Saturday, 31 January, 2026
High performance isn’t exclusive to sport. Whether you’re competing on the field, court or track, or just trying to be the best you can be in life, the same principles that drive elite performance apply across industries. In this amazing opportunity, I get to sit down with Neil Mitchell AO, one of Australia’s most accomplished broadcasters, to uncover what it truly takes to stay at the top of a highly competitive profession for over four decades. Neil dominated Australian media despite relentless competition, public scrutiny, high-pressure live broadcasting and constant industry change. His career offers a unique insight into sustained excellence, mental resilience, adaptability and leadership — the exact traits required not only by elite athletes, but by any of us who are striving to be our best! In this episode, Neil breaks down the high-performance mindset that allowed him to outlast competitors, handle criticism and abuse, perform under pressure, and continually evolve while others faded. He shares real stories from some of the biggest moments in Australian media history and reflects on the habits, standards and decision-making processes that separate good performers from great ones. If you want to understand how elite performers think, adapt and stay relevant over long careers, this episode offers powerful insights we can all apply Listen now and learn how to play the long game in high performance.
