🧐 If your family copied you perfectly…


Hello Reader,

News of the Week

This morning I signed off on IGNITE with my intention set for the year...

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”

~ John C. Maxwell, leadership author and speaker

28 Days. 5 Critical Tasks. 1 Standard.

This Ignite... I actively burned 8240kcal over the past 4 weeks.

I ran, I lifted iron, I did HIIT Circuits, I hiked, I walked, I swam and I did Yoga.

I drank lots of water.

I read daily. I ate real food. And I shared my progress daily with my community.

I also moved towns... packed and unpacked.

I Worked away.

I stayed present in my family, and continued moving the needle forward in life and business.

I know the year ahead, 2026, will be filled with many obstacles...

Work, Family. Kids. Bills. Life.

But with this Foundation set, I have the tools to navigate all that life throws at me.!

You see, my friend... Your daily habits, with the right intention, becomes the reflection of one thing:

Your standards.

So here’s a hard question:

If your family, community and friends copied you perfectly, would your circle of influence grow positively or negatively?

Would they:

  • Get fitter?
  • Eat better?
  • Think bigger?
  • Elevate their lil empires?

Your family... your partner, your kids, your friends and co-workers. They are waiting for the next version of you.

The one who:

Sets Intentions clearly
Keeps promises relentlessly
Raises standards publicly
Leads when no one claps

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s a behaviour.

And the best way to lead is to lead by example...

Upgrade that and everything upgrades with it.


Change your relationship... with your fitness, family and relationships. Come join us as we sweat together over 4 weeks in February, a Steedfit and RBFit collaboration, exclusive for our community members.

Ready to Elevate Your Empire?

We begin on 2 February 2026.

Recipe of the Week

MAPLE BACON SALMON

Serves 6

For the salmon:

1 lemon, sliced

2.2 lbs. (1kg) skin

on salmon

filet

salt & pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

⅓ cup (80ml) olive oil

2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp. maple syrup

3 tbsp. chopped chives, for garnish

For the candied bacon:

3 tbsp. maple syrup

1 tbsp. coconut sugar

salt & pepper

6 slices bacon

What you need to do

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

Place lemon slices on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the salmon filet on top of the

lemon slices and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, maple

syrup and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the salmon.

Roast the salmon in the hot oven until cooked through and it flakes easily with a fork,

roughly 20-25 minutes. Now turn the oven to broil and broil until golden, about 3

minutes.

Meanwhile, make the candied bacon. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple

syrup, coconut sugar and season with salt and black pepper.

In a large skillet over a medium heat, cook the bacon until lightly golden on both

sides, about 4 minutes per side. Drain off the fat from the bacon.

Place the skillet back over a medium heat and pour in the maple syrup mixture. Add

the bacon back into the skillet and cook, turning the slices frequently until the liquid is

almost absorbed and the bacon is glazed. This will take roughly 3-4 minutes.

Using tongs, carefully transfer the bacon to a work surface to cool completely. Once

cool, crumble the bacon.

Serve the salmon filet with the maple bacon crumb and chives sprinkled over the top.

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This week I walked into the gym and the squat racks were gone. Smith machines? Gone. Half the floor ripped up. Renovation. The gym is upgrading. And it hit me… When was the last time you upgraded yourself?

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This week I was busy AF!!! Last Monday, after a full day on site, I didn’t want to workout because I quite literally was “too busy” I got home later than normal, and instead of cracking open a beer and slouching on the couch, I got moving with my boys instead… After that session I asked myself a question: Why has “being busy" become some sort of bragging right? It should embarrass us...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week Some parents think leadership is a title… It's actually not! You're born a leader whether you "sign up" to be one or not. If someone can observe you... You are leading, Especially if you have kids. How you speak to them. How you handle stressful situations. How you react when they make a mess. How you handle changes in life. How you handle job loss How you take care of your body....
