    Jan 1 2026

    In this full circle conversation, more than five years on from their first interview, Kevin sits down with the incredible author, speaker and podcast that is Professor Damian Hughes. They reflect on the evolution of the podcasting space, the power of authentic conversations, and the memorable moments that have shaped their journeys. They discuss the insights gained from various guests, the inspiration behind Damian's new book 'Micro-Habits', which is available NOW: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/476360/micro-habits-by-hughes-jake-humphrey-and-damian/9781529976205

    The discussion covers a broad range of areas, reflecting on the hundreds of guests that have featured on The High Performance Podcast over the last six years. One area in particular that was covered emphasises the significance of being present and embracing the journey rather than constantly chasing the next goal, something that can be a real challenge in today’s world. In the show they also explore the amazing Charity that Damian co-founded with his wife, The School Coat Charity, which you can find out more and donate to or apply for support here: https://theschoolcoatcharity.co.uk/
