Send a textWelcome to Episode #3 of Season 3 of High Performance with Joe Sprange.Today, my conversation is with Nick Farr-Jones, former Wallabies captain and Rugby World Cup winner. Nick has always been someone I’ve admired for his leadership, humility and composure under pressure.In our chat, he reflects on the lessons that shaped him, from being left out of the 1st XV at Newington College to lifting the Rugby World Cup with Australia in 1991. His story is a powerful reminder that high performance isn’t a destination, it’s a mindset.For Nick, the keys are simple but uncompromising:• Mindset - How good can I be? Never being satisfied• Discipline - You’re either in it or you’re not• Consistant Effort -  Physical and mentalIn this episode, we explore:• What leadership under pressure really looks like• How to build trust and connection in a team• Why the best are never satisfied• The habits that keep champions groundedOne moment that stuck with me was when I asked Nick what surprised him most about high performance.He said: “How few people achieve it. I know so many great sportspeople who never got close to reaching their potential - 99% of people miss out.”Nick’s perspective is shaped by both triumph and reflection. After winning Australia’s first Rugby World Cup in 1991, he and the team didn’t settle. They went on to beat the All Blacks and Springboks in 1992.This episode is a masterclass in leadership and legacy.Next up: Cross-country skiing has always held a special place in my heart. I was a successful junior racer growing up, a kid who dreamed of the Olympics, so the next conversation feels personal. I sit down with Seve de Campo, one of Australia’s top cross-country skiers, to talk about resilience, identity and what it takes to keep pushing forward when no one’s watching.Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode of High Performance with Joe Sprange.Connect with Nick Farr-Jones:🔗 LinkedIn🌐 taurusfunds.com.au

Send a textWelcome to Episode #9, the grand finale of season two of @highperformancewithjoesprange! Today, I'm thrilled to chat with my big brother, Tom Sprange, who has been one of my heroes for as long as I can remember. To be honest, when I decided to do a podcast on high-performing people, Tom was at the top of my list for who I wanted to interview. It might seem unusual since he's my brother and we've shared countless conversations, but I knew there was still so much more to learn from his incredible journey and how inspiring it would be for others.Tom’s journey began as a lawyer handling high-volume insurance claims in Australia. Fast forward to today, and he’s a leading advocate for complex, high-value international disputes. Tom is a King's Counsel (KC) and the managing partner of King & Spalding’s London office. He also heads their International Disputes practice while still practicing law and providing top-tier advocacy and strategic advice. King & Spalding is ranked 22nd among global law firms. One of his colleagues describes Tom as “one of the very best litigators and advocates in the world.” Among Tom's legendary cases are Motorola v. Uzan, once the world’s largest fraud case, and the WADA v. Jack dispute, which was a groundbreaking moment for protecting the dreams of an innocent athlete and advancing legal standards to reflect scientific innovation., which he talks about in this episode.Tom believes that high performance in the legal world involves working at an elite level consistently over time, under intense pressure, and addressing complex strategic issues. His keys to success include:Talent: It’s a given.Timing: Knowing when to push hard and when to maintain control.Teamwork: The ability to work well with others.Balance: Sustaining high intensity over the long haul.Curiosity: A genuine love for what you do.Resilience: Mental fortitude and the ability to work through tough times.Tom also emphasises the importance of being kind to yourself to ensure long-term success and finding ways to nurture yourself outside of work.One quote from our chat that truly resonated with me is, "I have taken much more over the years out of failures and out of big dramatic losses than from things that have gone well." I’d love to hear your favourite insights from our conversation - drop them in the comments below!If you aspire to reach the pinnacle of the legal profession or excel in any high-performance field, this episode is an absolute must-listen.This marks the end of our second season, stay tuned for season three, launching soon!
