Everyone loves a comeback story...

The setback, the breakthrough, the moment everything turns around. But there’s a part of the story that rarely gets spoken about. The bit in the middle, where nothing feels like nothing is work...

In this episode of Changing Lanes, I speak to Tom Berry from RebuildbyTom to explore this overlooked phase. The slow, quiet stretch where progress feels invisible, motivation fades, and you’re left questioning whether anything is actually changing.

We get into why this part matters more than the comeback itself, how the societal pressure to constantly push forward actually holds you back, and why learning to slow down, accepting where you are, and focusing on small, deliberate actions can quietly reshape everything.

We also touch on how social media distorts our perception of progress, why identity often shifts in uncomfortable ways during these phases, and how building simple structures and routines can carry you through long after motivation disappears.

If you’re in a season where things feel slow, uncertain, or stuck, this is the part most people skip.

And it might be the most important one.

We spend so much time asking, "What do I want?"

But what if there's a different place to start?

George Hearn returns to Changing Lanes to challenge the way we think about direction, purpose, and progress. We get into how easy it is to drift into a life that looks fine on the surface, but doesn’t feel quite right underneath, and why the comfort zone is often far less comfortable than it seems.

This conversation explores a different approach. One that isn’t about chasing clarity or forcing big answers, but about paying attention to the smaller signals we tend to ignore. The routines we fall into, the things we tolerate, and the subtle ways we avoid making real change.

We also talk about why doing the work feels boring (and why that’s exactly why it works), how structure and accountability quietly shape your life more than motivation ever will, and why trying to figure everything out upfront might actually be what’s keeping you stuck.

If you’ve been overthinking your next move, waiting for clarity to come in the form of some divine intervention, or feeling like you should have it all figured out by now, then this episode might offer a different place to start.

At some point, life has a way of pulling the rug out from under you.

For Luke Randall, that moment came after losing three things very close to his heart all within a short space of time. What followed wasn’t a perfectly planned life pivot, but a simple decision that many people talk themselves out of.

That one decision changed more than he expected...

In this episode of Changing Lanes, Luke and I talk about why solo travel is one of the ultimate tools for personal development. We explore how stepping into unfamiliar environments challenges the restrictions we place on ourselves, why learning to rely on yourself builds a different kind of confidence, and how difficult, hardest life moments often push us toward the changes we didn’t realise we needed.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to travel solo (or maybe the idea of it terrifies you), make a big life change, or step outside the path you’ve always followed, this conversation might give you a different perspective on what’s possible.
