Dean Kelly returns to the On a Mission podcast for one of the most anticipated conversations we have released.

 

Dean founded his first business at 27, sold it to a PLC for an eight figure exit, and became a liquid multi millionaire by 30. He went on to become the youngest CEO on the UK stock market and has since built, scaled, and exited multiple businesses. On paper, the story could stop there. It never does.

 

Dean originally came on the podcast to talk about those achievements. Our conversations never stay there. We first connected during the pandemic, at a time when much of the official narrative did not sit right. What followed were challenging discussions around power, incentives, and how decisions are really made behind the scenes. Dean has a way of interrogating ideas rather than accepting them at face value, which is why these conversations consistently go beyond surface level commentary.

 

This conversation moves through money, power, fear, and responsibility, exploring how people are conditioned to avoid discomfort, outsource thinking, and stay reactive rather than sovereign. It also looks at what it genuinely means to future proof your life and protect your family in an increasingly unstable world, without panic, paranoia, or blind trust in institutions.

Key moments include:

✔ Dean’s journey from eight figure exit to public markets leadership.

✔ Why conversations about success rarely tell the full story.

✔ The difference between money problems and spending problems.

✔ Why people instinctively move away from pain and the long term cost of that avoidance.

✔ Power, control, and the incentives driving global decision making.

✔ What future proofing your life and family actually looks like in real terms.

 

This episode is for people who challenge conventional thinking and want a clearer understanding of how money, power, and responsibility really operate.
