Unknown Frontier

MIND
Do, or Do Not

Business is a mental marathon, but sometimes the real sprint happens in the quiet moments when you let your mind wander. This week, in the mix of strategy sessions and boardroom meetings, I took some time to reflect on how our choices shape our destiny.

I realised that clinging to outdated dreams can hold us back from truly experiencing life. Instead, why not embrace the unknown and let curiosity lead the way?

I’ve always been about pushing boundaries.

On a side-note: I was once doing a talk at the University of Northampton when a young entrepreneur whispered his “top secret” idea to me? Years later, I bumped into him again, and his project was still floating in limbo. It’s a reminder that timing, focus, and a willingness to let go of old visions are the keys to breaking limits.

I’ve done just that with my own life, trading the conventional for a future filled with exploration and possibility… keep ya posted.

BODY
Waking Up the Warrior

I’m a firm believer in starting the day with a bit of movement.

My mornings are sacred: I jump out of bed (after a few gentle stretches, of course - duh I am 34 bruh), do a quick bodyweight routine;

some push-ups,
planks,
a few stretches to shake off the sleep
and then down a big glass of water.

(I take my heights vitamins and contemplating adding the mushroom gummies in next… I’ll let you know)

It’s my simple way of telling my body, “lets go” (Like Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds) and remember: no screens for an hour before bed and the first hour after waking - trust me, your brain will thank you.

This ritual isn’t just about fitness, it’s about grounding myself for the day, clearing the mental fog so I can dive deep into whatever challenges come my way and burn the energy off… If you’ve met me, you know, I have this weird natural source of energy… 247, that even drives me up the wall! As I pace past familiar faces but don’t stop to chat, they go “meep, meep.” (Road runner reference).

EXPLORATION
“Don’t look up!”

My internet kept bombarding me with talk about a massive asteroid heading for Earth in seven years… Now, normally that might set off the panic alarms, but I prefer to see the humour in it. If a giant rock decides to crash our party, well! It’s a reminder that some things are simply beyond our control.

Stress often comes from trying to manage the uncontrollable.

Focus on what you can control.

And honestly, if that asteroid does show up, I hope the government and the press have sorted a plan, until then, I’m just going to keep wondering the meaning of life…

Oh, I almost forgot, here’s the “risk zone”

Oh and p.s p.s the chances of it striking are 3.2%

CHALLENGE
Breaking the T code…

After tackling sugar (which, by the way, I feel like I’ve nailed), I’m setting my next challenge: cutting down my tea intake. Not tea itself, just the sheer volume of it.

Here’s the deal—I’ll have one tea in the morning before I leave the house, and water from there on out. Until I can regulate this addiction (because let’s be honest, it is an addiction).

The funny thing? I never even drank tea when I first moved to the UK. Growing up in Spain, it made no sense to have hot drinks in that heat. And even after nearly a decade in England, I still didn’t get it. Then one winter day, freezing my arse off, I finally caved—maybe I really am here for the long haul. Tea became my survival mechanism. And now? One to two cups per hour during my workday. That’s craaaaaazyy.

I tried two days without it and, let me tell you, the dependency headache was real. I practically sprinted to the kettle to make it stop.

So, this is my challenge for February and March—reining it in. One morning tea, then water. I’ll keep you posted… if I survive. 😉
