Summary

Courtney Black is a fitness influencer, Sunday Times best selling author and the owner of one of the most successful UK fitness apps, ‘Courtney Black Fitness’. Courtney believes that high performance is 'being successful at something that you are truly authentic with', a motto she has employed in the building of her fitness empire. In this episode, Courtney shares how she scaled her business, utilising her social media following to grow her brand and having to change direction due to the pandemic. She highlights the importance of self development, finding purpose and making difficult decisions in business.

Courtney also discusses the eating disorder that she developed as a teenager. She offers insight into how her eating disorder overwhelmed her life, opening up about her lack of self-confidence and the changes in her personality. She encourages us to challenge our own beauty standards, and shares that exercise shouldn't just be about looking good - it should be about feeling good!

0:00.0	Hi there, I'm Jake Cumpfrey and I wish you a very happy new year from the high
0:07.0	performance podcast. Throughout 2023 we are going to be standing right alongside
0:12.7	you, reminding you that it's within your ambition, your purpose, your story are
0:17.8	all there. We are going to help unlock it by turning the lived experiences of the
0:22.2	planet's highest performers into your life lessons every single week
0:26.3	throughout the new year. Myself and Professor Damian Hughes are going to be
0:30.7	having conversations that may well just change the game for you, but I want to
0:34.8	start 2023 by sharing a quote from Epic Titus, one of the Stoics. He says,
0:40.4	the chief task in life is simply this, to identify and separate matters so that I
0:46.5	can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control and which
0:51.7	have to do with the choices I actually control. And I wanted to share that because I
0:56.6	think that's the single most important message for you to hear from me ahead
1:01.5	of a brand new year. It was probably the most important practice in Stoic
1:05.6	philosophy, understanding the difference between what we can change and what we
1:10.6	can't. Realising that things will happen all the time to us that we can't
1:14.7	control, but it's still our responsibility to deal with them. Realising that in
1:19.3	2023 despite best intentions, despite best efforts, despite doing everything that
1:24.6	you think you can, things will still go wrong. Moments will still arrive where
1:28.4	everything feels like a failure where you feel like you're struggling. That will
1:32.3	happen, but what you have to do is let go of those things. You can't control the
1:38.9	uncontrollable. I think it's a great thought to start the new year with. I also
1:43.6	think this is a great episode to start the new year with. Today we welcome
