I grew up in beautiful Brisbane, Australia. Though for a long time, I had no idea who I was or where I was headed. I suspect the right path had been calling to me many times before—but I couldn't hear it because I wasn't listening. I was too busy 'going with the flow' which, as it turns out, is almost certainly a horrible blueprint to follow.

Toward the end of high school and the start of university, 'going with the flow' left me physically weak and mentally sick, including being held prisoner by a debilitating anxiety disorder that had a stranglehold on my life—and almost took my life.

Many of my advantages, like being born to a loving family and having a good education, left me feeling worthless and led to the conclusion that I was a malfunctioned human destined for the scrapheap.

One day, at 23 years old, that all reached a boiling point when I had a complete mental breakdown. It took a lot of soul-searching to understand what was wrong and, most importantly, how to make it right. But finally, for the first time in my life, I decided to never feel like a victim again—and to help as many people as possible to do the same.

From that moment, I began to upgrade my life in every way possible. I consumed everything I could find on peak performance, relationships, and resilience; I began writing down my goals; I got a dietitian to prepare a personalized meal plan; I stopped the late-night partying; I completely overhauled my daily routine; and I started reaching out to successful people to find out what they were doing that I wasn't.

While any true progress takes time, and there have certainly been speed bumps along the way, it wasn't long before I realized that I was creating a happy and productive life even faster than I had created a miserable and destructive one.

Finally, I began to receive—and enjoy—the health, meaning, and growth that I thought was simply not on my path. In my rock bottom moment, the seeds of Win the Day were sown.

Fast forward to today, and this mentality has become my life. Whether it's interviewing the world's most successful people, coaching the next generation of leaders, or reaching 2M+ people each month on social media, it's all to help people take agency of their life. To close the gap between their performance and their potential. To win every day.
