On a Mission Podcast 2.0

He Wasn’t Built For This… He Became It Darren Grigas has completed a world first 127 mile foot crossing of the 55 million year old Namib, run 100 miles across a frozen lake in temperatures down to minus 50, taken on uncharted rainforest, and completed Marathon des Sables alongside Sir Ranulph Fiennes. Most people look at extreme endurance athletes and assume they’ve always been wired differently, as though they were built for it from the start, but Darren’s story completely dismantles that. This didn’t begin with a lifelong obsession for pushing limits. It started with a random morning, a car crash, and a body that didn’t work the same way anymore. At that point, he wasn’t running ultra distances or training for deserts and jungles. He was living a normal life, working a job, following a routine, and struggling to run a single mile without his body breaking down. What followed was anything but a sudden transformation. It was slow, frustrating, and at times painful enough that most people would have stepped back and accepted their limits, but instead of doing that, he started asking a different question around what the version of himself would look like if he actually overcame it. That shift in thinking changed everything. Over time, that mindset took him from barely getting through a mile to standing on the start line of some of the toughest endurance events on the planet. It was great to have Darren back on the podcast for this one, because we go beyond the highlight reel and get into the reality behind it. The training around a full time job, raising kids, and dealing with pressure most people never see, along with the mental battles that don’t make it onto social media. What stands out most isn’t just what he’s done, it’s how he thinks. The way he approaches pain, pressure and adversity, understanding the difference between discomfort and real damage, and knowing when to push and when to hold. There’s also a side to this that most people wouldn’t expect, including personal pressure, family challenges and financial strain, all happening in the background while still showing up and doing the work. That’s where this really lands, not in the extremes themselves but in the mindset behind them, and the idea that you don’t wait until you feel ready, you make the decision first and then build yourself into the person who can handle it. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ The car crash that changed everything ✔ Struggling to run a single mile after injury ✔ The mindset shift that drove everything forward ✔ Marathon des Sables alongside Sir Ranulph Fiennes ✔ A world first 127 mile foot crossing of the Namib ✔ Running 100 miles across a frozen lake in minus 50 conditions ✔ Uncharted rainforest and extreme environments ✔ Training around work, family and real life pressure ✔ Understanding pain vs real damage ✔ Building resilience through real life adversity ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Darren Grigas: 🔗 Website: https://darrengrigas.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darren.grigas?igsh=Mzgwb2wxZmlqZzI4 🔗 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/182m17a9ni/?mibextid=wwXIfr 🔗 LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/darren-grigas

Mark Whittle is someone who’s spent years studying what actually drives human behaviour, performance, and fulfilment, and why so many people still feel lost even when they “have it all”. From working with high performers, athletes and entrepreneurs to building his own platform, Mark has seen first-hand what happens when success on paper doesn’t translate to real happiness. Because for a lot of people, hitting the top isn’t the answer, it’s where the real questions begin. This conversation goes deep into identity, self-worth, and the unconscious patterns that quietly control most people’s lives. From building self-trust and discipline to recognising the decisions that shape your future, this is a powerful breakdown of what actually creates change. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ Why success often doesn’t fix how you feel. ✔ The danger of tying your identity to what you do. ✔ How to build real confidence by keeping promises to yourself. ✔ Why most people operate unconsciously and stay stuck. ✔ The “sliding door” moments that shape your life. ✔ Why you need the right people around you to grow. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Mark Whittle: 🔗 Website: https://www.takeflightworld.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markwhittle_tf?igsh=eHp1bno2eG54aXF3

Great to welcome back Dr. Dain Heer, internationally renowned speaker, bestselling author, and co-creator of Access Consciousness, a global movement active in over 170 countries. From a childhood marked by abuse and poverty to a career as a chiropractor who once felt suicidal, Dain’s life radically changed when he discovered practical consciousness tools that opened a completely different way of living and creating. We always have so much fun when Dain’s on the show. In this conversation, he shares powerful insights on authenticity, self-judgement, and what it truly means to be you. This one’s for you if you’ve ever felt stuck trying to fix yourself, conflicted about success and spirituality, or unsure how to trust your own knowing, this episode offers grounded tools and fresh perspectives to help you create a more expansive life but be warned, we go off on a few very unexpected tangents. Key moments include: ✔ Why Dain says heaviness is often a lie, and how truth tends to feel lighter. ✔ The difference between fighting darkness and feeding it, and why resisting something can strengthen it. ✔ Why becoming a brighter light is a greater contribution than living in constant reaction to the chaos of the world. ✔ The Access Consciousness tools Dain returns to again and again, including “All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory”. ✔ How point of view shapes reality, and why what you decide to be true starts filtering everything you see. ✔ Money, receiving, and the belief that there is no such thing as a money problem, only an issue with what you are willing to receive. ✔ The conflict between spirituality and money, and why Dain believes money can be used to change people’s realities. ✔ Why force, control, and overplanning can block creation, and what happens when you start working with energy instead. ✔ Dain’s take on goals, five year plans, and why that structure may work for some people but not for everyone. ✔ The difference he draws between humans and humanoids, and why so many people feel like they do not fit this reality. ✔ Self judgement, awareness, and why having the thought “I’m so judgemental” may actually prove the opposite. ✔ AI, authenticity, and why real human energy can never be replaced by data alone ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Dain Heer: 🔗 Website: https://drdainheer.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dainheer/ 🔗 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrDainHeer 🔗 Access Consciousness: https://www.accessconsciousness.com

