This week on JobsWorth I sit down with Louis Rennocks, fitness entrepreneur, founder of MyBodyMentor and dad of three.

Louis grew up wanting to be famous. Not necessarily for anything in particular… he just wanted a different life from the one he knew.

That ambition eventually led him into the fitness industry, where he became a Master Trainer and Head of Events at Barry's, before launching Grindhouse with four fellow trainers during the pandemic.

Grindhouse got off to an extraordinary start, generating £108,000 in its first week and securing £1.8 million in investment. But what initially looked like the opportunity of a lifetime eventually became a business that Louis and his co-founders couldn't sustain.

We discuss the reality behind those numbers, the pressure of raising investment, what went wrong and how Louis approached rebuilding his career with MyBodyMentor.

Along the way, we talk about being difficult to manage, his relationship with money, the impact of therapy, fatherhood and the responsibility of running a business that supports your family.

And perhaps most importantly, why the things Louis once thought would make him successful aren't necessarily the things that matter most to him now.

Please enjoy… Louis Rennocks.
