The Inner EntrepreneurBitesize: Why You’re Born Superhuman (You Just Forgot) - Dan Metcalfe #170Bitesize: Why You’re Born Superhuman (You Just Forgot) -  Dan Metcalfe In this powerful bite-size conversation, Dan Metcalfe shares a journey that sounds like fiction—but isn’t. From being scouted by Crystal Palace and trained under Brian Clough, to dancing in the West End in Andrew Lloyd Webber productions, to fracturing his spine on stage in Las Vegas and being told he may never recover—Dan’s story is about identity, resilience, and choice. Paralyzed, facing a system that would have preferred to manage him rather than restore him, Dan made a decision: he would no...

The Inner EntrepreneurThe Inner Mentor Series: Listen to This Before You Hit Burnout #169In this episode of The Inner Mentor Series, Paul explores a powerful but uncomfortable question: how are you measuring success — and is that measurement quietly shaping your life? Through two contrasting entrepreneur stories and his own wake-up moment, he challenges the default scoreboard of money, scale, and status, and invites you to consider a broader definition that includes peace of mind, alignment, health, relationships, and fulfillment. Because you can be winning externally while losing internally — and the scoreboard you choose will ultimately determine the life you live About the Host Paul Ryan is a CEO, 8-figure busi...

The Inner EntrepreneurLife in a U.S. Maximum-Security Prison - Stacey Putka #168In this episode, Paul sits down with Stacey Putka — and the conversation begins with a line most podcast intros never get to use: they met in prison. Paul shares what it was like entering Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility: handing over his phone and passport, being reduced to a badge number, and feeling that subtle loss of control that incarcerated people live with every day. Together, they unpack the emotional impact of walking into a room full of men serving serious sentences and discovering something unexpectedly human — real presence, eye contact, openness, and a level of vulnerability that challenged every ster...

The Inner EntrepreneurBitesize: The Power of Slow: Why Doing Less Changes Everything | Carl Honoré #167In this bite-sized  episode, Paul sits down with Carl Honoré, the voice behind the global Slow Movement, to challenge one of modern life’s most damaging assumptions: that faster is always better. Carl reframes “slow” not as laziness or withdrawal from ambition, but as the discipline of finding the right speed for the task at hand. Drawing on neuroscience, culture, and everyday experience, he explains why multitasking is a productivity myth, how monotasking actually leads to better results, and why slowing down improves focus, creativity, relationships, and wellbeing — often while helping us get more done, not less. The conver...

The Inner EntrepreneurThe Inner Mentor Series: The Day I Met the Man I Never Want to Become #166In this first Inner Mentor Series episode, Paul shares the pivotal experience that quietly reshaped the course of his life. Twenty years ago, despite outward success, he felt trapped in a business and life that drained him—until a last-minute decision to attend a weekend event in London changed everything. What began with skepticism and a firewalk evolved into a far deeper reckoning: a visceral confrontation with the future version of himself he was becoming, one of quiet misery, the other of purpose and fulfillment—Paul made a choice that would demand far more courage than he expected.

The Inner EntrepreneurWhat It Really Takes to Change Company Culture - Kyle McDowell #165What It Really Takes to Change Company Culture - Kyle McDowell #165 In this episode, Paul sits down with leadership author and culture-change advocate Kyle McDowell to unpack a hard truth: many “successful” corporate environments are quietly toxic—and leaders often help create the very dysfunction they later complain about. Kyle shares how, after decades in senior Fortune-level roles leading tens of thousands of people, he hit a point of apathy, burnout, and personal cost that forced a reckoning. The turning point wasn’t a new strategy—it was a new way of leading: human connection, real accountability, and the co...

Drawing on nearly 35 years of experience working with business leaders around the world, Jack explains how thoughts either reinforce limiting beliefs or help us grow, adapt, and find solutions under pressure. He challenges the idea that success comes from passive visualisation, arguing instead for disciplined thinking, awareness, and practical mental tools grounded in science.

The Inner EntrepreneurThe Confidence Lie Most People Believe - Fred Joyal #163In this episode, Paul sits down with entrepreneur and author Fred Joyal to challenge one of the biggest myths about confidence: that you need it before you act. Drawing on his journey from painful introversion to building and leading a nationwide business for nearly three decades, Fred explains why boldness isn’t a personality trait — it’s a learnable skill built through action, discomfort, and repetition. The conversation explores why so many people hesitate to speak up, put themselves forward, or fully express who they are — and how that hesitation quietly limits careers, relationships, and fulfilment. From the conf...

He describes the heady years of rapid success in the late ’90s, when everything seemed to turn to gold, followed by the brutal reality of market crashes, 9/11, and a perfect storm that wiped out half the business almost overnight. What followed was receivership, courtrooms, internal conflict, and the kind of personal pressure that strips away ego fast. Brian speaks candidly about how success can distort judgment, how humility often arrives the hard way, and why building weal...

Drawing on nearly 30 years of clinical experience, Colman explains why anxiety has dominated the last decade, and why loneliness is now emerging as a serious and growing issue. They unpack how technology, the loss of unstructured play, and the erosion of community have left many young people without the foundational social skills previous generations absorbed naturally through everyday connection.

Danny explains why video triggers a different psychological response than live conversation, how comparison and fear of judgement distort self-expression, and why people often believe they have “nothing valuable to say” despite years of experience and results.

Joey challenges the idea that emotions like anger, anxiety, grief, or sadness are problems to be fixed. Instead, he explains that emotions are natural and necessary—but our reactions to them are learned, conditioned, and trainable.

Derek Coburn argues that the traditional idea of retirement—grinding for decades and then stopping abruptly at a fixed age—is not only outdated, but often damaging. Many people sacrifice time with family, health, and meaning in pursuit of a future that may never deliver the fulfillment they expect.

Drawing on decades of experience working with organisations around the world, Alan explains why expertise can sometimes trap leaders inside old assumptions—and why real breakthroughs often come from not knowing.

Rather than treating values as something to be intellectually defined or chosen from a list, he explains that your values are already visible — they’re revealed by what your life consistently demonstrates. Where you spend your time, energy, and focus shows what truly matters to you, regardless of what you believe should matter. Many people feel unfulfilled because they judge their lives against societal expectations instead of honestly observing their own habits, behaviours, and energy patterns.

Drawing on decades of experience across more than 70 businesses — including losing everything and starting again — Damion reframes failure as the tuition fee for wisdom. He explains why most businesses don’t survive, not because of bad ideas, but because of a lack of real commitment. There is no “trying” in entrepreneurship — only deciding, persevering, and learning fast.

Far from being a time-management issue or a character flaw, procrastination is revealed as a behavior rooted in emotional regulation. Professor Sirois explains how delaying tasks may offer temporary relief, yet creates long-term stress, undermines confidence, and quietly damages both our health and performance. Together they examine how avoidance reshapes our nervous system, drives anxiety, and increases the mental load we carry each day.
