Simon’s current written work is regularly released online at HITuni.com/blog and through the HITuni courses. To listen to my first interview with Simon, click here. While we do touch on exercise and nutrition, I deliberately focus on stress management, productivity, goal setting and business in this interview. Having met Simon several times, he is a focused entrepreneur who is successful at balancing fitness, stress management and a social life with massive creative output. This is not typical with most entrepreneurs that I have come to know, who grind day and night and, in most cases, pay little attention to long term health, a social life, or other creative pursuits, etc. This episode is brought to you by Hituni.com, providers of the best online courses in high intensity training that come highly recommended by Dr Doug McGuff and Discover Strength CEO, Luke Carlson.
