Uncharted Performance

I lead driven individuals to find direction, create strategies and accelerate toward the greatest ve I help driven individuals to fulfil their true potential.

To create a robust, strong and durable body. To forge a tough, resilient and flexible mindset. And to effectively lead and communicate with those around them, and those who would depend on them. If you’re reading this.. The chances are that you feel like you’re currently living to 10% of your true potential...

If you have no interest in expanding on that, living life on your terms, challenging yourself and breaching the door of your true capability, then stop reading here. This is not for you. But if you're the person who knows they can achieve more.. Who has worked hard, professionally. Who has shown, in a former life, you have the fortitude and capability to be a physical specimen.. But has, for some reason, fallen in to bad habits, negative self talk and a state of low-self confidence? Then this is for you. We can lead you to not only re-gain your former glory, but surpass it. Send me a DM to find out more.

You need to diversify your portfolio.

A high risk investment portfolio, as many of you will know…

Will only spread it’s funds across a handful of holdings.

Whilst it can be high reward…

If any one of these holdings performs badly…

The portfolio itself is at jeopardy & losses can feel catastrophic.

Under performance threatens the whole future.

Yet this is how most of you lead your lives.

Your whole worth is invested into just one or two holdings.

Usually, work.

What you do for a living becomes the thing you build your entire identity around.

You are not a diversified person. This is high risk.

A bad week at work is all it takes to tank your stocks in yourself.

You drawn down on all other investments…

Your training becomes ‘random bouts of exercise’, if any.

Your diet resembles that of a hungover student.

Irritable with your children, absent from your wife.

When was the last time you engaged in any real hobbies…

If you can even remember what you used to like to do for fun.

The opposite is the manner in which we build emotional resilience.

Diversifying one’s portfolio by reconnecting with the other domains in life.

It is never about ‘doing more’.

It’s always about doing less, more intentionally.

Ambition is like fire.

It can heat your home and cook your food, if you’re in control.

Fail to control it?

It’ll burn your fu***ng house down.

It’s time to get back in control.

If you want to go on an adventure…

If you find your days rolling into one dreary marathon of tasks.

If your energy is lower and you’re not excited by any new challenges.

Then you need to begin doing one simple thing.

Start telling the truth.

Not to me…

To yourself.

In answer to questions like

“Why am I always the bottom of my own list?”

“Am I really doing the best I can, with what I have?”

“Why do I feel anxious for taking time off?”

“What am I avoiding by burying my head in work all the time?”

“Why do I feel guilty for prioritising myself?”

“What do I believe to be true about myself when I’m not working?”

The ‘old guard’ will have you believe performance and success is all about ‘work’.

That you can, and should, ‘always do more’.

That you must be ‘on’ at all times.

Computational sentences that sound like a badly written corporate mission statement…

Based on ‘teachings’ they themselves never had the courage to question.

And traumas they never had the emotional security to challenge.

If you want to lead their life, crack on.

If you don’t want the life they have, you need not listen to it.

Flow science, psychology and performance has come a long way.

You need only start telling yourself the truth.

It requires far more courage, conviction and character...

But, what choice do you have?

It can end with you.

“The bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle.”

You can apply this on the micro or the macro.

Applied in the micro…

The limiting factor is almost always the mind.

It’s not outside of you. It’s not someone else’s fault. It’s not “time”.

It’s how you’re seeing and interacting with it.

It’s your self talk and accuracy of thinking.

It’s the limitations, doubts and insecurity you’re holding onto.

It’s the speed at which you make decisions.

Clean and simple.

On the macro?

It’s not your team.

It’s not the market.

It’s how you’re allowing all of the micro…

To turn up in the rest of your life.

“They’re going to find out I don’t know what I’m doing”.

“Everyone’s so much more qualified to be here than me”.

“They’re just being polite, they don’t really believe that”.

That list goes on.

Your growth cannot, until you control them.

We create a no limits mindset informed by no limits language.

25/10/2025

It seems mental to me…

That we willingly accept the unspoken expectation of exhausting ourselves from Monday to Friday, all in the interest of reputation management…

But don’t protect the time, or preserve the energy, to look up.

We can probably bet on the sun still rising when you retire.

But betting on still having the energy and wellness to savour it when that time comes isn’t something I’d want to roll the dice on.

Most people think burnout is caused by working too much.

It isn’t.

It’s caused by working without rest.

By grinding without play.

By ignoring the part of you that craves recovery.

You can love your work.

You can love training.

You can love the chase of performance.

And still crash.

Because ambition without balance becomes poison.

Your inner wisdom always knows what you need.

But most of the time, you ignore it.

Another coffee.

Another hour.

Another scroll through Instagram to avoid the feeling.

Burnout is not about hours worked.

It’s about resentment built.

Resentment towards yourself, for never giving permission to step away.

The irony?

Rest makes you sharper.

Play makes you better.

White space makes you stronger.

So if you care about performance…

Start by caring about recovery.

Success of any kind is built in the boring.

In 2017 I followed the same training program for 23 weeks prior to a bodybuilding show.

For the Jungle and Ice Ultra…

I accumulated an estimated 4,000 metres of sled pushes.

In building the business I now have…

I’ve posted almost entirely the same sentiment over 2,000 times on Instagram alone.

I defy you to find any post, content or media from me that glamourises sensationalist nonsense…

In 12 years.

Remember that guy who stayed permanently fit & jacked from following an 8 week program?

Remember your friend who got super rich day trading, buying crypto and doing his job at the same time?

Or your friend who used ONE simple trick of the Navy SEALS to become an unstoppable force of consistency?

Neither do I.

You’re being distracted by ‘mindset hacks of the special forces’, get ripped quick mentors and fitness trends.

