I met this week's guest - fitness entrepreneur Madeleine Chu - in my gym and she quickly became a favourite trainer of mine and we discovered that we share many similarities - from both being mixed Cantonese-Caucasians to our entrepreneurial spirit and to us both having lost our dad.

Tune in to the episode and learn…

  • How an injury became her lucky escape from her dream of becoming a ballerina

  • Her journey to becoming a sports entrepreneur

  • What it felt like growing up in a small town in the UK as mixed Caucasian and Cantonese

  • The turnover time of baking organic doughnuts

  • How there's a lesson in every moment of sadness

  • How she took time out for herself and received bad news which put her on a completely different path in life

  • How her dad's death changed her life and perspective

  • Lessons from dealing with loss
