Dr Chris van Tulleken: The Food Industry Wants to Buy My Silence

Dr Chris van Tulleken is a doctor, scientist and one of the UK’s leading voices on ultra-processed food. An associate professor at UCL, an NHS doctor, World Health Organisation adviser and author of the bestselling Ultra-Processed People, he has spent years investigating what the food industry is really putting on our plates. But the truth about what we eat is far more unsettling than most of us realise... In this eye-opening conversation, we revisit why Chris believes the evidence linking ultra-processed food to physical and mental health problems has reached the same threshold we once reached with tobacco. He reveals how the world’s biggest tobacco companies helped shape the modern diet, how food is engineered and tested to make us eat more and eat faster, and what certain additives may be doing to our gut, our mood and our brains. He shares what happened when he spent a month eating an 80% ultra-processed diet, why so many people are living in “food swamps”, and the eye-watering sums of money that he has turned down from fast food companies to protect his integrity. Chris also sets out the two changes he believes could transform our food system: clear warning labels on unhealthy food and a government nutrition committee free from industry money. This is a conversation about agency, justice and taking back control, and a powerful reminder that if you struggle with this food, it’s not your fault.

Why Ferrari Should Have OVERRULED Lewis Hamilton & Jake Goes MISSING! (E26)

Jake's gone AWOL, so Rob and Otmar are running the show on their own this week. What could possibly go wrong?! Jake phones in from Orlando, where he says he's getting ready to interview Tom Brady (the guys aren't convinced, and reckon he's in a Norfolk Travelodge). Then Rob and Otmar take charge of the Singapore GP reaction. Max Verstappen took the Singapore double, winning both the Sprint and the Grand Prix, and the guys ask whether he really had the best car. Rob takes them into the Engineering Dark Web to show where Leclerc lost pole and why Ferrari might have let a race win slip away. They also look at Lewis's decision not to pit under the virtual safety car, and Rob explains when a team has to overrule its driver. They also go through a chaotic Sprint, from George binning it while leading to Lando's last-lap lunge on Oscar, and Otmar explains how driver contracts can encourage moves like that. Then there's the FIA's "human error" with power modes in qualifying, and why Otmar would have sent everyone through to Q2. Plus, a parcel of Senna socks from a listener, a B******t Corner where Rob is meant to argue against everything and agrees with every point, the story behind Otmar's "nine women, one month" line, your book titles and dad jokes, and the guys' reaction to an exclusive clip from Christian Horner's High Performance interview.

Are We Part of the ‘Optimisation Podcast’ Problem?

After hundreds of conversations with extraordinary people, Jake and Damian stop and ask a question they've been circling for a while prompted by a recent social media post from Rob Beckett: how has High Performance changed since it started and are we part of the 'grindset' problem? When the show began, they were fascinated by winning: routine, sacrifice, discipline, marginal gains. Jake once wrote a post about getting up at 5am that he now calls one of his biggest regrets. In this episode they play back their own early conversations, including Jake's advice to Steven Bartlett and Ant Middleton's definition of high performance from the show's second episode, and ask what they'd still stand by and what they've changed their minds about. The shift started with Jonny Wilkinson, who told Jake that suffering doesn't lead you to joy. It just builds stronger habits of suffering. From there they get into the difference between high standards and grind culture, what the Special Forces told them about never feeling like they'd done enough, and whether the people who change the world are driven by obsessive or harmonious passion (they don't fully agree). Mark Manson and Jimmy Carr help them land it. As Jake puts it: high standards ask something of you. Grind culture asks everything of you. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, or whether "enough" is even the right question, this one's for you.

SpaceX IPO, Broadcom Crash & Anthropic Vs. OpenAI: The AI Bubble Explained | Andrew Ross Sorkin

Journalist and founder of DealBook Andrew Ross Sorkin cuts through the hype to expose the high-stakes reality of the AI boom and how a single technology is currently holding up the entire US economy. Drawing parallels to 1929, the dot-com era, and 2008, he unpacks a dangerous paradox: for AI's massive valuations to make sense, it must replace human labour, but if everyone loses their jobs, who's left to buy the products? Andrew also makes a compelling case that history's greatest leaps in progress, from railways to Tesla and SpaceX, were born out of destructive, speculative frenzies. He shares what separates elite entrepreneurs: a healthy insecurity that drives relentless execution, paired with a lifelong curiosity that success usually kills. Andrew Ross Sorkin's book: '1929: The Inside Story of The Greatest Crash in Wall Street' is available in paperback now: https://amzn.eu/d/05LJS2F0 IFS - award-winning Asset & Service Management software 👉 Reimagine your operations at: https://highpfrmc.com/rwih-ifs-yt XTB 👉 To find out more and make your money work, use code RWIH at: https://highpfrmc.com/xtb-rwih-yt Hosted on Acast.

