Paul Mort Talks Sh*t – Details, episodes & analysis

How do you rebuild your life, your business, and your identity… when you’ve been taught to handle everything alone?

In this episode, I sit down with Calum Richardson — ex-navy, business owner, and now part of Elite X — to unpack how he went from burnt out and exploding… to leading himself, his business, and trekking to Everest Base Camp.

We break down exactly how the coaching inside Alliance helped Calum:
✅ Rebuild confidence and clarity after burnout
✅ Grow his business without obsessing over it
✅ Restructure his consultancy into a purpose-led machine
✅ Take back control of his time, energy, and mission

This is what happens when a driven man gets honest, finds accountability, and stops pretending he’s fine.

If you’re a high-performing man who feels like life is running you — this episode is a wake-up call.

What we cover:
🧠 Why ex-navy conditioning nearly took Calum out
🔥 The mental toll of leading when you’re empty
📈 Growing a business by focusing on YOU
🎯 Why clarity and confidence beat more “grind”
🏔 What really happened on Everest Base Camp

How do you scale a construction company WITHOUT burning out, f*cking up your margins, or ending up back on the tools?

In this episode, I sit down with my client Ian Lambert, a builder who decided he was DONE being “just another tradesman”… and instead built a serious business.

We break down exactly how the coaching in Alliance helped Ian:
✅ Go from working IN the business to leading it
✅ Build systems that let him step back
✅ Land higher-quality clients (who pay more, expect less BS)
✅ And finally scale his construction company to the next level

This isn’t your usual “feel good” story. This is what happens when a self-employed builder gets honest, gets a roadmap, and gets to WORK.
