Flowstate Bootcamp™
No More Throttled Performance. Choking Under Pressure. Or Bulldozers Pushing Around Inside Your Head
Imagine that... no self-criticism, self-doubt, and self-sabotage pissing all over your parade.
How much more creative would you be?
How much more prolific?
How much healthier and happier?
Rather than bringing your A-Game to the party one day and your village idiot the next, you'd be your fully charged, optimised best on a consistent daily basis.
No matter what life threw at you.
As a high achiever I used to dream of a reality like that – with no backchat or backstabbing from my bully-boy brain.
But instead I was torn.
Years of mismanaged pressure clamped something shut.
And I lost my perspective.
And when that went south, so did my optimism.
In my relentless pursuit for perfection I was ground down, wound up, and running on fumes.
I started flying off the handle for no apparent reason.
Defending shit ideas when I knew they weren't good enough.
Shunning family and friends and things I loved doing.
And getting paranoid as hell.
But like a punch drunk boxer I kept on swinging, believing that that's what high performance looks like...
STRESS, SACRIFICE, AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
Suffering for your art was the story I'd been sold, the protocol I'd mastered, and the message I preached.
"The work, the work, the work."
"You're only as good as the last thing you did."
"Pressure creates diamonds."
WHAT A CROCK
Running on adrenaline and cortisol put me in intensive care with anaphylactic shock and double lung pneumonia
By 2003 my masochistic way of working hadn't just burnt my brain to a crisp, it'd blown my immune system to shit.
And when I finally woke up on a bloodied bed in a hospital corridor the doctor told me I'd been minutes away from a massive cardiac arrest, and that I was lucky to be alive.
Lucky to be alive???
I should've been swinging from the rafters.
I'd dodged a fucking heart attack at 28.
But instead I was pissed.
It wasn't joy or relief that surged through my swollen veins when I lay in that bed.
It was guilt.
Because all I could think about was the Diet Coke shoot I'd collapsed on.
And all I could focus on was how shit I was for not being on set when everyone else was still hard at it.
What the fuck was I thinking?
What the hell had I turned into?
Why was I such a self-harming psycho?
I used to be the sanest person I knew.
And here I was, beating myself up for being too sick to work.
The look in the doctor's eyes told me something had to change. And it had to change FAST. Because I may have dodged that bullet, but I feared the next.
When I walked out of intensive care I did what had to be done
I quit the job of my dreams and went toe-to-toe with toxic high performance
Definitely the best training I’ve been on in a long, long, long, long time!

Flowstate Bootcamp is The Pressure-Tested Product of a Post Burnout Obsession
An obsession that had three clear targets:
✓ Learn how to create the best work of my life WITHOUT sacrificing my sanity
✓ Learn how to beat burnout AT THE SAME TIME as raising my standards
✓ Learn how to lead under pressure WITHOUT buckling, bending, or blowing shit up
For the next 8 years I clocked up thousands of hours studying MASTER level qualifications in peak performance psychology, neuroscience, and trauma counselling
I devoured every textbook and research paper I could find on flow science, altered states of consciousness and the unconscious mind, and graduated from King's College London with a FIRST in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy.
After 4 years as a Harley Street trauma therapist I became a Sustainable High Performance Coach for battle-hardened creative leaders and their CEO's, and started to run flowstate trainings for some of the world's most influential brands, agencies, and MBA schools.
And for the past decade I've torture-tested the Flowstate Bootcamp™ protocols with teams and individuals all over the world.
Flowstate Bootcamp is the ONLY training of it's kind that fuses clinical hypnotherapy and neurocardiology to pressure proof your brain, declutter your mind, and eliminate the subconscious bullshit holding you back
The feedback was incredible and definitely an event I want to run again and again and again!
MARC LEWIS, Founder and Dean, School of Communication Arts 2.0
The best training we’ve ever had.
Bar none.
MAT THOMAS, Senior Manager, Brand Comms, Toyota
It’s stayed with me as one of the most impactful and memorable trainings I’ve ever attended. And I’ve attended a few!

