Get Invested: Chris Barnes on the missing link between high performance and financial freedom

Your wealth plan might be missing its most important asset - you.

In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin is joined by Epigenetic Health Strategist Chris Barnes to explore the often overlooked link between high performance, health and financial freedom.

Most investors spend their time analysing markets, inspecting properties and chasing returns, yet rarely inspect the engine driving their decisions - their own biology. Through Bushy’s Sustainable Success “Borromean Rings” framework - the integration of Self, Health and Wealth (the 3 ELFs) — this conversation reveals why Self and Health are the sustainability multipliers that protect and extend Wealth.

Chris explains how chronic stress quietly undermines judgment, resilience and long-term compounding, why genes may load the gun but lifestyle pulls the trigger, and why high performers need biological awareness as much as bigger goals.

If you’re building a 20-year wealth strategy, this episode is a powerful reminder that you can’t build long-term financial freedom on a short-term nervous system.

Key insights you’ll hear in this episode:

• Sustainable wealth requires sustainable physiology.

• Most investors inspect properties - not themselves.

• Genes load the gun; lifestyle pulls the trigger.

• Chronic stress impacts decision-making, risk tolerance and long-term compounding.

• High performers need biological awareness, not just bigger goals.

• You can’t build a 20-year wealth plan on a 2-hour nervous system.
