In this episode Mark sits down with Andy Mant, founder of Bon Charge, to explore how the modern world is quietly hijacking our biology through light. We talk about how artificial lighting, screens, and constant stimulation are disrupting our circadian rhythms, driving stress, poor sleep, and metabolic dysfunction and why something as simple as getting morning sunlight and managing blue light at night can radically shift your energy and health. This conversation is a deep dive into how our environment shapes our nervous system and how reclaiming your relationship with light might be one of the most powerful and overlooked ways to change your life.
Andy Mant is a global leader in the wellness technology industry, known for building BON CHARGE into a multimillion-dollar direct-to-consumer brand focused on red light therapy, PEMF, circadian lighting and other cutting edge wellness technology targeting longevity. With a personal and professional journey deeply rooted in performance optimisation, mitochondrial health, and innovation, Andy brings easy to understand science- backed insights and no-BS truth to every interview.

#492: Stop Negotiating With Future You
Monday, December 29, 2025 • Duration 37:28
In this episode I share a raw, unexpected series of moments—that all converge on one unavoidable truth: life is fragile, and integrity can’t wait. I explore how incongruence slowly kills our aliveness, how the smallest compromises quietly accumulate, and why waiting for the “right time” is the most dangerous lie we tell ourselves. This is a direct, unfiltered invitation to stop negotiating with your future self, to reclaim your attention from the distractions anesthetizing your potential, and to live in alignment with what you already know is true. Because every choice you make is either life-affirming or life-draining, and one day, you won’t have the luxury of pretending otherwise.

#401: The Shadow Side of "Goodness" | Part 2
Thursday, August 22, 2024 • Duration 17:13
In this episode (the second of a two-part series), I explore the shadow side of goodness in our society, highlighting how well-intentioned actions can sometimes lead to harm. I examine how ideologies, often cloaked in moralistic beliefs, can stifle open dialogue and contribute to cancel culture and disconnection in our relationships. Through my personal journey in the political landscape, I talk about the importance of seeking truth and engaging with diverse perspectives. This episode serves as a call to recognize the mechanisms influencing our beliefs and offers an invitation to pursue deeper, more compassionate connections in both personal and collective interactions.

#399: The Shadow Side of "Goodness" | Part 1
Thursday, August 15, 2024 • Duration 14:11
In this episode, we dive into the complexities of the often-hidden, manipulative aspects of goodness and niceness within relationships. While these traits are typically seen as virtuous, they can sometimes stem from low self-worth and a deep need for validation, ultimately breeding mistrust. We explore the dynamics of people-pleasing, its connection to resentment, and the critical importance of setting healthy boundaries to disrupt patterns that impede personal growth and authentic connection. Additionally, we examine codependency and how it distorts our understanding of love and support. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on recognizing your own relational patterns, the societal impact of perceived goodness, and ways to cultivate healthier, more genuine relationships rooted in mutual respect.
