  • From Batman to Postman To Running A Multimillion Pound Coaching Business. The Incredible Rise Of Success Against All The Odds with Liam James Collins
    From Batman to Postman to running a multimillion-pound business, the life of Liam James Collins almost sounds as though it could be a movie in its own right.
    Having begun life as an actor, and performing alongside some of Hollywood's heavyweights, including Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Anne Hathaway, Liam's career suddenly crumbled, and before he knew it, his acting dream was over. Liam literally went from working alongside Tom Hardy to delivering his mail!
    That was a turning point for Liam who realised he needed to stop procrastinating and start fulfilling his dreams but as you will hear, simply making a decision doesn’t ensure a smooth and easy road moving forwards either. Liam actually went on to have the toughest year of his life - after he got caught up in the London Bridge terror attacks and witnessed the most horrendous atrocities imaginable, he then lost his Dad to suicide which should have been prevented which turned his life upside down. 
    In this incredibly raw and emotional episode of the On a Mission podcast, Liam talks about how he has managed to channel his pain into purpose and shares the tools, and techniques he uses to help motivate others towards success. Meeting challenges, no matter how devastating doesn't have to mean you are out of the game for good.
    One of the most powerful episodes to date!

  • The Apprentice All-Time Champion Mark Wright On The Success Formula and The Dark Side of Fame
    With The Apprentice in flow what better time to reintroduce this epic conversation with 2014 winner Mark Wright. 
    We live in an era of reality where everyone wants to be famous for the sake of being famous, however, that was far from the case with Mark. When he applied for the apprentice he meant business! 
    His relentless commitment to mastery ensured that he won not only the £250k prize money to launch his business but more importantly, a business partnership with Lord Sugar who has become a close friend and mentor to Mark over the years. 
    Lord Sugar has a ruthless reputation, and in this episode, we get the low-down on what he's really like to work with when the cameras aren't rolling and it might just surprise you. 
    Now a multimillionaire who has shared the stage with and a private jet with Grant Cardone, Mark is an example of someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed as he gives us his unfiltered opinion on why the vast majority of entrepreneurs fail.
    Lots of powerful lessons around mindset and business in this unmissable episode🔥 
    BEST MOMENTS
    'I'm a huge believer that success leaves clues'
    'When you get around the right people, the way they negotiate deals,
    'I've never had a problem being tough'
    'I'm content with what I had, but I'm not chasing that. I'm chasing success in my craft, which is business'

  • Lewis Raymond Taylor on Beating The Demons Of The Past To Create a Life Worth Living

    How do you go from convicted criminal to CEO of a company that was recently valued at $25 million? Let’s find out!! 

    On this episode of the On a Mission podcast, Lewis Raymond Taylor talks to us about how he went from fighting with the mafia and risking life in prison to completely flipping the script. Lewis started to tap into the darkness he’d always carried with him, as he could never shed the emotional neglect, abuse and trauma of his past. Instead of creating destruction, Lewis decided to start following a different path. 

    After serving an 18-month prison sentence & 6 months of rehab that stripped him apart - Lewis embraced self-development on a big scale and learned first-hand how to rebuild himself. Through that process, he has learnt how to guide others through their transformations, which is how the Coaching Masters was born. 

    From an angry, drug-addicted criminal to a freedom-lifestyle entrepreneur helping others. An honest reflection of how your past does not equal your future.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Controversy isn't necessarily always a bad thing. Haters are obvious to all who look down on a situation, and hate never wins. The best tactic is to rise above and let them tire themselves out.
    • The world of coaching and development can seem contrived and saturated to some, but we must remember that human beings are all unique. Just because a form of development does not apply to you, does not mean that it will not apply to somebody out there.
    • When you are repeatedly told that you are bad, that something is wrong with you, that you are lesser that others, you do become mentally conditioned to believe it. It takes a special kind of mind - one that wants desperately to rescue ourselves - to break free and take back control.
    • If you only focus upon single elements of life, such as money or spirituality, without taking a more holistic view of life in its entirety, you can't hope to really achieve success.
    • The education system is fundamentally broken. We're sending children into battery-hen environments so that they can learn cookie-cutter facts about subjects that will prove of little use in their futures. The system needs disruption and reinvention.

