👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: In this episode, Andrea Deltetto and I explore a beautiful listener question: “How can we create what is ecessary to get there?” With “there” meaning the more humane, more connected, more abundant possible future we’ve been pointing to in this series. We talk about what it really takes to create what’s needed in these times — not just rearrange what already exists. You’ll hear us explore:  Why you cannot truly create from the intellect alone The deeper source of creativity beneath your ideas,...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: Beyond the Intellect: Staying Human in the Age of AI : Episode 2 of Rope Bridge Conversations We’re living through one of the biggest transitions in human history. AI is accelerating faster than any of us can track, reshaping how we think, work and connect. And while these tools offer extraordinary benefits, they also amplify something crucial: the human intellect — without being connected to the deeper wisdom at the heart of life. In this conversation, Jamie Smart and Andrea Deltetto explore what it really means to...

Get Clarity with Jamie Smart

In this extract from a recent live session, Jamie explores the value of a principles understanding in times of crisis. The world is shifting fast — with AI, volatility and uncertainty reshaping how we live and work. Yet there’s something deeper, unchanging, that every human being has access to. In this episode, Jamie shares: • Why AI might soon outthink (and outwork) us — and why that’s not the real issue • What humanity still has that no technology can replicate • And how awakening to the truth of who you really are might just be our best path forward A sobering yet hopeful...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: This episode is a short extract from a recent session in one of my advanced programmes. On the surface, it’s about something simple: knowing what you want. But as you’ll hear, this turns out to be far more powerful (and transformative) than most people realise. I talk about the subtle difference between “nice-to-have” goals and the kind of wanting that changes everything, and share a personal shift in how I approach my coaching work.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: In this 10-minute extract from one of my advanced workshops, I explore a question that so many people quietly carry: Why does it so often feel like we’re not good enough? The notion of “I’m not enough, but if I accomplish the right thing, then maybe one day I’ll be enough” is widespread — a meme embodied by billions. And it’s deeply life-sapping. In this clip, you’ll hear about: • Why so many of us pick up this belief without even realizing it • How certain cultures sponsor their children in a very...

In this short extract from one of my advanced workshops a few years back, I share a story about a weekend in Ireland that completely shifted how I saw myself — and pointed me to something easy to forget, yet absolutely fundamental. It’s only a few minutes long, but it goes right to the heart of what I see about how we’re made for this life. Big love, Jamie

I’m sharing a brief extract from this month’s private Clarity Coaches Tribe Masterclass, where I explored something that feels increasingly clear to me: many of the challenges we’re facing (and will face in the years ahead) can’t be solved purely at the psychological or even the practical level. In this short clip, I talk about: • What the Dalai Lama says is missing from modern education • The unexpected difference people started to notice in me when I moved from NLP to the principles • And what may be the subtlest yet most powerful thing you bring to the table ––– 👉 Get...

This video is a short extract from that session. In it, I share one of my favourite Buckminster Fuller quotes about humanity being in its “final exam”… and reflect on what that means in these extraordinary times. I also explore the strange juxtaposition between humanity’s...

I’m sharing a conversation I had with my friend and colleague, Doug O’Brien. Doug is a master storyteller, hypnotherapist, and bestselling author — and like me, he’s been fascinated for decades with the ways language and story can change lives. In this episode, we explore:  • How stories shape the way people see themselves and the world  • The simple structure behind every powerful story  • The role stories play in creating lasting change I think you’ll find this exploration both practical and thought-provoking — especially if you’ve ever wondered why a...

My friend Jonathan Armes at Capital Shift invited me to have a conversation exploring the topic of “Transforming Setbacks into Success” and he’s given me permission to share the full recording with you.  

We took a deep dive into something that affects us all: how we deal with setbacks in life and work, and what changes when we really understand how our mind works.  

So whether you're facing a challenge right now or want to support someone who is (friend, client, colleague or loved one), this was created with you in mind. 

Here’s some of what we covered:  

- Why obstacles are often just stepping stones—raw material for your transformation.  

- Why insight beats positive thinking every time (real breakthroughs come from fresh perspectives, not just pushing harder). 

- How to break free from victimhood, remember who you really are, and move through setbacks with more freedom and flow.  

Tons of love,  

Jamie
