Cancer brought out the worst in me.

And for all the good I share about my Cancer journey, there was a dark side.

Yes, I shared about all of the silver linings that made me "better" for going through this. But it also brought many of my dark traits to the surface.

The impatience at times when I was tired, stressed, and not feeling my best.
Indecisiveness and sometimes rash decision-making. And while it's medically related, I was trying to overcompensate when my energy was too low by pushing myself past my limits.

And the worst, being short-tempered. There is no excuse. 

Not even Cancer.

It brought out my worst. Bad. And I took it out on those closest to me.

The loss of short-term memory (not counting the results of my college years) certainly exacerbated many of these traits. 

Yes, to an extent, and I do give myself some grace, but this is not who I am or want to be.

I am a Work In Progress. Aren't we all?

And I am taking the steps to improve and getting the help that I need so that I can be the best version of myself, for them, those who matter most to me.

So I urge two things

1. When you are going through something traumatic, try to find those moments of clarity and self-reflection to ask yourself, "even while I am dealing with this $hit, am I still really trying to be my best self?

2. If not, find whatever help is necessary to get as close to center as possible.

You owe it to yourself. You owe it to them.

Whose shoulders do you stand upon?

Who steered you in the right direction with mentorship, tough love and opened up doors for you?

And how do you honor them?

The best way is by proving them RIGHT for believing in you.

I was incredibly lucky to attend the Wurman Shoulders Weekend here in Miami the past couple of days (thanks, Chris 🫶 Adamo), where I experienced a "conference" like no other.

If the name "Wurman" rings a bell, that's Richard Saul Wurman, aka the Founder of TED Conferences. "Legend" isnt even close to an appropriate title.
Since 1984, he has curated real conversations with a cross-section of luminaries and defined "curiosity."

At the age of 90 he continues to reinvent what a "conference" could be. I went in with zero expectations aside from knowing the speaker lineup (link below) and that I would be a sponge to absorb their wisdom.

The theme was "shoulders"- with each guest being paired up with another and prompted by Richard to share who and how influenced them and their success. 

It was magic. It was organic. It was from the heart and soul. 

It was inspirational.  

It was intentional.

Full of intellect, deep conversations, connections, and warmth. 

Now its my job to implement the learnings into all aspects of my life as I define this next chapter in my life and career. 

My brain is percolating with possibilities and optimism. ✅

The bar has been raised!

"Contgrats on your engagement!!!", I said.

*then I immediately ran downstairs to slam my head against a wall and chain smoke an entire pack of cigarettes.

👆 That's just part of the story behind "my craziest deal collapse" ever!

We all have them as recruiters, it comes with the territory. We take a lot more L's than W's and its just part of the business. 

But its about HOW you recover and move forward after! 

My recruiting mentor told me that you can be mad AF all day until you wake up the next morning, then MOVE ON. Because there is nothing you can do about it!

I took that to heart (or at least tried to!)

I sat down with my man Jordan Gaspari, founder of Exclusent, Inc. on episode 485 of #thePOZcast#thePOZcast where we unpacked his journey and war stories.

This is a good one folks! 

* If you’re in the people business, this one will hit different.

❌ Stop hiring for “culture fit.” ❌

Seriously.

On episode #486 of #thePOZcast, Kelly McGinnis drops a take every hiring manager needs to hear:

“I never hire for 100% perfect cultural fit… because it’s kind of bullshit.”

Why?

Because perfect fit creates groupthink.

👉 And groupthink kills innovation, growth, and the future.

What you actually want:

 ✅ Values alignment
 ✅ Diversity of mindset
 ✅ People who challenge you, not just echo you

As Kelly puts it, leaders who only surround themselves with “yes people” aren’t building teams… they’re protecting their own comfort.

And that’s just one of the many mic-drop moments in this episode.

In this conversation, Kelly, President of Business Operations at Thermo Fisher Scientific,  breaks down: ↴

→ Why hiring for values beats culture fit every time
→ The myth of the 100-hour workweek
→ What “mental marination” really means for better decisions
→ How trust and delegation unlock real scale
→ Why success isn’t about titles, it’s about legacy

This episode is a masterclass in modern leadership, blending sharp strategy with a deeply human perspective.

