Building a business is hard. 
Maintaining healthy relationships with those that you care about is hard.
 Staying fit and healthy in your body, your mind and your emotions is hard. 
This podcast is about finding and sharing tools, strategies and experiences that may help you to achieve and maintain moderate success in your life, whatever that means to you. 
There is a ton of content created by the billionaires, the ultra successful athletes, and by people that are at a level that the vast majority of us will just never get to. And if you're anything like me, you're totally okay with that. 
This is a place where we talk about how to build a great business, but not necessarily a massive one. A place to talk about how we build a life that is balanced and integrated, but not necessarily optimised to levels that are not realistic for most of us. 
In short, it's a place where we explore how to be moderately successful. 
The work will always remain yours, and for the most part, it's simple, but not easy.
I sincerely hope it's valuable to you.

This is not the place where you'll hear about how to build a billion-dollar business, win an ironman event, or find spiritual enlightenment. What I can share is my experience around how to build, lead and exit a business of maybe a few million dollars, how to place in the top 10 in a mountain bike stage race or how to implement systems to continually work and improve on your mental and physical health.In short…I might be able to offer a little help on how to be moderately successful. To be really clear, nothing that I share is financial advice or advice of any kind for that matter but rather my own experience shared. It’s critical that you do your own research on anything that I share in this podcast and that you take responsibility for your own decisions.I want to challenge you to be more than just a passenger. If you hear anything in any of the episodes that resonate with you and that you want to implement in your own life, take action by teaching that thing to someone within the next 24 hours and then ask them to hold you accountable for doing the thing that you said you were going to do. Teaching is often the best way to learn and accountability is usually the thing between talk and meaningful, consistent action.
I hope you find some value...
