In this high octane episode, Callum and Rebecca Jenkins discover how Saahil Mehta, an internationally renowned peak performance coach and author of Break Free, helps to declutter your life, lead with intention, and unlock your full leadership potential, in business and beyond.

Saahil shares his three-step "Break Free" process, the mindset shifts required to let go of people pleasing, and how climbing mountains has taught him how to navigate life’s biggest challenges  including those high-stakes conversations leaders often avoid.

The “7 Summits” of Personal Success:  Why leaders must define their own version of success and not borrow society’s.

Decluttering for High Performance: How to remove emotional, physical, and mental distractions to gain clarity and momentum.

From People Pleasing to Personal Power: Saahil’s breakthrough moment on a retreat that changed how he shows up in life and business.

The 5 Steps to Manage Difficult Conversations: How to address  conversations with empathy, understanding and clarity

Boardroom Lessons from the Mountains: Why preparation beats improvisation in high-pressure situations

Confidence is built by doing the hard things, and real leadership starts with self-leadership.

Leaders don’t rise to the level of their ambition, they fall to the level of their preparation.

Conversations aren’t won through force, they’re earned through empathy, clarity, and courage.

“You don’t need to react. You need to respond. That’s where the breathwork, the pause, the clarity,  it all comes in.”

“You may not know your full purpose today, but your soul should leave this life better than it entered.”
