Back to Episodes#127 Chris Burton | HMRC Came For Me… This Is What Happened
Description
In this episode of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Podcast, Tony Murrell sits down with Chris Burton, a British entrepreneur and debut author of Target: Be Careful What You Wish For.
Chris built an international business career after growing up on a Yorkshire council estate, but his life changed dramatically when he was arrested by HMRC and became caught up in a £42 million fraud and money laundering investigation.
Chris explains what it was like facing the possibility of 14 years in prison and the impact that experience had on his life and mental health.
We also talk about Chris’s workaholic personality, the pressures that came with building a successful business and how constantly working can affect you personally.
Chris discusses writing Target: Be Careful What You Wish For and why he decided to document what happened to him, including the betrayal, legal battles, financial difficulties and uncertainty that followed.
It’s an honest conversation about ambition, business, pressure, mental health, fear and resilience, and what happens when a life you’ve spent years building suddenly feels like it’s falling apart.
