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).

For episode 11 of The Learning Curve, I sat down with Jack Ako, and this one hit different.
From weighing 47 stone with his life on the line, to losing over 30 stone and completely transforming his future… Jack’s story is one of the most powerful examples of what’s possible when everything changes.
In this episode, we dive deep into Jack’s journey — the reality of living with morbid obesity, the turning point that forced him to take control, and the mindset required to rebuild his life from the ground up.
But what stood out most to me was this… Jack doesn’t credit just himself.
He credits the people around him. His family. His friends. And most importantly, his wife — who stood by his side for over 10 years, even when things were at their worst.
Now, Jack is using everything he’s learned to help others.
As a personal trainer and coach, he specialises in working with morbidly obese clients — guiding them through the same battle he once faced himself.
And this is only the beginning.
Jack now has his sights set on public speaking, taking his story into schools to help the next generation learn from his mistakes, his struggles, and his transformation.
This episode is about more than weight loss.
It’s about accountability, support, purpose… and becoming someone you’re proud of.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like change is impossible — this conversation might be exactly what you need.
