From there, he found purpose in the world of performance psychology, going on to work with Olympians, Paralympians, business leaders, and Formula 1 champions, including Fernando Alonso.Together, David and Andrew explore what “high performance” really means, the psychology of resilience, and how understanding yourself and your human wiring can transform both life and business. They also dive into practical strategies for estate agents and entrepreneurs: how to recover quickly from setbacks, build resilience, and understand clients on a deeper human level.It is one of the most powerful and moving conversations yet, raw, inspiring and packed with lessons for anyone who wants to perform at their best.In this conversation, we cover:  • Extraordinary Life Story: Andrew recounts his time in the police, exposure to trauma, and the sudden onset of dissociative amnesia that wiped his entire memory at age 30. • Rebuilding from Zero: How he relearned everyday life, from making coffee to re-meeting his wife and family, while living with a 24-hour memory span for two years. • Finding Purpose: Transition from police work to Porsche driver, to VIP chauffeur at Heathrow, to stroke survivor, and ultimately to high-performance coach. • Turning Trauma into Strength: How personal tragedy, including his brother’s suicide, became the catalyst for understanding mental health and resilience. • Defining High Performance: “Anyone who wants to be better than they were yesterday is a high performer.” • Practical Mindset Tools: • There is no failure, only feedback. Learn, adapt, and move forward. • Resilience is “how quickly you return to standard performance after a setback.” • Language, Attitude, Behaviour: the core framework for personal and team success. • Understanding People: How to read communication cues — visual, auditory, and kinesthetic — to better connect with others (perfect for agents understanding clients). • Spotting a Liar: Insights from his police training on reading body language and eye-movement cues. • Performance in Sport & Business: Lessons from coaching Formula 1 drivers and Olympians, and why mindset and data awareness separate good from great. • Human Connection: Why success begins with self-understanding and empathy. “Know your human being.”
