Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, host Paul D. Lowe - International Celebrant – talks to Peter Shankman about how to use the opposite of being still, creating a space and quietening the mind, to build better businesses. KEY TAKEAWAYS I think there’s a place for zen and tranquillity but, for many people, that’s not the first place they would choose to go. I’m at my calmest when I’m at my most productive. The concept of how my brain works is the premise of “deep work”. When I’m put into a situation that allows me to focus on one specific thing, and only that one thing, I’m at my best by a factor of 100. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late-30s, growing up in public schools in New York, I’d be told to sit down because I was disrupting the class. There was no diagnosis at that point, I’d always be told by my parents to stop procrastinating and leaving everything until the last minute. What I realise know is that leaving everything until the last minute gives me the dopamine hit that I need to get it done. The problem with labels is that they tend to mis-label, they box people into one category, and people rarely fit into one category. Simply saying you’ve been “diagnosed” – people get diagnosed with cancer. Having a neurodiverse brain means you’re faster, you can do things that other people can’t, as long as you know how to use your brain. I don’t consider that a diagnosis – you’re not diagnosed with winning the lottery! Everything I’ve done, whether it’s been a success or a failure, has been a way to learn from it. I want to work with people who learn and understand that it’s perfectly OK to screw up – it’s supposed to happen. The only downside is not learning from your screw ups, as long as you’re learning you’re fine. BEST MOMENTS ‘Studies say that when you’re interrupted, it takes upwards of 22 minutes to get back onto that flow state of work. So, if you get interrupted once an hour, you’re only productive for 20 minutes out of the hour'. ‘Some people who procrastinate do it because it benefits them; it makes their work stronger and more productive'. ‘I’m focused on helping kids understand that just because they have a different brain doesn’t mean they’re broken, it means they’re gifted. If they understand that at an early age it’ll save them a lot of trouble'. ‘You have to learn how to stop giving a fuck about what other people say'. ABOUT THE GUEST Peter Shankman is a top keynote speaker in marketing, social media, customer service, and neurodiversity in the workplace. The New York Times has called Peter “a rock star who knows everything about social media, and then some.” He is a 6x bestselling author, entrepreneur and corporate in-person and virtual keynote speaker, focusing on neurodiversity in the workplace and customer experience.

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, host Paul D. Lowe - International Celebrant – talks to Aimee Mosco about the conflicting feelings that arise when thinking about people celebrating themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS My inner child in me shrinks when I hear the words “celebrating who I am”. Why? From a personal perspective I think of birthday parties or anniversaries, the socially acceptable celebration of oneself. I never liked my birthday when I was a kid and I think it’s because my mother almost died when I was born. There’s an opportunity to retrain these thoughts when you become aware of them so I’m seizing that today. A celebration is one thing, but who I am really sends me on a journey. I’ve noticed that when people are resistant to celebrating or talking about who they are, or looking deeply at what a label means, there’s a little piece that attached to self-worth (for good or bad) depending upon your experiences in life. Sometimes, when we say “this is who I am”, it’s sometimes contingent to the labels we put upon ourselves: I’m a man/woman/author/therapist. When we say “who am I” we really have to ask what that means: What makes me a man/woman/author/therapist? It’s a different perspective that invites you to look deeper and maybe shift the labels you use when you say “this is who I am.” There’s a place of vulnerability as we pass through on the road to “I am”, you have to look in the mirror and see every story that you’ve told yourself or has been told to you before you can reach a place of oneness with everything, everyone and the beyond BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s important to pay attention when you hear words like “a celebration of who I am”, it’s important to explore them and what it means to be a man/woman and what are the preconceived notions we have when we hear those words, and why'. ‘If we elevate beyond the ego every one of us is the same, we’re a divine being of light, there are no more questions to ask at that point, it’s a statement of fact'. ‘The goal is to learn when it’s most appropriate to be and when it’s most appropriate to do'. ‘Rather than celebrate the fact that you got a promotion/wrote another book, celebrate the fact you’re a divine being of light. That’s a training tool to bring you into a space of not being ruled by fear'. ABOUT THE GUEST Aimee Mosco is an author, intuitive channel and co-founder of Intentional Healing Systems, LLC. Over the course of 10 years, she developed a healing system called SACRED after mapping the components of the human energy field, based on channelled communications. She conducts practitioner certification for SACRED and teaches classes based on the system, as well as her books, ‘Gratitude + Forgiveness x (Love) = Happiness’ and ‘Daily Agreements, Guidelines & Intentions’. Aimee is a co-host of the global community group ‘Evolve Through Love’, and she works as an intuitive who specialises in facilitating healing of the body, heart, mind, and spirit.

