In this episode, I welcome Steve Faber onto the podcast.

Fifty-two, chartered surveyor, husband and dad. Two years ago he reached out after following some of my content – though, as he puts it, it took a fair bit of nagging to get him on here to talk about it.

Nothing was in crisis. A building project next to his house he had no control over, changes at work, an old injury he couldn’t shake. Individually nothing. Together, enough to have him blaming everyone else for how he felt – and then blaming himself when that didn’t help either. A bit of a moody bastard, by his own admission, after fifty years of practice at it.

He signed up anyway – and the next day had the classic wobble: have I just been turned over here? He didn’t tell a soul for six months, not even most of his friends.

Two years on, he calls it one of the best value things he’s ever done in his life. Down from 96kg to 80kg. The fittest he’s been since he was eighteen. A cold plunge he still doesn’t want to get into most mornings and gets into anyway.

But the bit he comes back to most isn’t any of that. It’s that he’s not a moody bastard anymore – his words. His relationships have improved, because he’s not carrying the weight he used to carry into every interaction. He cares about people and doesn’t have to be difficult to do it.

If any of this resonates – I can help – listen to the episode, then book a call with me:
