On a Mission Podcast

Martin ‘50 Cal’ Stapleton is a Former Royal Marines Commando & MMA World Champion that now fills the position of Head Coach at SBG Rochdale where he is cultivating the next generation to come through the ranks.

In this candid interview, Stapes goes deep into how he has used his vast experience of life in the MMA World, and in War Zones across the globe to help him to create an unbreakable mindset in himself and his students.

From start to finish, this interview is packed with value. Martin is definitely a man ‘On a Mission’ and I know this will be a hugely popular episode 🔥

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Goals and ambitions always seem daunting at the outset, but the key to success is in incremental gains. Take each day as it comes and focus on finishing the step you're on.

There is a value in being physically fit, but unless you can also temper it with mental strength, then your capabilities and potential will always be limited. Mindset is everything.

Our personal achievements are fleeting, but the real legacies are built when we help others. By enabling them and nurturing them into being their best, we create true impact and lasting positivity.

Everything happens for a reason, but the adversities we go through are there to teach us lessons. You recognise this if you wish to grow as a person and develop the right mindset.

Advice and guidance can't ever be a one-size-fits-all thing. True mentors know that life experience, or lack of life experience, can greatly impact the way we absorb and use lessons and guidance.

BEST MOMENTS

'Take things one day at a time'

'I feel much more accomplishment from helping other people than I do from helping myself'

'Success doesn't lead to happiness. Happiness leads to success'

'I'm a big believer in "this has happened for me" instead of "this has happened to me"'

This week I’m on a mission with Ex-Special Forces soldier and star of TV's SAS: Who Dares Wins, Ollie Ollerton and it’s an absolute banger. 

Everything about this interview was so engaging. A freak childhood chimp attack that nearly cost him his life seemed to leave Ollie always chasing something seemingly unobtainable. When the Special Forces failed to fill the void that he had hoped it would, it wasn’t until Ollie’s time in counter-terrorism freeing children from a trafficking ring in Thailand, for the first time that Ollie started to discover his purpose. 

In this no-bullshit chat, Ollie opens up about his self-destructive battles with alcohol and drug addiction and his struggles with anxiety and depression which make his story so relatable. There is so much raw honest truth and valuable lessons in this interview about how Ollie has finally put his demons to bed to live a life with meaning. It’s absolute dynamite! 

A brilliant interview, definitely one of my favourites!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we step into unfamiliar territory and challenge ourselves outside of the realms of comfort, the gains can be more impactful than we realise. These gains are life-altering.

We attract the energy that we exude in life. If we expect the worst, then we attract negative energy. This is why it's vital to radiate positivity, as it will mean that we attract and harness it everywhere.

As human beings we are image driven. We strive to achieve the picture perfect existence, or attain unrealistic ideals with short term wins. What we should strive for are the wins that come through feeling. Happiness is far more important.

When you're put into a pressure situation, you lose the ability to design the perfect outcome. Your thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions become organic. You live in the moment.

BEST MOMENTS

'The ethos of Break Point is to take that short term step into discomfort for long term gain'

'Where focus goes, energy glows'

'We should have goals that stretch us. They should excite us, but scare us at the same time'

'I want to help as many people as possible to come from a place that's dark and horrible, to a place that's good'

Everyone, in every line of work, has to sell at some point. To get your way in life and in business, you will have to sell, persuade, negotiate, present and make a convincing case on WHY you, your ideas or your products are better than a competitor’s.

Those who can get the most attention, maximise that moment of opportunity and then successfully SELL, are the winners which is something this weeks guest knows only too well.

Matt Elwell is the founder of the Elite Closing Academy, dedicated to entrepreneurs, business owners and sales teams who want to dramatically increase their sales without coming across as hard sell, pushy or manipulative.

Matt is on a mission to change the perception of the sales industry itself which he believes needs to be completely revolutionised, we also discuss how personality types can impact your success in sales, how human instincts can impact a client's desire to buy, and why turning visions into realities should be at the heart of all sales.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you're looking to make a difference, and as long as you're open to learning, then any personality can do it'

'There's a lot of fear around exchanging money and contracts'

'People are looking for certainty. They're looking for structure. I teach people to create a service or product that's really comprehensive'

'Once they're attached to the vision, all we need to provide in the service in order to get them there'

Mattias Desmet is recognised as the world’s leading expert on the theory of mass formation as it applies to the COVID-19 pandemic. He is a professor of clinical psychology in the Department of Psychology and Educational Sciences at Ghent University (Belgium) and a practising psychoanalytic psychotherapist. His work has been discussed widely in the media, including on The Joe Rogan Experience and in Forbes, The New York Post, Salon.com, and Fox News, among hundreds of other outlets.

