In this powerful and practical episode of The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with Christian Wassell - finance professional, husband, father of two, and former client - to explore the subtle trap of living life on autopilot, and how to break free from habits that quietly undermine your well-being.

From the outside, Christian had everything: a thriving career, a beautiful family, and a seemingly perfect life. But beneath the surface, he felt constantly tired, irritable, and dissatisfied - caught in cycles of negative habits and internal frustration, knowing what he should be doing, yet struggling to actually do it.

Christian shares his journey of shifting from frustration and self-sabotage to clarity, energy, and real consistency. He discusses the importance of replacing "don'ts" with positive actions, and how embracing small, manageable habits created a powerful upward spiral in his life.

If you're stuck in negative patterns, constantly starting and stopping, or simply feeling like you're drifting through your own life - this episode will help you find clarity and create habits that genuinely stick.

It’s time to make small changes - and watch big things happen.

Stop beating yourself up. Start building yourself up.

In this empowering and deeply relatable episode of The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with Tony Roche—marketing professional, husband, father of two—to uncover what happens when life quietly slips into autopilot and you’re left feeling stuck, overweight, and disconnected.

Tony had everything sorted externally: a successful career, beautiful family, and comfortable lifestyle—but beneath the surface, he was quietly burnt out. His weight was creeping upwards, his energy was declining, and the gap between external success and inner fulfilment was growing wider by the day.

This episode explores Tony’s journey of breaking the burnout cycle and intentionally building balance back into his life. From losing over 10 kilos and reclaiming his physical health, to embedding powerful routines that boosted his energy and mental clarity—Tony shares exactly what he did to create sustainable change.

He reveals the real shifts that made the difference: mindset, small habits, and ruthless honesty about what truly mattered. Today, he’s leaner, more energised, and more present as a husband, father, and professional.

If you’re feeling burnt out or think you know what you should be doing but aren’t taking action—this conversation is your call to action.

Life isn’t about knowing what to do. It’s about doing it.

It’s time to break the cycle and build your balance.

In this candid and insightful episode of The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with James Forrest—actuary, husband, father of two grown-up kids, and current client—to explore what happens when life quietly slips out of alignment.

James had it all on paper: a successful career, stable family, and a comfortable life. But beneath the surface, he felt disconnected, unsettled, and frustrated. Despite knowing exactly what he needed to do, James struggled with inconsistency—cycling between disciplined phases and burnout, never truly feeling in control.

This is a story about confronting subtle burnout, challenging your internal narratives, and creating lasting change. James shares his journey of embedding sustainable habits, embracing stoicism, and discovering true self-awareness and discipline—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.

If you’ve ever felt like life looks perfect from the outside, but inside you’re quietly struggling—this episode is for you.

Life isn’t getting in your way—you are. The good news? You have everything you need to fix it.

It’s time to take control.
