In Episode 21 The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with Tom Kiddle - husband, dad, entrepreneur, and seasoned financial services leader - to dive into what happens when the hard-charging mindset that drives early career success starts to sabotage your life.

Tom had built a stellar career through grit, relentless hustle, and a "work hard, play harder" mentality. But beneath his outward success, he was stuck in a cycle of exhaustion, excessive drinking, unhealthy eating, and ultimately, self-sabotage. He found himself overweight, battling health issues, snapping at his family, and barely coping with relentless stress.

Tom candidly shares his transformative journey over four years - from quitting alcohol overnight and reclaiming his health, to deeply shifting his mindset and embracing disciplined habits that empower every aspect of his life. From successful exits to launching his own business, Tom's story is proof of how powerful it can be to challenge old habits, remove ego, and embrace discipline and stoicism as guiding principles.

If you're feeling trapped by habits that once served you but now hold you back - this episode offers practical insights into reclaiming control and thriving again.

You are the problem - but you’re also the solution. It's time to face yourself and take action.
