What do brokers do to unwind?

A hard workout

FOR ME, it’s definitely getting into the gym and doing a hard workout. I think if you do something hard and you put your body under a bit of physical stress, it just does something to your system. It clears your head, gets the endorphins firing. I find I’ll go to the gym and do a one-hour class and walk out and it’s almost like everything’s just clear. You’ll think, ‘Why was I worried about that? Here’s the solution to that problem that I was dwelling on for so long’.

So, no matter how busy I am, I really prioritise making time for the gym because generally speaking it’ll make me do a better job.

Long walks around the harbour

I GO for really, really long walks. I just go for a walk for two or three hours in the evenings sometimes and just get lost in the city or go for a walk around the harbour.

And also, two glasses of red wine!

Getting to the beach

I RECENTLY moved to Sydney from Canberra and being in Sydney, I’ve loved having access to the beaches. So, that’s how I de-stress and unwind. Just getting out, getting to the beach, and going for walks – that’s worked for me.

Eating healthy and cooking

STARTING THE day right is really important. So, I’m up early, go for a run. Eating healthy is really important and then, at the end of the day, winding down. I’m pretty good at switching off, I’ll go hard during the day from 7:30/8am until 6pm and then, when I get home, I love to cook dinner.

I really love being in the kitchen and cooking dinner for my wife and me. And then we will just have a bit of chill time and get to bed pretty early. I think if you get that dialled in Monday to Friday, your energy is pretty good.
