Non-negotiable
My Fitness Journey
In June 2023 I admitted that I was lying to myself about my priorities and I changed everything in the blink of an eye. I now make all decisions based on them: Health, education, relationships, business. In that order. No exceptions.
Since moving to Miami I've taken more than three hundred Pilates classes, I train seven days a week, and I'm down thirty pounds. I'm in the best shape of my life in my 40s. I've never felt better. I've never been more productive. I've never worked harder.
The discipline is not subtle. I once flew into Orlando to give a keynote and was back on a plane twenty minutes after I walked off stage, because my noon Pilates class wasn't going to attend itself. A Fortune 500 CEO offered me exactly one meeting slot and it conflicted with Pilates. I said no. He wrote back, "I love Pilates," and sent five more times. He respected me more for it, and honestly, so did I. The photos here are my receipts: same guy, different priorities.
“I won't negotiate with myself.”
