Ep 60: Paul Banks - From Mental Health Struggles to Superpowers: Depression, ADHD, Creativity & Purpose
In the hotseat today is Paul Banks - a creative force in video marketing with Javelin Content Management and the host of MarketPulse, a podcast exploring the ever-evolving world of sales and marketing. But Paul’s story goes far beyond video content strategy. He opens up about his personal journey with ADHD - the struggles, the breakthroughs, and how it’s become a superpower that drives his creativity, energy, and empathy. From volunteering as a Police Officer to working in retail, Paul’s career path has been anything but linear. He shares how each chapter shaped the purpose he lives by today: to help people and make a meaningful impact. Paul also talks candidly about his experiences with depression, how his North East roots in Sunderland and love for football keep him grounded, and why everything he does is ultimately for his family. With his wife as his biggest support, Paul’s story is one of resilience, purpose, and turning adversity into action. This one’s about identity, community, and finding power in the things that once held us back.
