99% of things don’t matter

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.
