The Gen Pop Podcast# 91 - (im)BalanceBalance is one of the most overused words in health and fitness, and we think it’s quietly keeping people stuck. We get straight into what balance actually means when the goal is fat loss, better health, and real progress: keeping the things you enjoy while staying accountable to the behaviours that move the needle.We talk through the biggest trap we see with clients: being “good” Monday to Friday, then writing off the weekend as earned downtime. That pattern can blow up your weekly calorie budget through alcohol calories, takeaways, and restaurant meals that can easily land i...
2026-06-2917 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#90 - The Morning Routine MythWaking up at 4 a.m. is not a personality, and it’s definitely not a guarantee you’ll feel good by lunchtime. We’re sharing a straight-talking hot take on morning routines, because we keep seeing people build elaborate “perfect mornings” that look productive but actually wreck sleep, add stress, and fall apart the minute real life shows up.We get into what a sustainable morning routine really is: something that reduces friction and sets your day up to run smoother. Daniel talks through a phase where he got up at 5 a.m. for months, walked, read, journalled...

Soulture#120 - Larry Doyle - The Man Who Showed Me How To Be A ManWhat happens when you sit down with the man who taught you how to be a man? In this special episode of Soulture, I sit down with my father, Larry Doyle, for a conversation about faith, family, discipline, purpose, legacy, and what it means to live a meaningful life. From lessons passed down through generations to reflections on fatherhood, mortality, health, work, and personal growth, Larry shares the principles that have guided him for more than six decades. This isn't just a conversation between a father and son. It's a conversation about the values we inherit, the lives we...
2026-06-2158 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#89 - Should Your Coach Actually Be In Shape?You can tell a lot about the fitness industry by one question: should coaches be in shape? The obvious answer feels like “yes”, but once we start pulling at the thread, it turns into a full audit of trust, proof, and what you are actually buying when you hire a personal trainer or sign up to online coaching.We talk through what “in shape” even means in the real world, because fat loss, muscle gain, strength, and endurance all look different. We also get honest about the limits of visuals. A coach can look incredible and still lack fun...
2026-06-1418 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#88 - 14 Days To Sort Your Shit OutYou can want change badly and still get nowhere if you are guessing. We are done tiptoeing around that truth. If fat loss feels like a constant cycle of “I swear I am eating 2,000 calories” followed by no progress, the problem is rarely willpower. It is a missing baseline, plus the very human habit of under counting intake and over counting output.Larry and Daniel lay out a practical two week reset: track everything that matters long enough to reveal patterns. Calories, steps, training, sleep and body weight go on the sheet, and “free calories” do not exist. W...
2026-06-0819 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#87 Less Friction, Better ResultsThe hardest part of getting fitter is not always the gym session or the calorie target, it is the moment your normal routine clashes with the people you love. When you start training more, drinking less, or making different food choices, it can create unexpected friction in your relationship, your friend group, and even at work. We sit down and get honest about why that happens and how to handle it without falling into secrecy, guilt, or all-or-nothing thinking.We talk through the real-world flashpoints that derail fat loss and sustainable lifestyle change: the weekend takeaway that...
2026-06-0223 minThe Gen Pop PodcastLess Biohacks, More ResultsYou can learn every new health hack on the internet and still get nowhere if your calories and training don’t match your goal. That’s the blunt starting point for this chat between Larry and co-host Daniel, sparked by the kind of “fitness noise” we all see: people panicking about mitochondria, cortisol, insulin, or a “broken metabolism” while they have no idea what their actual energy intake looks like.We pull it back to first principles: define the outcome, then build the plan around it. Want fat loss? A sustainable calorie deficit and a setup you can adhere t...
2026-05-2524 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#85 To Hyrox Or Not to Hyrox....Hyrox is everywhere right now, and the question we keep getting is simple: “Should I do it?” Larry and Daniel take a proper look at what’s really pulling people towards Hyrox, from FOMO and fitness trends to the very real desire for community, belonging, and a shared goal you can train for with your mates. We’re clear on one thing from the start: getting more people exercising is a net positive, no matter the entry point.We also get honest about expectations. If your main goal is fat loss, building muscle, or getting stronger, Hyrox training...
