James Timpson is the CEO of Timpson, a business that has been in his family for over 150 years. James helped grow Timpson to over 2100 shops, and developed several innovative ways to run the business at a time when traditional High Street retailing has suffered.

James pioneered the recruitment of ex-offenders, to the extent that Timpson now employs over 600 prison leavers (this is over 10% of the Company).

Back in Series 5 we were extremely fortunate to spend an afternoon with the incredible Adam Peaty.

Adam wrote his name into the history books once again as he powered to 100m breaststroke gold in Tokyo to become the first British swimmer to defend an Olympic title.

In the full episode we spoke about his intense focus on mental skills to allow his physical gifts to flourish. His use of visualising the waiting room before entering the arena, his refusal to engage in blame and his approach to developing bulletproof self-belief are all techniques we can apply in our world.

In this featured clip Adam speaks about the importance of balance in your life to be able to perform at your best.

Today we are returning to a very special episode from the beginning of 2021, when we were lucky enough to chat to mountaineer Nims Purja. Since then, Nims’ incredible documentary: 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible has been released on Netflix, following Nims as he takes on the quest to summit all 14 of the world's 8,000-meter peaks in just seven months. To celebrate Nims’ success, we wanted to re-release this episode, sharing with you all of the insights, moments of inspiration and wisdom he imparted during our conversation. 

Nims had a dream to become a Ghurka like his fathers and brothers before him. He made that dream a reality when he was 18. Six years later he became the first-ever Gurkha to join the UK Special Boat Service, regarded as the most elite unit in the military. 

Nims set himself a challenge to be the fastest person to climb the world's 14 highest peaks over 8,000m. The previous record for this achievement was 8 years. Nims Purja did it in 6 months. A team of 10 Sherpas led by Nims has just smashed one of the last great remaining prizes in mountaineering – the ascent of K2 during the winter season.

Enjoy this extended re-release of Nim's episode - Dream big and always believe that anything's possible!

Former FBI hostage negotiator and author Chris Voss joined us for E67 educating us on how to be a world class communicator. 

One of the most profound pearls of wisdom of the enlightening chat was also the simplest: just listen. 

We talk at around 150 words a minute yet are capable of listening to around 600 words in the same period. Our brains are often thinking ahead, planning our response. Slowing down our thinking and really engaging with the other person is saying is both a compliment and adds to our own competitive advantage.

Lee Child (aka James Dover Grant CBE) is an author, most well known for his thriller series Jack Reacher. The novels follow Jack, a former American military policeman, who ambles around the United States. The series has sold over 100 million copies, selling 9 books every second.

Lee Child was born in Coventry, went to law school in Sheffield and after part-time work in the theatre, he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director. But Lee was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate restructuring. He decided to throw all those years of television experience behind writing a thriller, spent £3.99 on some paper and pencils, sat down to write a book, Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series.

Reacher launches on Prime Video on 4th February.

Tom Daley, one of Britain’s most recognised sportsmen, joined us for Ep5 and spoke about how his feelings of being different growing up gave him the strength to succeed. 

Tom’s fame transcends his sport - he lost his father to cancer in 2011, publicly came out as gay, got married, had a baby and has became a key spokesperson for LGBT+ rights. His example has shown that all forms of difference can lead us to be more empowered, and self-assured.

In October 2018, Glenn collapsed on the set of BT Sport on his 61st birthday suffering a cardiac arrest and required a quadruple bypass.

This bitesize clip focuses on how Dan came across his own personal purpose in life. How he wanted to be an All Black and add to the legacy. The All Blacks call it their ‘Whakapapa’ - looking back at where you’ve come from to know where you’re going. 

Listen to the full episode where Dan showed just what you can achieve when you set ambitious goals, have self-belief, and relentlessly pursue the skills to help you achieve them.

Russell Kane is a writer, comedian and actor, he’s best known for his stand-up specials and his appearances on panel shows. Russell shared that he believes “everyone… has an amazing skill and talent, however not everyone has the ability or luck to find it". He takes us through his challenging journey of finding success, from living in a mother and baby shelter to his life now. 

He discusses his relationship with his father and what effect it has had on the way he parents his children. His house is a space for his children to be free and happily express themselves, rather than how Russell was not encouraged to do what he wanted. Russell speaks about how his dad always expected something to be bad, rather than allowing himself to experience happiness. 

Russell shares his winning formula for success: hard work + sacrifice x joy.

This episode was filmed on The High Performance Live Tour in Manchester.

On the day (Wednesday 1st June) of the emotional World Cup play-off game between Scotland vs Ukraine, we revisit an edited version of our conversion with Scotland manager Steve Clarke. The game was postponed in March after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so this is the first competitive match Ukraine have been able to play since the declaration of war.

Steve's greatest achievement has been reversing the years of underperformance of the national football team, taking them to their first major tournament in over 20 years, and determined for them not to be one tournament wonders. Steve is searing in his honesty and inspiring with his humility. Listen to Steve explain how he's preparing his team for one of the most important games in their history.

This podcast was recorded live at the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh.
