👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A while back I was coaching someone who'd been running a very specific strategy. The model looked something like this: you + a whole bunch of concepts, tools, skills, models and strategies = Super You. Sound familiar? The thing is - it wasn't working. And when I looked at why, something became obvious. He had the model completely back to front. In this episode of the podcast, Andrea and I dig into why that model makes overwhelm worse - not better - and what actually creates the clarity and discernment you need to navigate...

A few weeks ago I mentioned we were working on a new podcast series called Exponential Clarity. The first episode is out. I wrote something in my book Results back in 2016 that I've been thinking about a lot lately: "Giving humanity exponential technology at our current level of consciousness is like giving a toddler a machine gun." I wrote that eight years before ChatGPT; before the wave we're living through right now. In this first episode, Andrea Deltetto and I dig into what that actually means - and why the gap between our technological capability and our understanding of our own...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A few weeks ago, I uploaded my books - Clarity and Results - to an AI assistant, made an assertion about the three principles and consciousness, and started a debate about the principles of psychology. At a certain point, the AI stopped and said: "I think you've just created a logical refutation of materialism." That conversation inspired me to write a philosophy paper - which I've just submitted to the journal Mind, published by Oxford University Press. It's called The Bag Cannot Contain Itself. In this clip, Andrea asks...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: We're working on a new podcast called Exponential Clarity, and this is a sneak peek from the first episode. In this 5-minute clip, I unpack a statement that's been on my mind a lot lately: "We have extraordinary brains and God-like technology, but we're limited by a medieval understanding of our own minds and emotions." I think it matters more now than ever. Big love, Jamie

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com Y esterday I was interviewed by my colleague and good friend Juliet O'Rourke - and at a certain point she asked me a question that many people wonder about. "If this understanding is so powerful - why isn't it more widely known?" In this short clip, I share three reasons why. One of them involves the story of a Dutch scientist in the 1600s, an assassination attempt on a US president, and a 20-year race between two rival teams of scientists. And why that story might tell us something important about where...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Kathy Zant from the Coach Factory podcast, and we had a really rich conversation about coaching, transformation, and what it means to help people wake up to who they really are. This is a brief clip from that interview (11 minutes) that explores something fundamental about human nature and how we perceive ourselves. It touches on evolution, consciousness, and why most people spend their lives experiencing themselves through other people's eyes without even realizing it. And it points...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: I just recorded this about something I've been reflecting on as we move through January. 2025 was a bit choppy for me - and for a lot of people in my community. Lots of letting go. Lots of shedding old skin. And then my girlfriend reminded me: 2025 was the Chinese Year of the Snake. Snakes shed their skin. The old skin must be shed before the new can emerge. In this clip, I share what I've been seeing about this transition - and why 2026 (the Year of the Horse) feels like it's going to be very different. Big love,...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com --- Earlier this year I sat down with my friend and colleague Doug O'Brien for a conversation about clarity, mindset, and what actually creates lasting change. In this clip, we explore a powerful distinction that often gets missed - and once you see it, it quietly changes how you see personal change, insight, and wellbeing. Big love, Jamie P.S. If you've been looking to get a deeper understanding of the principles behind clarity, bringing them more fully into your work and your day to day life, you...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: A few weeks ago I sat down with Jacquie Bamber - a CCT graduate and good friend - and her daughter Ellie for a conversation about the three principles. In this clip, I share the story of Sydney Banks - the Scottish welder who had a profound realization that changed everything. Someone made a throwaway comment to Syd that he heard so deeply that it changed his life, and has gone on to touch millions more (including my own). You'll also hear: The three insights that completely reorganized my life back in 2009 Why the...

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com This week I sat down with my good friend and long-time colleague Christian McNeill for a conversation about something that’s becoming more relevant by the day - the principles behind clarity, transformation and resilience, and why they matter so much in the world we’re living in now. Christian was one of the first people to come through my programmes over 15 years ago, and she shares the moment this understanding “hit like a train” and changed the entire trajectory of her life and work. From...
info_outlineThere’s a moment in nearly every breakthrough – one that’s easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for. It’s often quiet, almost invisible… but it’s where everything starts to shift.
In last night’s masterclass, I slowed things down and unpacked a recent coaching demo where one of these pivotal moments happened, and we explored:
– What I was noticing beneath the surface
– Why I asked the questions I did (including a few that might seem counterintuitive)
– How the entire session pivoted on a single shift in perspective
If you’re a coach, change-worker, or just fascinated by the inside-out nature of real transformation, I think you’ll find this especially useful.
Big love,
Jamie
P.S. Towards the end of the session, I shared two possible next steps for anyone wanting to take their coaching to the next level:
1 - If you’ve been considering joining Clarity Certification Training and want to explore if it’s the right next step for you, you can start your CCT application & diagnostic here.
Submitting the application isn’t a commitment to join – it’s an exploration. And many find that simply completing the diagnostic gives you deep, valuable insights into your coaching journey and business.
Super Early Bird pricing expires on May 29th, but if you decide to join, we’ll honour that rate based on your application date.
2 - Or if you’d prefer to get to know me better and experience my work in a small group, you’re warmly invited to join our next Impact & Confidence Accelerator on June 12th (a few spots are still available).
