During one of his interviews with a fitness magazine, he asserted, "A global business means global travel — not just exhausting business trips across time zones, but having to relocate for work.
Amidst all this, one must learn to respect the human body which ultimately enables you to stretch up to such limits, but it's equally important to enjoy other aspects of life. So, eat clean, exercise, enjoy your cheat meals and a few drinks on the weekend to maintain the balance." [sic]
