If you speak with any successful person they’ll often tell you of daily habits they do consistently, on repeat and swear by them.  Day in and day out, no matter what the day looks like, these little non-negotiables are practiced religiously - rain, hail or shine. One of those that...

It’s okay to not be okay has become a catchy phrase of no judgement that people have really used to reinforce acceptance and empathy towards mental health in recent years. While I love that this cultural shift has been more evident in people’s belief system, values and their social media...

I had a chat to Amal this morning about discipline and it got me thinking.. I really think it’s something that’s often so overlooked on any pursuit whether that be health and fitness, a new business or even just work ethic. Discipline is not only a fuel but a glue.....

When I think back to decisions in life I’ve made with and without thinking there’s definitely been a mixed bag of results in the outcomes of both. On the one hand some of the biggest decisions I’ve made ie leaving jobs, changing careers, moving houses, break ups etc have almost...

I started reading a new book this week called ‘The Courage to be Disliked’ - it’s been a grouse read so far, hopefully I’ll bowl it over this weekend but I can already tell it’ll be on my favorites list for sure. It essentially follows an illuminating conversation between a...

So I feel lost. Since I’ve been in business I’ve always been the type of person that will deal with the immediate and will let future Jade problems be packed away for only when it needs to be addressed. Unlike Amal, my business partner, I am not massive on planning...

Yesterday was one that went down in the history books for me. You might remember from my last blog my brother Blake and I set out to complete the calendar club running the number of kilometers to the date for the whole month of February.  In 28 days I ran...

So this month I committed to a crazy challenge. At the start of the month I thought it would be tough but not nearly as mentally and physically taxing as it has been.  I’m doing the ‘Calendar Club’ which is where you run the amount of kilometres or miles to...

It's a rhythm that not everyone can move to the beat of... that is, the tune of our own step.  How many times have you looked in the mirror and disliked what you saw? How many times have you poked, prodded and critiqued your appearance? How many times do you...

I think to pick life in the fast lane you have to be ready for non-conventional, high frequency, surprises and turbulence - pretty much around the clock.  I took a bit of time over Christmas and the New Year though to put the blinkers on and change lanes for a...

I had a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday going through a break up. He was telling me about the straw that broke the camels back and the crux of the issue. Aside from the classic reason of ‘just growing apart’ he was saying that his partner had the...

Welcome to 2021. Today is my first day back in the office after a 2 week break over the festive season. I got super comfortable with seeing my family around the clock, having fresh seafood most nights and my hardest weekly choice being about what new book to read. There’s...

'I walk out of this office every day at 5:30 so I’m home for dinner with my kids at 6:00, and interestingly, I’ve been doing that since I had kids. I did that when I was at Google, I did that here, and I would say it’s not until the...

Are you someone that vows to start each new month, new week, new day with the highest of hopes and aim to achieve new goals? Rarely would you want to flop out or have a total doozy period of time but let’s be honest it happens… I am a huge...

I had a really interesting conversation with a girlfriend of mine this week about happiness and working out what your ‘joy’ is. Something so simple can often be so hard to define and as a result there’s a whole lot of people - perhaps I’m even talking to you, that...

I have this saying that is very much my life motto that ‘the only way out is through’, and I truly have grown to believe that the ‘through’ becomes much more significant than the ‘out’. It’s kind of like when people tell you that you grow through what you go...

Each morning my Executive Assistant Briana (@briana.equalutionteam) phones me to run through the day and any pressing tasks I need to attend to - I know right, everyone needs a Briana in their lives. She is an angel. Each morning after we do our run through she will sign off...

So it’s a Saturday afternoon and I’ve just returned from a Barry’s Bootcamp session. For those of you who don’t know of Barry’s Bootcamp, think of the hardest workout you’ve ever done, multiply that by 5000, add gasping for air every minute on the minute and then add weak knees...

I thought I’d kick start my very first introduction to you all by rewinding it back to when Amal and I made the ballsiest move of our 20’s quitting our full time jobs at Google, deferred our degrees and taking a one way ticket to San Francisco. Whenever I tell...
