Podcasts about Hamish

Join us as Hamish addresses final portion of the prologue of the Gospel of John (John 1:14-18), specifically exploring the significance of the statement: "The Word became flesh". The message is structured around three primary questions: what the incarnation means, why it happened, and how we can believe it.

Kemi Badenoch is the Conservative MP for North West Essex and the Leader of the Opposition. Since winning her seat in 2017, she has held cabinet positions as Minister of State for Equalities under Boris Johnson and Secretary of State for International Trade under Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. She became leader of the Conservative Party in 2024 after Rishi Sunak's resignation and is the first black person to lead a political party in Britain. Her Nigerian parents came to Britain for medical treatment and Kemi was born in a private hospital in Wimbledon in January 1980. Her parents returned with their newborn daughter, and she was brought up in Nigeria in an affluent suburb of Lagos. After a series of military coups and economic downturns, her family, along with many other middle-class families in Nigeria saw their wealth decline and Kemi was sent to London to study for her A levels.Instead of following her parents into medicine, she chose to pursue Computer Systems Engineering and went to Sussex University. A well-paid career in IT followed and she joined the Conservative Party aged twenty-five where she also met her husband, Hamish. Her first attempt at becoming an MP was in 2010 in Dame Tessa Jowell's former constituency of Dulwich and West Norwood constituency in London. She finished third behind the Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates.In 2017, she was selected for the Saffron Walden seat and became an MP.She lives in London with her husband and three children and divides her time between Westminster and her constituency of North West Essex.DISC ONE: The Story of Tonight - Lin-Manuel Miranda, Okieriete Onaodowan, Daveed Diggs, Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton DISC TWO: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson DISC THREE: Wonderful World - Sam Cooke DISC FOUR: Be Still - Aled Jones and English Session Orchestra DISC FIVE: Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) - Baz Luhrmann DISC SIX: Love is All Around - Wet Wet Wet DISC SEVEN: Carry You Home – Alex Warren DISC EIGHT: Dear Theodosia - Leslie Odom Jr., Lin-Manuel Miranda BOOK CHOICE: Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray LUXURY ITEM: The Marvel Movie Collection with a solar-powered DVD player CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Sarah TaylorDesert Island Discs has cast many politicians away to the island over the years including Sir Keir Starmer, Nicola Sturgeon, Sir Vince Cable, Theresa May, Ed Miliband, Boris Johnson and Margaret Thatcher.

Two years ago, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in a Siberian penal colony. There was an outcry and many suspected foul play, but nothing could be proved. That is until last weekend, when five European countries including the UK announced that they had made a startling discovery: Navalny had been killed with a rare frog poison.How was the poison was identified, how were the samples smuggled out of Russia, and why does the evidence point directly to Moscow?Venetia and Arthur speak to former commanding officer of the UK's Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Regiment and Telegraph columnist, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, and Dr Gemma Bowsher, Senior Research Associate for the Centre for Conflict and Health Research at Kings College London.Producer: Sophie O'SullivanExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsStudio Operator: Meghan Searle► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Hamish hunts seals to help his poor family—but his choice leads him into a dark and mysterious adventure

The Kremlin has denied using a dart frog toxin to kill Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in 2024.But Britain and four European allies say they have evidence that points to the use of the forbidden chemical agent.Why did the allies choose the Munich security conference to make this point? And how has Moscow responded to the claims?Gareth is joined by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon - former head of British Army's chemical weapons unit - and defence analyst Michael Clarke to discuss whether Russia wanted the world to know how they carried out Navalny's death and ask should the UK be ready for chemical warfare with Russia?Producer: Tom Gillespie and Emily HulmeEditor: Philly Beaumont

Learning how to pray the way Jesus Himself taught us is such a valuable thing for the Christian life. In this message, we get super practical about what prayer looks like in our day-to-day.

High-performance building is not just about premium products. It is about the system. In this episode, we sit down with Sven Maxa from Maxa Design to unpack what Passive House building really looks like behind the scenes, from airtightness targets to the practical realities of delivering high-performance homes on site.This conversation flips the usual format, with Sven taking the lead and putting us (Hamish and Matt) in the hot seat. We get into the details that actually make or break a Passive House project, including airtightness testing, verification, contract clarity, and what happens when documentation looks great in renders but does not hold up on a building site.A major theme is collaboration between the architect, designer, builder, and trades. Passive House and building science only works when the whole team is aligned early, with transparent cost planning, clear communication, and strong documentation to avoid rework, delays, and budget blowouts.We wrap by looking at what needs to change in the Australian construction industry to lift standards at scale. Better legislation, better education, and a stronger baseline for residential construction.

