Russell Johnson is a Managing Director working in the financial services industry in the middle of a global financial crisis.

His company, Sonray Capital Markets, has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast and employs 65 people nationally.

Russell’s company deals in markets globally, which means it’s a 24 hour, seven days a week business.

In addition to running the company during the day Russell is often working in the middle of the night, to meet the needs of the business, which operates in different time zones across the world.

Stress and time mangagement are Russell’s challenges. By Saturday of each week Russell is sleep deprived and burnt out, which impacts on the time he spends with his family, wife Jill and two children.

Long work hours and stress have also taken their toll on Russell’s overall health including his eating habits and exercise regime (which is non-existent).

Paul Taylor, Body and Brain Overhaul presenter, says Russell’s lifestyle is rotting him from the inside.

‘I want to overhaul Russell to make him an ‘executive athlete’ – someone who works more efficiently and effectively by training their body and their brain.’
