Have you ever wondered if psychedelics might hold the key to transforming not just your mind, but your life? In this episode, we’re joined by Andy Mitchell—neuroscientist, former monk, and author of 10 Trips: The New Reality of Psychedelics. Andy takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of psychedelics, sharing his unique experience of completing 10 psychedelic sessions in 10 distinct locations over 10 weeks. We dive deep into the profound insights he gained—blending ancient wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience—to explore how these substances can reshape mental pathways and unlock personal and cultural transformations. We also tackle the delicate balance between risk and reward, asking why people are drawn to experiences that challenge their confidence and comfort zones.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or powerless in the face of pressure, this episode is for you. Learn how intentional stress training can help you stay cool in the chaos and build mental toughness that serves you in business, relationships, and life’s curveballs.

Are your meditation sessions, journaling habits, or cold showers actually driving the transformation you seek? Or are you just guessing? In this episode, Tom dives deep into the challenge of quantifying personal growth in a world where it's easy to measure success in business, fitness, or finances but harder to assess who you're becoming. Drawing from his own experiences and years of coaching, Tom shares the powerful framework he uses to help clients track their growth across two vital paths: attainment and actualisation. Whether you're striving for professional goals or unlocking deeper personal potential, this episode unpacks how to align your efforts and avoid the self-sabotage and emotional roadblocks that hold so many back. You'll learn actionable strategies to measure your progress, refine your goals, and keep moving forward—on both paths. Blog Link: https://www.tomfoxley.me/post/quantify

In this episode, we dive deep into an incredible story of instinct, intuition, and the underestimated power of emotions. Emotions hold a hidden intelligence that, when recognised, can guide us toward personal growth, resilience, and fulfilment. Too often, we’re taught to dismiss our emotional reactions as unreliable. Yet, as you’ll hear in today’s episode, shutting them out can leave us disconnected from life’s true richness. Tom shares a personal journey of turning away from emotions, embracing reason as a safeguard, only to discover the profound cost of ignoring that deeper layer of experience. It was only by welcoming emotions back in that life’s depth and true personal growth came into focus. Learn how to move beyond simply managing emotions to truly mastering them as powerful guides. Embrace the wisdom of your emotional mind, and discover what you’ve been missing.

In this episode, we break down why shifting your focus from mental health to mental fitness can transform your life. While mental health aims to keep you free from illness, mental fitness equips you to meet life’s challenges head-on, helping you not just survive, but thrive. We dive deep into the pitfalls of our culture’s obsession with mental health and how it unintentionally holds high-achievers back. By aiming solely for mental health, we risk capping our potential. Instead, building mental fitness opens up your capacity to take on stress, fear, and obstacles without being overwhelmed. It’s about training resilience, cultivating clarity, and developing your character to become the best version of yourself. Learn how training your mental fitness shifts your perspective from seeing challenges as threats to seeing them as opportunities for growth. With the right mindset and practice, you can boost your ability to achieve success in business, personal development, and relationships, all while building a protective buffer against life’s inevitable hardships.

In the blistering heat of Western Australia, a small group of weary soldiers faced an unexpected enemy. Armed with 10,000 rounds each and every ounce of determination they could muster, they were tasked with taking down an invasion force of 20,000. But their adversaries weren’t elite special forces—they were emus. Yes, emus. In this episode, we dive into the tale of the Great Emu War of 1932, an infamous campaign where Australian troops found themselves outwitted and outmaneuvered by a flock of massive, flightless birds. The operation became a public embarrassment, exposing critical flaws in strategy, communication, and clarity. Using this surreal story as a springboard, we explore how lack of clear goals, vision, and alignment can doom even the most well-equipped efforts. Just like these soldiers found themselves lost and overwhelmed, many entrepreneurs struggle to set meaningful goals and find direction in their work. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Tune in to learn how setting clear, purposeful goals can transform your business and life, saving you from your own version of the “Great Emu War.” And don’t miss the chance to read more on this at TomFoxley.me/blog, where you’ll find practical tips to align your goals, avoid wasted effort, and create the success you’re looking for. ---- Blog link: https://www.tomfoxley.me/post/nested-goals

If you’re feeling lost in your business or questioning why you’re still pushing through, this episode is for you. We’ll dive deep into finding clarity, silencing that distracting mental chatter, and aligning your goals with what you truly want from life—not just in business, but in every aspect.

In this episode, I’ll help you break free from that cycle by exploring the four key "freedom currencies" that every entrepreneur should aim for—financial, geographical, time, and personal freedom. These currencies are the pillars of living a life by your design, not one dictated by the mainstream. We’ll ask the tough questions: How free do you feel right now, truly? Are you living the life you want, or just spinning plates, chained to your business? You’ll discover how to re-engineer your life, reverse the grind, and design a future where freedom is the norm, not the exception. If you’re ready to escape the noise, clarify your path, and unlock the personal freedom that empowers everything else, this episode is your roadmap.

