He Built a $35M Fitness Empire… Then Lost Himself: Geoff Jowett
I sat down with Geoff Jowett, the man behind Vision Personal Training and Bodytrim, to unpack the truth about what happens when your business success comes at the cost of your identity.
Geoff built a $35 million fitness empire with over 120 staff — but behind the scenes, he was battling addiction, ADHD, and burnout. In this conversation, he opens up about chasing dopamine, losing himself in the hustle, and what real success looks like after it all comes crashing down.
This is a raw, honest, and powerful conversation about rebuilding from the inside out.
