Broadcaster, author and High Performance co-host Jake Humphrey joins Ben Shephard and Andrew Tracey to talk success, happiness and what he’s learned from interviewing some of the world’s top performers. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with elite athletes, CEOs and coaches, Jake explains why many high achievers aren’t actually happy – and why redefining success might be the key to building a better life. We also dive into hustle culture, the power of small daily habits, learning to say no, and why putting family first might be the ultimate high-performance strategy.
