Simon Mundie is a British journalist, broadcaster, author, and mental health speaker known for his deeply insightful work around performance, wellbeing, and human potential. As a speaker, he combines a calm, clear delivery with thought-provoking ideas that challenge conventional narratives about success and fulfilment. Drawing on personal experience, high-profile interviews, and psychological research, Simon engages audiences across sectors — from elite sport to corporate environments — with themes of inner alignment, flow states, and the importance of redefining self-worth.
Simon began his career as a sports journalist, working for BBC Radio 1 as their main sports presenter for eight years. He covered major global events such as the London 2012 Olympics and 2014 Brazil World Cup, later contributing to BBC TV’s Wimbledon coverage and Radio 4’s Today programme. These early roles allowed him to build rapport with elite athletes and observe the mental demands of high-level performance first-hand. Over time, Simon’s curiosity turned inward, prompting a shift from reporting external achievements to exploring the mindset and philosophy behind true performance and wellbeing.
In recent years, Simon has become a prominent voice in the wellbeing and personal development space. His podcast, ‘A New Way of Being’, explores the inner lives of high achievers and spiritual thinkers, featuring guests like Peter Crone and Rupert Spira. He is also the host of ‘The Life Lessons Podcast’, where he has interviewed world-class figures including Jonny Wilkinson, Caitlyn Jenner, and Ronnie O’Sullivan. His debut book, ‘Champion Thinking’, has been praised for its practical wisdom and exploration of flow, performance, and presence, with endorsements from leaders in sport and philosophy alike.
Simon is hired as a mental health speaker because he brings together the credibility of his broadcasting background, the insight of lived experience, and a rare ability to speak across disciplines. Whether addressing corporate audiences, NHS teams, or high performers, he reframes wellbeing as not something to strive for, but something to reconnect with. His sessions are both grounding and transformative, helping people to access their innate calm, resilience, and clarity — regardless of their field or experience.
