The Story of Ukraine's Foreign Legion - a modern day Homage to Catalonia

If you want a fascinating look into the stories of why those in the West gave up their lives and came to Ukraine to fight, then have a listen to this episode. I had the pleasure of speaking with the British journalist Colin Freeman who did extensive interviews, trips, and research into the stories of foreign fighters who joined Ukraine's foreign legion. Who are these guys? Why did they join? What do the American fighters think about Trump's policy towards Ukraine? About the Guest Colin Freeman is a former chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Telegraph, now a freelance foreign affairs journalist. He writes features, comment and book reviews for The Daily Telegraph, as well as for The Spectator, The Economist, and The National in Abu Dhabi. He contributes regularly to BBC Radio Four.

They Save Lives at the Front - But Who Saves Them? The Story of the NGO RePower and its Founders

It was an absolute pleasure to do this podcast - the first one I have done live, in person at my guests' office in the center of Kyiv. (Hence some of the side comments and background noise!) I had the honor of speaking with the Co-Founders of RePower NGO, Sebastian Lindstrom and Maryna Sadikova - such inspired and inspirational people who you can't help but feel the warmth, drive, and energy flowing from them. And they're doing awesome work. This episode follows upon my podcast in June with the press officer of the 37th Marine Brigade regarding The Lanterns, a documentary they filmed with United24 covering their program of providing psychological rehabilitation for frontline medics and doctors in the forests of Sweden. Listen in for more details on Sebastian and Maryna's personal journey, their motivation for serving the frontline medics, most emotionally compelling experience in supporting the medics, and what they want Westerners to take away from watching the documentary.

US Army Veteran Finds Purpose and Meaning in Ukraine

I had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Hendrickson, a former US Army Green Beret who spent years in Afghanistan, lost a leg, and has now devoted the last several years of his life to helping Ukraine. As so many veterans struggle with life after service, Ryan found meaning and purpose again in Ukraine. Devoting his life to helping others who are struggling and protecting those from being harmed has been therapeutic, and serves as a critical lesson for veterans back in the US and elsewhere but also the Ukrainian veterans now and in the future. Please consider supporting Ryan's work, and find out more information about Tip of the Spear, at: https://landmineremoval.org/ To connect and message with Mark on LinkedIn:www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mcnamee-58950910 To learn more, visit:https://ubn.network/ Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/Mark-McNamee/ If you found this episode valuable, follow the podcast and share it with someone who wants to better understand the war in Ukraine.

PLAY ON! What the World Cup Teaches Us About Humanity, Identity, and Connection

The World Cup is more than a tournament. It’s a global classroom—a living, breathing lesson in humanity. On the pitch, legends like Alphonso Davies, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé show us what excellence looks like. But in the stands, in the streets, and across the world, something even more powerful happens: Families travel together. Communities gather. People spend thousands of dollars to be part of something bigger than themselves. Cultures collide—and connect. Hearts sync—literally sync—in shared emotion. This episode, PLAY ON! What the World Cup Teaches Us About Humanity, Identity, and Connection, draws on powerful insights from past Coach’s Corner conversations with Nadine Zeinoun, Loren Rosario Maldonado, and Brian McIntosh to explore why this global event moves us so deeply—and what it reveals about who we are.

Documenting the horrors of Russia's invasion - a chat with the head of the UN Human Rights Mission in Ukraine

We all read in history books the horrors of World War II, and collectively said "never again". Yet here we are in Europe, and it's happening again. Far too often I speak with those outside of Ukraine who have either forgotten about what Russia has done to innocent civilians in Ukraine or who are entirely unaware of what has happened. To help correct that, I was motivated to do this podcast with the head of the UN Human Rights Mission in Ukraine, Danielle Bell. The sharp rise in indiscriminate attacks on civilians lately, the kidnapped children, the torture of Ukrainian POWs, the "dire" situation for Ukrainians in Russian-occupied territory, and much more - we cover as much as possible to remind the world of the horrors of what Russia has done in Ukraine. Please do share this episode to help keep up awareness. It's concerning how many people outside Ukraine are unaware of the severity of what Russia has done here. Reports cited in the show: UN report on "human safari" - https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/05/un-commission-concludes-russian-armed-forces-drone-attacks-against-civiliansUN report on forced displacement - https://ukraine.ohchr.org/en/Forced-displacement-from-territory-of-Ukraine-occupied-by-the-Russian-FederationUN report on impact on children - https://ukraine.ohchr.org/en/The-impact-of-the-armed-conflict-and-occupation-on-childrens-rights-in-Ukraine-24-February-2022-31-December-2024 About the Guest Danielle Bell is the Head of Mission, UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU). She has led UN human rights programs for more than 25 years, working mainly in conflict and post-conflict contexts. Prior to coming to Ukraine, Ms. Bell served as the Chief of the Human Rights Office in the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and the representative in Iraq of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), a position she held since 2018, after leading the UN human rights component in Afghanistan at the same level 2015 to 2018. Since 2001, Ms. Bell has also led human rights teams within UN peace missions in South Sudan, Central African Republic, Sudan (Darfur) and Timor-Leste.

