Summary
As Movember approaches, Jake and Damian catch up to discuss the critical role that health plays in achieving high performance. Movember is a global initiative that raises awareness about men's mental and physical health, making it the perfect time for them to reflect on the importance of taking care of yourself, not just for success, but to truly enjoy the fruits of that success.
In this episode, Jake and Damian reflect on lessons from guests like Michael Johnson, David Smith, Billy Monger, and Mark Cavendish, emphasising the importance of overcoming challenges, spending quality time with loved ones, and prioritising activities that boost well-being. They highlight the value of focusing on health when you're feeling good to prevent neglect during tough times, and stress the need for therapy, likening emotional wellness to a bucket that can overflow if not managed; an essential consideration for every man’s well-being.
Listen in to hear more about how understanding your emotions and taking care of your mental and physical health can lead to a balanced and fulfilled life.

| 0:00.0 | Hi there you're listening to high performance people think that this show is all about high |
| 0:05.3 | achievement but it isn't is it it's about finding our own version of high performance |
| 0:09.2 | and for so many people including our guests health is a true barometer of high performance. |
| 0:14.9 | You're absolutely right, Jake. I'm often reminded of the billion book by the |
| 0:18.7 | palliative care nurse, Brony Ware, who wrote the book called The Regrets of the Dying in. |
| 0:23.2 | And one of the things that she echoes is what we hear from our guest that at that moment |
| 0:28.1 | of life where you face in the end it's not about status, wealth, prestige, your bank account. |
| 0:34.0 | It's about taking care of your wealth, |
| 0:36.1 | making sure that you're healthy and well enough |
| 0:38.3 | to enjoy the fruits of your success. |
| 0:40.6 | And that's what we hear so often from our guess I wish I'd have |
| 0:43.0 | enjoyed the journey I wish it had taken better care of myself. |

| 1:00.4 | Obviously, Movemba is the global movement which focuses on the health of men, both mental and physical. |
| 1:06.0 | I wonder whether you're just going to shave off the beard and live with a mustache for Mervember, because then you've done it. |
| 1:10.0 | Well, I think so, yeah, that's an easy way of doing it but I think the point |
| 1:13.6 | is it's a really powerful movement that just is a physical symbol of just |