On this episode of the SoulScape Celebrations podcast, host Paul D. Lowe - International Celebrant - talks to Rabbi Daniel Cohen about his books, specifically ‘What Will They Say About You When You’re Gone: Creatinve a Life of Legacy’ as well as his career as a Rabbi. KEY TAKEAWAYS As you walk out of a funeral you have a moment where you say to yourself “I hope they speak about me the same way they spoke about that individual.” You leave thinking about doing what’s more important in life and how you want to be remembered. Generally, you’re motivated for about 15 minutes until you go back to life as usual. Life isn’t meant to be a highlight film. Every day god puts us on the Earth we have something unique to accomplish. It really hit home for me on a personal level when my mother passed away sudden from a brain aneurism when she was 44. I learned that life can change in an instant. When I got to 44 I began to think a lot more deeply about if I was doing the most that I can with the life that god has given me to try to make a difference in the world around me. You don’t have to believe in god, but I believe there’s something inside all of us, whether it’s a soul or some yearning to know that we matter, we not just here to eat, drink, be merry and die, that I need to love, be loved, be kind, unlock some beauty and sanctity in the world around me. All to often I think we fill our souls with junk food (social media, counterfeit pleasures) accomplishing a lot but not doing much. These things are still important, but what can you do today that’s worthy of future memory? It’s important to know the distinction between exiting vs living. When somebody says: “What’s my goal in life?” That goal shouldn’t be being healthy, that’s a means to accomplishing something, but to be healthy without using the gift of health is missing a unique opportunity. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve always lived with a sense that life matters, to be grateful for every day, not to wait for a crisis: There’s no atheists in a fox hole.’‘Life isn’t made up of days, it’s made up of moments'. ‘Anybody who enters my orbit should end up feeling better about themselves than when they entered that orbit'. ‘One of the most important things to be able to do in life is to make distinctions. To live a life of legacy means to be able to distinguish between really happiness vs pleasure'. ABOUT THE GUEST In a world in flux, Rabbi Cohen’s engaging and captivating style draws on timeless stories and strategies enabling you to maximize every moment while leading a life of impact and legacy.His personal experience as a Rabbi, sharing hundreds of life-affirming moments from birth to death, combined with his humor and humanity, provide him with a compelling narrative and navigational guide for your life. https://www.rabbidanielcohen.com ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

On this episode of the SoulScape Celebrations podcast, host Paul – D. Lowe, International Celebrant –talks to Padma Prakasha about his book, ‘The Christ Blueprint’, an inspirational map about the 13 qualities of Christ Consciousness. KEY TAKEAWAYS In 2007-8 I was travelling in the South of France with my then girlfriend and we visited the Mary Magdelene site church there. At dinner that night, suddenly and without warning, a radiant, sensual, holy, feminine energy appeared to me which stopped me in my tracks. This was my introduction to Mary Magdelene. The next day I felt the same feeling but with a sense of urgency and she began to share with me about the Apostles, the power of the womb, and the divine feminine. The narrative we’re normally given is that it’s just about Christ. But he couldn’t have done what he did here on Earth without Mary Magdelene, his loving wife and who was a very wise and powerful leader in her own right, and the Apostles as well. It was a co-creative, collective collaboration that anchored, ignited and introduced this Christ Consciousness on Earth again. A lot of people get it confused. They believe a woman’s in her power when she’s being more masculine. Actually the feminine Christed masters (more than Apostles) showed us that love is being in the feminine power, being in that radiant, sensual, sacred self, is also a feminine power, and to be able to embrace, not judge, everything and bring it into your own heart. Christ’s teachings have been mistranslated. If you look at his ‘I am’ mantras he says “I am the bread of life”, “I am the way, the truth and the light”. If you don’t understand that you’ll think that he’s saying that it’s only through him that you can access or be that, so you have to worship him. But, if you look a little bit deeper into the Aramaic, the tradition he came from and where he was taught, you can see that “I am” is based in a much more ancient wisdom tradition that he studied and was initiated into. The presence that is everywhere is know in all traditions as “I am”, it’s within everybody’s heart. BEST MOMENTS ‘Mary Magdelene was very much about divine/sacred union with the masculine as well as the divine'. ‘There were 4 key female Apostles: Mary Magdelene, Martha, Mother Mary, and Mary Salome and they all had different capacities'. ‘Each of the Apostles had a higher self, you could call them ‘masters’, and these worked through the human incarnations of the Apostles in order to get the divine purpose accomplished'. ’13 follows a natural rhythms: There are 13 Moons in the calendar, not 12. 