## Resource

I'm joined today by the chief operating officer at Genistar - one of the fastest growing financial services companies in the UK - Michael Cody. But you're not going to hear us talking about financial services, or even his role as a COO, but you are going to hear about his incredible transformation over the last few years. At the end of 2020 Michael weighed over 32 stone - that's 451 pounds or 204 kg and a BMI of over 60. Today he weighs under 18 stone, having lost - or as he puts it - 'released' - over 14 stone which is just about how much I weigh and I'm not particularly light. The real gold in this conversation isn't the mechanics by which Michael achieved this, but the mindset he has adopted that has allowed him to be so consistent. We talk about identity and beliefs, the way you speak to yourself, self-compassion, being intentional, self-leadership and sovereignty, the importance of your environment, and designing systems into your life that allow you to succeed. Michael shares the impact that this has had on so many areas of his life, and of course I ask him about his energy and how he feels since adopting new habits and upgrading his life systems. This interview is packed with wisdom and inspiration and yes, some of the actual changes that Michael made in order to lose the weight but that really is secondary to the deeper inner work that I hope this inspires for you as well. You may not be on a weight loss journey but the principles of mindset changes when you embark on any major goal are relevant regardless of the context.
