Welcome back to The Frequency Podcast - where performance meets presence, and business becomes a spiritual practice. In today’s episode, Nick is joined by Gareth Were, father, founder of Pie Me Cafe Endenich , and a man who’s walked the path from burnout to embodied leadership.

Together, they explore the invisible weight many men carry -the need to prove, the trap of doing, and the often-unseen cost of success. Gareth shares how heartbreak cracked him open, how burnout became a portal to presence, and how self-awareness has become the compass guiding his leadership.

This conversation is a permission slip to feel deeply, lead consciously, and remember that your greatest power doesn’t come from performance—it comes from truth.

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Burnout is an initiation - When the body breaks down, the soul often breaks through. Gareth reframes burnout as a sacred turning point.
2. Your leadership is only as strong as your self-awareness - The more Gareth leaned into inner work, the more clarity he found in how he leads people, business, and self.
3. Doing “the work” means feeling what you’ve been avoiding - From breathwork to boundaries, somatic practices to stillness, Gareth maps the layers of healing men must walk to reclaim peace and presence.
