    Rick Astley's Story: The Trauma That Forced Me On Stage (E373)

    At the height of global stardom, Rick Astley made the decision to step away from fame. In this deeply honest conversation, he opens up about the anxiety and fear that came with constant travel, the unhealthy coping mechanisms it triggered, and why leaving the spotlight was the only way to reconnect with himself. Rick reflects on the drive for financial security that fuelled his career, the realisation that fame is ultimately “a lovely nonsense,” and why the true reward has always been the joy of connecting with people through music, not public recognition. He also shares how therapy and emotional honesty helped him process those experiences and build a more authentic life. This is a rare glimpse behind the curtain of fame, and a powerful reminder of what really matters when the noise fades. 🚨 Partners Heights 👉 Get 20% off your subscription by using Code: HP20 here: https://highpfrmc.com/heights1 HP Foundation 👉Do you want to kick-start an evolution that will change the lives of millions of children?

    Why Giving Is Actually Good For Your Health, with Richard Osman

    Richard Osman is known for his wit, his bestselling novels, and his sharp eye for detail. But behind it all is a simple guiding habit: tip generously. For Richard, it’s never just about money. Growing up tall and often feeling different gave him a deep sense of empathy, and over time he realised that generosity, whether through money, time, kindness, or attention, isn’t an extra, it’s essential. It’s how we connect, build trust, and shape the kind of people we want to be. In this episode, we explore what Richard’s philosophy of generosity can teach us about leadership, empathy, and happiness. Together, we explore: Why empathy often comes from our differencesHow generosity builds trust and connectionThe science of giving and why it makes us happierWhy small, everyday acts can shape who we becomeHow leaders and teams can practise “tipping generously” Because high performance isn’t only about discipline and drive, it’s also about compassion, empathy, and the quiet strength of lifting others as we go. Here is more information on the studies referenced:  Spending money on others promotes happiness (Dunn, Aknin & Norton, 2008)What we get when we give (Harvard Medicine, 2023)Self-Determination Theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development, and well-being (Deci & Ryan, 2000)Influencing value priorities and increasing well-being: The effects of reflecting on intrinsic values (Lekes, Hope, Gouveia, Koestner & Philippe, 2012) Listen to the full episode with Richard Osman: https://pod.fo/e/26ea40 Hosted on Acast.

    Roman Kemp: Football’s Role in the Fight for Men’s Mental Health (E372)

    Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50, yet the stigma around mental health still keeps too many silent. In this episode, Roman Kemp opens up to Jake and Damian about his own battles with depression, the devastating loss of his best friend, and why talking openly about suicidal thoughts can save lives. Motivated by personal tragedy, Roman has turned his pain into action. He discusses the new initiative he’s designed alongside Tottenham CEO Vinai Venkatesham for the Premier League – Together Against Suicide, connecting football clubs with local charities, creating spaces where men feel safe enough to speak. He also reflects on the strength of family support, and the role both football and community can play in changing the conversation. This episode is a raw, heartfelt call to break the silence, challenge the stereotypes, and create real, accessible help for those who need it most. Need Support?

    The Defining Moment That Changed Usain Bolt's Approach to Failure

    When most people think of Usain Bolt, they see the medals, the world records, the effortless dominance. But his journey wasn’t built on winning, it was built on losing. At the Athens Olympics in 2004, Bolt crashed out in the first round. It was a painful wake-up call, but also the turning point of his career. With the guidance of coach Glen Mills, he learned the habit that would define his legacy: “you have to learn how to lose before you can learn how to win.” In this episode, I share what I took from Bolt’s story about truth, resilience, and growth. Together, we explore: Why losing reveals more than winning ever canHow honest self-reflection accelerates progressThe role of setbacks in building resilienceWhy Glen Mills’s philosophy shaped Bolt’s careerHow to turn failure into the raw material for success Here is more information on the studies referenced:  Winning Isn’t Everything: Mood and Testosterone Regulate the Cortisol Response in Competition (Zilioli, S., Watson, N.V., 2013)Mindset, The New Psychology of Success (Carol Dweck, 2019) Listen to the full episode with Usain Bolt: https://pod.fo/e/279623 Hosted on Acast.

    Boris Becker: Surviving Prison, My Truth & Rebuilding Life (E371)

    Boris Becker is one of tennis’s most iconic figures, a prodigy who won Wimbledon at just 17, a champion who reached the sport’s highest peaks, and a man who has faced extraordinary highs and devastating lows both on and off the court. In this episode, Boris reflects on the mindset that drove him to success so early in life, the pressure of living in the global spotlight, and the personal challenges that tested his resilience. He speaks candidly about the sacrifices behind sporting greatness, the mental and emotional toll of fame, and what it takes to rebuild after public setbacks. Boris also shares how he’s learned to balance ambition with perspective, why health and discipline remain central to his daily life, and what he now understands about passion, identity, and purpose beyond winning. This is an intimate, thought-provoking conversation with a sporting legend who has lived at the very edge of triumph and adversity.  🚨 Partners Heights 👉 Get 20% off your subscription by using Code: HP20 here: https://highpfrmc.com/heights1 Tide 👉 Free £50?

They unpack the difference between being nice and being kind, showing why true kindness sometimes means honesty, boundaries, and even uncomfortable conversations.
