EP73 Paul Mort | Moments, Motivation and Mentors | Local Heroes Podcast

Paul Mort is known for his energy, honesty and no-nonsense approach to business and life, but behind the success is a story very few people know. In this episode, Paul opens up about building a business from nothing, surviving depression and suicidal thoughts, rebuilding his life, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. He talks about learning to sell, embracing discomfort, becoming alcohol-free, and why personal responsibility has been the biggest catalyst for change. Along the way, we also dive into football, South Shields, Greggs orders, public speaking, social media, and why humour has always been one of his greatest strengths. It’s raw, hilarious, emotional and packed with practical wisdom. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, struggling with your mental health, or simply looking for a reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild your life, this is a conversation you won’t forget.
