E210 | Can You Still Get Lean Without Quitting Alcohol?
1w ago00:47:53Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk breaks down one of the most common questions people ask when trying to transform their body: Can you still drink alcohol and get lean? The honest answer? Yes — but it comes with consequences, trade-offs, and a level of self-awareness most people avoid. Kirk shares his own journey with alcohol, including years of binge drinking while still managing to stay lean physically — but realizing over time that his relationship with alcohol was far from healthy, productive, or in alignment with the person he wanted to become. This episode isn't about telling people they can never drink again. It's about understanding why you drink, what alcohol is costing you, and whether your current habits are helping or hurting your goals. Inside the episode, Kirk discusses: The real impact alcohol has on fat loss and performance Why drinking slows progress — physically and mentally The hidden behavioural patterns behind alcohol consumption How many people use alcohol to escape stress, pressure, or emotion Why "moderation" is harder than most people admit The importance of discipline and emotional control How to stop living in a reactive cycle What helped Kirk regain control of his drinking habits How to build a healthier relationship with alcohol Why getting lean is about identity, not just calories This episode is designed to challenge your thinking around alcohol, habits, and self-control — without extremes, guilt, or unrealistic expectations. Because long-term transformation isn't built through restriction alone. It's built through awareness, discipline, and learning how to align your behaviours with the person you want to become.

2w ago01:09:31Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with former military sniper, coach, and close friend Martin Brady for a powerful conversation on pressure, identity, leadership, and personal growth.

The episode explores the truth about pressure: Why some people crumble under it while others grow through it. Martin opens up about the identity struggles that drove him for years, how pressure became both his fuel and his prison, and the turning point that forced him to completely reinvent the way he approached life, business, and performance. Inside this conversation, they discuss: Why pressure isn't the enemy — your relationship with it is The mindset shift that changed Martin's life forever Lessons from 18 years as a military sniper Why many high performers secretly feel trapped The hidden cost of always chasing achievement How to perform under pressure without burning out Rebuilding your identity after success The importance of leadership, discipline, and self-awareness Why most people stay stuck in old belief systems How to create real transformation from the inside out Martin also shares the mission behind "Built To Lead," the work he and his wife Rosanne are doing to impact the next generation, and why helping young people build resilience and self-belief has become such an important part of their future vision. This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, under pressure, or constantly chasing more while still feeling unfulfilled. Because real growth doesn't come from avoiding pressure. It comes from learning how to use it. Listen now and let us know your biggest takeaway. Apply for Built To Last: https://www.builttolast.co/apply

You can work long hours, stay constantly switched on, and still feel stuck. Why? Because productivity isn't just about time management — it's about energy management. Mental energy, physical energy, and emotional energy all influence how you perform, lead, and execute. Learn how to manage them properly, and everything changes. In this episode, Kirk discusses: Why being busy doesn't mean you're being effective The myth of grinding 24/7 How constant work destroys decision-making and focus Why always being available is hurting your business The truth about multitasking (and why it keeps you average) How to use deep work blocks to get more done in less time Why your hardest tasks should be done at peak energy times How to identify your "needle-moving" activities The power of automating, delegating, and eliminating low-value tasks Why weekly self-audits are essential for growth The Bigger Takeaway Most people don't need more hours. They need better use of the hours they already have. Protect your focus Guard your energy Prioritise what matters Stop doing things that don't move the needle Success rarely comes from doing more. It usually comes from doing less — better.

Mar 1600:16:16Tap to summarize*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-6973952e-6854-832f-8a1e-0cc990a89c29-0" data-testid= "conversation-turn-67" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk explores one of the most important foundations of long-term performance: emotional resilience. While many people focus on physical habits or productivity systems, lasting success often comes down to something deeper — your identity and your ability to stay emotionally consistent under pressure. Kirk explains how the story you tell yourself about who you are shapes your habits, decisions, and standards across health, business, and life. When your identity is aligned with the person you want to become, your behaviours begin to follow naturally. This episode also explores the importance of emotional consistency — the ability to manage stress, respond to challenges proactively, and maintain clarity when life becomes demanding. In this episode, Kirk covers: Why identity shapes your habits and long-term results How the beliefs you hold about yourself influence your behaviour The role emotional consistency plays in high performance Why proactive decision-making reduces stress and anxiety How movement and action can shift emotional state The danger of suppressing emotions instead of expressing them Practical ways to align daily habits with your values and identity This episode is a reminder that lasting change doesn't come from motivation alone — it comes from building a stronger identity and developing the emotional resilience to live by it consistently.
