ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm James & not long ago, I was a very anxious and somewhat overwhelmed husband & dad.

After about 12 years of setbacks & enough coffee to sink a ship, I’m a much happier dad.

As previously mentioned, I want to try & help other dads be the best they can without losing their mental health.

Mental health battles are something I am all too familiar with.

In 2010, my GP suggested I do a 12-week CBT course with the NHS. During this course, I was diagnosed as having Pure OCD, which explained a lot.

Performance & Biohacking for Business Leaders

Drawing from his experience as a top 2% Ironman athlete, Nick shares how leaders can optimize their energy, focus, and recovery through biohacking strategies. He connects physical conditioning, mental clarity, and executive performance, offering practical steps for leaders to sustain peak performance without burnout.

Why discipline and surrender matter more than hustle

We’ve been told that hustling harder is the key to a better life — but for many, it only leads to exhaustion, anxiety, or unhealthy coping habits. Nick learned this firsthand when chasing success left him burnt out and disconnected. What turned things around wasn’t more pushing, but two practices most people overlook: surrender and discipline. Surrender means letting go of the habits or patterns that keep you stuck, and discipline means building small, steady routines that bring you back to health and clarity. Drawing from his own journey of recovery, Nick shows why these two forces matter far more than hustle if you want lasting energy, connection, and wellbeing.

Why Success Makes Leaders Lonely—and Why That’s an Organizational Risk

Isolation at the top isn’t a character flaw; it’s a leading indicator of burnout, secrecy, and bad decisions that can cascade through a company. Nick Jonsson—ranked the world’s #1 thought leader on Executive Loneliness and author of _Executive Loneliness_—turns a taboo into a leadership imperative. Drawing on lived recovery, global research, and years coaching senior executives, he reframes loneliness as a system problem that demands a system fix. His 5 Steps to Holistic Leadership™—Surrender, Connection, Purpose, Goals, Discipline—give leaders a practical, stigma-free playbook to move from silent strain to sustainable performance. Nick’s approach is disarmingly candid and deeply actionable: how to build psychologically safe peer forums, measure connection like any other KPI, and replace performative toughness with habits that boost engagement, retention, and decision quality. It’s the conversation leaders avoid—delivered by someone who’s been there, and knows how to get them out.
