Purpose over profit with Joe Wicks

High Performance
About this episode

Jake shares with Damian the conversation with Joe Wicks that transformed his life, completely shifting his view on what it means to be driven by purpose. They reflect on the importance of purpose over profit and how understanding your purpose can lead to clearer and more informed decision making.


Joe also offered practical advice for staying present and making time for the people who matter. He suggested people take “mini retirements” every year: whether it is a weekend or a month, a mini-retirement is time away from work and the pressures of everyday life to focus on family, friends, rest and relaxation. Jake reflects on how this has now become a crucial part of his life.
