| 0:03.6 | Now, one of the things that we are desperate to do here on the High Performance Podcast |
| 0:07.3 | is drive real change when it comes to people seeking therapy, looking for support. |
| 0:12.4 | Let me be totally clear at the start of this. |
| 0:14.4 | Okay, I have been in therapy, I've had help, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. |
| 0:19.2 | Why do we spend hours in the gym working on our bodies, but no time in therapy working on our minds? |

| 1:21.8 | help.com slash performance. Can I just talk to you very quickly about Slack? They're partnering |
| 1:29.3 | with us on today's high performance podcast, but actually they partner with us at high performance |
| 1:34.6 | every single day of the week. So the way this podcast works is we've now got seven or eight people |
| 1:38.8 | in the team and we are based all over the UK. So how can we be based everywhere and still |