This week Mattias joins me to talk about the startling truth behind the lies told in academic and scientific research, and the terrifying ways in which we as a society are gradually slipping into mass formation - a dangerous, collective type of hypnosis—as we bear witness to loneliness, free-floating anxiety and fear, giving way to censorship, loss of privacy, and surrendered freedoms.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The scientific methods currently being used do not allow valid and reliable conclusion drawing. Up to 85% of published research is false.

Mass formation is a specific group dynamic, and historical examples permeate history including The Crusades, witch hunts, and the French revolution. The main characteristics are that impact occurs most strikingly at the individual level of functioning.

Modern mass formation since the end of the 19th century, has become far longer lasting than those of history. This is largely due to the rise in technology, and the ability to share imagery, narrative and bias through the mass media.

Going against mass thinking provokes a sense of loneliness, and in response, we can search for our own version of the narrative. However, in these cases, if we move too far towards conspiracy thinking, then it simply creates a new form of mass formation.

BEST MOMENTS

'The danger of the virus was overrated'

'Academic research is plagued by a tragedy of errors'

'I don't think you can understand what makes people so prepared to buy into narratives that are blatantly wrong'

'When someone is in the grip of mass formation, he becomes blind to everything that goes against the narrative the group believes in'

'The mass media are an accessory to modern mass formation'

Jean-Pierre De Villiers is an Inspirational Speaker, Mental Performance Coach, Author and Plant-based Athlete, who coaches people on how to tap into their full potential and perform at their best by transforming their body, mind and spirit.

On this week’s episode of the On a Mission podcast, JP talks about how to preserve and maximise your energy, why our spirits need as much nourishment as our minds and bodies, how compassion can change the world, and how, in the aftermath of a tragic event, he found the inner resilience to not just come back fighting, but to succeed even harder.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You can have an extraordinary mind and body, but still want to cause harm to others. This is because of our spirit, and how healed we are. We will never outgrow our own wounds.

When life is too full or too overwhelming and busy, it means that we do not have room to grow. We need to give ourselves room to develop in life through whatever means possible.

It takes far too much energy to stop and complain about the moment you're in. Instead, look at what your next movie will be and figure out how to get there.

The true definition of happiness is to be extremely satisfied with the shape of your life and where it; heading. It is to be content and to know with grace who you are becoming.

BEST MOMENTS

'Before it was about doing whatever it takes. Now it's about thinking whatever it takes, being whatever it takes, forgiving and doing it whatever it takes'

'How do we know we're growing, and how do we know we're contributing?'

'Every problem in the world is because of a lack of compassion'

'WYNM: What's your next move?'

Ashley is the definition of a success story; having only established his personal brand in 2021, the trajectory of his life has gone through the roof. He has taken the business world by storm, transforming his own life and those of many others, but the true value of this interview is Ashley’s definition of what it really means to win in life. 

In this brutally honest, high-energy show, we talk candidly about Ashley’s extraordinary mission and how we came back from financial ruin to successfully grow businesses to 6, 7 & 8 figures and work alongside The Princes's Trust, NatWest, Microsoft, London Met Uni, Channel 4, H.M. Government and many more.

This inspirational episode is not to be missed; enjoy 😊. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Using the power of social media in order to accelerate your brand requires a whole new mindset. Many see it as a distraction or way to keep in contact with loved ones, but it also contains an innate power to reach the eyes and minds of potential customers across the planet if used correctly.

In life, people often see the surface of a person, or the results they have achieved, but fail to grasp the fact that these results took time and hard work. This is why winners are drawn to each other - they recognise the journey.

People want instant gratification from what they do in life. The issue is that instant results don't teach you anything. You learn invaluable lessons from the journey itself.

