Today's guest is Azeem Amir. Azeem is 25 and has been visually impaired since birth.

However, he has never let it be a barrier to success. Azeem plays Blind Football professionally for the England and Great Britain blind football team and is working towards achieving international success. Playing across the globe he and the team are aiming to qualify for the next Paralympics. His football skills on the pitch have paved the way for him to be a part of several national and international media campaigns, working with brands from an array of industries from across the globe.

Alongside his football, Azeem has also just completed a Master’s Degree from the University of Salford.

Azeem Amir recently became the youngest blind person to complete Tough Mudder; a gruelling 12-mile obstacle course, featuring muddy ditches, huge walls and electric fences, raising substantial funds for charity! Since running Tough Mudder, Azeem has risen to fame as a highly respected advocate for disability rights. He is now an ambassador for several disability awareness charities and organizations and through public speaking (TedTalks), coaching and workshops aims to inspire as many young people as possible to achieve their own version of success. He has just stepped into the world of Enterprise launching his own organisation called Learn With ESS, with the ESS standing for education, sport and speaking.

My guest in epsiode 5 of series 6 is Sam Dean - co-founder of theHub Ibiza A very special professional community space where I live and where I’m a long standing member. Forget what you think you know about co-working spaces, what Sam and the team have created is much more as he’ll explain

This is a refreshingly candid conversation about founder energy, being an entrepreneur and a leader of a fast scaling business - which happens to be in one of the most well-known islands in the world. Professional life and Ibiza I hear you ask - isn’t that a contradiction in terms? Absolutely not AND it also adds a special flavour to Sam’s approach to business, to how he personally gets his inspiration and vision and how he makes decisions

We cover a lot of ground, Sam shares his wisdom and the benefit of his experience - the highs and the lows - we talk about Trust in your self and team, how he moves from being the Ideas guy to Executing and creating, how he escapes from short term thinking and gains his much wider perspective. And of course how’s he’s been able to commit to this project when there are so many shiny new things to chase

Mojo for Sam - energy, vitality, outlook and perspective

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.

In episode 3 I talk to Rebecca Welch - a genuine trailblazer in her field. 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.

See more on her Wikipedia page

Mojo for Becs - it's your get up and go - a positive mindset.

Thanks to PGMOL for their support in making this conversation happen

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.
