Elevate with Mets

In this episode of Elevate with Mets, Mets and Jazmin Leary go deep on the real starting point of any transformation — the mind.
Before the gym, before the diet, before the business, it's your thoughts, your environment and your identity that decide whether you win or stay stuck. Mets breaks down why discipline is a skill you build (not a trait you're born with), why systems beat motivation every time, and the one shift that changes everything: you don't have to feel ready to start.
They dive into:
Why transformation starts in your mind, not the gym
How your environment creates your thoughts, confidence and results
The limiting beliefs that keep people stuck ("I'm just someone who never…")
Discipline as a skill — and how to actually build it
System → process → discipline → outcome (why motivation isn't the answer)
Health is your wealth: looking after yourself so you can perform everywhere else
Building a new identity and letting go of old habits
The new Titan app & ecosystem — giving coaches and members their time back
Why you should stop waiting to feel ready

In this episode of Elevate with Mets, Mets sits down with Jaz to reflect on nearly three decades in the fitness industry — from opening Titan Fitness Rockdale 28 years ago, to running three gyms at once, to building the Titan of today in Coogee. Mets shares the lessons that only come from doing every job in the building: cleaner, instructor, trainer, front of house, back of house, and everything in between.

They dive into:
- Why doing every job ("working in the weeds") shapes who you become
- How the fitness industry — and how people see fitness — has changed in the social media era
- Earning respect as a 21-year-old gym owner, and learning from his brother Murat
- The truth about bodybuilding and competing (and why feeling good beats shredding for the stage)
- Building Titan for everyone: the gym floor, The Underground, Reformer Pilates, Rhythm Cycling, Hyrox, Engine & Power
- "We'll meet you where you are" — fitness as an individual journey
- The story behind SUPPSTANCE and why quality and less is more
- What people still get wrong about fitness: the quick fix vs. the long game

This episode is about patience, reinvention and the long game — and proof that consistency over decades is what actually wins.

This week on Elevate with Mets, I sit down with John Saade — Chartered Accountant, entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of Latitude Accountants, one of Australia’s fastest-growing accounting and advisory firms.
From growing up in Western Sydney in a migrant family to building a national firm servicing thousands of business owners, John’s story isn’t just about numbers — it’s about discipline, resilience, leadership, faith, and reinvention.
We dive deep into business growth, risk-taking, failure, leadership evolution, and the personal health transformation that changed everything.
In this powerful conversation, we explore:
💼 Building a Business From Scratch
From earning $22,000 a year as a junior accountant to launching Latitude in 2011 — and scaling across multiple states with 50+ staff.
📊 Why Most Businesses Fail Financially
The real mistakes business owners make with structure, debt, ego, and bad advice — and how to fix them before it’s too late.
🔥 Risk, Failure & Decision-Making
Why Australia is one of the safest places in the world to take business risks — and why moving fast beats overthinking.
👊 Leadership & Culture
Why great operators lead from the front, why dictatorship leadership eventually collapses, and how to build teams that win long-term.
🏋️ 170kg to Powerlifting
John opens up about reaching 170kg, a near-fatal motorbike accident, gastric bypass surgery, reversing it, and finally committing to doing health the hard way — with discipline, coaching, and strength training.
🧠 Health = Business Performance
Why neglecting his body stalled his company — and why fixing his health helped Latitude grow 5x.
🌏 The Vision for Latitude
John’s mission to empower small business owners across Australia — with a bold goal of operating in every state by 2030.
This episode is a masterclass in entrepreneurship, personal accountability, leadership growth, and playing the long game.
If you run a business, want to start one, or feel stuck between comfort and potential — this one will challenge you.
