    • The Psychology of Not Quitting with Greg Parkin
      Feb 20 2026

      Greg Parkin has exited multiple seven figure businesses, completed Ironman triathlons, and in his fifties is preparing to run 108 miles across the Pennine Way in winter. His life has been shaped by pressure, risk, discipline and a mindset built around pushing limits.

      This episode explores what it really takes to build and scale at that level. The appetite for risk. The tolerance for uncertainty. The resilience required when the stakes are high. Greg breaks down the psychology that connects entrepreneurship and endurance sport, and why the same mental traits show up in both arenas.

      We go deeper into his relationship with alcohol and how it became embedded in business culture and high performance environments. Greg shares how stress, identity and drinking were more connected than he realised, and how stepping away from alcohol sharpened his thinking, improved his stress tolerance and redirected his energy.

      Key moments include:

      ✔ Building and exiting multiple seven figure businesses.

      ✔ The psychology behind entrepreneurs who refuse to quit.

      ✔ The emotional comedown after major achievement.

      ✔ Preparing for 108 miles across the Pennine Way in his fifties.

      ✔ The mental breaking point in ultra endurance and how to push past it.

      ✔ High functioning drinking in ambitious environments.

      ✔ The stress patterns that fuel alcohol use.

      ✔ Turning discipline into long term sobriety.

      ✔ Why resilience is built through discomfort.

      A conversation about ambition, identity, endurance and the discipline required to evolve when success alone is not enough.

    • His Father Was Murdered. He Refused to Break with Gian Power
      Feb 13 2026

      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.

    • Royal Marine Commando Aaron Moon: Blown Up, Written Off, Still Standing
      Feb 6 2026

      Aaron Moon is a Royal Marine Commando whose life changed in seconds in Afghanistan when his vehicle hit an IED. He died twice on the flight home, woke from an induced coma to life changing injuries, and later faced the letter that ended his military career for good.

      In this episode, Aaron talks honestly about what came after, the denial, the loss of identity, the darkest period where he drifted and lost direction, and the moment he decided to take control again. He shares the mindset framework he built through it, why he calls it the Rebel Mindset, and how it became the foundation for rebuilding his life with purpose, direction, and momentum when everything else had been stripped away.

      Years later, Aaron came close to dying again. Another life threatening moment that forced a hard reset and exposed how easily survival can turn into stagnation if you stop pushing forward.

      Now Aaron is taking his message into prisons, working with men written off by the system, and preparing for his biggest challenge yet. Cycling Route 66 solo, 2,570 miles across America on one leg, chasing a world record, funding the challenge himself so that every penny raised goes directly to charity. This episode is for anyone navigating darkness, rebuilding after loss, or refusing to let adversity be the end of their story.

      Key moments include:

      ✔ Being blown up in Afghanistan and dying twice on the flight home.

      ✔ Why losing his military career hurt more than losing his leg.

      ✔ The denial and drifting that followed recovery.

      ✔ How the Rebel Mindset was built.

      ✔ Facing death again years later.

      ✔ Taking his work into prisons.

      ✔ Cycling Route 66 solo on one leg for a world record.
