The Chloe Condition: How She Built her Fitness Empire from Zero
Chloe is from Myanmar. In 2013 she graduated, got a corporate job, and felt completely unfulfilled despite doing everything right. She found fitness that year, started sharing free health and wellness content online for women like her, and people began asking her to coach them. She never intended to build a business. Then COVID hit, and 3,000 to 4,000 people signed up to her first fitness challenge overnight. She called her mum the next morning not knowing what had just happened. The community she has built since — tens of thousands of women, going seven years strong — is what she calls her greatest achievement. This conversation covers the real timeline, the free work you have to do before anyone pays you, why feeling unfulfilled despite a good job is not a you problem, and what it actually looks like to build something people never want to leave. Topics covered: Why feeling empty despite having everything is a sign of misalignment, not failure Was fitness the missing thing or the thing that started everything else The shadow self and why you expand into new versions rather than kill off old ones Are entrepreneurs born or made What Ryan and Chloe were like as students The 10-year rule Instagram never shows you What actually surprises you when you start coaching real people Why women end up doing everything for others and nothing for themselves What COVID did to two years of quiet building Building the community you once needed and never had Why she gave everything away for free first What men don't understand about women Managing multiple businesses at once What she was naive about when she started hiring Zero fear of failure and why regret scares her more 00:00 Introduction 00:43 What actually broke in 2013 04:00 Was fitness the missing thing or just the start 04:59 Were you depressed or just out of alignment 05:46 How do you explain that feeling to someone who doesn't have the words for it 07:54 What part of old Chloe still shows up 09:36 The shadow self and not killing off who you were 10:59 How fitness coaching became a career 12:33 Entrepreneurial DNA: selling stickers in Myanmar at grade five 14:08 Are entrepreneurs born or made 14:53 What were you like at school 17:22 High tolerance for uncertainty and Ryan's bankruptcy story 20:09 Instagram is lying about what entrepreneurship looks like 22:11 Why it actually takes ten years 25:03 What surprised you most about working with real clients 27:17 Why the mindset work is where transformation actually happens 29:12 What coaching thousands of Asian women revealed 31:40 People pleasing, resentment, and looking after others before yourself 33:01 Finding out at 22 or 23 it's okay to say no 34:35 How one hour of fitness gave Chloe ownership of her own life 37:23 What started to break as the business scaled 38:17 COVID and the morning thousands of people signed up overnight 40:36 Why it was never overnight: two years of building came first 41:38 When does life actually start to crack as you scale 44:06 Is the community your greatest achievement 46:07 Are you building the community you once needed for yourself 47:47 Did you start with free or low ticket 50:28 What men don't understand about women 53:14 The pressure on modern men 58:09 When clients come for fitness and stay for everything else 01:01:42 Would you ever work with men 01:03:19 Why expand into activewear in a saturated market 01:05:47 How do you manage multiple businesses at once 01:07:41 What is the highest leverage use of your time 01:11:11 What were you naive about when you first started hiring 01:15:28 Why competition doesn't scare her 01:18:49 Zero fear of failure 01:19:08 What are you building in the next ten years 01:23:56 What does success look like with no money, status, or approval Follow Chloe IG: @dr_ryangleesonTikTok: @dr.ryangleeson

Uma Thana B: Every High-Performing Man I Know Has Daddy Issues
Virtually every high-performing man I've ever worked with has the same thing running underneath. Conditional love. A dad who was present but never said enough. A childhood where love came through achievement, sport, good grades, being useful. Most founders never connect the dots between that wiring and the way they're running their business today. This conversation does. Uma spent 20 years in corporate, became one of the youngest VPs on a senior leadership team in Singapore, and then walked away from all of it to figure out who she actually was. What she found in that process is something most high-performers spend their entire career avoiding. We talk about where the drive really comes from, what it costs when you never deal with it, and why the body tends to carry everything the mind refuses to face. Topics covered: Conditional love and the performance patterns it creates Dark fuel vs light fuel and why shame-based motivation has a ceiling Why virtually every high-performing man has unresolved father stuff How your body stores what your mind won't process Why your HIIT sessions and ice baths might be making burnout worse What allostatic load is and how high performers get it completely wrong The self-awareness trap most intelligent people fall into What tall poppy syndrome is actually revealing about the person reacting The body-first approach to getting your nervous system out of survival mode Body, mind, heart, spirit and why the order of those matters Follow Uma: @uma__raw IG: @dr_ryangleesonTikTok: @dr.ryangleeson

In this deep-dive conversation, George Lewer shares how he turned a $50K crypto trade into $1.3M overnight—while working a 9-to-5 job. But this isn’t a crypto flex.

We cover: The seductive chaos of fast crypto money What trading reveals about your nervous system, ego, and shadow Biohacking for clarity, calm, and longevity Fatherhood, identity shifts, and raising kids in a broken system Why digging one deep well beats chasing 10 shiny objects Quantum physics, holographic reality, and the mirror of your results Trading dopamine for discipline—and wealth for fulfilment This is a conversation for men who’ve hit the external wins… and are still asking, “Now what?” Follow George: @georgemlewer IG: @dr_ryangleesonTikTok: @dr.ryangleeson
