Hi there, I'm Jay Cumpfrey and this is High Performance. I give to you for free every

single week. This is the podcast that turns the lived experiences of the planet's highest

performance into your life lessons. So today allow me and Professor Damian Hughes, who is

an expert in organizational psychology, to speak to the greatest leaders, think as sports

stars, entertainers and entrepreneurs on the planet and let those people be your teacher.

Today we've got a special episode for you. Here's what's in store.

I think the way I look at money and happiness is I don't think money in and off itself

brings us happiness. I think money can remove common sources of unhappiness. It's probably

how I look at it. We think that when we get a better job, a nicer car, we can go on a

nicer holiday. We get a promotion. We think we're going to be happy. But what happens for

many, many people is that they bust a gut to get all those things. They get those things.

And then they realise, I'm not still feel crap. I've still got that hold on my heart. That

hasn't plugged that hole like I thought it was going to. The number one factor for your

happiness is the quality of your relationships. I've made so many changes since then because

I was, would question myself, whose life are you living? Are you living someone else's

life or are you living your own life? And really my quest more and more is, how can I really

be me? Not perform at being me, not the version of me that I think other people want. How

can I truly be me? Can you be a high performance individual without having high levels of connection

in your life? I don't think you can. So today is all about education, but education in a

different kind of way, educating you in the way you think. As you know, I love the book

Daily Stoic and it's a lesson every single day of the year from the Stoic. There was

a lovely quote I read recently from Epic Titus who said, what is it then to be properly educated?