Hamish explores Psalm 127, contrasting a self-directed life—marked by restless striving—with a God centered life that offers genuine peace. Through personal stories, including mowing lawns and meeting his wife's brothers, he shows how biblical images of family and heritage highlight God as our true provider. He reminds listeners that through Jesus, everyone is welcomed into a spiritual family that brings comfort in anxious seasons. Hamish closes by sharing his brother's journey as an example of how trusting God brings transformation, followed by a communal prayer and an invitation to connect with a faith community.________________________ If you need prayer, we're here for you.

Much buzz about a possible NATO Arctic Sentry operation helped calm Donald Trump's talk of taking over Greenland, and the UK is one of the big backers. But do we have enough troops properly trained to operate in some of the world's harshest conditions Ex-Royal Marine Tip Cullen shares the hard realities, including freezing eyeballs, while former Infantry officer Ed Arnold assesses whether it would be a worthwhile use of troops. As a project leader is sacked, and the Defence Secretary says it's nearly “back or scrap” time for the Ajax armoured vehicle programme, former tank commander Hamish de Bretton-Gordon gives his verdict from a test drive. And Professor Michael Clarke has read the new US Defense Strategy so you don't have to. Spoiler alert – it namechecks President Trump more than fifty times, but says nothing about troop numbers.

Day 1,432.Today, as Kyiv endures sub-zero temperatures, we report on Russia's latest mass aerial attack on the city, carried out even as trilateral so-called peace talks were taking place in Abu Dhabi over the weekend. We examine Steve Witkoff's latest visit to Moscow – he has still yet to travel to Ukraine – and ask why Russia is now pushing the opaque “Alaska formula” in a bid to secure territory it has failed to seize by force. And later, Francis Dearnley and Hamish de Bretton-Gordon visit the British Army's Land Warfare Centre, where the next generation of soldiers is learning the lessons of the war in Ukraine.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Hamish De Bretton-Gordon (Former British Army Tank Commander). @HamishDBGon on X.With thanks to Colonel Thurston from the Land Warfare Centre.

In this episode, I'm joined by a great friend and someone I had the pleasure of meeting in person in Dublin — Hamish Knox.Hamish is the Founder of Sandler Training Calgary, a leadership coach, author, and high-performance practitioner who doesn't just talk about scalable sales and leadership — he builds it.We go deep into:The human side of sales performanceWhy preparation alone is never enoughHow adaptability under pressure separates average sellers from elite performersWhat endurance sport (cross-country skiing & trail running) teaches us about consistency, mindset, and resilienceWhy sales plans rarely survive first contact with another human beingThis is a conversation about congruence — how what we do in our personal lives directly mirrors how we show up professionally.✔ Sales psychology & human behaviour✔ Neuroscience and decision-making under pressure✔ Adaptability in live sales conversations✔ Scalable leadership without scripts or gimmicks✔ Why mindset beats methodology when conditions change✔ Lessons from elite sport applied to sales & leadershipIf you work in sales, leadership, coaching, or high-performance environments, this episode will challenge how you think about preparation, control, and results.You can have:The best sales processThe best tech stackThe perfect pre-call planAnd still fail — because the moment you engage another human being, everything changes.Just like endurance sport, success in sales isn't about perfect conditions.It's about adjusting in real time while staying aligned with the outcome.That's the real skill.

What happens when midlife hits… and you're already sober?In this brilliantly honest and often hilarious episode, Vic is flying solo (Hamish wisely sat this one out) to chat with author Dana Bowman, a woman who thought she had long-term sobriety nailed, until menopause, food, marriage, parenting, body image, and a global pandemic all piled in at once.Dana's story, told in her book Humble Pie, is about far more than sobriety. It's about what happens when recovery collides with midlife. As menopause crept in, Dana found herself veering into binge eating and food addiction, struggling with comparison, scrolling, isolation, and frantic over-exercising. Just when she thought she'd dealt with the big stuff, life threw everything else at her… and eventually forced a reckoning.Vic hasn't read Humble Pie yet, but after hearing Dana talk about relapse, HRT, sugar cravings, dopamine dips, invisible women, and upgrading her sobriety toolkit, she knows it's going to be a wildly relatable ride. Expect real talk about perfectionism, changing bodies, and why custard creams sometimes end up doing the emotional heavy lifting.Whether you're pre, peri or post-menopause, or just quietly wondering why life feels harder than it used to, this one's for anyone who's ever felt like they were falling apart… and learning to laugh their way through it anyway.

