Why You Should Value Health Above All: M...

High Performance
About this episode

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.
