We welcome the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to High Performance. In this episode, Sadiq sits down with Jake and Damian for an honest and open conversation about his life, his journey, and what it means to lead a city as vibrant and complex as London. From his family’s roots in Pakistan to his path to becoming mayor, he shares insights that go far beyond politics.


Sadiq opens up about his personal background, reflecting on his parents' migration story and his own experience growing up in London. He discusses how his upbringing has shaped his values and how he’s tried to instill those same values in his own children. Sadiq also dives into the balance he maintains between his political responsibilities and personal beliefs, explaining his unique approach to decision-making.


He discusses the challenges he faces in his role, from handling the intensity of London’s mayoral responsibilities to navigating complex issues like racism and public scrutiny. He also touches on his well-known feud with Donald Trump, offering insights into how he deals with public criticism and personal attacks while staying focused on his goals.
