Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Podcast

High Performance Humans * Simon Ward and Toby Baxendale


Listen Later

In today’s podcast I’m back with another of my High Performance Human guests. This week it’s Toby Baxendale, who I have been coaching for almost 15 years.  We met by chance as Toby came to a bike exhibition in central London to purchase a product which I was selling, and shortly after he asked me to coach him towards his triathlon goals.  We have become good friends since then. During that time Toby has built and sold a large fish distribution business, retained a strong marriage with his wife Katherine, reared 3 healthy children, developed an investment business helping companies in the fish business around the world, and managed to train on average 8-10 hours/week, every week. Toby truly epitomises a high performance human but as you will hear during our conversation, there have been times when life did get a bit out of balance.

Listen in as we chat about:

  • Dogged determination and why you don’t need to be the best to succeed, just consistent
  • Making a success of your life when you are labelled ‘Educationally Sub Normal'
  • The law of comparative advantage
  • Paul Clayton - Health Defence
  • Book of Proverbs and how it’s so relevant to life during the COVID19 outbreak
  • Purchasing a Sloane Square nightclub at 18 years old
  • The power of listening
  • Learning to delegate, and how that led to a thirtyfold increase in turnover
  • How the book “Primal Endurance” had a profound effect on Toby’s life 
  • COVID19 exit plans and positioning for success
  • The truth behind the phrase “behind every successful man there is an even better woman"
