Ricky Hatton gave everything to boxing, and in this episode of On a Mission, he shares why walking away from the sport was never something he’s looked back on or regretted. After all he’s been through, it’s inspiring to see that he’s now happier than ever.

Ricky opens up about the struggles he faced after retirement, how close he came to making an irreversible decision, and how turning his life around has made him more passionate than ever about speaking up on mental health. He’s seen both sides—the highest highs, the lowest lows—and now, he’s making sure others know they’re never alone in the fight.

We also dive into his thoughts on Tyson Fury’s career—how he’s achieved more than anyone expected, even after back-to-back losses to Usyk. Plus, we discuss the injection of Saudi money into boxing, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, and how the sport is changing with the rise of crossover fights—Jake Paul, YouTubers, MMA fighters stepping into the ring with pros. Is it good for boxing, or just a circus?

And beyond all that, we talk about the unexpected opportunities that have come his way—his Sky documentary, Dancing on Ice, and the new life he’s built since stepping away from the ring.

Raw, real, and full of heart—this is Ricky Hatton, still the nation’s favourite fighter.

In this episode, I sit down with Steven Bartlett – the youngest-ever investor on Dragons’ Den, founder of The Social Chain, and one of the UK’s most influential entrepreneurs. Steven’s story isn’t your typical success tale. He dropped out of school with nothing and built a multi-million-pound empire by going against the grain.

This conversation isn’t something you hear every day. Getting one of the UK’s most talked-about entrepreneurs to sit on the other side of the mic is rare – and in this interview, Steven gets real. He talks about the struggles, the tough decisions, and the mindset that’s led him to where he is now.

We don’t hold back. Steven opens up about what it really takes to succeed, why he doesn’t buy into conventional success, and why he’s more interested in growth and impact than chasing fame or external validation.

This isn’t just another business chat – it’s a deep dive into what it means to break the rules, embrace failure, and keep pushing for something greater. Whether you’re in business or just figuring it out, Steven’s perspective will make you rethink what success really looks like.

Tune in for a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential voices in the UK, and get an insight into the journey you won’t find anywhere else.

This week on the On a Mission podcast, I’m joined by Tanya Bardsley from The Real Housewives of Cheshire.

On the surface, Tanya seemed to have it all—luxury, success, and the glamorous lifestyle that many envy. But behind closed doors, she was fighting mental health battles that left her feeling broken and suicidal. In this conversation, Tanya opens up about living undiagnosed with ADHD for years, the challenges she faced, and how getting diagnosed has changed her life.

This episode is a reminder that we never truly know what others are going through, no matter how perfect their lives may seem on the outside. Honest conversations like this help give people the courage to speak out, acknowledge their own mental health struggles, and seek support when they need it most.

We cover a lot in this conversation, so make sure you listen to the full episode. Tune in now on Apple or wherever you get your podcasts, and head to Spotify for the full video version.

This week’s episode will stop you in your tracks.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra is not just one of Britain’s most influential cardiologists; he’s also a world-renowned authority on heart disease prevention and a trailblazer in the lifestyle medicine movement. Ranked as the leading global voice on obesity thinking, he’s never shied away from tackling the big issues head-on.

But Dr. Malhotra’s journey took a tragic turn during the pandemic, leading him to question everything he once believed. From publicly backing “traditional vaccines as the safest” on Good Morning Britain to uncovering disturbing evidence about mRNA vaccines and their potential links to heart disease, Dr Malhotra is now calling for urgent change in vaccine guidance.

In this eye-opening conversation, we explore how evidence-based medicine has been manipulated by governments and Big Pharma, prioritising profits over public health. From the overprescription of drugs to the fraudulent nature of medical trials, Dr. Malhotra pulls back the curtain on a deeply flawed system—one he’s been challenging for over a decade, often at great personal cost.

Prepare for a deep dive into the murky world of modern medicine and the power dynamics shaping global healthcare. This is an episode that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew.
