Simon Alexander Ong: he’s an international keynote speaker, award winning coach, and the author of the, Energize: Make the most of every moment, which was the winner of the 2023 Business Book Award for Wellness and Wellbeing.

Your energy is everything: it’s not only what gets you out of bed in the morning but it’s also the fuel that drives your success and gives you the physical and mental power to achieve your potential. So how can you be your best self if you're always tired, stressed and burnt out?

The book has received personal praise from a number of well-known names, including New York Times bestselling authors Marie Forleo and Simon Sinek, and it is packed with so much value in each chapter. And I can say that with certainty, because I’ve read it myself.

In this episode, Simon allowed me to unpack the turbulent journey, both in his personal and his professional life, that kick started his journey to what he’s achieved to date.
