Whether you're an aspiring triathlete, a weekend warrior, or someone searching for purpose and confidence, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you take the first step and keep moving forward. Key Takeaways Stuart’s childhood disappointment failing his first black belt grading became the catalyst for resilience, discipline, and future championships. Curiosity is enough to begin. Action creates clarity, momentum, and confidence over time. Your “why” becomes the anchor on tough days. You don’t always need to know it upfront, but it becomes essential during low-motivation moments. Stuart breaks down how hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious to rewrite unhelpful patterns and strengthen mental resilience. Coaches, mentors, and supportive communities accelerate transformation. Help is a strength, not a weakness. Tiny successes — like learning to clip into a bike or finishing a small race — create confidence cascades that change lives.
