Paul Mort on Mental Resilience, Parenting & Progress (Part 2)


🎙️ In Part 2 of our explosive chat with Paul Mort, we go even deeper into the mindset of taking control, staying grounded, and owning your journey.


Paul is a life coach, speaker, author, and two-time UK Mastercoach of the Year, known for his brutally honest, no-excuses approach to personal development. In this episode, he opens up about the lessons he’s learned through parenting, pressure, cold water therapy, and how to reframe failure so it fuels your growth instead of crushing your confidence.


💭 Whether you’re a runner, a business owner, a parent, or just trying to level up your mindset, this conversation will challenge how you think, act, and respond when things get tough.


🔥 What We Talk About in This Episode:


✅ Why belief without evidence is just wishful thinking

✅ The reality of trekking to Everest Base Camp (spoiler: it wasn’t what he expected!)

✅ How coaching his son through his first boxing match taught him about fear, nerves, and trust

✅ How screen addiction affects us and how to take control of your digital habits

✅ The meaning of “Unfuckwithable” – and why nothing external should shake your inner calm

✅ Cold water therapy, morning routines, and doing what works for YOU – not Instagram

✅ Why we argue online and what passion vs. insecurity really looks like

✅ Reframing failure, embracing boredom, and staying consistent in business and life

The RUNcensored Podcast with Gary House and Ben Mounsey

Produced by Chris Davies, Eastwood Media www.eastwood-media.co.uk


Welcome to RUNcensored — the no-nonsense running podcast where chaos reigns, the laughs are real, and nothing is off-limits. Hosted by trail runner and coach Gary House and fell running legend Ben Mounsey, this weekly show is packed with unfiltered stories, bold opinions, and brutally honest banter.


Whether it’s a world record at the London Marathon or a meltdown halfway up a mountain, Gary and Ben tackle the highs and lows of running with humour, heart, and zero ego. If you’re into trail running, ultrarunning, fell races, or just enjoy hearing two mates take the mick out of running culture — this is your new favourite podcast.


What to expect:

• Trail tales & race fails – from DNFs to daft ideas that somehow worked

• Epic guests – including elite athletes, adventurers, and everyday legends

• Hot takes & debates – hydration vests at 5Ks? Robot marathons? We’ve got thoughts

• Community questions – funny, weird, relatable Q&As from listeners

• Gear & training chat – occasionally useful, often ridiculous

• Unfiltered conversations – running, life, mental health, and whatever else comes up


🎧 New episodes every Tuesday.

🐾 Suitable for trail warriors, road runners, and anyone who’s ever cried into their race vest.
