Description: Jake and Damian take on one of the biggest myths in high performance: that the best people feel no fear.Almost every guest who’s sat in the chair has talked about playing without fear. The research says that isn’t how it works. Pippa Grange shares her “see it, face it, replace it” approachLewis Howes explains why he wrote a list of every fear holding him back Glenn Hoddle describes how surviving a cardiac arrest changed his relationship with fear for goodBrené Brown reveals how her coach called out her famous decisiveness as armour against uncertaintyJames Clear asks you to let fear be the accelerator rather than the brakeMel Robbins admits she still counts down from five to get out of bed every morning.Jake opens up on the day Glenn collapsed and the broadcast that followed, and on the live TV moments where fear got the better of him. Damian unpacks the comfort, stretch and panic zones, why simply naming a fear turns the volume down, and the karaoke experiment that showed calling nerves “excitement” can transform how you perform.They finish with a challenge for the week ahead: write your own fear list, pick one thing on it and walk towards it. Because fear and courage live in the same place.Clips featured (full episodes linked below):Dr Pippa GrangeLewis Howes https://pod.fo/e/26ab4eGordon Ramsay https://pod.fo/e/1fa614Bear Grylls: https://pod.fo/e/2a7aa6Glenn Hoddle https://pod.fo/e/1249b3Brené Brown https://pod.fo/e/3ca929 James Clear https://pod.fo/e/16868c Mel Robbins https://pod.fo/e/ed46fAG1 👉 Grab the Autumn Wellness bundle at http://drinkag1.com/highperformance - Get a free welcome kit and shaker, a month's supply of Omega 3 capsules, a bottle of Vitamin D3K2 and five travel packs, plus an extra £10 offVitality 👉 We've partnered with Vitality because our philosophies align perfectly: healthy habits build high performance and can lead to a healthier, longer life.
