He founded the business in 2006 as a one-man organisation and continues to be at the helm of a now large workforce, servicing hundreds of thousands of customers. Jay is incredibly vulnerable about his childhood battle with chronic fatigue syndrome, a situation that led him to depression and isolation, but ultimately to recovery. He is also the author of "How to Transform the Average Joe in 12 Weeks". In this episode we talk about: Being bed-ridden for 9 months to winning Australia's BodyBlitz Challenge a few years later; Why your physical capability is based on your mental capability, regardless of age; Surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you and giving them accountability; and How he has a "stop doing list" and builds that into his quarterly review process.