At 23 years old, he received a phone call that changed everything. His father had travelled to India for work. Days later, he was missing. Weeks later, a confession came in. Murder. The body was never recovered. The assets were taken. The legal system stalled. And overnight, Gian Power lost his hero, his security, and the life he had known. This is not just a story about grief. It is about what you choose to do next. In this deeply moving episode, Gian shares what it was like to navigate an international murder investigation in his early twenties while sitting professional exams in London, facing alleged conspirators across the table, and writing his own legal letters because he could not afford representation. He speaks openly about the confusion, the anger, the injustice, and the moment he realised that nobody could control how he responded. Instead of allowing bitterness to define him, Gian channelled everything into building something bigger than himself. He founded The Power of Storytelling with one clear mission: to make workplaces more human. Today, the organisation works with hundreds of global brands, using storytelling, neuroscience and lived experience to change cultures from the inside out. We also explore the psychological tools that kept him standing. Meditation in office bathrooms. Emotional regulation. Gratitude as a daily discipline. Turning anger into focus. And the neuroscience behind why sharing your story can literally save someone else’s life. Ten years on, the fight for justice continues. But so does the mission. Key moments include: ✔ The phone call that confirmed his father’s murder and the body that was not his. ✔ Losing his inheritance, his childhood home and financial security overnight. ✔ Facing alleged conspirators and navigating international legal failures. ✔ Why he refuses to let anger define him. ✔ Meditation, emotional granularity and the psychology of resilience. ✔ The neuroscience of storytelling and how shared experiences change the brain. ✔ Supporting the Missing People charity and the reality of unresolved loss. ✔ Building a global organisation from tragedy. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Gian Power: 🔗 Website: https://gianpower.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gianpower/?hl=en 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gianpower

Martin Stapleton (Stapes) returns to the On a Mission Podcast for his third appearance, and once again, this is a conversation that goes far beyond fighting. Since we last sat down together, Martin has stepped back into the cage, this time on his own terms. A former Royal Marine Commando, a world-level MMA fighter, and an entrepreneur, Martin has lived multiple lives that demand extreme resilience, discipline, and emotional control. This episode captures where those worlds collide. We talk openly about coming back to fighting in your forties, why age is often used as an excuse rather than a limitation, and what it really means to enjoy the process rather than chasing outcomes. Martin shares the reality of lockdown nearly destroying his business, draining his savings, and forcing him to rebuild from the ground up. Stapes goes deep into identity, loss, ego, and purpose. Why so many high performers struggle when one chapter ends, how identity can either anchor you or trap you, and how suffering can become a source of strength rather than something to escape. We dive into emotional regulation, mental health, and the uncomfortable truth that resilience is not about never getting knocked down, but about how quickly you respond when it happens. From combat zones to the octagon to entrepreneurship and fatherhood, Martin explains how the same core principles apply, just in very different environments. This is an honest and raw conversation about endurance, responsibility, and choosing to keep moving forward when it would be easier to stop. Key moments include: ✔ Martin’s return to the cage and why he refused to let his career end on someone else’s terms. ✔ How lockdown nearly wiped out his business and the mindset that carried him through rebuilding. ✔ Why suffering is a skill and how it shaped his confidence long before success arrived. ✔ The role of ego in high performance and how it evolves with age and experience. ✔ Identity, purpose, and why losing one label does not mean losing who you are. ✔ Emotional regulation, mental health, and what real resilience looks like under pressure. ✔ Why enjoying the process matters more than outcomes at this stage of life.

