Sports Nutritionist Podcast

Lawrence is a full-time physio. He also coaches on the side. And that side gig helped him buy his first home.
 
This isn't a story about escaping a career. It's about building something alongside it. In this episode we get into how the two income streams actually protect each other, why adding a sports nutrition qualification was the thing that unlocked a genuinely full-service coaching offer, and how he's structured his week so the variety prevents burnout rather than adding to it.
If you've been sitting on the fence about whether you can formalise something on the side without blowing up what you've already built, this one's for you.
