My mornings are pretty intense. At 5.15am I’m up. I am pretty serious about my sleep. I’m straight to the gym. Three days a week I see a strength and conditioning coach and other days I’m at home in the gym for 45 minutes to an hour. Then I do breathing exercises for about 20 minutes. I’ve had a wellness coach, Nam Baldwin, for about 12 years. He works with Mick Fanning, the Gold Coast Suns and quite a few CEOs. I speak to him once every two weeks.
In our industry you’ve got to be pretty driven and ambitious. It’s a high-stress, high-octane industry. Most of the people in the office are pretty serious about their health. A lot of people have an Oura ring. We have a wellness room in the office and have a mindful lady we do a lot with.I drive my wife mad because she loves cooking, and food for me is very much fuel. I don’t care about food.
This is a decaf [coffee]. I only have one coffee in the morning, first thing. One January I went off it and my wife said I was being so much nicer. I’m pretty wired and intense anyway, so any stimulant like that just sends me over the edge. When I was younger, it was always about how to amp up. Now it’s how do I calm down and be steady.
There’s an amazing guy in LA who has this thing called a blueprint. Each week he gets his blood tested and knows his exact nutrients and food. In my ideal world, this would prick me in the morning and tell me what I need to eat and drink, and I would just follow it like a robot. I wear the same thing every day. Whatever can take decisions out of my mind, so I can keep my decision-making to things that are important.My mum was CEO of [charity] Berry Street.