      • BEST MOMENTS

      'There's nothing you can throw at me that will put me off'

      'I was on a self-sabotage mission'

      'The more you learn the less you know'

      'The education system is ripe for disruption'

    • Health Pioneer Nadine Artemis On The Natural Body Biohacks
      Nadine Artemis is a world-renowned health and beauty pioneer, most famous for her work as an author, having penned such ground-breaking works as 'Renegade Beauty' and 'Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums'.
      On this weeks episode of the On a Mission Podcast, Nadine joins me to talk about how to not just feel better about ourselves, but how to look better through a more natural approach that begins inside, as well as why the accepted mainstream guidance on how to look better might be fundamentally flawed, and how we should be embracing the marvels of the body and its functions in order to achieve optimal wellbeing, rather than inhibiting them with lab-produced compounds and unnatural remedies.
      KEY TAKEAWAYS
      If we feel good, then we inevitably look good. Feeling good inside literally flows outwards. The key to beauty is to start from within.
      We are led to believe by the mainstream advice, that beauty can be bought and applied each morning ands evening. But the truth is that these chemically formulated products often do more harm than good to our once-in-a-lifetime body.
      For generations, animals have produced dairy and meat that's rich in vitamins and nutrients harvested through eating natural plants. Pesticides and unnatural rearing are destroying this invaluable source of nutrition. We need to be far more vigilant about the foods we consume and aim for a more organic background.
      Mercury and other toxic metals are used for filling materials by dentists, however they are incredibly harmful to nature - so much so that the disposal of them is highly regulated. Why are we allowing such dangerous materials to be implanted into our bodies? 
      BEST MOMENTS
      'If you're feeling good, you look good'
      'If we stop just handing ourselves over to professionals and get a bit more involved with our own bodies, we'll be a lot better off'
      'It's common sense, but it's obviously not that common, because people still do it'
      'The alchemy between the skin and the sun - that will never come from a bottle'

    • Supermodel and Business Powerhouse, Caprice Bourret, On How To Sustain Life In And Out Of The Public Eye
      Hardly anyone else alive has lived a life so publicly as Caprice Bourret, the model, singer, businesswoman - one of the most high profile personalities in the world, and one of the most photographed women of all time.
      On this weeks episode of the On a Mission Podcast, Caprice talks about what life is like when you're persistently being seen through a lens, how the scrutiny of strangers can lead to a very warped sense of reality, the business empire she's built behind the scenes, and the resilience you find in reinvention. Get set for an inspirational tale from a true living legend...
      KEY TAKEAWAYS
      People often only want to see the veneer of others - the public-facing side, without giving a thought to the inner workings of a person. Caprice is a fabulous example of being written off as simply a model, when in reality, much of her considerable fortune has been amassed through entrepreneurial ventures.
      The greatest achievements in life come from the gifts we give ourselves. If we can reach a place in life where we can look upon the fortunes we've built with pride, it's the ultimate accolade.
      There's a reason why some people shine in this world. Those in the public eye are often held up as examples of success, but the reality is that they are the ones who never give up, and work harder than the average person.
      Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we should always endeavour to raise others up rather than knock them down - especially within the female . We need to encourage, not deconstruct.
      BEST MOMENTS 
      'In today's market you have to do it all!'
      'I know what it's like not to eat and I never want to go back there again'
      'I'm in the best place that I've ever been and it's because I put myself here. Not luck. Not God. It's Caprice'
      'There are never problems, only solutions'

    • My Health, My Responsibility. Chewing The Fat - with Udo Erasmus
      Udo Erasmus is a legendary health and wellness pioneer, acclaimed author and extensive educator who works alongside Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra to spread the message about the good fats that are essential for a healthy life. 
      Udo, the founder of the global Healthy Fats Movement, developed the machinery to create FLAX OIL, used by millions of people worldwide, but what he shared in this interview about how we consume oils will shock you to the core. 
      Born as a child of war, Udo had a challenging start in life as he fled his war-torn country only to be abandoned on the roadside by his own Mother in a tragic tale of survival. Having seen the worst of mankind at an early age, Udo’s adversity helped him to discover his purpose in life from being a six-year-old child, and now he’s on a mission to share his message of hope. 
      It's an inspiring, empowering episode and one of the most important in terms of positivity and practical methodologies for ensuring that even individually, we can do our part to change the world we live in.
      BEST MOMENTS
      'There's no reason why eight billion people can't live on this planet, helping each other'

