Which 3 people, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party and why?

Roger Federer - I'd like to find out how he makes something so gruelling look so elegant!
My Dad - he passed away 6 years ago, I miss him and wish he could see his grandchildren growing up
What inspired you to want to help people through their transformations?
Two things; first, a conversation with my late father. I was busy applying for all the standard graduate training programmes with banks and large corporates and he said to me “can you really see yourself following that path for the rest of your life? Haven't you just spent 3 years (subtext: and my money!) studying exercise and health?”. Having taken the hint, what I saw in the health and fitness industry wasn't working.This is when I knew we had to do things differently
Why are you proud to be a part of Motus?
I'm proud to do something that matters and that has a lasting impact on people's lives, and those around them
