PT2: From BBC To Broke And Back Again | Paul Stainton

from Inspired Men Talk: Breaking the Stigma of Men's Mental Health · host Gary Johannes | Peter Ely

Paul Stainton has done it all - club DJ, TV sports correspondent, BBC breakfast show host, business owner. But in part two, we get the bit most people never see: losing almost everything in the 2008 crash, and finding the nerve to start again.He talks honestly about hitting rock bottom, walking away from the BBC on principle, losing his company overnight to COVID and how it all led him to Peterborough Cathedral, where he's now fighting to keep a thousand-year-old building alive and bring a city he loves back to life.One line stuck with us: don't be afraid of people saying no. Because what if they say yes?A funny, honest conversation about failure, resilience and backing yourself when the world gives you every reason not to.🎧 New episodes of Inspired Men Talk drop regularly - subscribe so you don't miss one. 💬 Want to talk to Paul?
