On a Mission Podcast 2.0

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...

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...

  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 incred...

Renowned performance coach Michelle Flynn works with high performers operating at an elite level, people at the top of their game who, on the surface, look like they have everything under control.   She was doing the same.   Training hard, disciplined, performing at a high level, until her body shut her down. Twice.   It’s something she now sees constantly, high performers still delivering, still...

The tolerance for uncertainty....

Covid. Censorship. Digital ID. Vaccines. Health freedom. Alternative media. Government overreach. Institutional control. Parenting in a system you no longer trust. These are no longer fringe talking points. They are the fault lines running through everyday life, shaping how people think, comply, spend, raise their children, and hand over responsibility without realising the long term cost.   Jaymi...
