Mike Lashmar, Co-Founder & NED in hospitality and independant hotels, was no stranger to hard work. Building a business, managing a career, and raising a family—he was pushing full throttle. But despite his success, something was off. He was drained, unfocused, and running on fumes.

In this episode of The One Percent, Mike shares how he flipped the script on high performance—not by working harder, but by managing his energy. From losing 9kg to becoming more present at home and sharper in business, his transformation proves that success isn’t about grinding yourself into the ground—it’s about showing up at your best, every day.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of doing more but feeling less, this conversation will shift your perspective.
