In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with elite performance coach Dan Lawrence — the man behind some of the world’s top athletes and executives, including boxer Conor Benn. From his roots in London to building a thriving high-performance business in Dubai, Dan reveals what it really takes to operate at the highest level — not just in sport, but in business and life.

He shares the frameworks and systems that drive elite results: the four pillars of performance (training, nutrition, recovery, mindset), how to design your environment for success, and why clarity of vision and resilience matter more than motivation. This conversation is a masterclass in discipline, structure, and unlocking your next level — brick by brick, day by day.

💬 “The standard you walk past is your new standard. Consistency isn’t sexy, but it’s the secret.” — Dan Lawrence
