"Money is time because if you think about money in terms of how much time it can buy you, then you're looking at it from a perspective of, okay, well, if the hits the fan tomorrow, I can actually live for this long based on my current lifestyle."
"Earn your right to risk. I think a lot of people go into desperation and they try and do the quick get rid of the bitcoins and the thing. And the problem is…"

In this episode of the On The Mission podcast, I sit down with Simon Leslie to discuss his incredible journey from being a shy door-to-door insurance salesperson to co-founding the largest travel media company in the world. We delve into the challenges and successes he experienced along the way, including overcoming three bankruptcies and the mindset and resilience required to build back a multimillion pound empire.
Simon shares his belief in the power of luck and the importance of courage, resilience, and surrounding oneself with the right people. We also explore how Simon navigated the catastrophic challenges of the pandemic and the lengths he went to keep his team motivated, and the shift in his mindset towards giving and helping others which has completely transformed the way he does both business and life.
Now looking to transfer his business success onto the football pitch, Simon shares the motivation behind his more recent venture, buying Eastbourne football club and how he plans to disrupt the way that league football is played from a grassroots level. Could Eastbourne become the next Wrexham success story?

This week, we are joined by Narcissism and trauma healing expert Rebecca P Fox. A Psychotherapist and accomplished author making waves with her viral content around this complex subject.
We delve deep as Rebecca shares her own traumatic journey with brutal honesty, which has led her to where she is today. Moving forward from childhood trauma with a narcissistic mother, the unresolved trauma inevitably led to more toxic and highly abusive relationships. This is why Rebecca wants to prevent others from experiencing the same.
Narcissism is increasingly prevalent in today's power-hungry society. Rebecca explains why we need to build on our emotional intelligence to ensure we are always in control. She is on a mission to help people who have experienced trauma regain their power, but also to help us identify the red flags and avoid potentially toxic relationships from the start.
A fascinating insight into a hugely important subject.

After having survived a near-death medical procedure, and overcoming addiction to opioids and alcohol, author Philly J Lay decided to take back control of her health and wellbeing, by investigating the side of health treatment that many of us rarely even consider. Since then, Philly has passionately spoken out about the darker side of medical control that humanity seems to be suffering beneath.
This awakening is what brings Philly here today, as she sits down with me for a revealing, insightful, and sometimes shocking conversation about the nutritional discoveries she has made, including the medicinal properties of food, the hidden side of processed foods, and how the powers on high are feeding us lies and propaganda in order to keep us under control.

This week's episode was recorded live from Dubai with my fabulous co-host Toni Gargan where we had the pleasure of speaking to Master Sri Akarshana, also known as the Yogi with a Lamborghini.
Master Sri Akarshana's wisdom has inspired over 35 million people worldwide. Despite being the son of a gang leader, he defied the odds and became a highly successful entrepreneur, achieving financial freedom at the young age of 25. However, he felt deeply depressed and unfulfilled, realising that material possessions alone couldn't bring him true happiness. This realisation led him to discover a passion for helping others.
Letting go of his luxurious lifestyle, Master Sri Akarshana embarked on a journey of self-discovery and service. He was chosen to become a disciple of the Himalayan Spiritual Master Grandmaster Akshar, a role that came with a rigorous and little-known training process which isn’t for the faint hearted.
In our conversation, Master Sri shares his insights on various topics, including the Law of Attraction, manifestation, and practical ways to enhance one's spiritual journey. He also discusses the strategies he has developed to overcome negativity and limiting beliefs.
One of the biggest challenges in the spiritual community is finding a balance between spirituality and financial abundance. Master Sri Akarshana delves into the common scarcity mindset that holds many spiritual individuals back from accumulating wealth and accessing their full potential.
Don't miss this episode, as it breaks down stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding spirituality and offers a fresh perspective on what it truly means to be spiritual.

In this episode of the On a Mission podcast, we sit down with Barton Scott, the founder of Upgraded Formulas, a company that is revolutionising the way we think about our health, sleep and energy. As a former chemical engineer, Barton knows a thing or two about the importance of minerals and nutrients in our bodies. He experienced a marked decline in his energy levels and saw an emerging pattern of fatigue and brain fog. This led him to devote his life to finding a revolutionary way to become a better human being.
Barton believes that the key to optimal health lies in the careful engineering of minerals. He explains that our bodies need a wide range of minerals to function properly, and that many of us are deficient in these essential nutrients. By carefully selecting and combining the right minerals, Barton has created a range of products that can help us all to feel better, sleep better and have more energy.
But Barton's approach goes beyond just taking supplements. He believes that we need to take a more experimental and brave approach to our health. He argues that the accepted medical wisdom might be changed entirely if we were willing to try new things and take risks. By eating a nutrient and mineral-rich diet, we can give our bodies the tools they need to function at their best.
In this fascinating conversation, Barton shares his insights into the importance of minerals, the benefits of a nutrient-rich diet, and why we need to be more experimental in our approach to health. If you're looking for ways to improve your health, sleep and energy, then this is an episode you won't want to miss.
BEST MOMENTS
'Minerals activate vitamins and enzyme pathways - they give the body a lot of shortcuts'
'The diagnoses that we have fancy names for are really just a way for doctors to compartmentalise'
'I applied chemical engineering to nutrition and suddenly saw all these things that can't be true'
'What we're doing when we take control of our health is that we're taking more control back of every other aspect'
