THE PRODUCER: Being your own version of high performance with Jake Humphrey, Whisper

In this episode, host James Hurley, Enterprise Editor at The Times, is joined by Jake Humphrey – broadcaster, podcast pioneer and Co-Founder of Whisper, an award-winning production company.

Over the past decade, Jake has been at the forefront of coverage for major international sporting events. He is also the founder and host of The High-Performance podcast, offering an intimate glimpse into the lives of high-achieving individuals.

A highly successful broadcaster himself, in 2010 Jake made a leap of faith – cofounding Whisper alongside producer Sunil Patel and Formula One commentator David Coulthart. The company has since grown and Whisper currently produces more sports highlight shows for terrestrial TV than any other broadcaster. Not bad for someone once sacked from a fast-food job for poor communication skills!
