Ep087 – Jay Worthy, Group CEO, MyZone | Creating momentum & motivation in the fitness market | SATT

About this episode

Jay Worthy shares his journey from burnout to leadership in the fitness industry.

This week we meet Jay Worthy, Group CEO of MyZone, who takes us on a remarkable journey - from sofa-surfing in London after trying out for the Royal Marines, to running a billion-dollar fitness equipment business, to hitting rock bottom with burnout. This wonderful episode has everything. He shares how nature healed him, why he walked away from the corporate jet lifestyle, and how he rebuilt himself as a leader with what he calls a "SustainableOS." A raw, honest conversation about identity, recovery, and what it really means to lead well. The SATT Team :) #podcast #business #swimagainstthetide #growth #entrepreneurship
