From Ironman to Inner Peace: Gareth Allen on Solopreneurship, Self-Awareness & Men's Mental Health

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Gareth Allen — Business Performance Coach, commercial funding specialist, endurance athlete, and the founder of GAP Coaching. What starts as a conversation about coaching solopreneurs quickly evolves into a deeper exploration of men’s mental health, the pressures of high performance, and the power of showing up authentically. Gareth shares openly about his transition from bank manager to self-employed business coach, the story behind his community group Launchpad, and how completing a back-to-back 5x Ironman event became both a physical milestone and a personal wake-up call. Together we explore: • What solopreneurs really need to sleep better at night • How systems (not hustle) can restore balance and boost performance • The difference between growing a business vs being busy in one • The value of honesty, vulnerability and admitting "I don't know" as a coach • Gareth’s reflections on addiction, endurance, and the fine line between drive and avoidance • The unseen pressures many men face — and how connection can help Whether you're a solopreneur, a coach, a high performer, or someone just trying to find more balance — this conversation will leave you feeling seen, heard, and hopefully, a little less alone.
