Styled By Standards
Styled By Standards is for people who know they're capable of more.
Hosted by transformation coach and behavioural change specialist Ross Potter, this podcast explores the psychology behind confidence, self-respect, identity, and the standards that quietly shape the lives we live. Drawing on over 15 years in the coaching seat, more than 350 client transformations, a background in policing, personal battles with depression, and the ongoing journey of becoming a stepdad, Ross shares honest conversations, real stories, and practical insights into what it actually takes to change.
This isn't a fitness podcast. It's a podcast about human behaviour.
Why confidence disappears, why standards collapse under pressure, and how to rebuild trust in yourself when you've drifted away from the person you know you're capable of becoming.

How I'd Lose 20lbs

If I woke up tomorrow 20lbs heavier, uncomfortable in my clothes, and unhappy with the person staring back at me, what would I actually do?
In this episode, I’m stripping away 15 years of experience, bodybuilding, hundreds of transformations and everything I’ve learned about why people succeed, and fail, to show you exactly how I’d approach losing 20lbs again. From food and movement to sleep, technology, environment, and why I’d almost disappear for 12 weeks. This isn’t about making fat loss harder...
It’s about making success harder to avoid!

You’ll question the cost of changing while spending thousands every year without thinking twice. This episode isn’t about saving money. It’s about priorities, the invisible price of inaction, and one uncomfortable question...
If nothing changes over the next 12 months, what will staying exactly where you are have cost you?

You’re tired. Your motivation has disappeared. Everything feels harder than it should, and you’re starting to wonder if you’re the problem. But what if your energy is simply being spent somewhere you haven’t noticed? In this episode, we explore the invisible drains quietly emptying your reservoir, and why sometimes the answer isn’t finding more motivation, but discovering where your energy is already going.

Never Two In A Row

This summer I walked into the gym, trained for five minutes, and left. After 15 years of training and hundreds of people coached, I still lost the argument with myself. This episode is about what happens when life gets heavy, routines disappear, and one bad decision threatens to become a pattern. We explore the simple rule I use inside my community to find our way back...

Not Everyone Wants You To Change

You finally decide to change. To ask for help. To lose the weight. Get healthier. Rebuild your confidence. And strangely, the people you expected to support you most start creating the most friction. This episode explores the jealousy, fear, and insecurity that can surface when you begin to outgrow the version of yourself everyone else became comfortable with, and why you cannot spend your life staying small just to make other people feel safe.
Who are you staying small for?

Something Worth Chasing

Weight loss has become far too serious. We obsess over calories, scales, steps, and targets but rarely stop to ask what all that work is actually for. In this episode, we explore what happens when you stop chasing a number and start building a life that genuinely excites you. From running your first 5K, writing a novel, or even signing up for an Ironman.
Maybe you don't need more motivation. Maybe you just need something worth chasing...

You've listened. You've thought about it. Maybe you've even told yourself that at some point you're going to do something about your health, fitness, or the way you feel in your own skin. This episode is where we stop thinking and start taking action.
I'm giving you the exact three step method I'd follow if I woke up tomorrow ashamed of what I saw in the mirror. Seven days of honest food tracking, a couple of simple nutritional adjustments, and 30 minutes of new movement every day. Plus... if you complete the seven days, I'll personally review your calories and macros for free. No extreme diet. No complicated programme. Just a place to start and someone in your corner.

Your Best Is Yet To Come

So many of us spend years trying to get back to an old version of ourselves, forgetting that the life we lived back then no longer exists. In this episode, we explore why change doesn't mean you've lost yourself, how the stories we tell about who we used to be can quietly keep us stuck, and why the people who transform their lives rarely go backwards. They instead become someone they never imagined possible. Maybe your best isn't behind you. Maybe you just haven't met them yet.

We all wear badges. Parent. Partner. Manager. Director. Business owner. Provider. The strong one. The successful one. But what happens when the badge becomes your entire identity?
In this deeply personal episode, we go back to my final chapter in the police, what it felt like to take off the uniform after almost a decade, and explore a much bigger question: when you strip away the titles, responsibilities, and achievements you've used to tell the world who you are, who's left underneath?

What if somebody followed you with a camera for seven days? Forget what you've said you want. What would your behaviour say? In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable and often shocking gap between intention and action, why we become experts at lying to ourselves, and the moment everything finally begins to change.