Fundamentals > Fads.

Consistency > Intensity.

Built in the boring > Baffled by bu****it.

Your greatest priority is trusting the process and doing the work.

Most men have lost it…

Real, meaningful and genuine connection.

A wise mentor of mine once told me…

“It’s never what’s delivered in the presentations that’s the most valuable part…

It’s the conversations you have with new peers, afterwards”.

I happen to agree.

I also believe this takes on a whole new level of meaning in the great outdoors.

When you work hard alongside one another - a common vision is born.

When you experience the summit together - a level of trust is built.

Both of these permit a level of vulnerability and depth of communication not found elsewhere.

My inspiration for Uncharted was the irreplaceable lessons learned and bonds made…

In some of the harshest, most unforgiving and pressurised environments across the globe.

Our mission is to extend that opportunity to the men we work with.

No nonsense. No bluff and bluster. Just brotherhood.

In the mountains, we meet ourselves…

But we also meet each other.

The problem wasn’t that I wanted to be successful…

The problem was that I wanted to be more successful than other people in my field.

You can gasp and recoil in judgement at that statement, if you like.

Or you can accept that it’s highly likely you’ve been driven by the same force at some point, too.

For me…

I would log on to social media and see a coach discussing a topic.

A topic which I felt I was far more qualified to be discussing and educating on…

I would unconsciously perceive that as a threat [I’m very competitive]…

And then go on a mission to ensure people had the RIGHT information -

Not “whatever drivel that fu***ng moron happened to s**t out their mouth”.

All that happens, when you do that…

Is you take yourself away from the present moment.

You’re driven by agitation, instead of what you actually want.

And it will never, ever be over.

It wasn’t until about 2 or 3 years ago that I learned to self define.

That I begun to have chats with my own mental performance coach about values.

By definition, the only way create peace of mind is to live in accordance with ones values.

Every time I was triggered by thinking “that should be me, not them!”…

Every time I felt insecure that others were doing better than me…

Or were further ahead than I was…

I was forgetting my own values.

I was entering into a zero-sum game and feeling deeply unfulfilled as a result.

The antidote was studying my values.

It didn’t mean I was no longer ambitious.

Quite the opposite. Things have grown exponentially since doing it.

My nervous system is vastly more regulated.

My temperament is far calmer, more engaged and present.

Because I’m motivated by a more sustainable, intrinsic and purposeful drive.

If you keep wanting more, better, faster and bigger…

Look in - before pointing out.

What would you say to this…? 💭

16/10/2025

How many times have you chased something…

Only to realise you didn’t actually want it?

You swore you wanted the promotion.

But when you got it, you hated the life that came with it.

You thought you wanted to look a certain way.

But when you trained for it, the cost wasn’t worth it.

We’re subtly, slowly, subconsciously influenced into wanting things that aren’t ours.

You don’t notice it happening.

That’s the scary part.

Every scroll is a quiet whisper:

“Want this. Do that. Become like me.”

Eventually it starts sounding like your own voice.

But here’s the truth:
If you don’t want to do what’s required to get it…

You don’t actually want it.

So stop and ask yourself:

What do I actually want?

Not what looks good online.

Not what gets applause.

Not what earns validation.

What do you want,

When no one’s watching?

I was stunned with how well this reduces overwhelm.

I’ve had to battle overthinking on many occasions.

I think it’s the price of ambition and having a level of EQ.

It’s easy to believe you’re problem solving, or being self reflective…

But there's a clear line where it becomes dwelling, second guessing and worrying.

That, not how much I was working, was the root cause of feeling chronic stress.

Until I heard the phrase:
“Focus on what you’re doing, not how well you’re doing”.

And then it really did click into place for me.

For example:

Focusing on run pace -> focus on how your feet strike.

Concerned about optics at work -> focus on the quality of your work.

Worrying if you said the wrong thing -> Non controllable. You’ve said it, move on.

The goal is not to ‘not think’.

It’s to ask “is there a way my thinking could be more constructive?”

If there is - great, bring it to what you’re doing.
If there isn’t?

You’re overthinking.

Move from “what if?”

To “What is” - and focus on what you’re objectively doing.

When you’re feeling hot under the collar in a meeting…

Worrying that you didn't say what you ‘should have’ said.

You don’t need, nor will you remember some “special forces mindset tactic”…

If there is such a thing outside of YouTube thumbnails.

You simply need a heuristic you can remember and that works quickly…

And compounds over time.

Simple scales, fancy fails.

There’s only so much you can take ownership of.

You want to be at the top of your game at work.

You want to be the most present and engaged father you can be.

You want to be emotionally available for your wife.

You want to program with the knowledge of a professional coach…

And train with the volume & intensity of a professional athlete.

You want to know you’re eating the right thing, at the right time…

For health, performance and recovery.

Thinking like a nutritionist, eating like a bodybuilder…

Yet living with the stress and constraints of a real life.

And you want to do this with a brain that is adamant it doesn’t need help…?

Rugby coaches.

Strength coaches.

Running coaches.

Nutrition coaches. Business coaches. Communication coaches. Mental performance coaches.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, investing in yourself is a very real way to show yourself “you are a valuable asset”.

It also shortens the feedback loop.

With no one to give feedback or hold you accountable, a single iteration could be 2-10 years.

That's why you repeat the same cycle multiple times per year.

With skilled coaching - the feedback and iteration cycle is 7 days.

You iterate 52x faster

There’s f**k all point comparing yourself to someone who’s done work you’re not willing to do.

Equally - if you see evidence of their work and want the same for yourself…

I’m literally telling you how I’ve done it.

Don’t settle for being stuck when you can invest in speed.
