Sir Gareth Southgate: The Truth About Leaving England (E380)
We welcome back Sir Gareth Southgate to High Performance for his most open and reflective conversation yet. In this episode, Gareth breaks his silence on England’s “almost” era, revealing the fear of failure, pressure of history, and fine margins that have shaped his time as manager. He discusses the burden of expectation, the culture of small daily habits and respect he’s built, and the empathy and vulnerability that define his modern approach to leadership. From handling Wayne Rooney’s retirement to protecting players from public scrutiny, Southgate opens up about the realities of leading under relentless pressure, the evolution of England’s team culture, and what legacy truly means beyond trophies. This is a rare, honest conversation with one of football’s most thoughtful leaders, about resilience, accountability, and what it really takes to lead a nation. 🚨 Partners Simba 👉 Jake believes better performance starts with better sleep.

As a former SAS soldier, Billy has faced war zones, exhaustion, and moments most of us can barely imagine.

From a teenage turning point after being stabbed to leading the world's most elite military forces and protecting some of Hollywood’s most high-profile stars, he’s learned that strength isn’t about aggression, it’s about staying grounded when everything around you isn’t. Together, we unpack: Why discipline matters more than motivation How to stay calm when pressure peaks What “controlled aggression” really means The difference between fear and focus Why true leadership starts with humility Billy’s new book ‘Further - 10 lessons the SAS taught me about life’ is out now.

Former England and Premier League star Joe Cole opens up about the lessons learned beyond the pitch, honesty, resilience, and what it truly means to live a high performance life.

The Man Behind the All Blacks Mentality: Gilbert Enoka on Building Character & Connection
Pre-order our brand new book Micro-Habits and use code MICROHABITS26 for 25% off before the launch on 1st January. https://hppod.co/472Og7q In this profound conversation, Gilbert Enoka, the legendary mental skills coach behind the New Zealand All Blacks' success, shares the deeply personal journey that shaped his approach to high performance and the habits he’s famous for. Gilbert opens up about the ‘ghosts’ from his past that still influence his work, explaining how early deprivation made him acutely sensitive to others' emotional states. This gift allowed him to become an emotional detective, observing subtle cues in athletes before training and meetings to meet unexpressed needs, a skill he calls game-changing. The discussion explores pivotal concepts that transformed the All Blacks, including: Red Head vs. Blue Head thinking: Understanding how survival instincts (red) and rational decision-making (blue) must work together under pressure The 2007 turning point: How a devastating World Cup loss led to embracing pressure rather than avoiding it Squeeze drills: Deliberately practicing skills under pressure to prepare for critical moments "Better people make better All Blacks": Why character development became central to the team's philosophy The misunderstood "no dickhead policy": How leaders actually enforce team standards Sweeping the sheds: The true meaning behind this famous ritual of humility Gilbert shares intimate stories about working with legends like Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. This conversation offers rare insight into the human side of elite performance, reminding us that the greatest competitor we face isn't external—it's ourselves. Hosted on Acast.

When to Say What You Think (And When Not To) with Harvard Psychologist Steven Pinker
Pre-order our brand new book Micro-Habits and use code MICROHABITS26 for 25% off before the launch on 1st January. https://hppod.co/472Og7q What makes great communicators stand out isn’t confidence, charisma, or talent, it’s clarity. In this episode, cognitive scientist and Harvard professor Steven Pinker joins Damian to explore the hidden psychology behind how we speak, listen, and understand one another. He explains why the real art of communication isn’t about what we say, but about how we build common knowledge, the shared understanding that allows people to think, decide, and act together. Pinker calls it one of the most overlooked habits in high performance: the ability to step outside your own head and see the world as others do. It’s how leaders create alignment, how teams build trust, and how ideas truly land. Together, we explore: Why "everyone knows it" is completely different from "everyone knows that everyone knows it" The essential habit of knowing when to make the unspoken spoken (and when not to) How to use focal points to coordinate without words The three types of human relationships—and why mixing them up destroys trust Why blunt honesty can be just as damaging as ambiguity Whether you're leading a team, navigating a difficult conversation, or simply trying to communicate more effectively, this episode will transform how you think about language, relationships, and coordination Steven’s new book ‘When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows…’ is out now.

In this special deep dive into his Essential Habits, Johann reveals the unique system he uses to stay grounded, lead with clarity, and achieve world-class results, from the Springboks and Munster to transforming Bath Rugby. This episode is a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership, where Johann shares: The Notebook Habit: Why he carries a notebook everywhere and must 'Think in Ink' writing his thoughts down hourly for reflection, clarity, and decision-making. Stillness in the Storm: His foundational habit of beginning every morning with a moment of stillness to manage stress and stay calm in chaos. Unshakeable Trust: How he surrounds himself with a small circle of six mentors who are mandated to "always tell me the truth" even when he doesn't want to hear it. The Blueprint for Unmissable: The simple principle that "Rugby is what we do, it's not who we are," and his relentless drive to "become unmissable" by doing the things others aren't prepared to do. Before every game, Johann takes time to replay his week, not tactics or strategy, but interactions. He asks himself: Did I listen enough? Did I lift someone today? Did I stay true to my values? It’s a simple practice, but one that shapes everything about how he leads. This is a rare and special look inside the mind of a top-level head coach. Hosted on Acast.

Stop Chasing Perfection: A Therapeutic Take on Success with Alain de Botton, Philosopher
Philosopher and bestselling author Alain de Botton invites us to completely rethink what success really means. This profound and therapeutic conversation explores how true high performance isn’t about external achievement, but about realising your unique potential and finding peace within yourself. Alain challenges the obsession with being “special,” explaining why accepting our ordinariness can be the most liberating idea of all. He also discusses how envy can reveal our hidden potential, how we lose touch with our true selves by trying to please others, and why moments of crisis or even pain can be the body’s search for balance. This is a deeply human exploration of ambition, self-worth, and acceptance, an invitation to define success on your own terms.
