Be Mettle: From TV Producer to Producing a £2.5 Million Men's Mental Health App. | Neil Smith | EP09
In this episode of the Leading Boldly podcast, Matt Clutterham and Jenny Jarvis welcome Neil Smith, founder and CEO of Mettle, the groundbreaking mental fitness app specifically designed for men. Join us as Neil shares his remarkable journey from a thriving career in TV production, where he helmed top UK shows like The Apprentice and Grand Designs, to tackling one of society's most pressing issues: male mental health. With a deep commitment to making mental health support more accessible and relatable for men, Neil brings a fresh, unapologetically male-focused approach to mental fitness, crafted with tools like meditation, breathwork, and self-hypnosis.
Neil opens up about his experiences growing up with ADHD, his early entrepreneurial spirit selling mixtapes, and how these influences, combined with a passion for meditation, fuelled his transition from media mogul to mental health advocate. We delve into the founding of Mettle in 2022, a venture inspired by Neil’s personal journey and developed alongside notable co-founder Bear Grylls and mental health experts like Paul McKenna and Dr Alex George. Despite launching in a challenging funding climate, Mettle has already raised £2.5 million in pre-seed funding, attracting around 50,000 users within just eight months.
Highlights of the episode include:
• Neil’s Transition from TV to Tech
From producing award-winning TV shows to creating a men’s mental health app, Neil reflects on his career shift and the insights he’s carried over from media to mental health tech.
• The Development and Unique Approach of Mettle
We explore how Mettle is crafted to address specific needs for men through brief, daily content – from calming breathwork and meditation “boosts” to one-minute motivational “mind fuel” clips – designed to fit seamlessly into a man’s day.
• Strategies for Business Success
Neil discusses the importance of building a strong, diverse team and the value of "finding the others" – making key connections in the industry. His approach to balancing social impact with commercial growth has been vital in Mettle’s early success and user growth.
• Tackling the Male Mental Health Crisis
With suicide as a leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, Mettle is part of a broader mission to bring mental fitness alongside physical fitness into everyday life. Neil shares his vision for how normalising mental health practices among men can lead to positive societal changes.
Tune in to hear Neil’s insights on entrepreneurship, leadership, and the transformative power of mental fitness tailored for men. Mettle is not only a business; it’s a mission-driven effort to reshape the conversation around men’s mental health.

Leading Accidental Managers: Expert HR Tips for Delegation, Team Motivation, and Building a Positive Work Culture | Marion Parrish | EP08
In this episode of Leading BOLDLY, we dive into the world of "accidental managers" with Marion Parrish, HR expert and author of The Accidental Manager’s Guide to Leading a Team. Marion shares her invaluable insights on how many managers—often promoted for their technical skills—are unprepared for leadership roles.
Drawing from her extensive career in HR with top companies like BT and AIG, Marion discusses the importance of understanding individual team members' motivations and how effective delegation is more than just offloading tasks. She also emphasises the critical need for organisations to invest in management development, given that 82% of new managers lack formal training.
Listen in as Marion covers practical tips on:
• Shifting from "doer" to leader
• Planning for successful delegation
• Creating a positive work environment
• Handling difficult conversations with confidence
• Balancing performance and employee wellbeing
Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a new business owner, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you lead your team with clarity and confidence.
