On a Mission Podcast

This week's episode is a HUGE eye-opener. 

Dr Aseem Malhotra is one of Britain's most influential cardiologists and a world-renowned expert in the prevention of heart disease. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking. 

Dr Malhotra is also an international best-selling author and more recently an advocate against the use of other highly controversial vaccines having tragically lost his father during the pandemic. 

From appearing on Good Morning Britain assuring viewers “traditional vaccines are the safest”, to seeing the evidence and alarming links between mRNA vaccines and heart disease, he now passionately advocates for the guidance to be changed. 

In this hard-hitting episode, we talk about evidence-based medicine and highlight the World governments and Pharmaceutical companies who repeatedly prioritise their interests over public health

Dr Malhotra has been going against the conventional narrative for over a decade as he highlights the overprescription of pharmaceutical drugs and the fraudulent way that medical trials are conducted which has not been without repercussions. 

A fascinating insight into modern medicine and the murky world of Big Pharma 👀

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We've always been encouraged to learn about the world in our own way - to explore and investigate for ourselves. But these rules only seem to apply so long as we're not asking questions about the people in power.

Big pharma has now involved themselves do deeply in the murky business of selling the populace a lie, that it has no choice but to fight a secret war until they can spin their failure into victory.

We cannot hope to fight against the pernicious, murderous narratives we're being sold unless we continue to fight for freedom of information, and begin a conversation on a global scale.

There is a generally held perception that modern medicine is objective and an exact science, when in fact it's an applied science built upon shaky foundations of supposition and ever-changing variables.

BEST MOMENTS

'The cover up here is worse than the crime'

'People are dying unnecessarily'

'This is how we change the narrative'

'50% of the information taught at medical schools and foundations is obsolete within five years'

This week I speak to a trailblazer in women’s football, Lioness legend Karen Carney, MBE. Karen reflects on her phenomenal career as the third most capped England player of all time, representing Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, moving into punditry and the impact abuse from online trolls has affected her mental health.

As an elite sportsperson, who competed at a high level from a young age, retirement left Karen with a huge void and a feeling of losing her identity. 

Away from the pitch is where she fought her and won her most fierce battles and it’s those that she believes have helped to strengthen her over the years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The secret to life is to keep moving. Stop focussing on the past and look ahead to what's coming. That's the only way to meet challenge and discover new opportunities.

Sports professionals are just that. They must never be defined by their gender. We need to strip back the definitions to a purely human standing, and regard all sexes with the respect that they are due.

When you achieve victory in anything, you have to take a moment to celebrate your win. Don't feel too pressured to move on until you've properly experienced the joy in the moment.

The most important lesson we can live by is to enjoy the elements that make us different from others. Never see our differences as something to hide. It's what makes us unique that's truly special in this world.

BEST MOMENTS

'My mission is for everyone to see it as football, not just men's and women's football'

'I'm only ever going to be myself, that's all I can be'

'I'm a pundit, I'm a former player. I'm not a former female player - I don't want to be a female pundit'

'Life's fast and evolving. You can't stand still and admire what you've previously done. You've got to keep going'

Former Royal Marines Commando and MMA World Champion Martin ‘50 Cal’ Stapleton returns for a second bout of real uncensored chat. 

Nothing is off limits as we go deep into why so many well-intentioned people fail when it comes to bettering themselves, how to get out of victim mentality and why we need to stop letting society define our definition of success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

No one ever got to be a champion at anything by not putting in the hard yards. The fight itself is only a tiny part of the journey - there's a vast and comprehensive journey behind that brief moment.

You have to choose goals that are appropriate to your mindset and capabilities. Long terms goals are great, but if the going gets tough, you can fall by the wayside. It's far better to set smaller, incremental goals and hit them often.

People don't choose martial arts because they want a fight. They want to better themselves, get fit and emulate the kind of community spirit, camaraderie and mindset that results when we apply ourselves to a discipline.

