Stepping outside of your comfort zone

High Performance
About this episode

In this episode, Jake has an honest chat about being out of your comfort zone. The High Performance Podcast is currently touring the UK and although this is extremely exciting, it can bring about lots of new challenges. For Jake, one of the challenges is public speaking to thousands of people. 


He opens up about the pressures of performing on stage, making sure the audience enjoy themselves and turning the podcast into an exciting live show. Jake reflects on how he had to learn to lean into his fears in order to face them and how you can too.