He became one of the most visible medical voices of the Covid era by refusing to stay quiet. One of the most published cardiologists in history, he challenged the official response in real time and paid the price for it. When he questioned the narrative, they tried to erase him. Peter McCullough returns to the On a Mission podcast as our most listened to guest, after years of censorship, platform removals, and sustained attempts to discredit his work. None of it worked. The questions he raised never went away and much of what he warned about is now playing out in real time. This conversation revisits the decisions that shaped the pandemic response and follows their consequences through to today. We talk about why early treatment was shut down, how waiting until hospitalisation became standard practice, and what that meant for patient outcomes. We unpack testing and death reporting, the pressure placed on clinicians, and how media messaging and coordinated language shaped public fear and compliance. Dr McCullough also shares the deeply personal experience of treating his own father outside official guidance, exposing serious flaws in protocols that were presented as unquestionable. The discussion moves into myocarditis, all cause mortality, vaccine injury reporting, and long Covid, including the role of the spike protein and why so many people are still dealing with long term cardiovascular, neurological, and inflammatory symptoms. This is a continuation of a conversation many tried to shut down. It is direct, detailed, and grounded in what has now stood the test of time. Key moments include: ✔ Why early treatment was sidelined and the consequences of hospitalisation first protocols. ✔ Testing and death reporting and how the data became distorted. ✔ Treating a family member outside government guidance. ✔ Myocarditis, athlete risk, and shifting narratives. ✔ All cause mortality and unresolved excess death signals. ✔ Long Covid, the spike protein, and long term health impact. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Dr Peter McCullough: 🔗 Website: https://petermcculloughmd.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petermcculloughmd?igsh=MWNzenMxdjg0M3p5ZA== 🔗 UK, Guernsey Event 6-9th Feb: https://www.worldcouncilforhealth.org/event/healing-beyond-covid-hosted-by-gb-news-presenter-neil-oliver/

World-renowned behavioural expert Dr John Demartini is back on the On a Mission podcast, and he does not disappoint! Demartini has long challenged mainstream psychology and self help frameworks, particularly around trauma, addiction, burnout, success, and responsibility. In this episode, those challenges show up clearly in how he explains behaviour, why people stay stuck, and why many popular approaches never reach the root of the issue. We get into the uncomfortable truth around why addiction is rarely about the substance itself, why burnout is often created by living in obligation rather than priority, and why many of the behaviours people want to eliminate are quietly serving a purpose. Demartini explains how unconscious motives drive behaviour, how emotional payoffs keep patterns in place, and why real change only happens when those drivers are exposed rather than avoided. The DeMartini Method runs throughout the conversation as the structure behind these views. It is used to explain why people repeat the same cycles, why responsibility is often misunderstood, and why removing blame without restoring accountability leaves people exactly where they started. Another unmissable episode 🔥 ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ Why addiction is rarely about the substance and more about the unconscious benefits it provides. ✔ How behaviours people label as destructive are often solving problems they have never identified. ✔ Why burnout is driven by misaligned priorities rather than workload or effort. ✔ How living by obligation creates stress, distraction, and emotional volatility. ✔ Why victim narratives feel validating but quietly remove control. ✔ How trauma is often approached in ways that reinforce identity instead of resolution. ✔ Why values dictate behaviour, money habits, leadership style, and decision making. ✔ How responsibility becomes a route back to clarity rather than blame. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Dr John Demartini: 🔗 Website: https://drdemartini.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjohndemartini?igsh=MTh1YWthazE0OGIybg== 🔗 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Dh29RuDHN/?mibextid=wwXIfr 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjohndemartini?

Dean Kelly returns to the On a Mission podcast for one of the most anticipated conversations we have released. Dean founded his first business at 27, sold it to a PLC for an eight figure exit, and became a liquid multi millionaire by 30. He went on to become the youngest CEO on the UK stock market and has since built, scaled, and exited multiple businesses. On paper, the story could stop there. It never does. Dean originally came on the podcast to talk about those achievements. Our conversations never stay there. We first connected during the pandemic, at a time when much of the official narrative did not sit right. What followed were challenging discussions around power, incentives, and how decisions are really made behind the scenes. Dean has a way of interrogating ideas rather than accepting them at face value, which is why these conversations consistently go beyond surface level commentary. This conversation moves through money, power, fear, and responsibility, exploring how people are conditioned to avoid discomfort, outsource thinking, and stay reactive rather than sovereign. It also looks at what it genuinely means to future proof your life and protect your family in an increasingly unstable world, without panic, paranoia, or blind trust in institutions. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ Dean’s journey from eight figure exit to public markets leadership. ✔ Why conversations about success rarely tell the full story. ✔ The difference between money problems and spending problems. ✔ Why people instinctively move away from pain and the long term cost of that avoidance. ✔ Power, control, and the incentives driving global decision making. ✔ What future proofing your life and family actually looks like in real terms. This episode is for people who challenge conventional thinking and want a clearer understanding of how money, power, and responsibility really operate. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Dean Kelly: 🔗 Website: https://kellstar.co.uk 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deankelly_kellstar_mentor?igsh=MTIydWpqM2locHYxaA== 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/d3anukelly?igsh=MWw5ZzBwY2g0YXp6aw==

