    Episode 9 - Tim Wilde | What Fighting MMA Actually Teaches You

    What does it actually take to compete as a professional MMA fighter — and what does the sport teach you beyond fighting? Tim Wilde is one of the UK's top professional MMA fighters, with 18 wins across Bellator and the PFL. We recorded this just after one of his fights was pulled due to injury — so we start there: the mindset of dealing with setbacks when an entire training camp leads to nothing. We cover MMA weight cutting, how his training has changed as he's got older, why sleep is his biggest performance tool, and which martial arts he thinks give you the best base — for the cage and for your kids.

    Episode 8 - The Truth About UK Immigration | Harjap Bhangal

    Harjap Bhangal has been an immigration lawyer for 21 years. In August 2024, his name appeared on a threats list during the UK riots. Police evacuated his offices. He stayed anyway. In this episode we go deep on the things most people in media won't say out loud. Small boats are 3–4% of immigration — so why is that the entire conversation? Who's actually profiting from asylum seekers in hotels (it's not who you think)? What did Brexit really do to net migration? And why did Britain give up the legal right to return people to Europe — and get nothing in exchange? We also talk about the integration debate, internal racism within Asian communities, people smuggling overtaking the drug trade in revenue, and why the Denmark system won't solve the UK's problem. Then Harjap gets personal. Growing up in Romford surrounded by the National Front. Starting his legal career while fitting windows with his dad. Finding out he was having a heart attack — and telling the doctor he had the school run. And why he tells every young person the same thing: strive for excellence, not success. Honest, fact-based, and one of the best conversations I've had on this show.

    Episode 7 - CrossFit vs Hyrox - Gym Ownership Truth & Sleep Over Suplements

    Jon Aldridge has been my personal trainer for seven years. He's seen me when I'm feeling good, my most burnt out, and everything in between. That's why this conversation is different. Jon is a strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and owner of Compound Fitness and co-owner of Optimal Sports Performance (OSP) in Cannock (West Midlands, UK). He's competed in CrossFit, completed an Ironman, run marathons, and this year he's taking on an ultra marathon and competing at the Hyrox Worlds. He's been in the fitness industry long enough to have seen every trend come and go — and he's not shy about calling out what's actually worth your time. In this episode of the Life Mastery Podcast, we get into: CrossFit vs Hyrox — which builds a better athlete, and which is just better marketing The reality of owning an independent gym — the hours, the money, and what nobody tells you Hybrid training mistakes most people are making right now When fitness stops being healthy and starts being ego — and how to know which side of that line you're on Why sleep is the most powerful performance and recovery tool most of us are ignoring How AI is going to change personal training — and what good coaches need to do about it Honest conversation. No filter. Whether you're deep into CrossFit, training for Hyrox, thinking about hybrid fitness, or just trying to figure out how to train properly around a busy life — this one's for you. Life Mastery is hosted by Gurmej Singh Pawar — owner of The Meji Media Events Group. Real conversations with real people about building a life worth living.

    Episode 6 | Special Edition | Why goals don’t work

    This special New Year edition of Life Mastery is a little different, it’s just me, no guest this time. As 2026 begins, I wanted to talk about something most of us struggle with: why goals don’t actually work. Every January we set resolutions, make lists, and promise ourselves change… and yet, most people lose momentum by February. After more than 20 years running businesses, I’ve learned that success rarely comes from setting bigger goals, it comes from building better systems. In this episode, I share the real tools and habits that have helped me stay consistent, move through setbacks, and turn ideas into results. No fluff, no theory, just what’s worked for me in business and in life. If you’ve ever set goals and failed to follow through, this episode might give you the reset you need to start the year strong. #LifeMastery #Entrepreneurship #GoalSetting #Mindset #Discipline #Leadership

    Episode 5 - The real game behind the headlines: Darren Lewis on trust, growth and integrity

    I sit down with Darren Lewis, one of the most respected voices in British sports journalism and someone I’ve admired long before we arranged this conversation. We first met years ago at an event where he stayed behind long after his talk had finished, speaking with young people, listening to their stories, and encouraging them in a way that didn’t feel forced or performative. That moment told me everything about the kind of person he is. In this episode, we talk about his journey through the world of journalism, the pressures behind the headlines, and the responsibility that comes with having a platform. Darren shares honest reflections on resilience, representation, and why showing up for others matters more than ever, especially when no one is watching. Thanks for tuning in!

    Episode 3 - Ganan Kanagathurai’s From Corporate CEO to Co-Owner of Roti King!

    Ganan Kanagathurai: From Corporate Boardrooms to Queues at Roti King ✨ On this episode of Life Mastery, I sit down with my friend Ganan Kanagathurai, who has had one of the most fascinating and unconventional career journeys I know. At just 38, Ganan became CEO of Itsu, one of the UK’s most respected Asian-inspired food brands. Today, he’s the co-owner of Roti King, and if you know anything about the London food scene, you’ll know the name. Long queues, cult following, and a testament to what happens when you bet on passion over paychecks. In this conversation, we dig deep into: His leap from high-flying corporate life in London and LA to the unpredictable world of restaurants. What those years at global giants taught him — and why they didn’t fulfil him. How a heart scare forced him to ask the hardest question: When is enough, enough? Why he believes real success is about people, not titles. And what it really takes to leave the security of the boardroom for the chaos of the kitchen. This is an episode for anyone who’s wondering what ‘success’ really means, and what happens when you stop chasing status and start chasing what truly matters.If you enjoyed this episode and want to hear more, don’t forget to subscribe and follow me across all platforms:   Thanks for tuning in!
