The High Performance

In this special bonus mid-week episode we speak to Scottish boxing world champion Josh Taylor. Josh made history in 2021 in becoming Britain's first undisputed world champion in the four-belt era. He's a boxer that hasn't had the recognition he deserves.

They talk about courage, how following your dreams will enable you to live a life with no regrets, and how loving and taking care of yourself will result in happiness and a sense of fulfilment.

"The Tartan Tornado" will defend his undisputed super-lightweight titles against Jack Catterall in Scotland on Saturday February 26th.

Lee Child (aka James Dover Grant CBE) is an author, most well known for his thriller series Jack Reacher. The novels follow Jack, a former American military policeman, who ambles around the United States. The series has sold over 100 million copies, selling 9 books every second.

Lee Child was born in Coventry, went to law school in Sheffield and after part-time work in the theatre, he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director. But Lee was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He decided to throw all those years of television experience behind writing a thriller, spent £3.99 on some paper and pencils, sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series.

Reacher launches on Prime Video on 4th February.

We rewind back to episode 59 and our chat with Grace Beverley. Grace is founder and CEO of two successful businesses, Tala and Shreddy.

Grace talks brilliantly about how passion and purpose has now been sold as a ‘must have’. With the rise of social media, we now want this at the beginning of our working lives rather than finding it through our working life.

Sometimes we need to go through the hard stuff, before we get the good stuff! 

Listen and watch to the full episode: https://www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/podcast/grace-beverley 

Grace talks about what gave her the confidence to get started, How she manages those around her with more experience and her views on social media and navigating modern life.
