About This Video

In this live Q&A I went straight from the office into a proper, no-fluff conversation about careers, money, and dating—because that’s what most guys in their 20s and 30s are actually dealing with in real life. I started with why I now treat osteo like maintenance, not a luxury. I run three times a week and train five times a week, so if I’m trying to stay consistent, staying uninjured is part of the plan. Same principle applies to work and content: repetition builds real skill. I’ve improved my filming and editing because I’ve practiced it over and over, even when the results weren’t immediate. On the career side, I broke down how to stand out in investment banking when everyone looks like a “high performer” on paper. The key is simple: figure out what your specific team values (presenting, Excel, client skills, visibility, culture) and tailor your effort to that—because you can’t stand out in something nobody cares about. I also touched on salary expectations (corporate law vs IB), FP&A as a solid route with flexibility, and why I keep my content separate from my day job. Then we got into the money and dating conversations people avoid: the UK is a two-income economy now, men shouldn’t destroy themselves to “pay everything,” and asking about someone’s job (and even salary) is usually a proxy for lifestyle and expectations. I also shared my view on joint accounts: they make sense when you’re genuinely splitting bills, not as a forced “transparency” badge.
