How To Build A High Performance Mindset - Jake Humphrey - #408

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Jake Humphrey. He's a television presenter, journalist, and host of the High Performance Podcast. Jake has spent a career talking to some of the highest performing humans on the planet, but it wasn't until he began his podcast that he really started to unpack their tools, tactics and mindsets. Today, we get to hear some of the most important lessons he's uncovered. I expect to learn why holistic high performance is so important, who Jake was most shocked by on the podcast, the most important insights Jake has applied to his own life, why taking responsibility for everything is the only strategy that matters, how to focus on being present, why Jake is leaving everything on the table and much more. I was really impressed by Jake. He's a normal guy who's been in a job that's had high status for a while, but he has found a calling that pulls at his heartstrings and makes him feel like he's really contributing to the world in a special way since beginning his podcast. And I resonate with that. I think that the sort of dialogues that he's having, the kind of direction, this holistic high performance as we came up with today is a message that a lot of people need to hear.

It mixes amazingly well if you want to add creatine or anything else in with it. And I'm trying out all new flavors in America. So if you're American, I can recommend dragon fruit, peach and mango or strawberry. And if you're in the UK, orange and mango or cranberry and raspberry are both great.