People who do well in life are those who recognise there are doubts and fears in life, and do something about it. Those who fail normalise those fears and hide from them.

BEST MOMENTS

'I believe everybody should do martial arts'

'Fights are won and lost in the weeks, months, and years beforehand'

'It's got to be built on solid foundations - in a solid belief in yourself'

'If I can just get them out of victim mode, then I feel like I've done my job'

Everyone deserves a dignified life 🙏🏼

But the reality is that many men, women and children are subjected to forced labour and trafficking every single day. This happens everywhere around us and is a fast-growing criminal industry only second to arms. 

Returning to the show I had the pleasure of re-interviewing my friend Spencer Lodge. Spencer is a best-selling author, the founder of $100M valuation, and one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Dubai. But we don’t talk about any of that…

Certain things happen in life that make you reassess your values. Once a cutthroat businessman focused on building extreme financial wealth, Spencer has found a purpose that’s a lot bigger than he is and it’s a very dark industry.

Historically I’ve avoided looking too deeply into this stuff. I had an awareness it was happening but I had no idea of the extent of the depravity. It can be difficult to acknowledge the horrors of this world without it upsetting us which is why we shy away from it. The truth is over 8 million children are trafficked every year and those are very conservative numbers. As a Mother myself, I can’t just pretend I don’t know that. 

In this episode, we talk about the harsh reality of being born into the Badi community in Nepal. They are considered the lowest class individuals and have been all but exiled from their own community resulting in forced child prostitution and trafficking as standard practice from nine years old. 

Spencer talks about his life's realignment and how he has found true purpose and meaning in working with victims of human trafficking and lays bare not only the inspiring stories of those who are fighting to save children all over the world but also the terrifying details of the powerful, twisted cabals operating in the hidden world of today.

BEST MOMENTS

'There is nothing that makes me feel better than knowing that I've played a tiny part in the lives of these kids'

'When your focus in life is making money, you'll work out eventually that it isn't really a very worthy goal'

'We need to get out of this space where we're a victim'

'Unfortunately, this goes all the way to the top'

‘We need to work harder and trying to be kinder’

AJ Roberts' story is a prime example of how one decision can drastically alter the path of your life. At the age of just 19, he was given an ultimatum - go to jail or join the army. Thankfully, AJ chose the latter, and credits this single diversion as a true salvation in his life. Since leaving the military in 2018, AJ has put the considerable knowledge he's gained through serving in such places as Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, into not just founding a global wellbeing empire, but also investigating the darker side of the world around us, and daring to ask the uncomfortable questions around the propaganda and false narratives we're sold.

In this episode, AJ returns to the show to talk about not just how he has learned to defy the lies but the best way of communicating this to people who have fallen behind in terms of consciousness, how propaganda works and how we can defy it, and the terrifying way in which the broken education system is turning an entire generation into a fearful one.

BEST MOMENTS

'Being an observer has allowed me to see the amazing journeys of people'

'I learned how powerful the human body and mind really is'

'It's very difficult to be the change that you want to see in the world, when you're depressed and anxious yourself'

'The more we raise our awareness, the more we're able to discern what's BS and what's not'

This week on the On a Mission podcast, I’m joined by Jess Cunningham businesswoman, and television personality best known for competing in the 2016 series of The Apprentice.

Jess is a fierce, strong business mind and a powerhouse in the world of entrepreneurship, but it hasn't always been as easy as Jess makes it look. She's experienced life-changing highs, as well as faced earth-shattering lows, including tragedies that would have derailed many.

In this frank episode, Jess lays out the details of her sometimes-harrowing story, talks about the highs and lows of reality television, why we should vehemently question the narratives we're being sold around health and wellbeing, and how she's overcome the blackest moments in life to build an impregnable resilience that has taken her to the top of the game. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes connections take place in life that some refer to as serendipity or coincidence. But the real reason that greatness attracts greatness, is that their energies are aligned.

