Habits of High Performers Podcast with James Laughlin

In this episode I sit down with Tom Wall, retirement planning expert and author of Permission to Spend, to explore how we can build long-term wealth, plan for retirement and create the financial freedom to truly enjoy the life we've worked so hard for.

Tom shares why building wealth is only half the equation, and why so many people struggle to spend their money once they reach retirement. We discuss the importance of consistent investing, how to protect ourselves against financial uncertainty and why having the right strategies in place can give us the confidence to enjoy our wealth without worrying about running out.

What we cover:

Why consistency and compound interest are key to building long-term wealth
How to calculate how much money you'll need to retire comfortably
The importance of diversification and having cash available when opportunities arise
How insurance and annuities can help protect your wealth and provide financial security
Why giving yourself permission to spend is just as important as building wealth

Whether you're just starting your investment journey, planning for retirement or already enjoying the wealth you've created, this conversation offers practical insights to help you make smarter financial decisions, protect your future and live a life without financial regret.

In this episode I sit down with Katie Hardie, health and performance expert, to explore why recovery, nutrition and nervous system regulation are essential to performing at our best.

Katie shares why so many high performers struggle with low energy, poor sleep and burnout, even when they're doing everything they think they should be. We discuss how chronic stress impacts our bodies, why pushing harder isn't always the answer and how small changes to our daily habits can make a significant difference to our health and performance.

What we cover:

Why recovery is just as important as hard work when it comes to high performance
How chronic stress affects our hormones, sleep and energy levels
Simple daily habits to regulate our nervous system and improve recovery
How nutrition and gut health influence our mood, focus and performance
Why listening to our body's signals can help us make better choices for our health

Whether you're struggling with energy, feeling constantly switched on or simply looking to improve your health and performance, this conversation offers practical insights to help you work with your body rather than against it.

In this episode I sit down with Jodie Jackson, neuroconditioning expert and author, to explore how we can train our minds to think, feel and perform at a higher level.

Jodie shares how our thoughts, beliefs and behaviours become automatic patterns, and how we can intentionally rewire those patterns to work for us rather than against us.

What we cover:

What neuroconditioning is and how it can improve performance
How what we consume shapes the way we think, feel and behave
Why repetition, emotional intensity and recovery are key to rewiring the brain
How to challenge limiting beliefs and build more empowering ones
The power of visualisation and asking, “What if it actually works?”
How journaling can help us reflect on the past and intentionally create our future
Why asking “What would need to be true?” can shift us from problems to possibilities

Whether you want to build greater confidence, perform better under pressure or simply become more intentional about the way you think, this conversation offers practical tools to help you train your mind to work for you.
