The second episode includes more insights and anecdotes from Damian Hughes, author of 5 Steps To A Winning Mindset, where he goes deeper into values in action, behaviours and reconfirms the importance of culture at the heart of any team - either in sport or business.

This has been one of the most fascinating conversations I've had during the short time I have been doing the Shift Control podcast - mirroring my feelings about the 5 Steps to A Winning Mindset.

Damian has an ability to break down the complex into manageable and easy-to-understand chunks.

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I did recording it.

Cheers Damian
