This episode is a deeply personal one. We’re lifting the lid on a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough airtime – what happens when both partners go through midlife hormonal changes at the same time.

That point where menopause and andropause collide, creating a perfect storm of symptoms, misunderstandings, and emotional strain. But also, an opportunity.

We’ll be sharing our own journey, the truth about how it’s affected our relationship, and the tools we’ve used to stay connected, resilient, and supportive through the messiness of midlife.

We hope you enjoy listening.

This week, we're joined by the brilliant Dr. Eliza Filby - historian, writer, speaker, and one of the UK’s leading voices on generations and how they’re reshaping work, family, identity, and society itself.

Eliza’s work explores how the beliefs and behaviours of different age groups are evolving in today’s rapidly changing world - from the Bank of Mum and Dad to the shifting sands of career, purpose, and legacy in midlife.

We dive into what makes this midlife moment so unique, how to bridge the generational divide, and why understanding your time and context can be a superpower.

It’s insightful, thought-provoking, and packed with gold for anyone navigating the complexities of modern midlife.

In this episode, we’re joined by the insightful journalist and author, Stephen Armstrong, for a candid conversation about Generation X - those of us sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Millennials.

Having seen Stephen’s article 50 And Out in The Independent, where he talked about the future of Gen X, we just knew we had to get him onto our podcast to dig deeper.

Stephen reveals the unique struggles Gen X men face as they hit midlife, from career crossroads to dealing with the weight of unspoken expectations. We reminisce about the freedom and world of possibility that followed the end of the cold war, backpacking, music and of course, we can't talk about Gen X without touching on the island that defined a generation and inspired one of Stephen’s books - Ibiza.

Tune in for an eye-opening, fun chat about where we are now, and what it means to be a Gen X-er in 2025.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough - the double standards at midlife for men and women - in the press and in society as a whole.

Increasingly, and brilliantly - midlife women are being encouraged to see this stage of their life as empowering and liberating - a positive midlife crisis - as they question their marriages, sexuality and what’s next for them. However, for men, this stage of life is often mocked. They’re labelled as grumpy, broken, or just going through a cliché.

We’ve seen this first-hand. James has faced resistance from female journalists unwilling to even entertain the idea of male midlife struggles — writing it off as “just another moan from a middle-aged man.”

But here’s the truth: both men and women deserve space to evolve, reflect, and grow in this season of life — without shame or judgment.

So today, we’re calling out the bias, sharing our personal experiences, and exploring how we can rewrite the narrative — together.

Let’s get into it.

In this episode we’re shining a light on a topic that quietly affects almost one in two men by the age of fifty: hair loss.

Now - losing your hair might sound purely cosmetic, but it can gnaw at confidence, self-image and even mental health. So what happens when you decide to take action—publicly?

My guest knows a thing or two about living in the spotlight. You may have seen him masterminding the business behind those signature super-car wraps at Yannimize. Today, Bav parks the Lamborghinis and opens up about something far more personal: his recent hair-transplant journey.

In this episode Bav gets brutally honest about the mirror moment when he said “enough,” the deep-dive research, the process, and why he’s documented every step so other guys don’t have to suffer in silence. We’ll dig into costs, recovery, expectations, and the surprising mental-health lift that no styling product can match.

Whether you’re weighing a procedure yourself, supporting a partner, or just curious, this is worth a listen - there’s a little car chat too!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about patience and the often uncomfortable season of waiting. Whether you're waiting for clarity, breakthrough or healing — in your work, finances or relationships - this is for you.

We’ll explore what it means to wait well, why the pause has purpose, and how to find peace in the in-between. Let’s lean into the stillness and discover what it’s trying to teach us.

Today we’re talking hormones, strength, and sustainable energy for midlife guys - with James.

Six months ago James' bloodwork flagged borderline-low testosterone. He felt it too - sluggish mornings, stubborn belly-fat, zero motivation in the gym. Rather than jump straight to injections, he decided to run a personal experiment. Fast-forward to his latest lab results: his total T is up by almost 50 percent.

So in this short episode James breaks down the exact six-pillar protocol that moved the needle: dialling-in sleep, lifting heavy, fuelling with the right fats and micros, trimming body-fat, taming stress, and clearing out everyday hormone disruptors. Each pillar comes with one action you can start today—no matter your schedule or budget.

Quick caveat before we dive in: James is not a doctor, and this podcast is not medical advice. It’s based on his personal experience.

Ready to turn the dial up on strength, focus, and drive? Grab your coffee—or maybe a glass of water—hit that ‘Do Not Disturb’ button, and let’s get into it!”