13 is the magic number that allows you to tap into the natural rhythmic intelligence of life which has been known through every sacred tradition throughout history'. ABOUT THE GUEST Padma Prakasha is a wisdom author, vibrational media creator, visionary pioneer and public speaker bringing together ancient wisdom and modern science. Padma’s books, music and multimedia are drawn from the traditions he has been initiated into. His books include: The Power of Shakti, Womb Wisdom, Sacred Relationships (Inner Traditions), The Christ Blueprint, The Nine Eyes of Light: Ascension Keys from Egypt (NAB/Random House), Dimensions of Love, Shiva's Hologram: The Maheshwara Sutra and The Science of Sound (O Books). Since 1997 he has presented, lectured and taught in 20 countries worldwide. Website ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, our host - Paul D. Lowe, International Celebrant – talks again to Jose Berlanga about how he manages companies, and entrepreneurs that are struggling. KEY TAKEAWAYS For the majority of my career I’ve been working with small companies and startups, and I pride myself in being able to manage them without any resources, by being creative and more aware that the spending of every cent needs to be well planned. I had the blessing of having parent who were very responsible, they grew up in a different era with very difficult circumstances, where things needed to be respected at a high level. Having things was an honour and a privilege, not a right. That’s part of the mentality of being a business owner. When we start making a little bit of money, one of the mistakes we make is that we start spending it to show the people around us how well we’re doing on unnecessary expenditure, luxuries. You should delay these until you have enough wealth, it’s fundamentally important to the health of your business, but it’s very difficult for people to do. Although I have many weaknesses in the business world, thank god, ego has not been one of them. I have never done anything for what people might think about me or how I do things. Some people utilize that to build upon, leaders need that recognition as successful, I don’t, I feed more on the creative aspects of being successful. When you’re starting a family/business/career, you learn more from obstacles and from the lack of things because you figure out a way around it. When you have abundance it’s easier to make things happen so you don’t develop your brain and creativity. BEST MOMENTS ‘Frugality and taking care of whatever resources you have is crucial in the process of building a company'. ‘Some people start making money when they no longer care that much about it Business and success in life is not just about money, life is more than that'. ‘The personality of abundance comes in handy when you’re trying to build something big, you have to have that clarity and ability to see beyond what’s right in front of you'. ‘There’s no manual or specific formula for someone to achieve their goals'. ABOUT THE GUEST Jose Berlanga has been the founder and co-founder of numerous successful companies in various fields such as the oil and gas, import/export, service and restaurant businesses, manufacturing, distribution and most known for his involvement in the real estate and residential construction industry. https://joseberlanga.com ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, our host - Paul D. Lowe, International Celebrant – talks to Jose Berlanga about his construction business and the make-up of a successful entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS I’ve devoted nearly three decades of my time to building in different sectors, but mostly in residential construction. This industry is so interesting and fun, but most people focus on the fun part and there’s very little material out there about the actual process that occurs behind the scenes of this business, like how to start and build a company in the construction industry. That's why I started writing my book, ‘The Business of Building’. I don’t think of myself as a builder, I’m more of an entrepreneur, someone who enjoys the business part of things, thew deal making, putting things together and building them, as opposed to other technical, more creative, and perhaps more artistic participants in this industry. Not all entrepreneurs are the same: Mission, objectives, the reasoning behind entering the career of entrepreneurship. But there are others that are very similar and necessary to succeed in the world of entrepreneurship: Discipline, consistency, repetition, persistence, having that itch or desire to always move forward, curiosity, being able to handle risk, tolerating a lot of pressure, and being able to handle uncertainty. When I’ve seen better results in my career and on my journey in the different experiences and businesses that I’ve started and built, is when I try to go and think beyond the financial aspects of the business. When I find the why and the mission, the logic and understanding of what I’m doing what I’m doing. BEST MOMENTS ‘This is not an easy industry, it’s so competitive, there are so many things that can go wrong at any given point'. 