Sergio Pérez: What Red Bull Never Revealed About My Shock Exit (E422)

Over 15 seasons, Cadillac F1 driver Sergio 'Checo' Pérez has established himself as one of the most experienced drivers on the grid, earning 6 Grand Prix victories and finishing 2nd in the 2023 World Championship. Sergio walked into Red Bull Racing in 2021 knowing the team was built around Max Verstappen, and was told early on that they operated with a clear number one driver structure. He spent four years in one of the most demanding seats in Formula 1, navigating a final period he describes as increasingly difficult. In this episode, Sergio exposes the politics of the paddock to share the raw truth of his Formula 1 career. He opens up about the brutal reality of the Red Bull garage, the betrayal of losing his seat days before his historic victory at Sakhir, and how a lonely childhood living in a German truck-stop motel built his unbreakable mindset. Sergio also reflects on his next chapter with Cadillac, the lessons he’s taken from his time in F1, and the importance of learning to enjoy the journey while you’re in it. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, self-belief, and performing under relentless pressure.

Toto Wolff: The Brutal Truth Behind My Success, Self-Doubt & Leadership

This is a revisit of the conversation we previously had with Toto Wolff, Mercedes’ Team Principal and CEO, and it remains one of the most revealing interviews we’ve ever recorded. Toto opens up about the childhood experiences that shaped him, losing his father at 15, being forced to grow up quickly and the financial hardship his family faced. He also speaks candidly about periods of depression from the age of 18, seeking professional help and the feeling that he was alone with what he was experiencing. He explains why he has always “stared into an abyss”, how self-doubt drives him and why he believes questioning yourself every day is essential to improvement. We also get inside Toto’s leadership mindset, including the mistakes he made during Mercedes’ difficult years, how he learned to control his emotions and why he believes leaders should blame the problem rather than the person. And, of course, we revisit 2021, Lewis Hamilton, Abu Dhabi, Silverstone and the extraordinary pressure of that season. A deeply personal conversation with one of Formula 1’s most recognisable figures, and a reminder that the person behind the calm exterior has faced his own battles with doubt, failure and adversity.

How To Run Like An Olympic Medallist | Daryll Neita

What does it actually take to get faster? For Olympic sprinter Daryll Neita, the answer isn't running further, it's running better. Training five days a week in Florida, Daryll takes us inside the world of elite sprinting, from long winter sessions designed to build strength to the short, explosive work that creates speed. She also explains why sprinters rarely run more than 300–400m and why the gym can be just as important as the track. For everyday runners, Daryll shares the simple principles that matter most: stay injury-free, make strength work explosive, master your drills and keep chipping away.

How a Clothing Brand Dominated F1's Greatest Teams: Alessandro Benetton (E442)

Alessandro Benetton knows what it means to challenge an established order. When the Benetton family entered Formula 1 from the world of fashion, the paddock laughed. But rather than trying to fit in, they rewrote the rules, and went on to win world championships. Alessandro joins us to reflect on the decisions that changed everything, from recognising Michael Schumacher’s extraordinary talent before the rest of the sport caught on to standing by his team when allegations of cheating threatened the family’s reputation. He shares why backing your instincts, challenging convention and trusting the people around you can matter most when the pressure is on. This is an insight into the advantage of being an outsider, the courage to make unconventional decisions, and why sometimes the best way to get ahead is to stop following the crowd. Alessandro Benetton Bio: Alessandro Benetton is Chairman of Edizione and Mundys, and the founder of 21 Invest. He began his career in Formula 1, taking over the Benetton team at just 24 and becoming the youngest chairman in F1 history. Under his leadership, the team won two drivers’ championships with Michael Schumacher and the 1995 constructors’ title.
