In this episode of RNT Fitness Radio I’m joined by RNTer Steven D’Souza, who is an executive educator, coach and keynote speaker. He has authored or co authored five books: Made in Britain, Brilliant Networking, Not Knowing, Not Doing and Not Being. Steven has been recognized by Thinkers50 on its RADAR list and was included in HR Magazine’s ‘Most Influential’ list. His work has been featured in national and international media, including Harvard Business Review, Bloomberg, The Independent, The Guardian and The Sunday Times. In this podcast, Steven and I discuss many of his books, including his most recent that I was honoured to be featured in, as well as the RNT journey he’s been on where he got into incredible condition all whilst being on a vegan diet.
"Recognise that you’re not separate from life; it’s not happening through you, it’s happening as you."
