This one is special. I got to meet @jakehumphrey earlier in the week at a work event and to say he’s a gent is an understatement. I could have asked him so much but time was against us.

I remember watching F1 years ago, long before the High Performance Podcast or podcasts in general were a thing, little did I know or think after @john.fitzgerald7 introduced me to the podcast years ago that Jake and I would be standing side by side, regaling about episodes of his podcast and asking what his three non-negotiables are.

He has spoken to the greatest High Performing people around the world and sees high performance as whatever you deem it to be to get the best out of yourself. If that makes you the greatest sports person who ever lived, or super chef, or best Dad… it is all down to you and what personally drives you.

In an interview with England Rugby League captain SamTomkins he unveils HP as “Doing the best you can, where you are, with what you’ve got” 🤯

I take inspiration from the work Jake and his team do and look forward to listening to more of his conversations.

Thanks for the time Jake

Damian Browne is a unique human being. He has chosen to spend his life taking on some of the worlds toughest challenges. This is Damians third time on the podcast and this episode is unique, the first was after he rowed for the first time across the Atlantic Ocean, and the second was the very first interview for @projectempower2022

We met in Damian's native home town Galway on the west coast of Ireland in the Dew Drop Inn and thanks to Galway Bay Brewery for organising some space for us and we spoke about everything, from his emotional experience over the 112 days on the ocean to the challenge of losing his rowing partner on day 13 and he speaks openly and honestly as always.

I ask Damian about the life of an adventurer and how people may perceive it to be a selfish lifestyle especially with a young family and we delve into the emotions of that and what it means to him and his wonderful partner and child.

We also delve into various moments on the boat that had a huge impact on him, Ferg having to be rescued, stuck in a cabin for 15 hours thinking your about to capsize any second, landing on Furbo and much more.

Damian is a man who meets challenge head on while accepting the importance of showing vulnerability and emotion. He see this as a massive strength and something we can all work on developing.

Damian also believes that the mind can push the body through far more struggle than we realise and he taps into some of the times on the ocean when he needed to.

We speak about his hallucinations, dealing with loss, the crew and people in the background that took the brunt of his frustrations in their stride and we regaled the funny story around the moment he tried to pull away from New York harbour and instead rowed towards it.

This is episode is long, but fruitful. It is two friends sharing a beer, exploring a world that so many of us will never experience, yet for Damian Browne, he has conquered the ocean twice and earned time now to take a breath and reap some of the rewards from his gallant efforts.

This episode is full of emption, honesty and without a doubt a deep insight into the mind of Ireland's ultimate adventurer @auld_stock Damian Browne

Starting off my day with @procoffeedrinks

Hika speaks honestly about certain regrets he has during a time when publically people thought he was top of the world as an @allblacks - little did he realise the mental challenges ahead of him as a result of the passing of a friend.

Life is a journey where we learn, fall, apply our learnings, fall some more and in each time we fall, that very next steps is a sign of growth, or resilience. Then the next and the next until we’ve got momentum.

That’s when you become unstoppable. Hika shows what it’s like when we done equip ourselves with the tools to survive. He’s one of the lucky ones and shining now. #mentalhealth #you #tool #life #love

This episode is a precious one. @hika_elliot is a professional rugby player and an All Black who has managed to turn a life of anger, pain and trauma into a world of optimism, happiness, peace and most importantly love.

Hika passionately speaks about growing up in a dangerous area in New Zealand his career and the expectations set on him at a young age, however, as a young man he didn't have the tools to control his anger and emotions. Hika grew up in a world where mostly the strongest survive.

Hika is the ultimate warrior of life and he continues to fight the challenges of life, with compassion, empathy and learned experiences.

At the time of recording Hika was excited about his new born arriving. Thankfully she has arrived and both mum and baby are doing well. Congrats on the life you've lived and the road ahead. You're a truly inspiring person and I'm grateful we got to share this experience.

Kia Ora my friend.

Our mini Daschund made is most of the way with a few breaks in between so we improvised
