Highlights
At 55, Andy still loves working and hopes to remain active for as long as his body allows, even if that eventually means reducing his schedule to three days a week. He also explains why experienced tradespeople must recognise their physical limitations rather than trying to match the pace of younger workers.
The conversation explores the importance of making time for children while they are young. Andy reflects on raising his family and explains why missing important childhood moments for work can lead to regret later in life.
Andy also shares how cycling, running and going to the gym help him switch off from business pressures, clear his mind and protect his long-term physical and mental well-being.
