The Mojo Podcast

Welcome back to The Mojo Podcast. Series 6 of the Mojo Podcast is all about Commitment. A concept that has real weight and meaning for us, as we have all committed at some point in our life and perhaps you're considering a new commitment right now. It's a deeply meaningful area and I wanted to explore it further. So for this season I'll be talking to an amazing array of guests about what commitment means to them and how it impacts their Mojo. How it feels to truly commit to yourself, to your passion & your purpose and to see the results. Rather than sitting on the fence and no committing at all. Because commitment really means choosing not to have any more choice. In episode 4 I speak to LA based Comedy rebel Charlotte Fox who trained at prestigious mime and clown school in Paris. With her surreal, sassy and foxy antics, she has performed in various venues across the UK, Europe and now Los Angeles. From sell out shows at Brighton fringe, The Bosco Spiegaltent and 5* Solo Shows at Underbelly Edinburgh Fringe and collaborated with BBC Radio 4 on award winning show The Skewer. She was seen on BBC prime time TV, Jimmy Carr “Amazing performance!” She has hosted The Atrium Stage @ Wilderness festival last summer. She’s been described as: “Mighty Booshy” “Ludicrous, Surreal and Raw” “Volcanic streams of consciousness in high adrenaline comedy” … Keep up if you can! She also hosts international Yoga Retreats in Ibiza, Jamaica and Mexico.

Totally committed to what she is doing, inspiring the next generation of referees as well as greater inclusion in football as a whole.  Rebecca Welch became a football referee in 2010 but continued to work in her NHS post until 2019, before turning her attention to officiating on a full-time basis.  A true trailblazer, In 2021 she became the first woman to be appointed to referee an EFL match and followed that by becoming the first woman to referee a Premier League match in 2023.  During her career, Rebecca has also officiated games in the Women’s Super League and was referee at the 2017 and 2020 Women’s FA Cup Finals. In December 2020 she was added to UEFA’s elite women’s list, going on to referee at international level, including the Women’s World Cup in 2023.

Because commitment really means choosing not to have any more choice.  In episode 2 I meet a seriously impressive young women and the personification of commitment - Adri Brownlee - mountaineer and adventure athlete.  Adri has summited 13 of the 14 x 8000m peaks and has achieved 2 x Guinness World Records including being the youngest woman ever to summit K2.  Alongside climbing these epic peaks, she has also started her own Trekking and Expedition company – AGA Adventures – alongside her legendary climbing partner Gelje Sherpa. In 2024 she hopes to complete her 14 Peaks Project and become the youngest woman ever to climb the world’s 14 x 8000m peaks and the first British woman ever to do so. This was a highly enjoyable conversation that tracks Adri's love for the mountains back to the tender age of 8 when she pictured herself climbing Everest. The next year she became the youngest person in the UK to complete the Three Peaks Challenge aged just 9 - and where she learned she had the mountaineers mindset.  We talk about the determination required to thrive in The Death Zone (the place above 8000 metres where human literally begin to die) and also the challenges of chasing records. Adri talks vividly about what the mountains mean to her and how she is connected to them and can hear their call. A truly impressive woman totally committed to her passion and providing inspiration to everyone she meets. Mojo for Adri - when nothing can stop you, which comes from persistence and consistency. instagram: @adri.brownlee website - www.adrianabrownlee.com For corporate bookings and speaking engagments - please contact [email protected] And to meet even more athletes powered by purpose - www.athletemedia.co.uk Adri also mentioned her partner - Gelje Sherpa - @gelje_sherpa_ And her mentor - Nims Dai - @nimsdai Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.

We talk about Ben's writing process, how he get past the 'tyranny of the blank sheet of paper' and gets his words down. How he manage to balance ego and humility in the creative process and choses not to hold on too tightly to a specific outcome for his work. We also talk about his brilliant TEDxDaltVila talk and how he committed to that project and managed to remember his words! Ben also share many fabulous anecdotes about Ibiza past and present. We also recorded this overlooking the bay at Sa Caleta so you can almost hear the sunshine and feel the water.  Ben lives with his family in the hills above San Juan, and from time to time comes out to do bits of theatre too! Mojo for Ben - the source of a superpower, connection. instagram: bendunwellauthor Pine Tree Island: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pine-Tree-Island-Novel-Ibizas/dp/8409343681/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1706259225&sr=8-1 His TEDx talk is here: youtu.be/Z5SW6_Lp4HM Remember to subscribe to be notified about new episodes.

This week on The Mojo Podcast we land on a subject which is likely to effect us all at some point, to some degree. We’re talking about stress and specifically the stress that can come from working your way to the top of your game or profession and then the ongoing battle to stay there. Our conversation centres around my old industry - advertising and media. A dynamic, fast paced & intense business which I found mostly fun & enjoyable but looking back I know I was in a stressed state for more time than is probably healthy. You may have seen the brilliant dramatisation of 1960s era advertising set in New York with Don Draper as the charismatic chauvinistic brilliant and flawed lead character - well today we dip into the other reason Mad Men maybe gets its title. I’m joined by Peter Magnani - Peter was my very first boss in advertising - and I have to say with all honesty - he helped guide me and mentor me for those key early years of anyones career. We then worked in different and competitive agencies - always in touch but not close enough for me to know what he was experiencing Very candidly Peter shares his mojo story - of great success and peak moments, and of the grind and sacrifice which characterise many careers. You’ll hear that when he should have been celebrating his greatest business triumph he was actually in the midst of a profound stress-induced episode. Peter decided to make a profound change his life and founded Beam in 2019, developed on the twin foundational pillars of “open data for good” and ‘helping people to help themselves” by empowering them to better manage everyday micro-stressors and prevent them building up into anxiety or depression. Prior to launching Beam, Peter worked in the advertising and media industry at Interpublic and Omnicom across brands such as Apple, Google, and Vodafone. As with many others around the world he has in the past struggled with stress and three years ago decided to apply his knowledge of behavioural analytics, insight, and technology to developing a data-led, self-management tool that was accessible and affordable for individuals and businesses Available for free currently, Beam allows every person suffering stress to intervene on their own behalf. It helps people join the dots making life less complex and more manageable by helping people discover the “stories in their data”.
