400 Episodes: The Conversations That Changed Us
4/15/202646 min
High Performance just passed 400 episodes. To mark it, producer Will puts Jake in the hot seat — not for a highlights reel, but to go deep on the conversations that actually changed him.
Which guest challenged him most personally? Which episode stayed with him? What happened in the room with Jonny Wilkinson that nobody heard? Why did Dame Stephanie Shirley's words make him rethink the entire purpose of the show? And what was the episode that left him completely broken down on camera?
Jake also reveals the show that High Performance almost was instead — and why that origin story still shapes every interview he walks into.
Episodes mentioned in this conversation:
- Jonny Wilkinson https://pod.fo/e/9cca4
- Dame Stephanie Shirley https://pod.fo/e/16a443
- Danny Gray https://pod.fo/e/145c8a
- Paul Gascoigne https://pod.fo/e/3917fd
- Claire Williams https://pod.fo/e/2b956b
- Dr Chris Van Tulleken https://pod.fo/e/24d790
If you're new to High Performance, this is the best place to start. If you've been here since the beginning, this one's for you.

Unfortunately, big wireless companies seem to like keeping my money too, and after years of overpaying for wireless, I finally got tired of those high wireless bills, the extra fees, the so-called free perks that actually cost more in the long run. So I decided to switch to Mint Mobile. Mint helps you save money on your phone bill. Plans start at just fifteen bucks
