0:00.0	Hi there, welcome along to this bite-size episode of the High Performance Podcast.
0:04.3	This podcast exists to get you closer to your own version of High Performance,
0:09.2	but I also know that you don't always have an hour or an hour and a half to spend
0:13.6	listening to the guests that join us. So on a Friday, we'd like to give you a short,
0:17.4	sharp, hit-of-inspiration, and today we welcome a CEO who has built a business worth over
0:23.4	£3 billion. But the important thing about this conversation is what the business is about.
0:29.4	You may well hear me often talk about Woop. I wear a Woop Band, the whole team on High Performance,

1:27.7	general mindset that they have towards greatness. They do a phenomenal job staying present
1:37.2	in the sense that they are hyper focused in the moment on being great. And they don't spend a lot
1:43.6	of time really reflecting from an install just standpoint. And in a way, it seems they're almost driven
1:49.9	to a fault. And the ones who tend to be happiest in being driven to a fault also have some form of
1:56.2	gratitude that they bring into their life. So they're simultaneously hungry and they're on that
2:02.4	dopamine train of I need to win the next thing while also being grateful for their success.
