High Performance
About this episode

Tommy Fury steps into the spotlight to share the grit, the grind, and the truth behind his rise, from everyday beginnings to the global stage.


In this conversation, Tommy strips away the gloss to reveal the reality of his journey. He talks about growing up in a normal family, working for every opportunity, and refusing to do anything with less than 110% effort.


Tommy doesn’t shy away from the darker chapters. He recounts his struggles with alcohol and the moment he hit rock bottom, a turning point that forced him to take responsibility and rebuild his life with discipline and purpose. Through it all, he credits his family, especially his father, for giving him the belief and guidance to keep going.


This is a story of resilience, self-belief, and refusing to settle for half-measures.
