Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes introduce their new book, "High Performance: Lessons from the Best, on Becoming Your Best."
Jake reflects on his journey from an average student with no clear career path to a successful TV presenter and producer. He credits his A-level exam failure as the catalyst for his growth and success.
Jake's first job in television was at Rapture TV, where he gained valuable experience and learned the importance of persistence and adaptability. He realized that success is not solely determined by natural talent but also by hard work, a winner's mindset, and supportive mentors.
Jake's experiences with high achievers in various fields led him to create the High Performance Podcast, where he explores the psychology and behaviors of successful individuals. He emphasizes the importance of embracing failure and learning from it, as well as surrounding oneself with positive influences.
Damian Hughes, a professor of psychology, joined the podcast to provide scientific insights into high performance. He highlights the role of motivation, self-belief, and goal-setting in achieving success.
The book "High Performance" is a culmination of the lessons learned from the podcast, offering practical strategies for readers to improve their performance and achieve their goals. It covers topics such as overcoming setbacks, developing a growth mindset, and creating a supportive network.
Jake and Damian encourage listeners to pre-order the book, which will be available in December. They emphasize the book's potential to impact lives and help readers turbocharge their personal and professional growth by learning from the experiences of successful individuals.