'I have never focused on the technical side of the business, I’ve always been on the business side, I like to oversee things'. ‘I believe that some entrepreneurs fear the regret of not attempting more than the risk of failing'. ‘The most important thing in business and entrepreneurship is your focus on making a difference and a contribution'. ABOUT THE GUEST Jose Miguel Berlanga, an entrepreneur from Mexico City with over 35 years of experience, has made a significant mark in Houston's real estate industry, notably through co-founding Tricon Homes. His diverse background, including degrees in Business Administration, Economics, and Philosophy, has fueled his success in various sectors, making him a source of inspiration and mentorship in the business community. He is the author of The Business of Home Building and is working on his second book. ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

On this episode of the SoulScape Celebrations podcast, host Paul – D. Lowe, International Celebrant –talks to Tom Fuller about their and our father’s lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was a very lucky child and a lucky man. I feel blessed when I listen to others that didn’t have the upbringing that I did. Not that I’d say it was the best ever, but I’m certainly grateful for my Dad, Anthony (Tony), bringing me up the way he did. I try to do the best I can from what Dad taught me, the Ps and Qs, it doesn’t cost anything to say thank you, be respectful to people. You can also look at some of the things you didn’t agree with and decide not to go down that road. Not everything that comes out of their mouth is 100% correct. When Dad passed, I wanted to give him a really good send off with a celebration of his life, passions and personality. As a customer painter I had a unique opportunity to design and paint his coffin. It was one of the most emotional days of my life, but one of the most rewarding as well. BEST MOMENTS ‘Dad’s love was just as powerful as Mum’s.’ ‘Being a teenager you’re trying to find your feet, but 99% of the time when I look back at it I realise he was right. But that means that 10% of the time I was right.’ ‘You can’t choose your family, I know some people who get on with other people’s families more than their own. There’s no rules.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Tom Fuller’s career started way back in the late 80's when fluorescent colours ruled and mullets were in fashion. Fast forwards a few decades and in 2007, Tom & Steve officially launched Image Design Custom and he hasn't looked back since. ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, host Paul D. Lowe - International Celebrant – talks to Susan Paul about her journey into celebrancy and what celebrancy means to her. KEY TAKEAWAYS I felt like my life needed something more, I needed a better direction and a new journey to be on and I wanted to do more for people whether that was for babies being born, people getting married or in death. I want to be able to celebrate that person and tell a story about their life. As a celebrant you need to have the passion and the want to get to know a person. It’s deeper because you want to know what’s going on and about the person. There’s more emotion to it that it just being your 9-5 job. It’s a privilege for you to be invited in and to be given that trust. You can’t plan the perfect celebration to use in any instance, it’s their celebration. It’s what can I do for them? The best privilege is at the end for them to say their day was amazing, then you know you’ve done a good job because they’re happy. BEST MOMENTS ‘Everybody has a story, and everybody deserves to celebrate whatever the milestone is and whatever is going on in their lives'. ‘You have to take everybody in every situation as an individual and tailor it to what they are, what you feel, and what you get from the stories that they tell'. ‘People now are moving away from traditional weddings to choose what they would like, it’s personal now and it’s exciting. You can be who you want to be'. ABOUT THE GUEST Susan Paul is an Independent professional wedding and funeral Celebrant whose training was completed at the highly respected and recognized Academy of Professional Celebrants. She says: "Life is a journey filled with moments of joy, connection, reflection and farewell. As a celebrant, I consider it a privilege and an honour to guide individuals and families through these significant chapters in life, crafting ceremonies or eulogies that honour personal stories/journeys, making them unique with authenticity and care. My personal journey into celebrancy stems from some life experiences and losses I have had and just not having that ‘right’ person to share these times with. I have a deep passion for connecting with people and celebrating diversity of human experiences, whether this may be uniting two hearts in marriage or commemorating a loved one’s life with dignity, my focus is on creating meaningful heartfelt ceremonies that reflect the stories and essence of those involved." http://www.susanpaulcelebrant.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Despite a painful, traumatic childhood, Paul D.

