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.

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.

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.

This episode is a powerful and honest conversation about resilience, identity, starting again, and choosing purpose over pressure.