Without flow there is no sustainable high performance, no consistent innovation, no antifragile wellbeing, and no predictable acts of genius
Without flow there is chronic stress, free-floating anxiety, self-sabotage, toxic head chatter, burnout, disengagement, resentment, fear, frustration, and a monumental loss of love of what you do, and the people you do it for.
So in this, the Decade of Disruption, Flow isn't a nice-to-have, it's an absolute MUST have. Because if you want to stay on the top of your game without dropping a bomb on your health, you need to build a brain that doesn't buckle, bend, or burnout under pressure.
And you do that, with flow.
Flow is the enemy of fear, the antidote to anxiety, and the flourishing brain's answer to the frazzled mind's question, "How the hell am I gonna keep up???"
It's Not Called The Holy Grail of Elite Performance For Nothing
In a pressure-cooker world flow is your unfair advantage.
It's the effortless effort that's won million dollar contracts and Olympic Gold Medals.
It's the performance enhancing rocket fuel that's spearheaded scientific breakthroughs and centuries of creative genius.
And it's the feeling you get when your brain goes "WOW!"
When you're in flow bends in your favour, performance skyrockets, and the whispering voice of doom falls silent.
As your focus tightens and motivation soars a performance enhancing cocktail of feel-good chemicals surge through your brain, turning obstacles into opportunities, threats into challenges, and loses into learnings.
Free from toxic head-chatter and chronic anxiety you're leapfrogging plateaus, tearing down boundaries, and mainlining the greatest performance enhancing steroid known to humanity.
Nothing is impossible, nothing is a bore, and nothing is standing between you and your wildest expectations.
But The Best Thing About Flow Isn't How It FEELS, It's What It DOES...
FLOW BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY BY 500%
A decade long study by McKinsey & Co. found that creators and top execs are 5 times more productive in flow
FLOW AMPLIFIES CREATIVITY BY 430%
The University of Sydney showed subjects in flow have a 430% increase in creative problem solving
FLOW ACCELERATES LEARNING BY 490%
Advanced Brain Monitoring in the US Military showed a 490% increase in skill acquisition whilst in flow
AND THE AFTERGLOW LASTS FOR 3 DAYS
Harvard found that subjects had three days of heightened creativity after the flow state
But despite flow's monumental upsides, it's got one major drawback - it's so fucking fragile
One minute you’re powering through your to-do list like Schumacher in the wet, and the next you’re spat out of its loving embrace like a pellet in a pigeon eating competition.
Sometimes you blame your environment for breaking your flow, sometimes other people. But the truth is this: it was YOU who pulled the plug, not them.
Because when flow goes south it's because something bubbled up from your subconscious and made it so.
I call it your SUBCONSCIOUS SABOTEUR, and like any silent assassin it's killed off more great ideas, amazing innovations, and world class performances than stress and anxiety combined.
In Flowstate Bootcamp You Won't Just Identify Your Subconscious Saboteur, You'll Obliterate It
Because despite what the happy clappy hippies, stress management trainers and mindful navel gazers say, you can do all the breath work, box breathing and stress reduction you like, but until you identify and eliminate the SUBCONSCIOUS SABOTEUR that's opposed to your performance goals, dreams, and aspirations you're at the mercy of flow, not the master of it.

What Sets Flowstate Bootcamp™ Apart?
TORTURE TESTED CONTENT
Every tool, tactic, and step-by-step protocol you'll learn in Flowstate Bootcamp has been tried and torture tested on the creative battlefield in the heat of extreme pressure and competition. Anything that didn't stand up to its promise of igniting, amplifying and/or sustaining peak flow states got refined or rejected until it earned its place in this program.
BATTLE TESTED TRAINER
I've studied peak performance psychology at the most prestigious institutions and universities in the world, but I'm NOT a pen pusher, theorist, academic, or flowstate enthusiast. I was born and raised in some of the most mentally and emotionally demanding creative companies in the industry and have relied on it to thrive.
PRESSURE TESTED RESULTS
Some of the sharpest, smartest, most prolific creative brains and businesses in the world have passed through Flowstate Bootcamp™ And if the real world results THEY got from the tools, tactics, and protocols don't stick like bricks when the pressure gets intense, me and this bootcamp would have been resigned to the recycling bin years ago.

Fusing 20 years as a multi award-winning copywriter and creative director at Wieden+ Kennedy, M&C Saatchi, and Clemenger BBDO, with 14 years as a complex trauma specialist and creative leadership coach, I've got the letters after my name and scars on my back, to deliver the no-holds-barred, woo-woo-free knowledge, wisdom, and toolset you need to crush it at work without work crushing you, your teams, or your marriage.
When I'm not coaching clients one-on-one, studying the latest neuroscience, or running trainings and workshops for the likes of Fox, Disney, Bentley, Toyota, Lexus and every PR and ad agency in the world, I'm recording my podcast (The Pressure Proof Creative), finishing off my upcoming book (through John Hunt Publishing), or snapping strings on my Gibson Les Paul.
Today, everything I coach, teach, and preach is pressure-tested to the extreme and stripped clean of any fluff, filler, or unactionable bullshit.
Quick Facts
I've spent 20 years studying Psychotherapy, Applied Neuroscience, Peak Performance Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy at King's College London and the International NLP Trainers Association.
After two decades as a writer and creative director at some of the world's best advertising agencies, I became a sustainable high performance leadership coach and workshop facilitator by design.
Not because I got fired or made redundant.
I cut my teeth as a complex trauma specialist for some of the bravest people I know. And now I work with some of the most creative, powerful, and influential people I've ever met.
Not Jean from Slough or Stu from Hull.
It’s no exaggeration to say that this man has saved me. His methods and teachings are fascinating and life changing. And his experience in the industry means he truly understands the pressures we face.
