In this episode of The One Percent podcast, I sit down with Alistair Dornan, former client and CRO at Gallagher, to discuss why real, lasting change doesn’t come from grinding harder or chasing balance—it comes from having a framework that works for you.
Despite a successful career and a great family life on the surface, Alistair found himself stuck. After an injury took him out of cycling, his fitness slipped, his energy levels crashed, and stress crept in. He was snapping at his kids, drinking more than he wanted to, and feeling like he was slowly losing control.
In this conversation, Alistair unpacks how he went from feeling frustrated and disconnected to being in full control—physically, mentally, and emotionally. We talk about how structure, discipline, and small, consistent actions helped him rebuild his foundations in a way that’s stuck years after finishing the program.
This episode is about why motivation is overrated, why balance isn’t the goal, and why real change comes from taking ownership. If you’re looking for a way to level up without burning out, tune in.
