  • Mastery Isn’t Talent — It’s Training on Purpose

    What resonated deeply with me was how this episode revealed a truth too few acknowledge: greatness isn’t an accident — it’s a commitment to disciplined refinement. Watching how Cristiano Ronaldo built his edge through training instead of waiting for talent to catch up reminded me that mastery is less about gifts and more about ruthless consistency and standards. Inspiring, humble, and real.

  • The high performance podcast

    Jake’s voice is really annoying and I think he loves the sound of it what is with the whispery husky voice he keeps trying to do

    App just loops the same questions endlessly. Not very high performance design or development work

  • Insufferable

    Jake’s voice grates when the constant over advertising is shoehorned in way to much. On top of that they let the likes of Sadiq Khan on to what’s is supposed to be a high performance podcast. A man who is quite literally destroying our great city of London. Considering Jake is meant to be a journalist he never digs adequately into someone’s story and real pain points that listeners want to hear. Can’t stand the hosts or their woke approach.
