  • Boy George: Meet The Real George O'Dowd (E307)
    Nov 21 2024

    Boy George is the iconic frontman of Culture Club, celebrated for much more than his flashy style and soulful voice. Known for breaking boundaries in music and fashion, he became a symbol of self-expression in the '80s and is still going strong. Behind his unique look and bold personality is George O’Dowd, a man with stories of resilience, creativity, and self-discovery.


    In this episode, George sits down with Jake and Damian to reveal the real person behind the fame. He shares memories of his early days and how challenging family dynamics, especially with his father, shaped who he is today. George also talks openly about his battles, from traumatic childhood experiences to struggles with addiction, and how each has led to valuable lessons in his life.


    He dives deep into his philosophy of mind, thought, and consciousness, the core principles he credits with keeping him grounded and thriving. He also explains how he’s learned to handle public criticism, stay true to himself, and navigate life’s chaos. From joining his first band to forming Culture Club, George reflects on the magic of his musical journey and what made Culture Club so successful in a time of fast-changing culture.


    With an honest look at the ups and downs, George offers insights on resilience, the importance of personal growth, and learning from both triumphs and mistakes. This episode is a powerful exploration of finding courage and embracing authenticity in the face of life’s toughest challenges.

Fabulous story, great messages

Just listened to the high performance podcast with Michelle Mone (who I'd never heard of before). Some great insights- with the key messages to life being, 1. You only get one life, live it 2. Expect frustration, upsets and challenges will be part of life but believe in yourself to overcome them. 3. Learn to love yourself, happiness is more important than money 4. Only care in what your friends and family think of you and seek positive people to be around. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday

Best thing to happen to me all year

I have recently discovered the High performance podcast, I listen to an episode every morning and every evening on my commute. When I reach the last episode I will start from the beginning again because there is a golden nugget in each and every episode.

My commute is now my second favourite time of the day after greeting my kids at the door.

I have started to take 100% responsibility for everything that I do and that happens to me, I have found my real values and I make sure that every decision I make aligns with them, this has brought me fulfillment and happiness already after only a couple of weeks. It is invigorating and pushes me to fully engage in everything that I do.

This podcast is not only interesting and entertaining but it is inspirational and everyone can learn from every episode.

I will never waste another second of my life because if I am not busy doing something I will be listening to Jake and Damian.
