  • [BONUS] The Conversation We Kept Recording: Matt & Xena Go Deeper
    This is the “fly-on-the-wall” chat Matt & I had after we wrapped up Episode 133. We’d just finished recording but the conversation kept flowing - so we hit record again!In this bonus episode you’ll hear an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at how Matt gamifies fitness & builds “practices”.We also riff on ADHD, dopamine, chin-ups, Demi Moore in GI Jane and why life feels better when you treat it like a game.If you loved Episode #133, this is the deeper, more candid follow-up that connects all the dots.ABOUT MATT: Matt Henderson is a health and performance coach who has never fit the mould - and that’s exactly his edge. Once branded the troublemaker who pushed back against authority, Matt has turned that same wiring into a strength. Today He helps high-achieving professionals unlock energy, resilience, and clarity by reframing life not as a grind, but as a game worth playing.Through Fit Club, his coaching work, and challenges like Project 50, Matt shows how to build “characters” instead of chasing discipline, learn to step into the contest instead of avoiding stress, and design rules that create freedom instead of punishment. From the outside, it looks like discipline; in reality, it’s play. And that shift - seeing life as a game - has become his way of thriving in business, sport and family life.Connect with Matt: Website: https://www.fitclub.co.nz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefitclubproject/ Email: [email protected] more support from Navigating Adult ADHD visit: www.navigatingadultadhd.com/