Education comes best through community. There's never a need to withhold the formula to success from others. Listen to the wisdom of others and give it freely when asked. This is how we make the world a better place.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you cannot be seen and you cannot be heard, you will be forgotten about'

'If you show up as yourself then you cannot go wrong. You will retract the people you don't want around you, and attract the right people to you'

'My mission is to give someone actionable, tangible content by bringing experts of their field in to educate a community of business owners to take them to the next level'

'Relationships are the highest form of currency'

Jon Truett has worked with the SAS, world-renowned for their elite training and specialist skills in counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, direct action and covert reconnaissance.

After over twenty years of service, Jon has since turned his considerable skill sets towards business, acting as a speaker, consultant, and high-pressure problem solver but he talks candidly about the darker side of leaving the service after giving it his undivided attention for so long. 

There are few others who know more about the ways in which we can deliver complex solutions under pressure, and in this candid show, Jon talks about the methods used by the military in instilling a bulletproof mindset, the role of trust in becoming a successful soldier, and how to develop a specialised mindset - one that can see us through any challenge. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In order to become the best of the best, you have to develop a resilience that lasts a lifetime. It requires a suit of mental armour that can withstand anything.

Part of becoming a soldier is developing the trust in the powers above, and believing that the situations they ask you to become a part of are for the common good.

In life we go through challenging, dark times. When something tough in our personal lives happen, we get through them by focussing on the positive things that are taking place.

The majority of things can be reconciled when the intentions behind it are pure, but there also must be accountability when misinformation has guided a decision.

BEST MOMENTS

'There's trust and there's acceptance'

'All of your key challenges in life will come from your personal life'

'It's a unique perspective on the challenges we all share'

'The art of doing this job well is that you get up each day and go and do it again, because that is what is being asked of you'

LinkedIn savage Mike joins me for this week's episode of the On a Mission podcast, where we discuss his plight to highlight the failings in the “get rich quick” industry and how it’s resulted in legal battles with those trying to silence him. 

In this week's show, we talk about how working-class Mike went from being a bored multimillionaire having built and sold a business for £8m within three years, to waging war on the wealth creation industry.

Mike and his team created the Contrepreneur YouTube series that touched a few nerves as it was watched by millions of viewers and exposed some of the dirty tricks used to prey on people's vulnerabilities.

Mike and I haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything, but we have a lot of commonalities as well and it was great to meet him in person for this no holds barred chat! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Visualisation and belief can make measurable differences to the level of success you achieve. By embracing this is as a practice, we increase our chance of success.

There is never a substitute for real world experience. We learn far more, and develop far faster, when we take control of the issues in our life and face them ourselves.

People who are the most desperate for answers and guidance towards their own versions of success, are being unfairly targeted by "experts" who promise results that they have not yet even achieved for themselves.

The wealth creation industry operates in a grey area, and until regulation is brought in, will continue to sell hollow promises to people who do not know better. The results very rarely justify the costs.

BEST MOMENTS

'Their 9 to 5 job is telling you to quit your 9 to 5 job'

'I just felt I knew just enough to give this a really good go'

'Luck plays a significant part in any big success'

'The wealth creation industry should be regulated'

Study hard, get a good job and pay down your mortgage so you can enjoy retirement. Sound familiar?

Our competition winner Andre shares with us what motivated him to leave the comfort and security of his well-paid job in the NHS to become a full-time property investor. Within his first year, he has built a property portfolio worth over £1.5 million, and the best is yet to come!

In this episode, Andre shares how he built the inner resilience and mindset required in order to achieve success, and how true success in business comes not from the accumulation of wealth, but in the pursuit of the freedom to live a balanced life.

If you have a story worth sharing and you’d like the opportunity to appear on the On a Mission podcast then we want to hear from you. Check out the link in the show notes to apply. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Material possessions, or the accumulation of money should never be the ultimate goal that drives us onwards. Instead, aim for the freedom to live the life you want to live.

The most crucial part of becoming a property investor is to let people know what you do. It may be daunting at first, but the more we tell people what we do, the more opportunities that will come our way.

High achievers in life are the most persistent in society. They recognise the fact that results don't come instantly. In order to reach the top you must persist and be resilient.

When you reach a certain level of success, the temptation can be to simply repeat a process in order to achieve more. But the truly entrepreneurial ones know that mediocrity and routine are the antithesis of innovation.

BEST MOMENTS

'I needed to find a new environment where I didn't have those limiting aspects'

'My ambition is not to own a castle or a Bentley. It's to have more freedom'

'It's not what you know. It's not who you know. It's who knows you'

'Mediocrity is the enemy of greatness'
