On a Mission Podcast

In this episode, I’m on a mission with British adventurer and endurance athlete Darren Grigas who has pushed himself to the limit by undertaking some of the most extreme challenges around the world. He now inspires others to find their limits and surpass them through delivering his message: "YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAST, OR FAR, JUST GO!"

Darren regales us with some incredible stories and the ways in which he has upgraded his mindset in order to achieve the impossible. It’s a pleasure to share with you some of the incredible adventures he's experienced, how he turned life's challenges into the fuel that accelerated his personal growth, and how he has used his own journey to inspire the journeys of others.

David Goggins has nothing on this guy. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

After suffering a physical setback, Darren applied himself to incrementally repairing the damage done, and became stronger than he had ever been before. It shows that with the right mindset we can always come back from the bottom and rise to the pinnacle of success.

If our goals are small ones then our progress will be slower. If we aim far higher than we believe we can reach, then the development we achieve through working towards this distant dream will yield far greater results.

We often profess that we do not have enough time to work on ourselves, but then waste time on trivial matters. Growth requires discipline. Always set aside time to work on yourself and stick to it.

Accountability is the best way of remaining motivated. When others are counting on us, it forces us to keep focused. When the work we do makes others proud, it urges us to do more.

BEST MOMENTS 

'It was a life-changing moment - I just opened up'

'I want to look back and say that at least I did something great - something epic'

'A massive thing that makes it easier is accountability'

'Even if I only inspire a handful of people to go and do a park run - brilliant!'

Dr. Peter McCullough is certainly a man on a mission….

Not only is he a world-renowned cardiologist and the most published physician in his field of all time, but Peter’s fierce confrontation of government policy has also made him a figurehead to millions across the world. 

Dr. McCullough has been at the forefront of the campaign around the effectiveness of the ‘strategies’ and mandates being employed globally in response to the pandemic. 

In this interview we take a deep dive into the details of the certified information that Dr. McCullough has accumulated which raises some alarming questions. 

After his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience caused a huge furore, Peter openly shares his thoughts on the campaign against Spotify that has even seen The White House wade in. 

As more and more countries across the world abandon their stringent measures, Peter shares why he believes the narrative is finally starting to crumble! 

A truly compelling interview from start to finish!

BEST MOMENTS

'So many listeners were looking at the same sources of information and coming up with the same conclusions'

'All of this is pointing to very large problems within the vaccine programme'

'I'm a car-carrying epidemiologist and I'm telling you, the vaccines are causing large numbers of deaths'

'Why would anyone want to sustain permanent heart damage as opposed to just having a common cold?'

This week I’m on a mission with Gary Das, an entrepreneur, best-selling author, a business mentor, a property investor, and the managing director of an award-winning mortgage brokerage, all while being a devoted husband and father to three young children.

In this episode we talk about the tactics he has used in order to build success, the story of how pivoted in business and started all over again, how the power of neurolinguistic programming has helped him to help others, and how greatness can only be achieved through hard work and determination.

Another unmissable episode. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If we do not have the support of our loved ones, then business risks become that much more difficult. When our businesses support our families, it becomes a joint effort to make it succeed.

When we build a business, we must remember why we are doing it. If we are hoping to achieve a better life for our families and ourselves, then it is crucial to strike a workable life balance so that we do not end up overworking and missing what's truly important.

Neurolinguistic programming is a skill set that can greatly benefit sales, but it must be used responsibly and ethically. We must approach it with a sense of wanting to help others to solve the problems they have.

There seems to be a belief in the wealth creation space that simply paying a fee will guarantee financial freedom and success. Mentors and coaches can only set you on the road towards your goals, but the work itself must be done by you. 

BEST MOMENTS 

'When you're both singing from the same hymn sheet, it makes it so much easier to make decisions and keep moving forward'

'When you do NLP, it's almost that pivotal moment'

'I believe that I can help you. I believe that I can solve your problems'

'There is no failure, there's only feedback'

This week I’m on a mission with self-made multi-millionaire Matt Fiddes, a world-renowned martial arts expert who has built a global fitness empire in over 1000 locations and was also Michael Jackson’s personal bodyguard and best friend for over ten years.

From a bullied schoolboy to earning £100K a month by the age of 18, Matt went on to travel the world as MJ’s bodyguard and shares some rare insights as to what it was REALLY like within MJ’s inner circle. We have a frank discussion about Michael’s genius, his struggles with fame, the truth behind the controversial child abuse allegations and who is really to blame for his untimely death. 

