I’ve really enjoyed being interviewed on podcasts, and this one with Richard Thompson was no exception.
As well as being an entrepreneur, lawyer, and father of 4 boys, he’s also a 2 x ultra triathlon champion, so we covered quite a bit of territory in this interview.
Below is what Richard wrote about the episode. I hope you enjoy it.
With love,
Toby

Forget goals, THIS practice will change your life >>
It’s not about pushing harder.
It’s not about perfect reps.
It’s about psychological flexibility – the courage to sit with discomfort, let go of control, and still do what matters.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why goals alone aren’t enough – and why practice-setting might matter more
- The three pillars of psychological flexibility: open up, be present, do what matters
- What elite sport taught Toby about stress – and what life taught him when sport ended
- How to hold onto values when everything else feels out of control
This isn’t just a conversation about mindset.
It’s a reminder that being human is messy – and that sometimes, our strength lives in the surrender.
Toby, thank you. For your depth, your clarity – and your beautiful reminder that some of life’s hardest chapters can become our most valuable work.
