Today Iβm fitter than ever, compete in competitions covering a wide range of sports and have great fun doing so. However, I donβt take any of it too seriously and believe in a balanced lifestyle. My aim is not to be the best, but simply enjoy what I do and try to perform (a little) above average. Since 2022, making videos and recording podcasts has become my full-time job, and it's amazing to be able to make a living entertaining and motivating others. You donβt need to copy me or do what I doβ¦just watch, enjoy, laugh, and get on track to your own success. Entrepreneurs Minute is my weekly newsletter.