The SoulScape Celebrations podcast – hosted by Paul D. Lowe, International Celebrant – is a heartfelt space where inspiring stories unfold, capturing the essence of life, love, and legacy. Drawing from his own journey from pain to peace, Paul shares the stories of remarkable individuals, encouraging listeners to embrace their own paths and create marvellous memories, and lasting legacies. More than just a podcast, SoulScape Celebrations offers inspiration and encouragement, inviting listeners to embrace their own journeys, celebrate personal milestones, and contribute to a life-enhancing legacy. Join us in crafting one story, one milestone, one celebration at a time. Each episode is an invitation to reflect, and to cherish moments that matter. Together, let’s celebrate the beauty of lives well-lived. On this inaugural episode of SoulScape Paul talks to Becky Young about what celebrancy means to her. KEY TAKEAWAYS Celebrancy is as simple as celebration. A celebration of somebody’s life that has passed on, somebody’s life that is just beginning, or a couple’s life that is just beginning in marriage. A celebrant is there to simply celebrate these occasions. Nowadays there’s so much social pressure; we always have to be doing the best we can, working hard, making sure we’ve got pensions and savings for a rainy day. It’s almost like a competition and I’ve been guilty of it myself. We’re so busy trying to achieve these social norms that we forget about the little things. I don’t want to be spending my life for my days off or for my holidays, I want to enjoy every day. I know that’s not always going to be possible, things happen and it’s not always going to be sunsets, rainbows and unicorns, but try to make the best of every day. That’s why I’m going into a life of celebrancy, to celebrate my life and other people’s lives. Life, death, love, these are all things we’re automatically programmed to do, they’re things we should be celebrating but our minds are so bogged down with day-to-day tasks (work, money, bills) that the stress of that takes over. We start thinking with the mind more than the heart and we miss out on so much by doing that. Life is a journey and it’s to be enjoyed as much as we possibly can. BEST MOMENTS ‘Celebrants should do it with passion, beautiful words, poetry. It’s definitely a skill, an art'. ‘Some people have the mindset of living in the moment, but it’s a difficult skill to get back even though it’s a skill we all have. I’ve learned this through having a life coach'. ‘All these pressures (financial, work) are sucking the happiness and joy out of celebrations for the majority of us'. ‘We forget that life is a gift and it’s short'. ABOUT THE GUEST Becky Young is a celebrant with her own company, Forever Young Ceremonies. She has been a prison officer and Dundee’s first female train driver, and is a trained Insite to Wellbeing Facilitator, as well as having a profound passion for writing and poetry. She says: “My love for words allows me to weave stories that resonate on a personal level, capturing the essence of human experiences.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Keith Amoss about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Are you comfortable in not knowing? There's something about us as humans where we're not that comfortable with it, we like to have things mapped out, simple things like what we're eating tonight, where we're going on holiday, what time work starts in the morning, who you're speaking to on Zoom that day. As you get older, personally speaking, you get a little bit more worried about it in some areas and less in others. Ignorance over the years has come to mean someone who is despised. But it's also a choice, a deliberate act. You can choose to get involved in what's going on in the US election, for example, form an opinion, change your mind, look again, or if you think it's too demanding for your soul you can choose to think whatever happens over there happens and I have no influence. What is impossible to know when you're 18 is how you body is going to be and how you are going to be physically. When you're older we can all look back and think I wish I'd taken a bit more care or done some things differently.    BEST MOMENTS ‘A deliberate choice not to want to know more about a thing, I think that's reasonable.'‘Do we get to a stage in our autumn years of deliberately deny ourselves, or not thinking about important things about our future health, how we'll live and be looked after. Do we think it won't happen to us?'‘Living in the moment is so powerful. It's not an easy concept to get at first but once you get it you get it.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Sergei Turkov about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's a hidden history in every object that tells its true story. For example, why is the pencil you're holding yellow? Most people don't know why, but in the 19th century graphite came from China and American pencil makers painted them yellow to symbolise this. We should be curious and learn why things are the way they are. Research shows that giving to others activates the parts of the brain that makes you happy and more productive. It is what helps us to move forwards. A certain level of income doesn't give you a significant boost of happiness, the biggest thing that helps us to move forward is relationship, then gratitude, flow, and helping others. We have to find and move with the right people who fill the gaps that we lack otherwise it's challenging and complicated to move forward and evaluate which gaps we have in our flow. BEST MOMENTS ‘The qwerty keyboard is laid out like it is to avoid jamming in typewriters and to stop the operators from typing too quickly.' ‘Helping others is one of the keys to making you happy.' ‘Be kind to other people, it brings you much more back. Try to think more deeply about what makes you happy and try top concentrate on those things because your life will be much easier and brighter.