On a Mission Podcast 2.0

Mushrooms. Manifestation. A brand changing the game.

 

Meet Zain Peer, cofounder of London Nootropics, one of the breakout names in functional health right now. Their adaptogenic coffee blends have taken the wellness space by storm, helping people ditch the jitters, clear brain fog, and tap into something better than burnout.

 

They have gone from kitchen counter...

What if the solution to your chronic pain, low energy, poor sleep, or even spiralling mental health wasn’t another pill but a magnetic field?

 

More and more people are starting to take their health and longevity seriously, myself included. And once you start digging, it’s incredible what’s out there. One of the names that keeps coming up is Andy Smith. He’s really making waves (pardon the pun) in the biohacking world with a device...

He arrived in the UK with just £270 in his pocket and ended up building a multi-million-pound business with Lord Sugar as his partner.

In this episode, I’m joined by Mark Wright, who doesn’t just talk about entrepreneurship, he’s lived it, battled through it and earned every win.

We talk about what really happens after the cameras stop rolling. From legal battles in month two of business, to being publicly booed by an entire indust...

Rebecca May (Becky) is the quiet force behind some of the UK’s most high profile media placements.

 

For over two decades, she’s been shaping stories, building brands, and steering clients through everything from viral headlines to full blown media storms. She’s worked with celebrities, founders, and total unknowns, navigating the chaos and making the right kind of noise when it matters mos...

She’s been called a modern day Madame, a real life rebel, and even a threat to society’s moral compass, but beneath the headlines, Emma Sayle is a female entrepreneur who has built one of the most recognisable and controversial brands in the world.

Two decades ago, she launched Killing Kittens with a clear mission to challenge the double standards around female sexuality and create a space where women lead. What began as a defiant ...

When the stakes are high, Will Geddes is the man they call.

 

A-list celebrities. Billionaire CEOs. Politicians with everything to lose. For over thirty years, he’s protected people in the moments where it matters most, kidnappings, blackmail, death threats, data breaches, revenge plots. The stuff most of us only see in films.

 

Dubbed the real-life James Bond, W...

If you’ve ever looked like you’ve got it all together on the outside but felt like you’re barely holding it together underneath, this one’s for you.

Will Polston is one of the UK’s top mindset and performance coaches. He’s built a successful business, worked with thousands of people and ticked off the big goals. But long before any of that, he hit a point where he genuinely didn’t know if he could carry on.

In this episode, Will sh...

Back by popular demand, I’m joined once again by Rebecca P. Fox, qualified psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and leading expert in emotional intelligence and narcissistic abuse.

You might remember our first conversation, where we scratched the surface of some big topics. This time, we go deeper.

This isn’t about clinical definitions or theory. It’s about what really happens behind the scenes. The quiet manipulation that chips awa...

The only difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth is about six months…

AJ Roberts was cancelled during lockdown. Shadowbanned. Deplatformed. Silenced for speaking out against a system he’d once served.

I watched it happen in real time. Years of building up hundreds of thousands of followers, gone in an instant. But AJ didn’t back down. He kept going. He kept speaking. And people kept listening.

In this episode, we talk ...

This week’s episode is with world-renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, the man behind some of the biggest nights in boxing history and one of the most influential figures in the sport.   But this isn’t just a conversation about boxing.   We go behind the scenes of the empire he’s built and the pressure that comes with carrying a legacy. From growing up as “Barry Hearn’s son” to leading global sporting events, Eddie opens up about ...

He’s dodged bullets, been held at gunpoint, worked as a private security contractor in the world’s most dangerous places and still says the scariest thing he ever did was sit still with his own thoughts.

This week, Ellie McKay is joined by the unstoppable force that is Jordan Wylie. Soldier. Adventurer. Author. TV personality. But underneath it all, a man who’s had to battle his demons harder than most.

In this brutally honest epis...

Philly J Lay never set out to be a campaigner. But after a routine spinal fusion left her in agonising pain and heavily medicated, her world was turned upside down.

She spent years in bed, disconnected from everything she once knew, physically broken, emotionally exhausted, and unsure of what recovery could even look like. But it was through that experience that she began to question everything she had been told about health, heali...

Looking at James Roffey today, you see the strength, the discipline, the presence of a man who has done the inner work. But behind that calm exterior is a story that challenges everything we think we know about mental health, masculinity, and what it means to fall apart and put yourself back together again.

James is breaking down taboos and speaking openly about the topics that too often go unspoken. His story touches on eating dis...

You think you know Caprice? Think again.

In this episode of On a Mission, Ellie McKay sits down with the model-turned-mogul for an unfiltered deep dive into a life that’s been anything but ordinary. From becoming one of the most photographed women in the world to building a multimillion-pound property portfolio and running successful businesses, Caprice Bourret opens up like never before.

This isn’t a tale of overnight success. It’...

This is what happens when two good friends sit down and talk about the stuff that actually matters.

In this episode of On a Mission, Ellie McKay is joined by the brilliant, big-hearted and wonderfully honest Angharad Wrigley for a conversation about life, growth, and finding your way back to yourself after years of running on autopilot.

Angharad shares how it took her until her 40s to finally like the person she’d become. Along the...

Dr. John Demartini wasn’t supposed to make it.

Diagnosed with learning difficulties. Branded “uneducable.” Homeless at 14. By the world’s standards, his story should’ve ended before it ever really began.

But one powerful conversation changed everything.

In this episode of On a Mission, Dr. Demartini shares the truth behind his journey not the highlight reel, but the moments mo...

The day John Bygraves was told he had just three months to live, everything came crashing down.

His world, once filled with music, momentum and a fast-paced DJ lifestyle, suddenly stood still. What began as a small health concern turned into a rare and aggressive cancer diagnosis, and within moments, life as he knew it was gone.

Faced with a life-altering decision, John chose to explore a different path that challenged convention a...

Adam Ashburn’s life changed in an instant when he was hit by a car travelling 100mph.

At just 19, he went from training as a professional golfer to being told he might never walk again. His injuries were extensive, multiple surgeries, years in recovery, and a complete rebuild of his physical body. But what followed was even tougher.

Hooked on prescription opioids, Adam found himself spiralling. Like so many others, he was following...

Most people go to festivals. Andy O’Grady and Martin Semple built one from scratch. No big sponsors, no safety net, just two mates with a vision and the sheer determination to make it happen.

From the very start, they were at the heart of it all, two lads from Doncaster who wanted to create something special. The first event was held in a field with a couple of hundred people. No one knew if it would work. Nearly a decade later, Do...
