Last night I broke 3 of my sleep 'rules' to witness sporting history. I spent 2 hours in bed on my phone watching golf. I went to sleep way past my 'bedtime'. I only managed 6 hours of sleep. But it was so worth it! Last night, Rory McIlroy entered sporting immortality by winning the Masters golf tournament and becoming only the 6th golfer in history (1st European) to complete the 'grand slam' in golf. Now, you may have zero interest in golf, but even if that's the case you'll want to read...

What have I got for you today Does creatine cause water retention? Should I buy the expensive creatine? I'm on a mission to get as many people hooked on this powdery white substance as I possibly can. No, I'm not on about a popular soft drink. I am of course referring to creatine. Hands down one of the greatest supplements around, creatine is a behemoth when it comes to performance. But, as with any great supplement, there are plenty of questions surrounding it, and in todays email I'm going...

Pain sucks! Be it physical or emotional pain, it sucks ass, and it sucks it hard! I've been in the gym for two decades and I've also played a lot of sports.

Which is where I'm going with today’s email... How To UnF*ck your Lower Back Before I get cracking, show of hands in the room. How many people here have...

One of my favourite mantras is - "You are only as strong as your ability to recover" I live and die by those words! Simply put, how you recover ultimately determines how well you can perform. Either in the gym or in the boardroom. Rest isn’t just about sleep. If you’re constantly drained—physically, mentally, emotionally—it’s because your body needs more than just a few extra hours in bed. Most high-performing entrepreneurs and business leaders burn out because they only focus on physical...

We're coming up to the end of Q1 for 2025, which for me, sounds a bit crazy to say. In theory, this means you should be 10+ weeks closer to achieving your BIG annual goals. Maybe you're smashing things and you've already ticked a couple off already. But what if you're not crushing it? What then? Do you get disheartened and throw in the towel? Or do you make some adjustments and make the next three-quarters immense? You do the latter! As it's March, I'm going to go through how you can do a bit...

I got quite a nice response to last week's email on sleep deprivation. (If you haven’t already checked it out, click here to do just that) But it was very much a 'why' and 'what' kinda email. I spent most of it telling you how dreadful a lack of sleep was on your body, a kind of educated scare tactic 😂 So, today's email is once again on sleep, but instead of filling you with facts and figures, I want to share some of the things that you can do to improve your sleep quality. Without further...

As humans, most of us go through a bit of a roller coaster relationship with sleep. When we're a toddler, we can't get enough sleep. Then when we're teens, we couldn't care less about it. Except for the summer holidays, then it's 10 hours a night. We then progress onto adulthood, which for the majority of us, means we start 'hustling'. The net result is a shift towards less sleep. Then 40-50 years later, when we're well and truly in our later years, we fall back in love with sleep again....

Food. Delicious food. The torn in most people's backside. How can something so great, also be so devastating? Today I'm going to dissect the main reasons why some struggle with it more than others. Let's get stuck in... The Biggest Reasons Behind a Failed Diet So before I get started I want to clearly define what I mean when I say the word 'diet' because it gets misconstrued quite easily. In recent times, especially in the 60s with the Atkins diet and most recently with the Keto diet, the...

Let's start with a harsh truth. → You are only as strong as your ability to recover. This goes for both your health and your business. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are, or how hard you can push it in the boardroom. If you can't effectively recover after intense periods of pushing it, then your progress will never reach its potential. So, knowing this, I'm going to discuss one of the key factors behind recovery... Is This The Key Behind Excellent Recovery? If you're in the...