2026-05-1824 minThe Gen Pop PodcastMotivation & DisiplineMotivation is a brilliant feeling and a terrible plan. Daniel and I get into why so many people stall in their fitness journey, fat loss, training, and nutrition when they keep waiting to “feel ready”, then blame themselves when the buzz fades. We look at motivation for what it is: a short-lived spike that can get you started, but cannot carry you through weeks of busy work, family stress, and real-life commitments.We share a simple fogged windscreen story that cuts through the usual online advice. Procrastination is waiting. Motivation is squinting and driving anyway. Discipline is forc...
2026-05-1122 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#83 Scale SanityThe scales can ruin a perfectly good morning, and not because you suddenly gained fat overnight. Larry Doyle and Daniel get brutally practical about what your weigh-in is actually showing: body weight, not body fat, and a messy mix of water, digestion, food volume, sodium, training inflammation, sleep, stress, and hormonal changes. If you’ve ever seen the number jump after one “good” day and felt like you’d messed it all up, this chat is built to give you back a bit of calm and control.We talk through why we prefer multiple weigh-ins per week, and how...
2026-05-0524 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#82 - The Real-World Guide To Tracking For Fat LossTracking can feel like a minefield: calories, steps, weigh-ins, sleep scores, heart rate, VO2 max, and a dozen apps all asking for your attention. Daniel and I cut through that noise and get honest about what actually helps real people make progress, especially if fat loss is the goal. We talk about the “bare minimum” metrics worth tracking, why trying to measure everything can backfire, and how to keep the process simple enough that you actually stick with it.We dig into the fundamentals: calories consumed and calories expended. Stress, sleep, and hormones matter, but they usually show...
2026-04-2719 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#81 - AlcoholA few drinks can be grand. The real question is what they quietly do to your week. We sit down to talk alcohol, calories, and the Irish social side of drinking, without the preachy tone and without pretending everyone should live like a monk. If you’re trying to lose fat, build consistency in the gym, or simply feel better day to day, alcohol can be the invisible speed bump, not just because of the drinks themselves, but because of what happens after.We break down the basics that most people miss: alcohol is calorie dense (seven ca...
2026-04-2027 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#80 - How to Maximise Your Coaching ExperienceMost people do not avoid coaching because they hate training. They avoid it because they think they will fail at it. We get that, and we have heard every version of it: “I don’t have time”, “I won’t be perfect”, “I’ll mess up the plan”, “I need more willpower”. Larry and co-host Daniel sit down to explain what being a client should actually look like when coaching is done properly: flexible, individual, and built around real life rather than an online avatar.We talk about why you are not meant to fit someone else’s mould, and why a quali...
2026-04-1331 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#79 Eating Out , Fat-Loss Friend or Foe ?Eating out can feel like the moment your calorie tracking falls apart: no labels, bigger portions, hidden oils, and that split-second “sure I’ll just get whatever” decision. We’re not buying the idea that meals out are automatically out of your control. Larry Doyle and Daniel break down how to keep your nutrition, macros, and weight loss goals moving forward while still saying yes to dinners, coffee dates, takeaways, and spontaneous plans.We get practical fast. If you know where you’re going, we explain how checking the menu early helps you beat decision fatigue and social pre...
2026-04-0712 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#78 Training For Busy PeopleBeing “too busy” is not a character flaw, it is a planning problem. Daniel and I get blunt about why so many training plans fail real people with real lives: the coaches who say they train busy people often have no clue what a genuinely packed week looks like. So we break it down into something that actually works when you have kids to collect, deadlines to hit, commutes to survive, and maybe 30 to 45 minutes to yourself. We talk through time-boxed workouts, smart supersets, and how to organise training around movement patterns so you can walk into a busy...
2026-03-3020 minThe Gen Pop Podcast90 Days To SummerSummer is 90 days away and the “I’ll start when life calms down” excuse is about to get expensive. We sit down and map a practical 12-week fat loss plan for normal people with jobs, kids, social plans, stress, and a calendar that does not care about your goals. If you want to lose body fat, tighten up the love handles, and feel confident in a bikini or mankini, this is the reset that brings you back to basics without the fluff.We talk realistic weight loss rates (think 0.5% to 1% of body weight per week for most), why th...
