In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, I’m joined once again by Dr. James Hewitt, a pioneering human performance scientist and thought leader in high-performance and well-being. Known for his work with Formula 1 teams, Fortune 500 companies, and endurance athletes, James combines insights from neuroscience, psychology, and sports science to offer practical strategies for sustainable peak performance.



In this brilliant conversation, we explore what it truly means to "major in the minors" and how many high performers lose sight of core fundamentals in pursuit of the next best thing. We dive into the foundation of self-determination theory, focusing on autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and why these elements are critical for motivation. James also discusses concepts like Chronotype Bias, the impact of character strengths, and the importance of self-compassion and socialization on performance and overall well-being.



James shares fascinating insights on avoiding "precision bias" and how influencers often use it to sound more credible, sometimes leading people down unproductive paths. We touch on integrating well-being with business success, the role of endurance principles in corporate environments, and new trends in human performance science.



Whether you’re a leader, athlete, or simply looking to improve your life, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you thrive in all aspects. Don't miss out on this valuable discussion that will leave you rethinking what it takes to reach your full potential!
