Episode description
In this raw solo episode of The Big Lad Podcast, I open up about feeling burnt out after 13.5 years in the gym and 10.5 years in corporate life.
We talk motivation vs discipline, why 90s kids had the best childhood but the hardest adulthood, and the brutal cost of living in the UK right now.
I break down what’s keeping me going when life feels like a treadmill, and why showing up still matters — even when the system feels broken
💬 Topics Covered:
- Gym consistency without motivation
- Corporate burnout and modern work culture
- Being a 90s kid in a broken adult system
- UK house prices vs wages — the harsh reality
- Stoic mindset and quotes, and discipline over hype
