    Ep . 17 Unexpected Questions for Paul Mort

    You might think you know Paul Mort — the high-energy speaker, no-BS business coach, and straight-talking voice in the world of personal growth. But in this Q+A we take a slightly different route. We asked the deep questions and Paul delivered. The answers go beyond the typical business chat and into the stuff that actually matters — fear, failure, self-trust, sobriety, emotional healing, and what it really means to build a values-driven life. Paul opens up in a way that’s unfiltered, funny, and unexpectedly emotional — sharing stories that rarely make it into interviews and reflecting on the inner battles that shaped his journey. This is not your standard Paul Mort conversation. And that’s exactly why you need to hear it. For more from Paul www.paulmort.uk Please follow, comment and review.
