Summary
This coming Sunday (4th Feburary) is the first night in our 2023 High Performance Tour!
In this episode Jake and Damian take you through what you can expect from the 2023 High Performance Tour. It is not your typical podcast show, each night is filled with music, audience interaction and industry leading experts.
Two of the tour’s special guests, Kye Sones and Owen O’Kane, join this episode to discuss their high performance journey. Kye went from touring the world one day to working on a building site the next. Owen O’Kane explores why it is so crucial to share stories of mental health and create a space for vulnerable discussion.
Jake and Damian are also joined by Stephen Crocker, CEO of Norwich Theatre Royal and Creative Director of The High Performance Tour to discuss the importance of storytelling and how he approached creating a show with a high performance mindset.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello everyone. Welcome along to a slightly different episode of the High Performance podcast. |
| 0:04.9 | Usually on a Friday we do a bite-size episode where we hear a thought from one of our previous guests |
| 0:09.8 | and we talk about it. But we thought that we would do something a little bit different for you today |
| 0:13.5 | because we are about to embark on something that puts myself and Damian well out of our comfort zones. |
| 0:19.4 | We're going to go on a UK tour. Now it's not normally that scary for a podcast to go on tour |
| 0:24.4 | because you just do what you do on the podcast in front of a live audience, which is slightly |
| 0:28.5 | nerve-wracking but it's okay. However, what we've created or tried to create will wait and see |
| 0:33.5 | whether it happens is a proper immersive theatre experience, not just another live podcast show. |
| 0:40.3 | So we start in Norwich on Sunday evening, Sunday the 5th of February and then we head right around |
| 0:45.5 | the UK to London, Nottingham, Oxford, Northampton, Glasgow, Cardiff, Gilford, Leeds, |
| 0:50.9 | Sulford. So we're going to be going the length and breadth of the country and what we're going to try |
| 0:55.2 | and do is create an hour and a half or a couple of hours that leaves people really empowered, |
| 1:00.9 | really inspired, really uplifted to go and find their own version of high performance. |
| 1:05.1 | So we're doing it in a number of ways. We're going to have live music on stage and in a moment |
| 1:09.7 | you're going to hear from the musician who's going to join us, the guy called Kai Somes, who |
| 1:13.7 | went on the X Factor, thought it was going to change his life and it kind of did but not necessarily |
| 1:18.8 | in the way that he expected and life was then a real struggle. However, he now sings with loss |
| 1:24.4 | frequencies, touring around Europe. He's also a songwriter and wrote a huge hit for David Getter |
| 1:29.6 | and Becky Hill last year which he's going to perform on the night as well but he's got a really |
| 1:33.3 | compelling story about resilience and following your dreams and not giving up. We're also going |
| 1:38.3 | to be joined on the show by Owen O'Kane, a psychotherapist who works with some of the biggest actors, |
| 1:44.6 | sport stars, politicians, leaders and he delivered a high performance episode for us a few months |
