| 0:00.0 | A quick reminder, if you love High Performance, you can get episodes before anyone else on the High Performance app right now. |
| 0:05.3 | Listen to BAFTA winning comedian and TV host, Mo Gilligan. |
| 0:11.2 | Welcome along to High Performance, the show that aims to understand the stories, the successes, |
| 0:16.1 | and the struggles of some of the most fascinating people on the planets. |
| 0:19.5 | And you know what, Damon and I, we love bringing you these slightly shorter episodes where we actually get the chance to indulge a bit |
| 0:25.4 | in some of the 300 plus conversations that we've had and we lead in to some of the lessons |

| 1:15.8 | no, I missed that. So we're going to do that and we'll go back into some great guests that |
| 1:20.2 | we've not covered for a while. But I guess today as well, I think your point is perfectly made |
| 1:26.1 | that it's about translating some of the lessons we hear |
| 1:29.1 | from the rich, the famous, the successful, and translating it how anybody can do it and now |
