Today’s conversation is with Nico Carrillo.

Nico Carrillo is one of the most dangerous Muay Thai fighters on the planet and a rising star in ONE Championship.

Known as “The King of The North,” Nico’s story is one of redemption, discipline, and relentless self-belief.

We go back to where it all started—growing up in Scotstoun, falling into the gang lifestyle, and being involved in a serious incident in his teens.

Expect to learn:

• How Muay Thai became the path that pulled Nico out of gang life and led to full-time fighting—quitting his electrician trade just a month before qualifying
• The mentors and role models who helped shape his mindset and discipline
• The financial realities of building a career in combat sports
• How Nico developed his devastating body shots and skilful clinch work
• What it meant to defeat legends like Nong-O in ONE Championship
• How he bounced back from a first-round loss to Nabil and the decision to move up a weight class
• Why he stays lean, focused, and fight-ready year-round
• Nico’s love for ultra-marathons and what running teaches him about mental toughness
• The influence of David Goggins and how tools like visualisation
• Why we live in a fortunate to learn from experts on podcasts like Alex Hormozi & Chris Williamson
• The impact of his strength and conditioning coach Ross McGaffney and his close relationship with his coach JP Gallacher
• His thoughts on being a role model and the message he’d give to directionless young men in the UK
• The mindset required to reach the top of combat sports and stay there

Expect inspiration, hard truths, and a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to make it to the top in combat sports.

Today’s conversation is with Sasha Yanshin, a data analyst turned content creator whose brutally honest commentary on the UK economy has earned him a loyal audience across YouTube and social media.

Sasha studied Maths at Oxford before going on to work with major organisations like Phones4U, Barclays, Capital One, MBNA, HSBC, Mastercard, RBS, and Tesco Bank. He’s now best known for his YouTube channels Sasha Yanshin and Sasha Takes on the UK, where he cuts through political spin and media narratives to explain what’s really going on with the UK economy.

• Why “unexpected” is the most misleading word in economic headlines
• The collapsing UK high street — barbers, vape shops, and money laundering concerns
• The real impact of business rates and National Insurance hikes on small businesses
• Labour’s rumoured wealth tax — will it actually generate revenue or destroy it?
• The hidden truth about National Insurance and how it misleads workers
• How the minimum wage has risen 60% in 5 years, and why that isn’t as helpful as it seems
• UK’s unfunded pension liabilities at 200% of GDP — is this sustainable?
• Wages are up — but why that might not be a good thing
• The brain drain — why global innovators are fleeing the UK
• Why US culture encourages entrepreneurship more than the UK - and how we fix that
• Sasha’s take on AI’s potential economic impact, and what needs to change for the UK to progress

Today’s conversation is with Alex Hobern – content creator, sports presenter, & founder of Flint Social.

Alex has worn many hats over the years, from reality TV to social-first content creation and now carving a space for himself in the world of sports media. But beneath it all is a personal story of identity, reinvention, and fatherhood.

We explore how Alex felt lost until his 30s – a sentiment increasingly shared by many in our generation – and how reconnecting with childhood interests and passions led to a meaningful career shift. This episode dives into the realities of building a personal brand while raising a child and staying true to your values online and off.

In this episode we cover:

• How Alex transitioned into sports presenting
• The balance between being authentic and professional on camera
• Working alongside heroes like Lawrence Dallaglio & Marcus Smith
• What it would take to make presenting a full-time career
• Fatherhood, identity, and what it means to lead by example
• Navigating “Dadfluencer” life & social media boundaries with your child
• Fitness routines as a Dad
• Dialling in for peak performance with Puresport electrolytes & CBD roll-ons
• Winning The Circle in 2018 and how it changed things
• Launching Flint Social to produce premium, authentic video content

Whether you’re a new parent, a creator navigating modern media, or someone trying to find your way into a more meaningful life — Alex’s story will resonate deeply.
