2026 has been the biggest year of my life.
Had my first child. Moved house a month before Belle was born. Business is the biggest it’s ever been. Now we’re getting ready to move again and renovate a house we bought.
Eight months of broken sleep and more responsibility than I’ve ever had.
But what a privilege.
What a privilege to have a wife and daughter who need me to provide for them and protect them.
What a privilege to come home every day to a wife and daughter who can’t wait to see me.
What a privilege to be able to set the standard for my family.
And what a privilege to show my daughter what it looks like to work hard, look after yourself, be strong, be reliable and follow through on the things you say you’re going to do.
Six years ago I came back to Tasmania during COVID with a pretty clear idea of the life I wanted to build.
I wanted my own business. I wanted freedom over my time. And I wanted to build a future where, when the time came to have a family, I had the time, freedom and resources to actually be there for them.
Looking back now, that’s probably the part I’m most proud of.
I’ve built a business that allows me to provide for my family, but also gives me the freedom to be there for the moments that matter.
The first crawl. The first steps. The first time Belle says Dad.
And every day I get to coach other men to become better versions of themselves and set a better standard for their own families.
Having a business, having kids, being busy and having people rely on you isn’t an excuse to let yourself go.
For me, it’s even more reason to stay fit, healthy, strong and capable.
Because one day Belle is going to look at how I lived my life, not just listen to what I told her.
I want her to see that it doesn’t matter how busy life gets or how much responsibility you have.
You can still chase big goals.
You can still look after yourself.
And you can still be there for your family.
Above everything else, what a privilege it is to wake up every day, breathe and get another crack at life.