2026-03-2540 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#76 - Low hanging fruit - Making results easier.Tired of chasing hacks that never stick? We’re pulling the camera back to show how simple, low-hanging habits quietly drive the biggest wins: steadier energy, calmer cravings, better workouts, and a brain that actually wants to go to bed. This is a practical, no-fluff tour of the small hinges that swing big doors—sleep, hydration, movement, easy nutrition, and screen-time sanity.We start with sleep as the master lever. A regular bedtime and wake time, fewer late-night screens, and a saner weekend routine reduce “social jet lag” and make Monday mornings less brutal. Even 20 to 30 extra minutes...
2026-03-0929 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#75 - The Steve Jobs Approach To Health, Fitness, And Daily RoutineWhat if getting in shape felt easier because you made fewer decisions, not more effort? We unpack a Steve Jobs-style approach to health and fitness that strips away noise and builds calm, repeatable systems. From wearing the same reliable kit to rotating five or six meals you actually enjoy, we show how defaults beat motivation, especially when life gets messy.We dig into the power of meal rotations built from a short list of staples, batch-cooked and ready to go. You’ll hear how tiny swaps—rice to potatoes, chili to lasagne—deliver variety without blowing up your r...

2026-02-2315 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#73 The Missing Link - How To Unlock HUGE ResultsEver feel like you’re “doing everything right” yet the scale won’t budge? Larry and Daniel pull apart the quiet habits that erase progress—patchy tracking, shaky measurements, and blind trust in barcode scans—and show how small leaks become big plateaus. We share real client stories, like the tea drinker unknowingly sipping hundreds of calories in milk and the “protein-packed” lasagna inflated by a bogus database entry. The lesson is simple and powerful: awareness before willpower.Across the conversation, we map out a practical path to accuracy without obsession. Start with seven honest days, including weekends, and lo...
2026-02-1526 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#72 The one about supplements.Tired of buying bottles that promise the world and deliver little more than expensive urine? We went straight to the point: how to choose supplements that actually work, when to take them, and when to keep your wallet shut. No codes, no hype—just a clear path through the supplement maze.We start by reframing why supplements exist: to fill real gaps, not to replace sleep, training, or decent food. From there, we build a small, proven stack that suits most people—quality multivitamins, omega-3, vitamin D3, magnesium glycinate, and creatine monohydrate—explaining the evidence, the forms that a...
2025-12-1430 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#71 The one about Caffeine - Use or Abuse ?Ever wonder why the 2pm slump hits even on “good” sleep? We pull apart the caffeine loop—from the adenosine blockade that masks true fatigue to the half-life math that keeps stray milligrams humming along when you’re trying to drift off. Larry and Daniel get honest about intake, tolerance, a hospital scare that prompted a rethink, and the simple shifts that return your edge without taxing your nervous system.We break down smart protocols: how to time caffeine 30 to 90 minutes before training so the peak lands when you need it, why evening lifters should consider non-stim pre-work...
2025-12-0730 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#70 - The One All About RecoveryWe unpack how to judge recovery without letting devices run your training, and why trends across sleep, stress, and workload beat any single score.

2025-11-3029 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#69 - From All-In Bodybuilding To Balanced LivingWhat happens when the gym becomes your identity—and what does it take to let that go without losing yourself? Larry and Daniel pull back the curtain on years of training, dieting, bodybuilding prep, and the quiet costs that come with living by macros and PBs. From sneaking into a first weight set to competing at a high level, from running a gym 80 hours a week to saying no to a family dinner for the sake of “being on plan,” we trace the moments that forced a rethink and the choices that rebuilt a healthier, more human approach.Yo...
2025-11-2329 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#68 - Spotting Good Information & Bullshit DetectionWe pull apart health and fitness claims, from testosterone boosters to greens powders, and show how incentives, language, and hidden fine print shape what you’re sold.

2025-11-1627 minThe Gen Pop Podcast#67 - Build Your Best DietDiets don’t fail because you chose the wrong superfood. They fail because the plan doesn’t fit your life. We unpack a simple framework to build a results-focused diet that you can actually follow: anchor your day with enough protein, load up on fruit, veg and fibre, and then flex carbs and fats to match your taste, training and schedule. No moralising food, no pass or fail macros—just a system that reduces friction and boosts adherence.We start by defining the problem you want to solve—fat loss, steadier energy, better performance—and reverse-engineer calories to suit it...