I explore a different kind of success story—one that feels more attainable, yet just as inspiring. Meet Laura Roeder, a self-made millionaire who built a $10 million net worth working part-time hours. No silver spoon, no superhuman intellect—just a killer mindset and a clear vision.

Her story is a powerful reminder that freedom isn’t just for the Elon Musks of the world; it’s within reach for you, too. I’ll share the five key mindset shifts that helped Laura achieve her remarkable success, and how you can apply them to your own life to create the freedom you crave.

In this episode, Tom Foxley shares a deeply personal journey into mastering the mindset of success, especially for those of us who’ve struggled with hitting glass ceilings, plateauing, or feeling stuck despite trying everything. Tom reveals the missing link in most personal growth efforts and explains why some strategies—whether meditation, therapy, or mindset work—only take some people so far. He dives into the three critical zones of change that every business owner, athlete, or high-performer must understand to unlock their full potential: the nervous system, the stories we tell ourselves, and the philosophies we live by. Tom challenges the traditional approach to personal development, showing why mindset work alone isn't enough if the body isn't regulated first, and how these levels must be addressed in the right order to create lasting transformation. Tune in to discover why personal growth can feel so elusive and what truly makes success inevitable.

In this episode, I share the story of James, a business owner trapped in the endless grind, constantly working but seeing little progress. Like many entrepreneurs, he was stuck in a cycle of stress, hustling from dawn till dusk, and still feeling like he was falling short—at the expense of his happiness, his marriage, and ultimately his business. His fear of running out of time, money, and opportunities drove him into overdrive, yet the harder he worked, the less he achieved. If you're a business owner struggling to switch off, this episode is for you. I’ll show you how James' mental state wasn't just a side effect of his lack of success—it was the *cause* of it. You’ll learn why the hustle-and-grind mentality can actually limit your productivity and creativity, and how working less can unlock more success.

In this episode of The Freedom Project, I share the story of a pivotal moment with a mentor who told me, “It’s not the best who win, it’s the best known.” On the surface, his philosophy made sense – generate money, work less – but something about it didn’t sit right with me. This realisation led me to abandon the empire-building mindset and focus on what truly matters: the craft. Tune in to hear how this shift brought more clarity, deeper work, and ultimately, more freedom.

Welcome back to the freedom project podcast. Thanks for putting up with the two week absence of podcasts. Things have been a little crazy since I got back from Pakistan. Fair to say, life is full steam ahead. My wife is 17 weeks pregnant, we’re due to move into our first house purchase in 6 days’ time, and during all of that, I went to an uncontactable region of the world & experienced the most incredible times. I said in a podcast a few months back, that at some point, you have to just say “fuck it” and book the trip. The months between then and now, have been crazy. I’ve been forced to grow more than I expected, and in a completely different direction from normal. I’ve learned far more than I bargained for, and I want to pass as much of that on to you as possible. So, in light of that, I am giving you access to a training I put together for my clients in the Adventurepreneur Collective. It’s called 7 lessons from 6000 metres: a guide to personal development. It’s a summary of the most essential lessons I learned. Now, because I want to protect the privacy of the members of the collective, there are some pieces that are edited out. So there may be some pieces you feel are non sequiturs. That being said, you guys are all intelligent and you’ll be able to piece together what is missing. So, here are 7 lessons from 6000 metres. Enjoy

In my mind, the podcast you’re about to listen to could be the most important podcast I’ve ever recorded. I’ll prep you, it’s a bit of an emotional roller coaster. So be warned. The emotional highs and lows are worth it though because the lessons are the ones we all need to hear. I haven’t stopped talking about it with my friends and family since I finished it up. If you’ve ever wondered what really makes a good life… …or what people really regret in their final years… …or what most people wish they had done differently in their lives, then this is the podcast for you. Today, I am interviewing Heath Piper, the founder of Playback Interviews. Heath interviews the life stories of the elderly so their families have a deeply personal memoir. Even though these interviews are strictly confidential to the families, Heath has given us an insight into the lessons that have moved him most, both emotionally and forward in life. This podcast is rife with stories and lessons. --- Before I get to the show, I want to give you a very quick update on my coaching services because things are shifting. The Adventurepreneur Collective has evolved and has become what I’ve always been longing to coach: how to be who you’re supposed to be. We cover three essential topics: how to stop living a life that doesn’t make you into who you’re supposed to be, how to stop feeling frantic, imprecise and rushed, and how to rid yourself of an unclear mind. Anyway, here’s the update: I’m changing the way I deliver this coaching & making it far more of a deep experience. I’m only working with those who apply & fit the bill, and I’m limiting the membership to 40 members at any one time. What’s more, I’m only going to be accepting 4 new sign ups per month. The group is currently 15 strong, with another two joining in the April batch. So there’s only two more spaces to be had before May. If you’re interested in exploring what more freedom, self mastery, and effectiveness would do in your life, shoot me a message on Instagram. You’ll need to head to instagram and search for my name, Tom Foxley. --- Now, let’s get on with an incredible show with Heath Piper, I think you’re going to love this one.
