On a Mission Podcast 2.0

Most people don’t need more information. They need the right answer, from the right person, at the exact moment they need it.

In this special episode, TalentDec co founders Dean Kelly and Ellie McKay reveal the thinking behind a new expert marketplace designed to make valuable knowledge and real world experience far more accessible.

Dean sold his first company at 30 for an eight fig...

Millions of people know Adam (ADMT) for his incredible voice, but what I love most about him isn’t his music. It’s the person behind it.

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with one of my good friends and an all round brilliant human being, Adam Taylor.

Behind the sold out shows, record deals and millions of views is someone who, for years, struggled to believe he was good enough. Adam speaks with incredible hones...

We’ve never had more access to information, yet it’s never been harder to know who or what to trust.

Social media has created a generation of experts who look successful. AI can give two completely different answers to the same question. Millionaires are selling courses on building wealth, despite making more money from the courses than the thing they’re supposedly teaching.

Twenty one years ago, serial entrepreneur and wellbeing expert Hannah Lanel made a split second decision that saved her life.

On the morning of the 7/7 London bombings, Hannah was sitting on the Tube when she looked up and made eye contact with another passenger. An overwhelming sense of dread washed over her. She got up, ran off the train and left the station, despite the fact it wasn’t even her stop.

Hours later, she discov...

In this episode, I sit down with Andy Ramage, former City broker turned one of the leading voices in the alcohol free movement, for a raw conversation about alcohol, stress, identity and the habits many of us have normalised for years without ever really questioning.

What starts as a discussion about drinking quickly becomes something much bigger. We talk about the reality that alcohol is often the only...

This episode was actually recorded a couple of years ago, before alcohol became the mainstream conversation it is today. Listening back now, it’s fascinating how many of the things we discussed then are starting to become widely talked about in 2026.

Ahead of tomorrow’s brand new episode with Andy Ramage, I wanted to re release our original conversation because so much of it still feels incr...

Maajid Nawaz was radicalised as a teenager and built his life around an extremist ideology that led to his arrest in Egypt, prison, and torture, before walking away from it and rethinking everything he once believed.

Years later, after becoming a well-known voice in counter extremism, he lost his role as a presenter on LBC during Covid, publicly labelled and ridiculed for his views.
