Get a roll on

I’m always in the gym. That’s lifting weights. But for me, you can’t really switch off when you’re doing that. So, I also do jiu-jitsu. It’s hard to think about business when someone’s trying to choke you out. It’s very humbling as well – that’s why I like it.

Going to the gym has always been a part of my life. I [also] love going on walks and hanging out with friends and family. I have two little sisters, and I’m very close with my family. Hanging out with them puts me in a great mood.

I have a personal coach. Coaching is part of my daily routine.

I’m also a man of regimen. I’m up at 4am working, exercising, or journalling, and before anyone else in the house gets up, I’ve already ticked 10 or 15 things off my list.
