a performance is a gamble you can't afford to take.
In this episode, Lewis shares why waiting to feel confident before you act is the most unreliable strategy an athlete can have, and what to do instead. He discusses how to create a performer self that is separate from your true self, how to find the trigger that switches you between the two, and why behaving your way into a feeling will always be more consistent than feeling your way into a behaviour.
In this episode, Lewis shares why the most underrated edge in sport and high performance isn't the advanced stuff - it's the basics, done with full intention and at a level most people aren't willing to go to. He discusses his concept of raising your floor rather than reaching for your ceiling, and why when pressure hits and chaos swirls, the athlete who wins is the one who can make things simple.
