As much as we talk about company building and technology trends on this podcast, one of the most essential aspects of entrepreneurship is maintaining your health. High performance comes first form taking care of your body, mind, and lifestyle to drive clear decision making.
Ben Canning is the Founder of We Hack Health and a trainer to founders & employees across the tech and cybersecurity ecosystem. He has coached many high performers in their jobs and helped them improve even further by focusing on their health. In this episode, we talk about common concerns and blockers that Ben sees amongst various clients. We dive into the four pillars of health (Sleep, Mental Health, Nutrition, and Fitness) and Ben’s basic tactics to approach each of them in a sustainable manner. Ben provides a tactical roadmap to how to approach a sustainable healthy lifestyle and how so much relies on having a mindset to continue to do hard things.
