Georgie + Ben Ainslie chat to people in high performance partnerships from sport, entertainment, business and politics in this new podcast. They talk about success + failure, highs + lows and how to overcome all sorts together. What these people know about performance is worth knowing (and sharing).
“In my head I thought, we’ve been farming for 12,000 years as a species, it must be in our DNA by now. It’s like eating, breathing, having sex, you don’t have to be taught how to do it, it’s just obvious. I really thought you just go along, put seeds in the ground, some weather was going to happen and then you’ll get food, how hard can it be? I’ve been staggered at how difficult it is.”

“My end goal is to buy my own farm. That is where the dream is. The day I wake up on my own farm, walk out the front door and go 'that field there, I’m going to plant wheat in it', not because somebody tells me to but simply because I want to, that is when the dream is complete.”
