In this inspiring episode of Project Peak Performance, Dave and Rob sit down with Mike Bates, a real-life 'James Bond' whose extraordinary journey encompasses covert counter-terrorism operations, solo ocean rowing, and redefining masculinity.

He passionately challenges the traditional 'man-up' culture, advocating for a new understanding of true masculinity that emphasises resilience, humility, and emotional well-being. Mike highlights the struggles men face navigating midlife and the impact on families, relationships, and communities while empowering and educating men to become the best versions of themselves in the second half of life.

Listeners gain insights into Mike's experiences, learning valuable lessons in leadership and resilience. Balancing high-stakes professional and personal pursuits with family life, Mike offers a compelling narrative of overcoming adversity and achieving personal goals. His journey to attaining a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu illustrates the positive influence martial arts can have on mental and physical health, and its role in building a strong community.

Mike also reveals his next big challenge exclusively on the podcast.
