What are the most common mistakes you
see people making when dieting/trying to
lose weight?

day become enough, but right now things are
going well. I may be looking like Moses by the
time I figure this whole thing out.

dear to my heart, so I enjoy just listening and
lying in the grass. I even create my own
music…it’s another one of my outlets.

Wanting it to happen too fast and having
unrealistic expectations due to magazines and
TV. Look at yourself in the mirror and have a very
honest chat with YOU. It’s important to make
reality and expectations run parallel. At the end
of the day it’s about living well, feeling good and
being involved in life.

You're a patron for Kent-based charity HOOP
(Helping Overcome Obesity Problems). Tell
us about this charity and your involvement.

We've seen you on Sky TV and recently Daybreak.
Will we be seeing you on our TV screens again
soon?

HOOP is a great resource for those who are
looking for solutions. It’s a support group which
is there 24/7 for its members. I have a lot of
messages from people asking for help and I get
frustrated that I cannot do anything; but now that
I am involved with HOOP I am able to direct them
to the group so they can get some support and
signposting. It’s a privilege to support HOOP.
They do great work. We support each other
really. It’s a great relationship.

Maybe….You never know with the TV biz.

So many peo ple are yo-yo dieters and their
weight goes up and down throughout life.
What are your tips to end this cycle?
What happens when the ‘diet’ stops? Food is
just a part of life, not something to put too much
pressure around. If you want to explore a different
way of eating, go for it, but come back to the
way of life, the way of eating that serves you. Don’t
get caught up in chasing the next best things.
You currently travel between Toronto, LA and
the UK. Do you plan on continuing your jetset lifestyle, or do you see yourself settling
down in any one of those places?
Yes, I travel a lot. When I first started the jet-set
lifestyle it was exciting, but you soon realise how
un-grounding it can be. I’ve acquired quite a few
grey facial hairs over the past three years through
my travels, but also some great relationships and
experiences. Right now my family and I are making
it work, but it can’t last forever. Enough will one

How do you enjoy spending your time when
you're not working?
Romantic dinners (good Italian) with my wife. My
son is pure joy for me. I can have chaos going
on all around me: contracts pending, deadlines,
pressures from getting my business started –
but he keeps me on the ground and reminds me
what it’s really all about. He’s a constant reminder
that nothing is really that big of a deal, so our
outings are a must for my sanity; I’m a lucky dad
and husband. I also love exercising – I like getting
into my routine, going to the park, running with
some good tunes, getting into nature, hangin’
with the boys and talking about life and how we
can change the world. Music is something I hold
