Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
Two weeks ago we published episode 200 of the High Performance Human podcast. I thought it would be fun to look back at those conversations and see if I could pick out some key lessons. As you would imagine when you speak with smart people, each of them at the top of the tree in their chosen field, there were a lot of lessons but some kept appearing in my list.
In today's solo podcast, I’ll outline the 5 lessons and dive a bit deeper, highlighting some of the guests who talk about their importance.
The 5 lessons are
One more thing that I have come to realise is this. The 200+ podcasts have been a tremendous source of knowledge and learning from a wide variety of people. In time I’ll try to disseminate more of these lessons, but for now, please enjoy this podcast and possibly reflect upon how you can or already do apply each of these 5 to everything that you do.
You’ll be amazed how the approach to a complex life or sport like triathlon can be made remarkably simple.
During this episode I reference a large number of previous podcasts. Each of them is listed below under the key lesson. However, if you do take time to listen again you may find that the podcast in question has lessons that fall into each of the other categories.
