In this episode, we explore emotional comedowns after big events and are asking where are all the normal, smart people?

After Josh's mammoth 2 week book tour, we dive into what life feels like after this as normalcy sets in. We dig into why people often crash after big events and how to navigate that period.

From there, we move into a conversation about our society.

It seems to hard right are winning. Despite Labour winning a huge majority in the UK election, the popular vote tells another story.

If Proportional Representation existed, they would have 236 vs 411 seats, and Reform would have 94 vs 5 seats. It’s not quite the left victory when you look at this way.

Similar (and potentially more worrying) things happening in the US and across Europe.

The hard left is equally divisive and isolating. You're either in it, or you're the other side.

Fringes seem to be getting bigger and louder. The majority middle seems quiet and inert.

The people who can stop the nutters seem to be underground or sleeping.

So, we're asking where are all the normal people hiding?

Two perfect moments come together in this latest episode of 115 miles.

Not only does it mark our 100th episode (which I think we actually forgot to mention), but also it is the launch week for Josh's book, It's Them, Not You. For anyone that has followed us since the early days of this podcast, you'll know how momentous this week is and we're delighted to have explored on this this special episode.

We hope you enjoy the listen!

In this episode, we (Josh & Has) first go deep on the check-in, exploring the things we think about and don't often say.

We then dive into the topic of therapy vs coaching, which stemmed from an online conversation that began the previous week. A well known and pretty active on social media founder in the therapeutic space made a claim about coaching not being able to support people to make long term changes in their mental health needs.

We dive into the situation a bit, but also around the topic of therapy and coaching in more detail.

Not one to miss!

It's Men's Health Week, and we go deep into it this week. We bust some fallacies that men don't do emotions (just look at football fans if you don't believe us), and we explore why it is so much harder for some to do it in normal life.

Has talks about his journey with his family, and also his struggle to let go and cry via a discussion around visualisations.

The recent societal narrative has veered us towards zoning in on mental health when we talk about men's health, but we actually dig into the physical side of it - how often do we think about it, does health play on our minds and do we go to the doctors?

A great conversation, even if we do say so ourselves!

With the recent launch of tyllr for Has and Josh being off grid this week, we have a special re-issue of one of our most popular episodes ever.

Do you have persistent feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt and fears of being exposed as a fraud?

If the answer is yes, then you could one of the many millions of us that suffer with Imposter Syndrome.

According to YOUGOV, 66% of Britons find it difficult to receive praise or compliments from others. Around 57% downplay their achievements and criticise themselves more than others criticise them.

Imposter Syndrome is real and for many people, it prevents them from moving forward in their lives.

In this episode of 115 miles, we go deep on this topic, both from a personal exploration and also how it might show up for others. Josh shares his framework for acknowledging and addressing feeling like an imposter and how to move through it.

We recorded this special episode on a very special day - May 14th, which is also Josh's 12 year sobriety anniversary.

As you might imagine, we dedicated our conversation to exploring Josh's journey, but also in doing so, we go deeper into society's relationship with addiction, our own less obvious addictions and the importance of active listening vs advice giving.

We end with some powerful reflections - an exercise we think we'd all benefit from doing regularly.

A big conversation on a big day. We hope you enjoy it.

There's no sugarcoating this one...in today's episode, we're talking about 'death'.

Before you switch off your sets, let us (Josh & Has) explain...it's a taboo subject that people are afraid to talk about. We dig into why that is, as well as our personal views on life, mortality and death.

We discuss regrets, how the best time is now and how to tell important people that we love them.

We might say this often, but we think this could be one of our best discussions yet!

Death ain't an easy topic to discuss or think about...it's about to get uncomfortable.

On this episode, we dive into superhuman feats and whether we can all do them, or the exceptional few that are born with special powers. We discussed, Russ Cook, who recently ran the length of Africa in 352 days. Nicknamed 'Hardest geezer', he had several moments during the journey where mere mortals would have turned around and gone home, but he pushed through and 'ground' it out.

In our conversation, we ask if society no longer favours discomfort, hard work or the 'hustle'. It's a tricky, nuanced discussion that sees us get tangled up with each other a few times.

We hope you're sitting comfortably...this one is about to get about to get uncomfortable!
