3 big ideas discussed in this episode:

BIG IDEA #1: Your Body Is Your First Order of Business. Low energy and poor focus drag everything down. We’ll cover how optimizing physical health translates directly into sharper leadership, better decisions, and higher performance.

BIG IDEA #2: Systems Beat Willpower Every Time. Discipline isn’t the answer—systems are. I’ll share simple, repeatable frameworks I use with clients that create structure and consistency in nutrition, fitness, and recovery without disrupting their business or family life.

BIG IDEA #3: Leading Yourself Is the Hardest and Most Important Leadership Role. Great leaders own their habits. We’ll explore how health becomes the backbone of self-leadership, and how the ripple effect of living with discipline, integrity, and intention transforms the people and culture around you.
