"Design an environment around you that makes it impossible not to make the progress you want to make - the people we spend time with, the books we read, the podcasts we listen to, what we watch, the physical spaces we spend time in - all of these influences our journey in life. "

In this episode of Decontextualized Podcast, Natalia Rachel is joined by Simon Alexander Ong, bestselling author of 'Energized: Make the Most of Every Moment', international keynote speaker and award-winning life coach. His work has seen him invited onto Sky News and BBC to be interviewed, while he has been featured in the likes of Forbes and Harvard Business Review. He has spoken at some of the planet's most successful organisations such as Barclays, Salesforces, Adobe, EY and Microsoft. And his debut book Energize, published by Penguin in 2022 became an instant bestseller, receiving endorsements from the likes of New York Times bestselling authors Simon Sinek, Marie Forleo and Marshall Goldsmith. In 2023, Energize was also awarded Book of the Year within the Wellness & Wellbeing category at The Business Book Awards.
