‘First Things THRST’ is a weekly masterclass that explores the secrets and experiences of entrepreneurs and content creators from across the globe. Each episode is unfiltered and guided by the premise of leaving no stone unturned, which is accountable for the deep discussions into the backgrounds, hardships and confessions of my guests. My goal is simple, to share insights and fresh perspectives on topics like entrepreneurship, success and fitness. Join me on this exciting adventure, and I'm hoping you gain as much from these discussions as I do.

Richard M Dolan started researching UFOs to answer one simple question for his PhD work, and thirty years later, he still can't look away from what the declassified documents are telling him.

Dan Martell is using AI to replace what used to require entire departments, but most founders are implementing it completely wrong.

Dr Gabrielle Lyon has spent her career studying muscle as the organ of longevity, and her research reveals why most people are approaching health optimisation backwards by focusing on fat loss instead of muscle gain.

While doctors focus on treating disease, her approach is about building muscle as the foundation for living longer and better. The results show massive improvements that traditional medicine completely misses. Now she's created National Muscle Health Month to spread the word about why building and keeping muscle matters so much.

04:15 Why muscle should be central to the health conversation
08:25 Cardio versus weights and why both matter
11:51 Muscle mass and erections linking fitness to performance

21:22 Dr Lyon's weekly training schedule and barf sessions
24:44 Maintenance versus gaining and smart training while travelling
28:59 Why beginners should start with machines over free weights
32:58 Men vs women in training and where the differences lie
36:08 Core strength, injury prevention, and the foundational five
41:10 National Muscle Health Month and starting a movement
46:40 Forget weight loss goals, focus on preserving lean mass
48:20 Muscle activates mindset shifts and builds mental strength
50:45 Building standards, not goals for lasting consistency
54:45 Growth through friction, pressure, and controlled adversity
56:52 Too much pressure and the cost of overpushing
01:00:25 Cold plunges, cortisol, and creating capacity for stress
01:05:35 This decade’s hopeful shift toward personal responsibility
01:10:10 Anchoring your mindset to stay strong into your 50s

In this episode, the British supermodel David Gandy joins the show. The man who defined an era of male modelling reveals why he walked away from guaranteed money to build something bigger. After watching female models launch empires while male models remained stuck as "clothes hangers," he made a calculated bet: turn down the certain payday, take back ownership of his image, and build a business that would outlast his modelling career.

Now, at the top of his game, he runs his own brand "Wellwear" which has seen enormous success over the last few years, and it's only on the rise. David dives into his take on why AI will devastate the modelling industry and the coffee brand strategy that's generating more long-term value than any campaign ever could.

Cory Richards, National Geographic photographer and professional climber for 25 years, walked away from both careers at 40 after his nervous system broke from constantly visualising his own death on mountains. After realising his value had become tied to proximity to mortality, he faced a truth: the "fuck you, watch me" energy driving his achievements stemmed from believing something was fundamentally wrong with him since his bipolar diagnosis at 14.

You'll hear his single-word framework for defining purpose, why he believes all love is self-sourced rather than received from others, and why mental health diagnoses describe behaviour patterns rather than fundamental deficits.

10:20 Reducing news and social media to protect happiness

20:19 Learning to manage depressive waves with self-compassion
23:20 Social isolation vs pushing yourself into connections
27:15 Confronting mortality while climbing Everest
30:53 Consciousness, nature, and the idea of energy
34:20 Psychedelics as a hard reset and mental health tool
41:02 Finding purpose and fulfilment through service
49:24 Why compassion, not performance, is Cory’s core value
54:05 Money as freedom units, not status signifiers
55:32 Replacing risky climbs with entrepreneurial adventure
58:49 Navigating authority, expectations and independence
01:00:42 Generational tension between safety and freedom
01:04:09 Online role models, influence, and bad advice

01:28:41 Cory’s career with NatGeo and letting it all go
01:33:02 Capturing moments vs being trapped in the shot
01:35:48 Tech, suicide rates, and the illusion of connection
