How High Performers Sustain Success Across Business, Health & Life
Success isn’t a one-time event—it’s a system.
If you look at the highest performers across business, sports, and life, you’ll notice one thing: they don’t just work harder, they work smarter. They build habits, routines, and networks that allow them to scale their success without burning out.
The problem? Most people only focus on one area—business growth, fitness, or personal development—while neglecting the others. They optimise for short-term wins instead of building a foundation for sustainable high performance.
So how do you win in business AND life—without sacrificing your health, relationships, or long-term success?
The best way? Learn from those who’ve already done it.
Think Like an Elite Athlete
Athletes don’t reach the top by going at it alone. They surround themselves with the best information, equipment, and coaches—ensuring they’re always operating at peak performance.
For people like you and me, this same principle applies. But instead of training facilities and world-class coaches, what does peak performance look like?
✅ Systems – The right habits and frameworks to operate at your best.
✅ Community – A peer group that pushes you forward.
✅ Learning from Experts – Access to insights from those who have already mastered the game.
This is exactly what The Komo Club provides—a place for high performers to optimise across every area of life, not just their careers.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce the first six speakers for The Komo Club—leaders who have built success at the highest level and will be sharing their insights with our first cohort.
Here’s what we can learn from them:
Six Lessons From World-Class Performers
1️⃣ Long-Term Thinking and Giving Back Are the Real Endgame – Daniel Petre
Daniel Petre AO has been a leader in business and technology for over 35 years, working alongside Bill Gates at Microsoft HQ and co-founding AirTree Ventures, Ecorp, and Netus. But today, his focus has shifted towards philanthropy and long-term impact through StartGiving, where he helps high-net-worth individuals give more effectively.
💡 Lesson: Success isn’t just about accumulation—it’s about contribution. The highest performers don’t just think about their next milestone; they think about the legacy they leave behind.
2️⃣ Strength is the Foundation of Longevity – Cam Falloon
Cam is the Founder & CEO of BFT, one of the world’s leading group strength training businesses with 700+ studios across 11 countries. Before that, he worked with teams in the EPL, AFL, and even as Princess Diana’s personal trainer.
🏋️ Lesson: Your body is your business. If you’re not prioritising strength, endurance, and recovery, you’re cutting years off your career (and your life).
3️⃣ Mental Fitness is Just as Important as Physical Fitness – Jane Martino
Jane has built and exited multiple companies, co-founded Smiling Mind (with over 9.3M app downloads & 14M young people reached globally), and now helps individuals reach their full potential through Kintsugi Way.
🧠 Lesson: Your thoughts shape your outcomes. Train your mind like you train your body—mindfulness and mental resilience are competitive advantages in business and life.
4️⃣ Think Like an Athlete to Perform at Your Peak – Tyler Martin
Tyler competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics as part of the Australian Senior Water Polo Team before transitioning into entrepreneurship and investing. Now, as a venture partner at Athletic Ventures, he helps elite athletes and operators build wealth beyond their playing careers.
🌊 Lesson: High performance isn’t just about talent—it’s about systems, discipline, and recovery. The best athletes don’t just train hard, they train smart. Founders and executives need to apply the same principles to business and life.
5️⃣ Your Health is Your Leadership Edge – Dean Swan
As VP & GM APJ at monday.com, Dean has led his region from $0 to $100M in revenue. But his biggest transformation wasn’t just in business—it was in his personal health. After losing 20kg, he realised that better health = better leadership.
🔥 Lesson: You can’t lead at your best if you’re running on empty. Prioritise sleep, movement, and nutrition—not just business goals.
6️⃣ Data-Driven Health = Better Performance & Longevity – Dr. Steven Lu
Dr. Steven Lu has been a doctor for over 15 years and is a leader in personalised and preventative health. As Co-founder & Chief Medical Office of Everlab, he focuses on using data and insights to tailor health strategies for individuals—helping high performers optimise their energy, recovery, and longevity.
🧬 Lesson: Generic health advice isn’t enough. The future of peak performance lies in personalized, data-driven health strategies—ones that give you the exact insights needed to perform better, recover faster, and extend longevity.
Final Thought: Founders Need to Think Like Athletes
Athletes don’t reach the top alone. They have:
✅ The best systems – A framework to sustain peak performance.
✅ The best community – A team that pushes them forward.
✅ The best coaching – Learning from experts who have already mastered the game.
For founders, executives, and high performers, it’s the same.
That’s exactly why we built The Komo Club—a place where you can optimise every area of life while learning from the best.
