In my mind, the podcast you’re about to listen to could be the most important podcast I’ve ever recorded.

I’ll prep you, it’s a bit of an emotional roller coaster. So be warned.

The emotional highs and lows are worth it though because the lessons are the ones we all need to hear.

I haven’t stopped talking about it with my friends and family since I finished it up.

If you’ve ever wondered what really makes a good life…

…or what people really regret in their final years…

…or what most people wish they had done differently in their lives, then this is the podcast for you.

Today, I am interviewing Heath Piper, the founder of Playback Interviews.

Heath interviews the life stories of the elderly so their families have a deeply personal memoir.

Even though these interviews are strictly confidential to the families, Heath has given us an insight into the lessons that have moved him most, both emotionally and forward in life.

This podcast is rife with stories and lessons.

Before I get to the show, I want to give you a very quick update on my coaching services because things are shifting.

The Adventurepreneur Collective has evolved and has become what I’ve always been longing to coach: how to be who you’re supposed to be.

We cover three essential topics: how to stop living a life that doesn’t make you into who you’re supposed to be, how to stop feeling frantic, imprecise and rushed, and how to rid yourself of an unclear mind.

Anyway, here’s the update: I’m changing the way I deliver this coaching & making it far more of a deep experience.

I’m only working with those who apply & fit the bill, and I’m limiting the membership to 40 members at any one time. What’s more, I’m only going to be accepting 4 new sign ups per month.

The group is currently 15 strong, with another two joining in the April batch. So there’s only two more spaces to be had before May.

If you’re interested in exploring what more freedom, self mastery, and effectiveness would do in your life, shoot me a message on Instagram.

You’ll need to head to instagram and search for my name, Tom Foxley.

What does it mean to truly pursue a life of high performance, not just in the realm of physical fitness but in every aspect of our being?

In a world where the pursuit of success often leads us to neglect the very essence of who we are, finding a path that marries achievement with authenticity is more crucial than ever. It's a journey that transcends the conventional metrics of success, delving deep into the core of our personal and professional evolution.

This quest for a richer, more fulfilling life led me to Joe Parish, the visionary founder of High Performance Coach. Joe's story is a testament to the transformative power of embracing our authentic selves, pushing beyond the boundaries of comfort to forge a legacy that's not just about accolades but about genuine, impactful living.

Joe's journey into the high-performance mindset wasn't born out of a desire to start a business; it was ignited by a profound connection to his own values, ethics, and the relentless pursuit of growth. From the invaluable lessons instilled by his grandfather to the pivotal moments of self-discovery amidst adversity, Joe's path has been anything but linear. It's a narrative rich with the nuances of personal development, the importance of mentorship, and the courage to redefine success on one's own terms.

At the core of Joe's philosophy lies the understanding that high performance is not just about what we achieve but how we achieve it. It's about cultivating a life that balances ambition with well-being, where personal growth and professional excellence are not mutually exclusive but intricately connected.

In this episode, we'll dive deep into Joe's journey, exploring the pivotal moments that shaped his approach to high performance. From the transformative influence of his grandfather to the challenges and triumphs of building a business that reflects his deepest values, Joe's insights offer a roadmap to anyone seeking to elevate their life in a meaningful way.

We'll uncover:

• The foundational experiences that propelled Joe towards a life of high performance.
• The role of mentorship and community in navigating the journey towards success.
• The challenges of aligning personal values with professional ambitions.
• Strategies for maintaining balance and well-being amidst the pursuit of excellence.
• Joe's vision for the future of high-performance coaching and how it can transform lives.

Join us as we explore the essence of high performance through the lens of Joe Parish's inspiring journey. This is more than just a conversation; it's an invitation to rethink what it means to live a life of purpose, passion, and peak performance.

Here’s the great and mighty, Phil Graham

Welcome, fellow adventure seekers and entrepreneurs, to a narrative that unfolds not just a story, but a quest—a quest towards self-discovery, growth, and embracing the unpredictable path of adventure.

This journey is not for the faint-hearted. It's for those among us who crave more than the mundane, who aim to squeeze every drop of essence from the life we're given. It's a tale of transformation, marked by the highs of triumphs and the lows of challenges, all shared in the hope of inspiring and educating you, the adventurepreneur who's striving to level up.

Caught in the monotony of a comfortable existence, my spirit craved adventure, a break from the "Chino's lifestyle" of predictability. Observing friends embark on their quests, the urge for something more became irresistible. It was time for a change, especially with life's milestones on the horizon, including thoughts of starting a family.

The realisation was clear: the moment had come to pursue the dreams that truly mattered.
