Today’s episode is a hard one. But it’s also one of the most important I’ve ever recorded.
Stuart Barnes — one of our original Brotherhood members — is spending his final days in a Macmillan centre after a year-long battle with cancer. He’s been with us for five years. A warrior. A father. A man of integrity.
In the face of terminal illness, Stu showed more courage, conviction, and perspective than most will show in a lifetime.
He’s reminded us of one powerful truth:
99% of the things we stress about don’t matter. The 1% that does — our time, presence, family, health — that’s where our energy must go.
In this episode, I reflect on:
-
The lessons Stu’s taught us over the past year
-
How his courage reframed our day-to-day perspective
-
Why we’re dedicating an annual half-marathon in his name
-
And why you must stop wasting time on the things that don’t matter
This episode is about legacy, clarity, and making sure that when your time comes — you know you lived well.
