Summary

Happy New Year! Jake and Damian kick off 2026 by revealing their brand new book MICRO HABITS – a game-changing guide built from five years and 400+ High Performance interviews (Buy your copy here)


Forget complex systems and thousand-page textbooks. This episode proves that success starts simple. From Jake's 15-minute alarm shift that transformed his mornings, to Ian McGeechan's "world-class basics," to Rob O'Neill's Navy SEAL wisdom about making your bed – the highest performers all share one secret: tiny, consistent behaviours create extraordinary results.


In this special episode, Jake and Damian share an exclusive listen to the audiobook introduction, then discuss why they structured the book around 48 short chapters (one for each week of the year) covering everything from motivation with Keely Hodgkinson to time management with Shane Parrish. Each chapter takes just 3-5 minutes to read but delivers insights that could change how you do everything.


Whether you're looking to transform 2026 or just curious about what makes elite performers tick, this is your starting point.


MICRO HABITS is available now from all major book retailers.

the biggest lessons in the learnings that we've taken from so many conversations on high performance.
