The Learning Curve
The Learning Curve
Podcast Description
I’m Tom Lindley, and The Learning Curve is my not-so-polished attempt at figuring life out — one conversation at a time. I sit down with people from all walks of life to explore their biggest lessons, mindset shifts, and moments that changed everything. It’s not always deep, it’s definitely not perfect, but hopefully you’ll take something away (even if it’s just mild entertainment).
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on personal development, entrepreneurship, and life experiences, with episodes covering topics such as building a supplement brand from scratch, overcoming self-doubt, and the subjective nature of success. The conversation with Tom Wolfe, for instance, illustrates the challenges of starting a business with limited resources and the lessons learned from setbacks.

For Episode 6 of The Learning Curve, I’m joined by none other than Ryan Waugh — online fitness coach, elite-level Hyrox athlete… and now, my coach.
This episode also marks a first: Tom Wolfe (founder of Wolf Supplements, and my first ever podcast guest) joins as my first-ever co-host and guest. Together, we dive into Ryan’s journey, the Hyrox movement, and the mindset required to lead from the front — in both coaching and competition.
I first met Ryan 18 months ago through Wolf Supps, when Tom brought him on board as a sponsored athlete. Since then, Ryan’s success in coaching and Hyrox has brought a massive spotlight to the brand — and inspired countless people along the way.
He’s also the man behind Fitness on The Farm — a grassroots hybrid endurance event in Wakefield that’s quickly becoming a staple in the UK fitness calendar. After attending as spectators and sponsors, me and Tom decided to sign up as competitors… with Ryan as our coach.
This episode was recorded during Week 1 of our 11-week training block, now documented on the Wolf Supps YouTube channel as our series ‘Road to The Farm’. (We’re currently in Week 6 — and it’s heating up.)
