2020 marks ten years as a coach, and ten years since I first had the idea of writing a book one day. To see it come to fruition is a special moment, and one I whole-heartedly know wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support team I have around me. This book, Transform Your Body Transform Your Life, is not only my creation.
In this two-part series, I want to dive into why and how I wrote this book, which I’ve also recorded as a combined podcast you can listen to here:

My Personal Why
“All I can think about right now is writing this book.”
So I set my challenge for the final quarter to write the first draft of the book. I was well into my goal of #12in12 countries to visit in 2019, and thought it was a good idea to tie writing the book with another trip. I had my sights set on some obscure location in Vietnam to lock myself away and write. But then the shoot happened, I’d travelled around the US for 2 weeks, and the appeal of travelling beyond 10 trips in the years fizzled out. I just wanted to write.
Transform Your Body Transform Your Life was written to mark the start of a paradigm shift.
Why Our Industry Needs This Book
term change into a long-term transformation?
The why behind my why goes deeper, and links closely to my experiences in bodybuilding and as a personal trainer. In fact, when I reflect on my first ten years in this industry, it’s a tale of two parts.
