Professor Green on Childhood Struggles, ADHD & Finding Community at Youth Zones

In this special episode, Jake Humphrey visits Future Youth Zone in Dagenham, part of the OnSide network, where he sits down with Professor Green for one of his most personal conversations yet. Reflecting on his difficult childhood, Professor Green reveals how youth clubs gave him a sense of belonging when he needed it most and why spaces like this can change the course of a young person's life. Jake also speaks to Jamie Masraff, Chief Executive of OnSide, about the life-changing work being done to support over 60,000 young people every year, and why funding raised by Postcode Lottery players is so vital in helping create more Youth Zones, giving young people access to trusted adults, opportunities and safe places to belong. Jake also meets Lily and Olivia, two inspiring young members whose stories bring that impact to life, and youth worker Stephanie, who explains why simply being heard can change a young person's future. Together, their conversations highlight why youth clubs are more than just places to spend time - they're places where young people can find confidence, connection and the chance to thrive.

How To Know When To Walk Away

Jake and Damian tackle the question nobody prepares you for: how do you actually know when it's time to walk away? Whether it's a job, a career, a relationship, or a version of yourself you've been fighting to hold onto, leaving is one of the hardest decisions any of us will ever make. But across nearly 450 conversations on High Performance, one thing keeps coming up: the people who walk away well aren't the ones who had no choice. They're the ones who knew exactly what they were walking towards. In this episode, Jake and Damian hear from: * Phil Jones on the training ground moment he knew his body had made the decision for him. * Joe Hart on what it really felt like when Pep Guardiola said he didn't fit the system. * Eddie Howe on why taking a full year out of management was the best thing he ever did, and why going straight back would have been a disaster. * Michail Antonio on turning down a top six club because the role felt wrong. * And Stuart Broad on the FaceTime call with his wife that helped him trust his gut on the biggest decision of his career. * If there's something in your life you're not sure whether to stay with or let go of, this one's for you.

What Brawn GP Never Revealed About Their F1 Miracle: Ex-CEO Nick Fry (E420)

Nick Fry bought an underperforming Formula 1 team for £1 and went on to win the World Championship. But before the historic 2009 fairy tale with Brawn GP, Nick and his wife had to face the ultimate risk: agreeing that if they lost everything, they would be perfectly content living on tinned tuna for the rest of their lives. In this episode, the former CEO of Brawn and Mercedes strips away the glamour of the paddock to share a masterclass in high-stakes leadership, belief, and crisis management. He reveals how financial pressure became a performance driver and how solving one problem at a time laid the foundation for Mercedes’ dominance. Nick also shares his thoughts on collective performance over individual ego, why hard work beats talent, and the key decisions that shaped Brawn’s rise to the top of Formula 1. This is a must-listen for anyone facing insurmountable odds, closing with a simple message from a man who lived it: “If you're gonna do it, just go for it. Don’t mess around.” Revolut Business 👉 High-performing businesses need powerful financial tools.

Stuart Broad: Ben Stokes, Bazball & The Mindset That Changed English Cricket

Ben Stokes has just announced his retirement from international cricket. And the person who can best explain what that decision truly costs — and what Stokes has meant as a captain and a human being — is Stuart Broad. Stuart retired in 2023 on his own terms: last ball, The Oval, England versus Australia. In this conversation, he tells the full story of the night he walked down the hotel corridor and knocked on Stokesy's door to tell him it was over. What happened in that room, and how he felt when he woke up the next morning, is something every leader will recognise. But this conversation goes much deeper than retirement. Stuart opens up about the T20 World Cup in Durban — the day six sixes were hit off one over, and how the humiliation changed everything. He explains the mental frameworks he quietly built over the following 16 years: warrior mode, assassin mode, the daily note-making practice that started as a cricket habit and became a life habit. And he makes a case that the game is not 80% mental — it's closer to 90. A brilliant episode on performance, legacy, and knowing when to walk away.

Why Saying No Is The Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

Jake and Damian go deep on one of the most universal struggles in high performance: why so many of us find it almost impossible to say no, and what it's actually costing us when we can't. Drawing on conversations with promoter Barry Hearn, who walked away from a £30 million deal because he didn't like the people behind it, comedian Katherine Ryan, who voluntarily gave up a career-defining TV slot so other women could have their chance, and leading psychologist Gabor Maté, who traces the roots of people-pleasing all the way back to childhood, Jake and Damian explore why saying yes to everyone else might mean saying no to yourself. They cover the science of sociotropy, the difference between "I can't" and "I don't", and why the guilt you feel when you say no is usually a sign you've got your values exactly right. Plus, the audience response to Liam Lawson's recent episode has been extraordinary. Jake and Damian reflect on why it's struck such a nerve.
