In this deeply honest conversation with Mike Henderson, we explore how breathwork becomes the bridge back to presence, to truth, and to the parts of us we’ve been avoiding. From addiction and emotional suppression to fatherhood, grief, and self-worth, this episode is a raw invitation to stop escaping and finally come home to who you are.

What if the reason you keep getting in your own way has nothing to do with discipline or motivation — and everything to do with programming you've never seen?

In this first guest episode, Paddy sits down with high performance coach Justin Potts to explore what's actually running most people's lives: the subconscious. They unpack the roots of the "not enough" belief, why willpower always falls short, how the meaning we assign our experiences shapes our entire reality, and what it takes to address emotional patterns at the source rather than just managing the symptoms.

Raw, practical, and deeply honest. A conversation about healing that doesn't feel like therapy.

In this first guest episode of North Star, Paddy sits down with high performance coach Justin Potts for a wide-ranging conversation on what's actually running most people's lives: the subconscious. Justin breaks down why 98% of our behaviour is controlled beneath the surface, why willpower alone will always fall short, and what it really takes to address emotional patterns at their source rather than just managing the symptoms.

They explore the roots of the "not enough" belief that shapes so many men's lives, the difference between therapy and genuine resolution, how the meaning we give our experiences creates our biochemical reality, and practical tools for shifting your state when you're stuck. They also get into conscious parenting, levels of awareness, and what it means to step from victim to creator to something altogether more expansive — living through you rather than by you.
