Alan Newton on Men Under Pressure, Coaching vs Mentoring, and Finding Balance Through Change
Savvy Rocks opens season seven of the Us People podcast focused on legacy, healing, and becoming one’s true self, then interviews Alan Newton, a Liverpool-raised former tech founder and operator, founder of Newton Squared, and creator of Men Under Pressure.
Alan shares how a loving working-class upbringing, emphasis on education, bullying, and corporate office politics shaped his introversion, leadership style, and empathy. They discuss trauma as a catalyst for growth, conflict dynamics, emotional regulation, meditation, and the need for compassion.
Alan explains why he became a technology founder, how he built a business after redundancy, and later pivoted into advisory, mentoring, and coaching, distinguishing each and outlining his ABC framework (awareness, balance, clarity), integration work, and masculine/feminine balance ideas influenced by Jung. He highlights men’s difficulty expressing feelings, a mild depression diagnosis, concerns about overprescribing medication, and where to find him online.
