Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Paul Mort is a 2x Mastercoach of the Year, mentor and author who’s impacted thousands of people all over the world. Based in South Shields, but with clients nationally and internationally on his life-changing programmes, he is known for his no nonsense and hands on approach. But his life wasn’t always this way. Less than 10 years ago Paul was suicidal, literally at a cliff edge. Despite having created a successful fitness business, his head and heart were not in the right place. He was battling a substance use disorder and pushed away those around him, even his wife and children. The video he posted about his near suicide attempt has been viewed over 5 million times and was the catalyst in reaching the many men who felt completely overwhelmed and changed their lives.  Paul recently released his new book Upgrade – the no bullsh*t guide to levelling up your life, a book that breaks down big targets and big dreams into actions and mindsets that demolish excuses , negativity and procrastination.  Paul hopes to support you finding your purpose, power up your passion, break through barriers and do the things you say you are going to do.  Upgrade your life with Paul in your corner.   Get your copy of Upgrade here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/upgrade-the-no-bullsht-guide-to-levelling-up-your-life-paul-mort?variant=54854711673211 In this episode you will hear: 00:00:00 Intro00:04:00 Paul’s story to rock bottom00:08:00 Ready to take his own life in December 201400:12:30 Needed to look in the mirror 00:14:30 Paul Mort is not for everybody  - but he could save your life 00:17:00 Paul’s new book – Upgrade00:20:52 THAT viral video 00:33:00 Rebuilding Paul to be a leader of men00:40:58 Depression doesn’t give a sh*t how much you earn00:46:11 Big d*ck energy00:54:44 Who Paul serves in business 00:56:08 Paul’s heartprint Those with ears, let them hear.  Always love Ryan  Connect with Paul Website: https://www.paulmort.uk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulmort1/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChxP7co7IQV3dKeIfFsjUMw Connect with Always Better than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/ Men’s Group: https://abty.co.uk/akira   Join our mail list here for exclusive content here:https://abty.co.uk/contact Sign up for our coaching here: https://abty.co.uk/coaching Thank you to our supporters Exhale Healthy Coffee.  Exhale is the first coffee to be sourced, roasted and lab tested specifically to maximise its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potency. An independent lab test showed one cup of Exhale coffee has the same antioxidant power as 1.8kg of blueberries or 55 oranges! Get £10 off your first bag when you visit https://exhalecoffee.com/abty Please email your questions and comments to podcast@abty.co.uk  #PaulMort #Upgrade #LevelUp
