The Turning Point | Fitness, Mindset & Health Conversations
The Turning Point
This isn’t just another self-improvement podcast.
This is about decisions. Action. Ownership.
Hosted by Tim Guest — a man who reached his own turning point after brain surgery, depression, and a hard reckoning with alcohol and prescription drugs — this podcast is for men in their 40s and 50s who feel stuck, out of shape, or quietly wondering if their best days are behind them.
Each episode brings raw, no-BS conversations with people who found themselves at a crossroads — in fitness, mindset, career, or life — and chose a different path. Real challenges. Real turning points. Real strategies you can use to take back control.
No hype. No excuses. No waiting for the “right time.”
This is The Turning Point.

The Turning Point | Fitness, Mindset & Health Conversations
Who Are You When the Game Ends?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I sit down with Guy Thompson — former professional rugby player turned personal trainer — for an honest conversation about life beyond the game.
We talk about the highs and pressures of professional rugby, the identity shift that comes when the crowd noise fades, and the mental health challenges that often sit quietly beneath the surface for elite athletes and high-performing men alike.
Guy shares what the transition out of rugby really looked like, how training became a grounding force rather than just performance-driven output, and why structure, routine, and physical discipline are so powerful during periods of uncertainty.
This isn’t just a conversation about sport.
It’s about identity, resilience, and learning how to rebuild when the version of you that once defined everything no longer fits.
If you’ve ever felt lost after a big chapter closed — in sport, career, or life — this episode will resonate deeply.