Matt’s achievements have seen him honoured at the highest level, after being inducted into the UK Martial Arts Hall of Fame and presented with the prestigious ‘Martial Arts Superstar Award’. But despite his incredible success, the road has not always been an easy one. In this episode, we talk candidly about the struggles he has faced, the challenges he has overcome, and the winning mindset he has attained along the way - one that has enabled Matt to battle back against adversity and come out fighting every time.

A truly incredible story.

BEST MOMENTS

'I had this real ambition and drive'

'I've been everywhere in the world and I've not seen anything!'

'Your network is so important - it really is'

'Offer the service and the money will be the by product'

This week, I’m on a very different mission as I find myself interviewed by my good friend and soon to be business partner, Billy Farrell, who is one of the few people who has been up close from day one of this crazy adventure. 

For the 75th episode we wanted to do something a bit different so it was my turn to be on the receiving end of the questions. In true Ellie and Billy style, we get deep and meaningful right from the start as Billy probes me for an honest and real insight into the journey. 

People look at what we have achieved within a short space of time and think it must of all been plain sailing but I often use the swan analogy. It may look elegant gliding along but what people don’t see is the hard work underneath the surface.

It’s been a rollercoaster for sure and I always try and share the lows as well as the highs (maybe too much so) but I’m so proud of what Mark Mckay and I have achieved together whilst also knowing that the best is yet to come. 

A real, raw and brutally honest interview. 

BEST MOMENTS

'Growing up I always wanted to set the world on fire. I always knew there was more'

'It feels just like a part of a story that i tell. I feel detached from it'

'It takes graft, it takes dedication, it takes discipline, a willingness to fail and to endure that failure'

'Success is very objective. it isn't defined by how many assets you've got'

This week I’m on a mission with Lea Turner, otherwise known as the Queen Of LinkedIn. Leah started to harness the power of the platform in October 2019 and now has over 128k engaged followers and over 1000 inbound clients. To say that she’s taken LinkedIn by storm is an understatement! 

Her no-nonsense, straight-talking approach has continually challenged the outdated stereotypes around who and what constitutes as a professional and is a breath of fresh air for those of us who follow her content. 

True to form, Lea calls it how she sees it throughout the interview and tells us why she doesn’t subscribe to the majority of mainstream personal development, why she won’t be in a hurry to take an ice bath anytime soon and what her plans are for the future. 

We talk frankly about how to increase your brand's visibility the RIGHT way by creating an engaged community to grow your leads. This episode is an absolute must for anyone looking to build their online profile from one of the industry’s leading experts

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Authenticity counts for a great deal. People are drawn to relatability. When we show up as ourselves, and drop the pretences, we come across as far more attractive, and so do our messages.

When we reconcile our own pain in life, we take away the power it has over us. When we use the challenges of our past as lessons, that pain becomes a tool to help others.

The downside of personal development is that many "mentors" seem to take a one-size-fits-all approach, and use platitudes that do not apply to all people. Mentorship should be a personal experience, and tailored specifically to a person's needs.

Communities that thrive and grow are the ones in which the members care not just for the creator, but also each other. Fostering this harmony between members is the role of a true leader.

BEST MOMENTS

'I decided that I'm going to do what I do with every other part of my life and be myself'

'It's hugely life-changing for a single mum'

'You take that pain and that suffering and you repurpose it to do something good for other people'

'I like to find my own way'

This week I’m on a mission with crypto legend Siam Kidd where we discuss the concept and meaning of cryptocurrency and how he went from being in the RAF pilot to earning £30k a day in passive income from his 7 figure crypto portfolio. 

In this unmissable episode, we discuss what the future holds for cryptocurrency, how NFTs work and why 99% of them should be avoided and how a possible stock market crash could be just what we need...

For anyone serious about building wealth, this is a must!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Crypto can be best described as “magic internet money”. Even traditional currency forms, these days, are simply digital numbers being moved around.

Anything has value when a certain critical mass of people believe that it is valuable. Ultimately, the price of anything is what a buyer is willing to pay, but this belief can be influenced.

Expect the unexpected when it comes to online trading, password protection and Bitcoin. We are still figuring out the rules, and it is wise to be cautious.

Always avoid dodgy websites that have numerous pop-ups as they can leave cookies and trackers on your computer that can compromise your security, and by extension, your crypto wallet. There are pieces of software that can help to protect you. 

BEST MOMENTS 

'Crypto is the only real monetary sovereignty that humans have ever had.'

