In this episode, we sit down with Jack McCoy, a Tasmanian mechanical business owner, marathon runner and a new dad!, to talk about what it really looks like to juggle it all without dropping the ball.Jack opens up about the raw reality of becoming a first-time dad, the sleepless nights, the baby books that set unrealistic expectations, the relationship shifts that nobody warns you about, and how he found his new normal. He shares the honest truth about swallowing your pride as a self-confessed creature of habit when the house isn't perfect and the grass doesn't get mowed.We also dive deep into Jack's business journey, from rediscovering his lost passion for mechanics, to taking the leap into business ownership in 2021 and building a team of nine employees. Jack talks candidly about delegating, trusting your team, and the mental shift required to let go of control when a something major gets thrown into the mix... (having a baby) changes everything.And then there's the running. What started as signing up for the Burnie 10 with zero training has evolved into completing full marathons on the Gold Coast and beyond. Jack gets real about the mental toughness required, and shares a small story about his struggle at the 35km mark, and the power of a single text message which saved his race, and why he's set himself a goal to run one marathon every year for the next ten years.This episode is for the blokes grinding through the chaos of business, fatherhood, and chasing personal goals, and finding out who they really are along the way.