    • Getting High On Your Own Supply - with The Breath Connection’s Sam Murray and Miranda Bailey
      Dark moods, stress, PTSD, anxiety, and trauma almost resulted in former Royal Marine Sam Murray taking his own life. 
      It can be difficult to comprehend the levels of stress that Royal Marine Commandos must experience during and after their years of service. After hitting rock bottom, Sam embarked upon a difficult journey of self-awakening and personal development after discovering cold water and breathwork to be a life-changing combination.
      Inspired to help others overcome similar challenges, Sam has since co-founded the Breath Connection with his partner Miranda Bailey, a Nutritional Therapist and Breathwork Practitioner, as they now help others to "unlock the power of the breath to build resilience and reduce their stress.
      In this episode of the On a Mission podcast, Sam and Miranda discuss how their definition of success has evolved as they have evolved and share practical antidotes to rebalance a stressed mind and body. 
      Could cold water immersion and breathwork be the key to unlocking the potential we all have within us?
      KEY TAKEAWAYS
      Most trauma has the devastating effect it does, because it triggers a memory or feeling from childhood that has yet to be addressed and resolved.
      We all know the answers that can lead us from darkness into the light, but we simply have to find a way of awakening these solutions within ourselves. Breathing, in Sam's case, was the key to unlocking this.
      Meditation and breath work performed first thing in the morning, can help to set your mind for the rest of the day. Quietening the mind and connecting with something bigger than us is a vital part of showing up effectively.
      Stress is a huge driver of human endeavour. Society teaches us that stress makes us somehow efficient, but this is not true. We have the power to manage stress through breath work, and should wield it as a power for good - alleviating stress and taking back control of our minds and bodies.
      BEST MOMENTS
      'I had an awakening'
      'We need to be prepared to go to war within ourselves'
      'I'm really interested in breath work for its capacity to help us manage stress'
      'Don't get caught up in your own thoughts and your own BS'

    • Part 2: Homeless Millionaire Reveals How To Escape The Matrix - with Simon Squibb
      The second of an epic two part conversation with Simon Squibb, the multi-millionaire on a mission to change the world. 
      Despite selling his business for more money than he could spend in his lifetime, Simon is -bent on giving it all away. He passionately believes we all have the entrepreneurial spirit within us and wants to encourage as many people as possible to break free from the shackles of the matrix to take control of their financial destiny. 
      Simon uses his viral social media accounts to reach millions of people every week to spread a message of positivity and hope through the possibilities of entrepreneurship without any of the fluff. 
      In his own direct manner, Simon is not scared to speak his truth as he warns people away from the next get-rich-quick scheme and explains why he thinks a lot of the advice given is hugely damaging, especially around leveraging debt. 
      He’s a man with a big heart and an even bigger mission; enjoy!
      KEY TAKEAWAYS
      The present education system is completely broken and doesn't give people the tools they need in order to exist in the world of today. We're still adhering to an archaic programme of what people needed generations ago.
      Sometimes the best way of unlocking the entrepreneurial spirit inside us, is to harness the skills of another entrepreneur. Combining forces can be the key to unlocking our own power.
      Business masterminds are born for two reasons - either the circumstances demand that they do something in order to survive, or they find their true purpose and make it happen.
      We're conditioned to believe that in order to get through life, we simply have to memorise facts and slot into our pigeon hole in society. It takes an entrepreneurial spirit to see outside of these limitations and achieve true freedom.
      BEST MOMENTS
      'People freak out a little bit when you talk about change'
      'A tool to live in the real world is how to manage money'
      'The questions isn't "Are they an entrepreneur?". The question should be "What kind of entrepreneur are they?"'
      'People come out of school thinking that cave life is better than being out in the wild. Being out in the wild is living!'

    • I Quit Drinking For One Year, Was It Worth It? Hosted by James Burtt
      A personal journey.
      I didn't think I had a problem with alcohol, but in 2021 I found that it had become acceptable for me to pour myself a glass of wine most nights. 
      The crazy thing was I was always looking at ways to improve my mindset and physical health, but up until that point, I’d excluded alcohol from the equation. You’ve got to have some vices, right?  
      The problem was I was no longer getting what I needed from my relationship with alcohol. It was starting to become a bad habit that wasn’t serving me. It may not have been the problem, but it certainly wasn’t the solution, and whilst ever I was using it as a crutch for an instant dopamine hit, I was avoiding doing the inner work that was required to help me live a healthier, happier and more fulfilled life. 
      I recognised that I needed to take a tactical break and stop drinking alcohol to really see what I was capable of. 
      In this special joint episode with James Burtt producer of the One Year No Beer podcast, I give an honest insight into what it was like going completely alcohol-free for 2022 with no agenda. I share the pros and the cons without any of the fluff, so if you’re considering making some changes, then this is worth a listen.The One Year No Beer Podcast will inspire you to take, or support your journey on a 30, 90 & 365 day challenge to stop drinking and focus on healthy habits.You can follow James Burtt Here: https://www.instagram.com/jamesburttofficialCheck out the One Year No Beer Podcast here: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/podcasts/
