E138 - James Patterson, world's best-selling author: 75 years of learning has taught me this…
James Patterson is one of the world’s most successful authors, having sold over four hundred million books. In this episode James takes us through the challenges of his career and the ‘Eureka moment’ that made him quit marketing and become a full time writer. Having co-authored books with Bill Clinton and Dolly Parton, James explores how to best build relationships, earn trust and the importance of laughter. Having grown-up working class, and gradually made his way to the wealthy upper class, James explains how authenticity is key within his work, and personal, life. Finding the thing at the core of everything he does is key to Jame’s work, if he can find the core of every book the story can truly begin. Jake, Damian and James discuss how he keeps an inventory of his strengths and weaknesses, the importance of exploration and the value of education.Warning, there is swearing in this episode.- - - - - -Thanks to WHOOP for sponsoring this episode - the new WHOOP 4.0 is a wearable Fitness and Health Coach that helps you to Sleep Better, Train Smarter and Recover Faster - ultimately helping you to be the best possible version of yourself - get your first month free on us - join.whoop.com/en-uk/HPP Pre-order the new High Performance Daily Journal - 365 ways to become your best! smarturl.it/HPJournalWant even more from High Performance?

E137 - Nick Cox: Why the future IS bright at Manchester United
Nick Cox is the Head of Academy at Manchester United. He has previously been an Academy Manager at Sheffield United FC. In this episode, Nick shares with us the key to high performance - people and relationships. For Nick, high performance is about finding those small windows of alignment where you are in flow, and then when you are not in that state your time should be spent rebuilding to return to it. As Head of Academy, Nick offers insight into how to best lead and mentor children and young adults into becoming whole, well-rounded people. One key aspect that Jake, Damian and Nick discuss is how failure is crucial for children, and why their mentors or parents need to explain to them why ‘sitting on the bench’ is a positive thing. Nick discusses the importance of challenging your outlook, tackling discomfort and doing what excites you.- - - - - -Pre-order the new High Performance Daily Journal - 365 ways to become your best! smarturl.it/HPJournalWant even more from High Performance?
