17. Paul Cheetham-Karcz - "I work seven days a week… because I love it."

In this episode of Greater Manchester’s Greatest Minds, we sit down with Paul Cheetham-Karcz, founder of Sedulo, to talk about his journey from a working-class upbringing in Stockport to building a £20M+a-year financial consultancy.

Paul shares how growing up in a council estate, rejecting a “job for life” mentality, and taking huge financial risks shaped his success. He opens up about his struggles with anxiety, why he believes in writing your own eulogy, and how he scaled Sedulo to work with top businesses and sports teams.

We dive into:
The biggest risks he’s taken—including signing a 10-year lease mid-COVID
How he went from knowing nothing about finance to running a £20M+ firm
Why most successful people are the most anxious people he knows
 His mission to break the poverty cycle through his foundation

This episode is packed with honest insights on business, mindset, and resilience.