If you’re a founder, hiring manager, or leader trying to build teams that actually move the business forward (without burning everyone out)… this one’s for you.

I Help Time-Poor Entrepreneurs and C-Suite Execs Transform their Health

I help male CEOs (business owners) over 50 become calm, strong, energised & in control—without living in the gym, following fads, or relying on willpower that disappears the moment travel and pressure hit.

If business is thriving but your energy, waistline, sleep, or bloodwork are sliding, this is built for you.

Each month, my team and I take on a small number of CEOs (business owners) over 50 (and, where relevant, their senior leadership teams) inside our signature 16‑Week CEO Health Reset (formerly Rapid Result System™). It’s a boardroom-friendly approach designed to survive real schedules—and stick.

Why CEOs (business owners) join us (and why they stay)

→ Favourite business shirts/jackets no longer fit
→ Energy is too low for business, training, and family
→ Persistent worry about long-term health, bloodwork, and heart risk
→ Feeling burnt out—success coming at too high a personal cost
→ A body that feels inflamed, stiff, or out of shape
→ You’ve tried apps, trainers, diets… and it never survived your schedule

How we work

We start with a CEO Health Diagnostic & Review, then build a simple, personalised plan around:
• Simple science nutrition (no extremes)
• High-impact training blocks (time-efficient + travel-proof)
• Accountability under pressure (so it happens during busy weeks)

We use smart tools where helpful, but the coaching is human-led and hands-on—because results at this level come from judgement, context, and execution (not generic templates).

Proof from our clients

• Mark Balaam, CEO: 3 stone lost in 10 weeks; confidence and energy back
• James Taylor, MD: off blood pressure meds; performing at a new level
• Billy Power, MD: golf pain-free; leading at full throttle again
• Tamara Gillan, CEO: 16 lbs lost in 6 weeks — sharper, leaner, and back in control

Ready for the next step?

If you’re a CEO (business owner) over 50, complete the Executive Health Diagnostic — click “Visit my website.”

From there, you can request an Executive Diagnostic Call.

All places are offered based on readiness and fit (we keep capacity intentionally limited so the coaching stays personal).

Prefer DM? Message me “RESET”, and I’ll send the Diagnostic link.

Body Transformation Vs Health Transformation

Had a great chat with the editor of a well-known London City newspaper about his health and fitness journey. 

• He's a 43-year-old busy professional.
• He has to commute to the office every day
• He has events and lunch meetings
• He has a lot on his plate

He described to me his previous efforts to get in shape.

Over the years, he had been through 2 body transformation programmes with well-known (very good) London-based personal trainers.

He shared his before and after shots; he looked incredible.

But here he was talking to me about his desire to run through a third body transformation programme.

We chatted for a while about his goals, his commute, and his business responsibilities. 

It became clear that the idea of stripping fat, bodybuilding, and dialling in his calories, all for the goal of creating before-and-after shots, wasn't as appealing as it once was.

As we get older, our health goals shift.

We want to be around for our kids, we want to keep doing the things we love, we want to avoid BIG health issues, and we want to be at the top of our business game for the long haul. 

Here's how mine have changed

👉 I used to care about big biceps, now I care about my VO2 Max
👉 I used to care about flat abs, now I care about optimal sleep
👉 I used to care about protein supplements, now I care about energy
👉 I used to care about sprint speed, now I care about general strength

It's January 2026, and the pressure to lose weight and 'get healthy' is at its peak.

You're being bombarded by body transformation offers, Jane Plan, Professor Tim Spector, Herbalife, food delivery and Dry Jane apps.

All of these solutions have their place, but ask yourself, "Are they going to help me achieve my short-term goals and allow me to maintain them forever despite my crazy business schedule?"

Join me this Friday, 9th January 2026, 1:30 pm for my live online workshop, where I'll walk you through our 5-step process.

My goal is to show you the foundations of health so that you can build your own health programme, or at least explore options with more understanding of what will work for you

This is an interactive workshop, and I want to answer any questions that come up, so I'm keeping the group small. There are 2 spaces available.
