The Smith Bros - James Nelson Joyce

In our first full episode, the four Smith brothers sit down with James Nelson-Joyce - the star of This City is Ours and one of Liverpool’s finest actors - for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about boxing, acting, pressure, identity, and what it takes to survive at the top of your craft. We talk candidly about: Growing up in Liverpool and finding acting by chance Rejection, luck, and having a chip on your shoulder The crossover between boxing mentality and acting discipline Heroes, inspirations, and the importance of seeing someone “like you” make it Ego, confidence, delusion; and why you need all three to succeed Boxing culture, celebrity fights, and respect for anyone who steps in the ring From Mike Tyson and Rocky to gym culture, auditions, bad nights, and life after the spotlight - this is a proper conversation, not soundbites. Boxing is the starting point. Life beyond the ring is the real subject.

The Smith Bros - Steven Gerrard

Leadership, Pressure, Regrets & Life After Football
 
Welcome to another episode of The Smith Brothers: Not a Podcast. Today we’re joined by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
 
In a proper, wide-ranging chat, Stevie talks openly about life after playing, why he’s being patient about his next coaching role, and what pressure really feels like at the very top - from Champions League nights to moments he’d take back.
 
We get into:
 
Family life now (and the new chapter with the granddaughter)
 
TV work, travel, and staying selective with appearances
 
Rangers, Villa, and the reality of choosing the “right” next job
 
The difference between being an elite player and becoming a manager
 
Modern football vs the old days (physicality, cameras, scrutiny)
 
Regrets: reds, tackles, emotion, and what you learn from it
 
Big-game nerves, sleep, and the mental side of performing
 
The Liverpool years: biggest moments, best teammates, and what makes winners
 
Transfers, owners, analytics, and how decisions really get made
 
Boxing is our world; but this one is about mentality, pressure, and what it takes to stay at the top when everyone has an opinion.