Hamish Gill is a photographer, entrepreneur and founder. For over a decade he has run 35mmc, a website about film photography started, as you'll hear, because of a 35mm compact camera that inspired him. Hamish loves image making shooting digital, film and tons of vintage lenses so was an ideal Prime Lenses guest.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

If you don't plan your year, your year will plan you. And most people don't realise this until they're exhausted, overbooked, chasing goals that never landed, and wondering why the life they wanted still feels just out of reach. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how Hamish and I plan our entire year in just a few focused hours, and why this process has changed everything for us, our business, our income, our energy, and our family life. This is how we stop reacting and start leading a year on purpose. In this episode, we cover: Why pipe dreams stay pipe dreams without structure How your calendar quietly dictates your income, content, and capacity The power of choosing a word of the year and letting it guide decisions How we map an entire year without burnout or overwhelm Why promotions, launches, and visibility must be planned early How to create space for strategy and magic at the same time The biggest mistake people make when planning a new year “You can't co-create with the universe if you haven't even opened your diary.”

Warning: This episode contains an alarming amount of chat about a mysterious stranger called Derek and more casual mentions of “minge” in the first four minutes than any of us could ever have anticipated. It is funny, honest, slightly feral… and absolutely not one for the school run. Best enjoyed with headphones on and children safely out of earshot.So, you've just started your sober journey? Doing Dry January? Or quietly wondering what life might look like without booze? This episode is your brutally honest, slightly emotional roadmap through your first 30 days alcohol-free.Vic and Hamish take you through sobriety week by week, honestly unpacking what really happens to your body, brain, sleep, mood, social life, trousers, and overall sanity as alcohol slowly leaves the stage. Alongside plenty of science, swearing, and questionable oversharing, there are also genuinely tender moments where you might realise… you are actually doing this. Today we explore those early sugar cravings and wobbles, the sudden bursts of confidence that can catch you out, the strange emotional storms that roll in around Week Two, the clearer thinking and calmer days that begin to appear in Week Three, and that brilliant Week Four moment when you look at yourself and think, “Hang on… this might actually work.If you are five days in, swaying at day twelve, feeling uncertain at day twenty, or simply curious about how sobriety unfolds in real life, this episode gives you reassurance, humour, relatable stories, and genuinely helpful tools to get through it.You are not broken, you are healing. And honestly, you are doing something extraordinary.Press play, take a breath… and welcome to the awkward, hopeful, quietly life-changing first month of sober life.

Don't Set Goals for 2026 Until You Do This If 2025 stretched you, challenged you, or changed you, this episode is your reset. Before you start planning 2026, download our annual Goals & Intentions Workbook and follow this process with us.

In this gloriously unhinged episode, Vic and Hamish find themselves in that awkward festive no-man's-land between Christmas and New Year – gravy-stained, confused about the day, and dangerously close to eating a whole tin of Quality Street in one sitting.But fear not. Among the leftover potatoes and peri-menopausal meltdowns, your sober elves are here with a very handy toolkit to help you navigate New Year's Eve without diving headfirst into a bucket of prosecco.Yep, we're diving deep into why your mindset matters more than the perfect mocktail, how to handle your Aunt Karen when she calls you a party pooper, and what to do when the countdown begins and you suddenly feel the urge to shove someone for no reason at all. Plus, we make a strong case for why being tucked up in bed with a hot water bottle and a forensic crime doco by 9.07pm might actually be the ultimate New Year flex.We also discuss frogs. Yes, frogs. There's a weird moment where Vic tries to convince us all that carrying a tiny frog in your pocket on NYE can help you stay sober – and somehow, it makes sense. (Just go with it.)You'll also hear about our own cringey NYEs from the boozy past – from driveway spews to mysterious cardigans and rashy regrets – and how we've now completely redefined this weird night of the year into something we actually enjoy.So whether this is your first sober New Year or your fifteenth, come hang out with us and feel smug, steady, and slightly feral in the best way possible.This one's all about preparing your brain, not just your beverage list.Let's make it awkward, weird, frog-friendly… and totally unforgettable.