The pains we carry as children often carries through to adulthood in ways we cannot express. They can manifest in physical ways, rather than emotional scars. When they surface, it's imperative that we listen to what our body is trying to tell us.

We get our images of success from the media, which is a distorted viewpoint from the start. We need to look inside for the real image of what we want success to look like.

Most medical professionals are being taught from a big pharma perspective, and therefore are not open to the fact that wellbeing begins in the mind, and that what fits as a solution for one person may not fit for the populace. We need to question the system and smash the current way of thinking about health.

BEST MOMENTS

'My validation was stolen from me as a child'

'Your subconscious will only give you what you're ready to receive'

'You have to feel your emotions to release them'

'The truth always comes out, because you cannot hide the truth'

At the age of 28, professional footballer Fraser Franks was abruptly forced into retirement from professional football and found himself spiralling into depression, which swiftly led to a prolonged period of alcohol addiction.

Through sheer willpower and determination, Fraser pulled himself back from the brink of self-destruction and has since gone on to become a vocal champion when it comes to helping others to beat their alcohol issues.

Fraser talks frankly about what it means to go from the top to the bottom, how he has learned to frame his past and why our careers must never truly define who we are as a person, the sometimes shocking moments from his time as an alcoholic, and why he resolved to pull himself back from the edge in order to carve out a happier, healthier life.

Another incredibly raw episode of the On a Mission podcast.

BEST MOMENTS

'There was no separation of the player and the person'

'Personality is not permanent - good or bad'

'I developed a real confidence with alcohol, but no confidence without it'

'I became defensive because I knew I was drinking more than I wanted to'

'I didn't like the person that I was becoming'

He is a man on the ultimate mission and a true inspiration!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

It's less important to consider what people think about you, and more important to consider the way you think about yourself.

External validation can feel good, but it is almost always temporary, and should never be used as a barometer to measure the way we feel about ourselves.

Even during the toughest trials in life, there are always gifts to be found. There are lessons we can pass on to others, that may ease their pain when they need it most.

Reaching your goals is sometimes not about the action you take, but the resilience you take on your journey to get there. It's not about how hard you come out fighting - it's about picking yourself up and keeping going when it matters.

BEST MOMENTS

'All the things I've done, they don't define me. It's more about what I'm going to do'

'Your greatest test can be your greatest testimonial'

'The outcome isn't in question, but how we get there - that is in question'

'It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and still keep moving forward'

When people rise from humble backgrounds to the top of their professions, they truly have worked hard to get there and this weeks guest is no exception. 

Master Trader and self-made multimillionaire Greg Secker joins me to talk about what it REALLY takes to play the financial game to your advantage and the main techniques he's used to create life-changing, generational wealth.

From humble beginnings to building schools in Africa with Richard Branson, it’s safe to say Greg has had a colourful life. Nothing is off limits in this interview as we talk about how wild it was to be a trader in the nineties, his friendship with "The Wolf Of Wall Street" himself - Jordan Belfort - and how Greg's advice has helped him to become a world-class speaker.

From enterprising youngster to world-renowned expert. Greg’s story is truly inspirational!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There's always a strategy to get what you want in life. If you want to get rich, there are tried and tested methods and people out there who can show you the way. Nothing is beyond your reach.

You can't expect overnight success in one go. Success comes from making many smaller decisions and incrementally building your way to the bigger wins.

If you're looking for handouts in life, then your ethic is all wrong. Instead, look for ways to grow your own wealth independently, and perpetually, and teach the next generation the importance of doing so.

Celebrating your wins is all very well, but too much and you will train your emotions to be riding high when you find a win, and devastated when you face a loss.

BEST MOMENTS 

'I'm an entrepreneur - a maverick - I'm a risk taker'

'Success isn't getting one thing right. It's getting lots of little things right'

'There is a strategy to everything in life'

'When emotions are on fire, what they do is distort the plan'
