Welcome to the Lifestyle Engineer podcast, hosted by Matt Chenard. If you’ve been searching for a sign to try something new, to challenge your boundaries, or to find a unique way to enhance mental and physical well-being, this episode might just be the nudge you need.  

This episode highlights the journey of Marcus Charman, a Brighton native, now residing in the West of England. Marcus opens up about his life-altering experience with cold exposure and its profound impact on his mental and physical well-being.

From grappling with feelings of isolation and depression after relocating to a remote area during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcus speaks candidly about his search for remedies. The usual fixes – counseling and nature immersion, couldn’t offer the healing he yearned for. Then a breakthrough came in the unlikely form of cold exposure.

Marcus shares an inspiring encounter with Luke Mochee, an ice bath guru in the UK, and the exhilarating experience of his first ice bath. In Marcus's words, the cold exposure felt "clean, mentally cleansed" and he likens it to a system reset.

Listen in as Marcus chronicles the initial apprehension, the dramatic first plunge, and the cathartic feeling of shedding anxieties and fears in those icy depths. 

This episode is not just about braving the cold but also about braving life's challenges.

Matt Chenard, a fellow advocate for optimizing both personal lives and businesses, ties in Marcus’s story with insights on consistency, resilience, and balance – core tenets of entrepreneurship and personal growth.

Tune in, get inspired, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself contemplating a cold shower tomorrow morning. Dive into the world of cold exposure and discover the power within.

Drawing from his own experiences, Matt unveils the concept of the 'Entrepreneurial Blueprint' - a strategic framework designed for entrepreneurs to create impactful solutions and add value while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

He delves into the FIT-5 investing system, a holistic approach encompassing mental, physical, spiritual, relational, and professional growth. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone striving for excellence in all life areas.

In this episode I meet Sach Latti who was recently coined by those close to him as the “Canadian David Goggins.” Sach depicts his battle with depression and anxiety and how a divorce coupled with the pandemic severely worsened his mental health and how in that moment he chose to run. 

What started out as physically running to escape mental and emotional turmoil, resulted in then running marathons, which then turned into the goal of being the fastest man to  run across all of Canada. Throughout his journey thus far Sach has also realized the running is not about selfish gain but as a means to an end. He’s been able to engineer his training, social media, sponsorships, notoriety and fundraising efforts to help inspire and impact people around the world as well as local charities.
