How do you rebuild your life, your business, and your identity… when you’ve been taught to handle everything alone?

In this episode, I sit down with Calum Richardson — ex-navy, business owner, and now part of Elite X — to unpack how he went from burnt out and exploding… to leading himself, his business, and trekking to Everest Base Camp.

We break down exactly how the coaching inside Alliance helped Calum:
✅ Rebuild confidence and clarity after burnout
✅ Grow his business without obsessing over it
✅ Restructure his consultancy into a purpose-led machine
✅ Take back control of his time, energy, and mission

This is what happens when a driven man gets honest, finds accountability, and stops pretending he’s fine.

If you’re a high-performing man who feels like life is running you — this episode is a wake-up call.

What we cover:
🧠 Why ex-navy conditioning nearly took Calum out
🔥 The mental toll of leading when you’re empty
📈 Growing a business by focusing on YOU
🎯 Why clarity and confidence beat more “grind”
🏔 What really happened on Everest Base Camp