Episode 100 — The Journey, The Lessons, and The Lift-Off: How I Got Here… and How You Can Too… & What the Artemis II Mission Taught Me and Can Teach You

One hundred episodes. It’s more than a number. It’s a journey. A discipline. A testimony. Most people see the finished product — the polished episode, the smooth delivery, the message that lands. But behind every episode is a process: clarity, creativity, humility, and consistency. And behind that process is a story — a family, a legacy, a lineage. From the first recording to the hundredth, this podcast has been shaped by the people who shaped me: My wife, who believed in the mission;My children, who remind me why identity matters;And my father, whose life and lessons still echo in my spirit.From James Clear to Brené Brown, from Simon Sinek to Malcolm Gladwell — the message is the same:Success is not a moment. It’s a rhythm. A practice. A long obedience in the same direction. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay committed to a dream, how to build something meaningful, or how to keep going when the results aren’t immediate — this episode is for you.

Russia is Losing at the Front: Ukraine Takes Back the Technological Edge

I for one became super encouraged for Ukraine after doing this interview. The last few months, and specifically the past few weeks, things have taken a turn for Ukraine on the battlefield. Ukraine has taken back more land than Russia has gained lately. Ukraine is eliminating more men than Russia can recruit. Ukraine has taken back the technological edge. And Ukraine is now winning. Tune in to this one for some optimism regarding Ukraine's fight on the battlefield. I had the pleasure to have back on the show my friend and great war correspondent, Giorgio Provinciali, who has see it all across the entire front the last 4 years. We talked about the fight underground, above ground, in the air, middle range, and long range for a comprehensive picture of what has developed at the front and why we should expect good things ahead for Ukraine. About the Guest: Giorgio Provinciali, War Correspondent, Writes from the trenches of democracy in Ukraine. Engineer, journalist, war reporter. Medium writer since November 2023.

Is Russia a Fascist State? (Part 2)

Not exactly a spoiler alert, but you can likely imagine the answer provided to this question in the podcast here today. In Part 2 of this discussion, I continue my conversation with Dr. Taras Kuzio, who was on earlier this year in a great show where we discussed whether Ukraine has a Nazi problem. He is joined by Dr. Ian Garner, prominent British-born historian and specialist in Russian war propaganda and military culture, with a focus on the indoctrination of Russia’s youth. Denazification of Ukraine has been used as a justification of this war in Ukraine by Putin since the start of the full-scale invasion in Feb 2022. Critically, this was a masterful move as Russians quickly got behind this war in strong support. Putin tapped into Russia’s sense of heroism and glory in defeating the original German Nazis and by successfully – though falsely – castigating Ukrainians in the same light as Russia’s greatest enemy in living memory in the Germans, Putin succeeded in getting high popular support for this war and for himself. However, in reality, we should be looking at Putin’s Russia to see if we can find the true Nazis and real fascism. Dr Kuzio and Dr Garner co-authored the piece from 2025 - Russia and Modern Fascism: New Perspectives on the Kremlin's War Against Ukraine. About the Guests: Dr. Kuzio is a British professor of Political Science Kyiv Mohyla University. His area of study is Russian and Ukrainian political, economic and security affairs, and he has contributed pieces to the Atlantic Council and Foreign Affairs.Dr. Ian Garner is British-born historian and specialist in Russian war propaganda and military culture, with a focus on the indoctrination of Russia’s youth. Teaches Totalitarian Studies at the Pilecki Institute in Warsaw, Poland. He is the author of Z Generation: Into the Heart of Russia's Fascist Youth (2023) and has been featured prominently in media.

The Life of a Frontline Medic

I had the pleasure of meeting Denys and other members of his brigade at the showing of a documentary The Lanterns in Kyiv the weekend before the recording of this podcast. The documentary highlighted the heroic efforts of frontline medics in saving lives, while of course putting their own lives in danger. Their story is worth telling and listening to in order to get a better feel for life at the front and the extreme brutality of this war. Thanks to Denys and the heroes of the 37th Marine Brigade for their daily courageous work which never ends. About the GuestDenys Bobkov is the Press officer of the 37th Marine Brigade.
