    Creating Good Days

    High performance doesn’t have to mean chasing perfection. Your best days often leave clues: good sleep, meaningful work, movement, the right people and time to switch off. Instead of overcomplicating performance, identify what makes your good days good, then deliberately create more of those conditions in your week.

    Borrowing From Tomorrow

    High performers are often brilliant at borrowing energy from tomorrow to get more done today. While pushing hard can create opportunities, constantly operating this way eventually reduces our capacity. Sustainable performance means knowing when to push, when to recover, and how to deliberately put energy back so you’re ready to perform again.

    Give Yourself An Update

    High performers often rely on the same behaviours that created their success: working harder, taking responsibility and maintaining relentless standards. But as life and leadership evolve, performance must evolve too. This episode explores why getting to the next level may not require doing more, but knowing what to stop doing.

    Your Competitive Advantage

    Most people believe high performers succeed because they work harder. The reality is they recover better. In this episode, David explores why sleep is the ultimate competitive advantage, how elite performers like Novak Djokovic and LeBron James prioritise recovery, and why sustainable high performance depends on pushing hard and recovering just as hard.

    The Athlete's Mindset

    The world's best athletes don't rely on motivation, they build an identity that makes high performance automatic. In this episode, David explores why your habits are shaped by who you believe you are, how identity drives behaviour, and how making small daily decisions can help you become the leader you aspire to be.

    Beyond The Performance

    In this episode, David is joined by Hugh Bird, Head of Vehicle Suspension and Trackside Support at Oracle Red Bull Racing, to explore two of the most powerful habits behind elite performance. Together, they discuss why Formula One's debrief process is fundamental to continuous improvement and how high-performing teams learn from every experience without blame. Hugh also shares how he developed a personal framework to measure the quality of his own performance, even when race results didn't reflect the team's efforts. It's a fascinating conversation about learning, accountability and focusing on the things you can control.

    Turning Up or Showing Up

    Are you Turning Up or Showing Up? There's a difference between simply being present and making a meaningful contribution. In this episode, discover why sustainable high performance is built through consistent intent, presence and daily standards, not occasional moments of motivation. The question you need to ask each day is: Are you turning up, or truly showing up?
