Guest: Marco Monteiro, an EO Melbourne member since 2025, founder of MJ Health Group
Host: Linh Podetti, an EO Sydney member since 2022, owner of Outsourcing Angel.

From starting as a personal trainer to building multiple health and fitness locations across Melbourne and Adelaide, Marco’s entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by discipline, resilience, leadership lessons and a deep passion for helping people improve their health.

In this episode of the EO Business Podcast, hosted by Linh Podetti, Marco shares how health and fitness helped him overcome a turbulent childhood, why motivation is not enough, and how building a fit and healthy lifestyle is similar to building a successful business.

Marco also opens up about becoming the bottleneck in his business, managing 38 staff across four locations, learning to delegate, and how EO helped him realise the importance of culture, accountability and leadership.

Linh and Marco also discuss menopause, strength training, energy, longevity, niching down in business, finding the right business partner, and why entrepreneurs need to treat energy as their number one currency.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs, founders and business owners who want to build a healthier body, stronger leadership, better systems and a business that supports their life instead of consuming it.