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to T M Hoy about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Looking back on my life it's been a history of mostly bad mistakes. The thing I'd like to talk about is that I wish I'd paid attention to just how right my mother was when she would criticise and guide me away from the easy way. Growing up, it was a fault of mine, I looked for the way out, the get-rich scheme, the way to jump the queue and get ahead without all the hard work. My mother constantly repeated – and she was right – that all of that was pissing away effort, time and money and that instead, the easy way is not the easy way and that it doesn't work by and large, and that if you put the effort into doing something positive and work on it, in the end, it will be much quicker. Ultimately that paid off and I have changed my life quite a bit realising my mother's wisdom. Choose something important to you, that you really like, want and need to do and pour your effort into that and master the toolsets that you need to acquire to achieve that. That's where you need to focus your energy and your time, not on the easy way or route that people are promising results instantly, that's bullshit. We're fed the idea that wealth is the key to success and achievement. From one perspective, it can be. There are some people who highly value the opinion of others; they're stuck in that materialistic paradigm. I learned that the world's opinion matters very little in your personal life. The materialistic game that so many of us are taught to play is a rigged game that does not lead to happiness.   BEST MOMENTS If you take the easy way what you're doing is pouring your energy down a rat hole, it's not gonna work because it's sold by someone who's benefitting in some way it's not designed to help you.'‘Even though it's not attractive, pretty, glittery or shiny that so many of us reach for, that stoic, rough, granite-like worldview is based solidly on reality and hard experience. It's real wisdom.'‘Patience and persistence always win, that's the key to success.'‘Material things and the opinion of the world about what happiness and success look like are lies.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK) Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA) Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group ABOUT THE GUEST T M Hoy is a happiness expert, but he came by it at great cost and through unthinkable hardship. When Marc says: “What is happiness? Where does it come from, and how do you get it?” you should know it's a question he's had the time to consider... a lot of time to consider. In 1995 Marc returned from an overnight business trip to his home in Thailand to find a panicked house guest and a dead person on the floor between them. His choices: go immediately to the police and turn his friend in for the murder he'd committed or help his friend cover up the murder and pray it was never discovered. Marc made the wrong decision and spent 5 years in Thailand's most notorious prison with death and decay surrounding him, his well-being in constant peril, and happiness an elusive emotion of the past – one he'd surely never experienced again. But he did. From the depths of despair, bit by bit, he created his happiness – lasting happiness – and it saw him through the most difficult, painful period of his entire life. And now he's ready to share the things he learned. LASTING HAPPINESS is a field guide for the rest of us as we go through life trying to find our happiness.   ABOUT THE HOST Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy & fulfilling life.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul Kelly about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know.   KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the things I didn't realise is how difficult life can be if you don't keep things simple. When you're young and free and you explore and try new things you can encounter difficulties you were unaware of because you don't understand the great, wide world. Not everyone's as nice as you are and the world can be a very cruel place if you don't have that greater awareness. Having a greater awareness of you and where you're at in any situation is what people need to learn. Who you're with isn't important a lot of the time, as long as you feel good and safe about yourself. People come and go, you need to focus on yourself and how you feel. When the internet first started everyone thought it was great, we could research things. But as it's developed, with social media, the influence of money has grown and dominated every part of our society. School kids think they can be professional footballers and they'll never have to work again or be influencers making millions on social media.   BEST MOMENTS ‘From school, where things are very certain, you go out and look for variety in life and sometimes you don't know the dangers that are hidden.' ‘It's very easy, as a young person, to get attracted to a particular crowd of people because they all support the same football team. These might look like nice people but they might be sheep in wolves clothing.' ‘The power of using video conversations to heal people has recently struck a chord with me,  it's a very powerful tool because you go back and see how those conversations have evolved over time.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK) Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA) Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group   ABOUT THE GUEST Paul Kelly's young parents divorced before he started primary school, resulting in him and his mother going to live with his loving grandparents. From starting primary school, Paul was always a keen sportsman, excelling at swimming, football, chess and cricket, and after establishing himself as a regular in the Nottinghamshire (UK) cricket set-up, his grandmother decided to give him the opportunity to go to a private school to play his beloved sport, something he continued in Australia. On his return to England, Paul was attacked after a night out and hospitalised, suffering temporary blindness, a double fractured skull and memory loss. After ten days in a coma, he awoke and started to try and rebuild his life; however, he encountered severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, and heavy drinking binges. With the help of family & friends, step-by-step, Paul began the road to recovery and happiness – a 25-year roller-coaster journey – that has taught him vital lessons…particularly using stress to achieve success.