In this episode, we delve into the importance of freeing Julian Assange and the powerful documentary film that sheds light on his story. We explore the psychological torture that Assange has endured and emphasise the urgent need for public awareness and activism. The film 'Trust Fall' features renowned celebrity advocates such as Roger Waters, MIA, Susan Sarandon, and Tom Morello, who lend their voices to the cause.
This week I’m on a mission with Kym Staton, the director of the documentary film 'Trust Fall'. In our interview, we delve into the challenges faced during the making of the film and the significance of press freedom. We discuss the need for urgent global action to protect truth and transparency, highlighting the critical role that Assange's case plays in safeguarding journalism and free speech.
Julian’s courage in bringing to light US war crimes has seen him spend five years in a maximum security prison with a far worse punishment awaiting him if he gets extradited to the US.
Every journalist or content creator needs to get behind this. Freedom of speech is under attack!

A journey both personal and political, Matt Embry's is an award-winning documentary filmmaker on a mission to get some answers to a medical mystery.
If no one knows the causes or cures for multiple sclerosis, then why are so many MS charities touting drugs (with considerable side effects) that don’t work in the long term? And why does the FDA drag its feet on approving promising non-pharmaceutical cures? And why won’t the powers that be in the MS establishment listen to the director himself, diagnosed with the disease over two decades ago, and who through only strict diet and exercise, remains healthy and surprisingly asymptomatic?
These are the questions that Matt Embry has dedicated his life to finding out, the obvious answers lie buried in the bottom line of Big Pharma — a risky diagnosis to make.
This interview is fascinating not only for anyone with an autoimmune disease, but for all of those who believe in living a life without limitations. The mindset, courage, and resilience that Matt has shown is inspiring millions of people across the world. Repeatedly faced with hardship and adversity, Matt speaks candidly about his rock bottom, the mental health challenges he’s faced and overcome, and how finding spirituality saved his life.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Matt Pink, also known as The Better Life Guy. Matt is the bestselling author of the book called 'Better Me Better You'. He is a speaker, coach, and sober influencer, making a significant impact in the sober community through sharing his creative, funny, and direct approach to choosing sobriety.
Like many of us, Matt Pink was immersed in the "work hard, play hard" lifestyle, prioritising ambition and partying over his own mental health. We talk candidly about how his relationship with alcohol deteriorated after the tragic death of his young son and how this led to him losing everything.
The comeback started for him after a chance spiritual encounter. Initially sceptical, a meeting with a stranger (ironically in the pub!) led to Matt completely turning his life around. In this episode, it's not all about sobriety as we delve into other areas of wellness, self-development, and how hitting rock bottom can be the catalyst needed to find your true passion.
