This week on Beyond the Label we’re joined by Paul Hughes – former UK military special operator, forensic consultant, and TV personality who’s turned challenges like ADHD, dyslexia, and a speech impediment into his greatest strengths.
Paul mastered Russian, Arabic, and Pashto, served across the Middle East, North Africa, and Afghanistan, and even worked with the United Nations in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s era. You may also recognise him from Channel 4’s Hunted, where he featured as the “criminal mastermind.”
Now a motivational speaker and forensic expert, Paul inspires others with a simple but powerful message for the next generation:
“What would you do if you couldn’t fail? What could you achieve?”
In this week’s episode of ADHD Beyond the Label, Paul joins Dr Phil Anderton and John Reynolds for an unmissable conversation about resilience, identity, and unlocking human potential.