'If you look at a company like Apple, you have no idea what they’re doing with their money!'

'One of the biggest incongruence is people saying “I want to be rich”…and then doing nothing about it.'

'The real world, crazy revolutionising thing with NFT’s, is not NFT’s themselves, it’s tokenization. That is a game changer.'

This week I’m on a mission with Jonathan MacDonald, an award-winning, bestselling author and one of the most in-demand keynote speakers in the world on the topics of change, digital transformation, mindset, innovation, strategy and the future.

In what turned out to be one of my favourite episodes we talk about Jonathan’s incredible success as a speaker, and the ways in which he engages with his audiences around the world, how productive paranoia can help us to overcome the challenges of tomorrow, and how the power of mind over body can create meaningful impact.

A phenomenal episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The art of presenting and public speaking remotely is one that many are embracing. it requires a whole new skill-set, but there are some advantages to appearing live on stage.

We should never be dismissive of those who are trying to help us. We must encourage those who wish to make positive change in the world.

It is essential that we look to the future often, and try to ascertain the advancements of tomorrow, so as to best plan for the ever-changing world.

Our bodies can not tell the difference between something that has actually happened to us and something we believe has happened to us. Therefore, if we believe we are ill, our bodies will react accordingly, and if we use thought for healing, our bodies will experience this.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm a fan of looking at what could disrupt you before it disrupts you'

'Productive paranoia is thinking "What could be the disruptive force for what I do?'

'When the winds of change are blowing some build a wall and others build a windmill'

'Our body organises itself around our thoughts'

In this episode, I’m on a mission with the inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, business coach and investor Craig Schulze, who specialises in helping people grow to become a market leader in their industry.

We discuss Craig’s heartfelt and tragic story of the challenges he faced after losing his first son and what that experience taught him about living a meaningful life. More determined than ever to maximise this, Craig shares how he turned the ultimate pain into something meaningful which has now helped thousands of others in the process. 

Living in Melbourne, Australia under the strictest lockdown regime in the western world, we talk candidly about how Craig has managed to keep his vibration high and continue to push forward during these challenging times. 

Another unmissable episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes skills in business and life can be secondary requirements when it comes to finding success. What matters is the will to succeed.

Mentors allow us to see ourselves from another perspective, and provide us with alternative routes towards success. Never discount the power of a constructive opinion.

Challenging moments arise from all sides and come unexpectedly. they not only alter our path, but provide a north star when it comes to reconciling new challenges we face.

When it comes to making important decisions about our lives, especially in the wake of the pandemic and its effects, it is only sensible to do one's own due diligence and to make the most informed decision we can, based upon what we judge to be right for us.

BEST MOMENTS

'Whatever I lacked in business and life skills I made up with dreams, desires and the will to do whatever it takes'

'Life is made of moments and one moment can change your life'

'If I'm going to put my heart and soul into something then it's got to be deep and meaningful to me'

'It's an incredible opportunity for us to reset the world'

He’s amazing, he’s insightful and he’s certainly a man on a mission. 

Dr. Dain is an internationally renowned author, speaker, and facilitator of consciousness and change in 176 different countries but that wasn’t always the case! 

As the Co-creator of Access Consciousness, one of the biggest personal development countries in the world, it’s hard to imagine just how much Dain’s life has evolved. With the date already predetermined to take his own life, things could have ended very differently for Dain had it not been for a chance encounter. His personal journey has inspired millions of people which is why Dain has spent over 20 years, inviting people from every culture, country, age, and social strata of society to embrace their true greatness

In this time of confusion, when people tend to focus on problems, this high energy interview brings you some fascinating insights as to why true happiness begins with loving yourself and some practical techniques to make that shift in your own life.

An unmissable episode!🎙

KEY TAKEAWAYS

By incrementally improving ourselves, we also slowly begin to change the world. What makes us lighter adds to the lightness of the world itself.

The founder of Access Consciousness discovered 32 points on the head, that if held lightly, dissipates the electromagnetic component of thought and judgement that we have around a particular topic.

The way to convince people that there might be more t life, and that accessing a new consciousness could be beneficial, is not to argue, but to demonstrate this potential happiness by living it ourselves.

When we ask questions, we open doors to new possibilities. A question is one of the secret keys to creating something different for ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's all about us being us - uniquely us'

'Once I started including myself everything started taking off in a really beautiful way'

'If it feels like this to be alive then I am in!'

'The greatest contribution that we can be to others, is to be us, and to be as happy as we can be'