Daniel Eggington has already completed world first expeditions in environments most people would never dare step into. No big budget. No support crew. No safety net. Just an ordinary man deciding to do something extraordinary and refusing to turn back when everything went wrong. In this episode Daniel takes us into the reality behind those missions. The failed attempts. The fear. The injuries. The wrong turns. The nights he was convinced he would not make it home. From being abandoned in the Darien Gap to navigating cartel controlled regions, crossing lethal rivers, losing supplies and fighting exhaustion, Daniel speaks openly about the moments he has never shared publicly before. But this conversation is not just about survival. It is about why he keeps going back. The drive. The purpose. The identity he built through hardship. And the way remote environments force you to confront the truth about who you are. Daniel is now preparing for the biggest challenge of his life, a world first expedition through the Congo River region. A route so dangerous and unpredictable that very few people would even attempt it. The planning, setbacks and political barriers have already begun, giving a glimpse into what he is walking towards. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ Growing up around real gang violence and the moment he realised staying in that world would destroy his future. ✔ The drastic decision he made as a young man to escape the environment he was surrounded by. ✔ Entering the Darien Gap and the exact moment his guide vanished, leaving him completely alone in one of the most lawless regions on earth. ✔ Walking through territory controlled by armed groups and the split second moment he realised a misunderstanding could turn dangerous. ✔ Running out of supplies in a hostile environment where dehydration, starvation and disorientation become lethal within hours. ✔ Waking to the sound of snakes moving around his camp and learning how to keep his nerve in areas known for crocodiles. ✔ The point exhaustion and hunger caused his mind to slip, leading to dangerous choices he had to claw back from. ✔ The unexpected local who found him during a collapse and the impact that moment had on turning the expedition around. ✔ The psychological crash after the Rio Negro and why it hit him harder than anything physical he has ever endured. ✔ The political, safety and logistical barriers already threatening the Congo world first long before he even reaches the start line.

From growing up in care to breaking world records on Everest, Kevin Godlington’s life has been anything but ordinary. He’s served in the Special Forces, worked in post conflict zones for the Foreign Office, and seen humanity at its darkest and most inspiring. But long before all of that, he was a child in the care system during the 80s and 90s, a time and place now infamous for the grooming gangs that operated in plain sight. Kevin saw it happen. He watched young girls being picked up by men four times their age while those meant to protect them looked the other way. It’s a story he’s carried ever since, and one he refuses to let be buried. In this powerful conversation, Kevin opens up about the realities of growing up in chaos, the brotherhood and brutality of Special Forces life, and the modern warfare that is no longer fought with guns but with data, propaganda and control. From Rwanda to Afghanistan, from social media manipulation to AI, nothing is off the table. He talks about the human cost of war, the dangers of propaganda, and the psychological operations shaping how we see the world today. He shares his view on China, AI, censorship, and the world we’re sleepwalking into if we keep trading freedom for convenience. It’s uncomfortable, honest and full of perspective, the kind of conversation that forces you to think differently about the world we live in. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ Growing up in care and witnessing the truth behind the grooming gangs. ✔ Finding structure and purpose through the Army and Special Forces. ✔ The record breaking Everest mission and the moment everything went wrong. ✔ How war shaped his understanding of leadership and loyalty. ✔ What Rwanda can teach us about division and human behaviour. ✔ The rise of psychological warfare and how propaganda really works. ✔ How China, Russia and Iran are already fighting a new kind of war. ✔ Why social media has become the most effective weapon ever created. ✔ The truth about AI, digital IDs and government overreach. ✔ Toxic masculinity, cancel culture and why society is being torn apart. ✔ What Kevin believes it truly means to serve humanity. Kevin Godlington is a former Special Forces operator, author and humanitarian who has dedicated his life to solving complex problems in some of the world’s toughest environments. His story is one of resilience, honesty and an unwavering belief in truth. ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Website: https://onamissionpodcast.com 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb Follow Kevin Godlington: 🔗 Website: https://thebookofman.com/author/kevingodlington/ 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevgodlington?igsh=dDMzNXgxem5iZWdw
