What does it take to stay strong in the face of life’s toughest challenges?

This week, Andy welcomes his son and fellow Art of Brill Trainer, Ollie Cope, for a fun and insightful conversation about resilience.

They kick things off by sharing the incredible story of Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart, a World War I soldier whose grit and determination were legendary.

From simple habits like counting backward from five to the Finnish concept of ‘Sisu,’ Andy and Ollie offer practical tips anyone can use to help build their resilience levels.

More than just bouncing back, they explore how true resilience fuels personal growth and everyday confidence.

Tune in to discover fresh techniques and inspiring stories that’ll help you become stronger and more adaptable in every area of life!

Ever feel like everyone’s watching your every move?

In this episode, Andy tackles the ‘Spotlight Effect’ - the surprising psychological tendency to overestimate how much attention others pay to us.

Think of that time you had a coffee stain on your coat and worried everyone would notice. Chances are, nobody did - most people are too focused on their own little mishaps. This tendency can undermine your self-esteem and limit your potential.

So, tune in to learn a bit more, discover a concept Andy calls “FOPO” and ultimately figure out how you can step out of your own spotlight, when you need to.

In this episode, Andy talks about anxiety and our relationship with it in today’s world.

Recognising the complexities of modern life, he highlights the importance of appreciating the present while acknowledging the challenges created by overstimulation, fake news, excessive screen time, and the never-ending buffet of convenience and overindulgence.

He shares a completely true, made-up story about a doctor who invents a cure for anxiety. It’s a tongue-in-cheek tale about the paradox of trying to eliminate worry - and the potential consequences of doing so.

This is a deep and thought-provoking episode, designed to spark honest discussion about anxiety and the wider pressures surrounding mental health. Whether it helps you manage anxiety a little better or recognise the importance of seeking proper support, this episode is a must-listen.
