He offers honest reflections on the cultural differences between the UK and US business worlds, and how those differences shaped his leadership style and approach to sales.</p><br><p>Paul also looks back on the key moments and influences early in his career that helped prepare him for these roles, sharing lessons that will resonate with anyone aiming to step into bigger leadership positions.</p><br><p>A thoughtful and insightful conversation about ambition, adaptability, and building a career on a global stage.</p><br><p>🔗 Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review!</p><p>Follow us on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

From Burnout to Breakthrough with Mike Mudie
<p>In this episode of Hess World The Podcast, I sit down with Mike Mudie, whose journey has taken him from professional golf, to door-to-door selling, to leading major IT transformations, and eventually to confronting a level of burnout that completely changed his life.</p><br><p>We talk about what it really takes to build a career from scratch, the graft and consistency behind his success, and the relationship-led approach that helped him win some of the biggest Microsoft-driven deals in the UK. Mike also opens up about the personal challenges that were happening behind the scenes including family illness, multiple losses, and the emotional weight of trying to keep going while life was pulling him in every direction.</p><br><p>He shares the moment everything stopped and how months of burnout and nervous system collapse forced him to rethink who he was and what he wanted from life. That recovery journey became the foundation of Authentic Brew, a functional wellness brand inspired by natural ingredients, holistic healing, and a completely different definition of success.</p><br><p>This episode is a powerful and honest conversation about resilience, identity, starting again, and choosing purpose over pressure.</p><br><p><img src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/16.0/1f517/72.png"> Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review</p><p>Follow us on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
