Gratitude, Growth, and the Gift of Doing What I Love

As a kid growing up in Brighton, England, I never imagined my path would take me to sunny Southern California or lead me to work alongside some of the world’s smartest and most innovative founders.

Even now, some days I still can’t believe this is my work.

I get to spend my life studying what fascinates me most: human behaviour.

Why do we do what we do?
What drives performance?
What unlocks fulfillment?
And most importantly, how can we do both at the same time?

Not just grind harder.
Not just feel better.
But become more effective, more fulfilled, and more whole.

That’s the high-performance sweet spot I’m obsessed with.

Over the years, I’ve coached Olympic athletes, elite performers, and brilliant founders—and the pattern is always the same: we don’t grow just by pushing harder. We grow by understanding ourselves better.

And the more I learn, the more deeply I love this work.

I feel unbelievably lucky and grateful to do what I do. To have conversations every day that change people’s lives. To witness those quiet but profound shifts:

  • The moment someone sees themselves clearly.

  • The click when they realise they’ve been playing small.

  • The fire that lights up when they move from reacting to choosing.

This isn’t just a career for me.

It’s a calling.
A lifelong obsession.
A front-row seat to human transformation.

If you’re still searching for that thing that lights you up, keep going.
If you’ve found it, protect it fiercely and savor every moment.
And if you’ve forgotten what it feels like, maybe it’s time to remember.

Here’s to work that matters.
Here’s to becoming more fully ourselves.
And here’s to helping others do the same.
