In 2023, Steel River Group Founder and CEO Trent Fequet was featured in a four-part interview series with Lifestyle Magazine, where he shared personal reflections on stress, burnout, leadership, mental health, and the role of community in overall wellbeing.
The series offered a candid look into the realities of leading a growing organization while navigating the personal pressures that often come with entrepreneurship and responsibility.
Throughout the interviews, Trent discussed how the pandemic highlighted the importance of connection and routine after losing access to the fitness community that had long supported his health and daily balance.
He shared that turning fully toward work during that period ultimately led to burnout, reinforcing the need to protect personal wellbeing alongside professional ambition.
The series explored several key themes:
Managing stress as a founder and CEO
The importance of community and belonging
Burnout and the need to reset priorities
Physical activity as a foundation for leadership and fatherhood
Indigenous wellness principles through the Medicine Wheel
Balancing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health
In the final segment, Trent spoke about how reconnecting with his Indigenous cultural identity and the principles of the Medicine Wheel helped provide clarity and a path forward during difficult times.
The interview series highlighted a leadership philosophy rooted not only in business growth, but in discipline, self-awareness, family, and whole-person wellness.
For Steel River Group, the feature also reflected a broader company culture that values people, resilience, and long-term wellbeing as much as professional success.
