This week on the show Michael is joined by Andy Tait aka Coach Taiters. Andy was in a bad place in his late teens, recently separated from his girlfriend, overweight and lacking any self confidence. But, through studying the world of fitness and nutrition and making a dedicated effort Andy has managed to turn his life around. He now lives in Canada with his wife and two children and runs his own personal training business. Tune in and let Andy talk you through his incredible journey and share with you some great advice on how you can achieve your goals.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When Andy was 20 he described himself as “chubby”. After his relationship ended his self confidence was at rock bottom, that was the moment he asked himself “How did I get here?” and that was the beginning of his fitness journey.
What gets measured gets managed. Coach Tait explains that accountability is the thing most his clients look for. He works with his clients to measure their progress and hold them accountable to it.
Coach Tait talks about how fitness helps build mental resilience, accountability and skills around tracking progress which are invaluable tools that can be transferred to entrepreneurship.
Coach Tait talks about the crossover between his family and his business. How part of his brand is being a family man and how his wife is his first port of call when he needs advice and guidance.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Andy Tait aka “Coach Taiters” found himself in a bad place both physically and mentally. He was coming out of an unhappy relationship, he didn’t do any exercise, and he was turning to food for comfort.
He realised that he needed to do something to regain control of his health. However, at this point in his life, he wasn’t a personal trainer, he didn’t have a nutrition certification, and he had no idea where to start.
He jumped around from diet to diet because he didn’t understand the principles of sustainable weight loss. So despite his efforts, he was on an unsuccessful journey because he got caught up in the over-restrict and over-consume cycle.
With the knowledge he has now, he could have saved himself years of frustration, and could have gained the physique and fulfilment he has today i
