Wellness

I plan to live to 100—yeah, I said it. I’ve got too much left on the list to check out early.

Wellness has never been a side project for me — it has always been the foundation. Drawing on years of athletic coaching, personal practice, and working with leaders under pressure, I write honestly about what it means to be well in body, mind, and in the way you show up for others. No quick fixes, no trends — just real perspectives on living and leading with intention.

LIVING TO 100

When I say I plan to live to 100, I don’t mean just getting there—I mean living well. Staying strong, mobile, and fully engaged. Because if that’s not the goal, then what are we really doing?

Don’t get me wrong—I still enjoy life. I eat, I drink, I have fun. But my health is a priority.

Sleep is non-negotiable. I treat it like a competition with myself. Recovery matters—for both my body and my mind. My routine is simple: asleep by 10:00 PM, up at 5:30 AM.

The next non-negotiable is exercise. It evolves over time, but the commitment doesn’t. I set weekly targets that challenge me, and I do what it takes to hit them. I prioritize it.

Everyone has their own challenges. Everyone is busy. But everyone can make a conscious choice to take care of their health.

When I’m in my 70s, I plan to still be active, mobile, and moving well. I hope you will be too.

And for that mindset—thank you, Dad, for setting the example.

COMPETITION

I love to compete. As a kid, I was always involved in sports, but somewhere along the way, I lost that competitive edge. It wasn’t until my mid-30s in Shanghai that I found it again.

It started with competitive beach volleyball at The Bund Beach—but things really took off when I discovered Spartan Racing and hybrid training. That’s when it clicked. The competition, the “what ifs,” the camaraderie—I was all in. I loved every minute of it, and it marked a turning point in my fitness.

I became a founding member of Temporary Humans in China, built my own community in Chongqing, and eventually brought in a coach to push myself further.

For the next few years, my life revolved around one thing: getting faster, fitter, and stronger.

I still love racing—trail, hybrid, Spartan, whatever it is. For me, it’s not just a sport; it’s a mindset. And it’s something I never plan to give up.