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Sharon Griffiths about the things she didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn't know how many people would still be with me or would have left me in this world, and I didn't know how I'd feel about each one. I also didn't know what I'd be doing now, or that my husband would say this on a regular basis: You've got an amazing talent, Sharon – pointing out the obvious! The mind is full of stuff we don't know about, and suddenly up pops a thought. As a child, I rarely found adults to answer my questions, so I became very curious, and I'd have discussions with myself to get clarity on what I wanted to do and achieve. I didn't know that was normal and that other people did it. If you have a challenge, it's obvious that by stepping into that challenge/problem/issue, that's where the solution is. You cannot think yourself out of where you've acted yourself into. By stepping into the challenge, you've acted yourself there. The only way to get out of it is not the way that took you there, it's a different way of thinking. BEST MOMENTS ‘What may appear chaotic, confusing or something I may not know about, I either point out the obvious to myself or I ignore it because it's not relevant to me.' ‘If people talk to me about their problems, I used to get myself in trouble because I'd point out the obvious, and I learned to keep quiet because it wasn't for me to do that to people..' ‘I would often self-sabotage, I wasn't aware that I was doing it but it was obvious from the outside and I was often told I was my own worst enemy.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Aimee Mosco about the things she didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know.   KEY TAKEAWAYS I don't think we're meant to look back. This is contradictory to our experience as humans because every single thing that happens in our lives is for learning, so if you take that away the learning also goes with it. I take to heart having no regrets. Of course, there are things in life that you wish didn't happen, that were painful, but if you're honest with yourself and think about those things, you can identify the growth that came as a result. I've had some tangles with nature, I was nearly bitten by a rattlesnake, I was stung by a baby scorpion in my bathroom, and I was bitten 5 times by a black widow spider in a single attack in my bed, where we're most vulnerable. After a lot of physical problems this I started to school myself on energy medicine, I learned there was a really strong message in that connection with that spider. In my ego mind I think it would have been great if that didn't happen, but what would my life be like right now if I didn't go down the path of studying energy medicine? What would I be missing if I didn't have that experience? Spiders symbolize creation, transformation, balance, and harmony offering powerful healing qualities for mind body, and spirit. This happened just before a time when I had a great awakening, I think back to that spider energy medicine, and it was very appropriate for the time. It signaled a rebirth for me.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I feel like I'm on a daily quest to learn new things, it's always at the forefront of my consciousness. I'm always asking why, what, and how.'‘All animals have something to say to us, there can be a really strong message in a connection with them.'‘I didn't know where I was going at the time but, looking back in hindsight, that particular year was a big year in my life and it had me looking at my demons.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK) Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA) Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group   ABOUT THE GUEST Aimee Mosco is an author, intuitive channel and co-founder of Intentional Healing Systems, LLC.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Richard Gerver about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS We spend so much of our lives thinking that if we don't know something it's a weakness or a failure. I'd turn the entire thing around as a response and say: Things I didn't know were that the things that I didn't know, and I was confident about not knowing them, were my strength and my superpower. You learn nothing new by getting something right. You only ever learn something new from the point of a mistake or the realisation you don't know something or can't do something. That is the moment in your life where the magic happens and you're going to evolve, develop and become something better than you were before you encountered that moment of ignorance. I used to take criticism of my writings or talks personally. But a wise person said to me: “Those are the people you're impacting the most because you're pushing them outside of their comfort zone, so don't take offense by the people that respond badly, realise that you've started to catalyse change and development within them.” That was incredibly powerful, potent and important to me. In a time that's becoming increasingly polarised and a world in which we see our differences as chasms between us, if only we could come together and realise and respect those differences and find out how we could harness those differences to make something magical, the world would be a lot better place. BEST MOMENTS ‘It's being open to realising that you don't know something or can't do something and then having the confidence to step through the pathway of that ignorance.' ‘I grew up too often believing that if I didn't know something it was a sign of weakness rather than a moment of accelerated growth.' ‘Every single human being is exceptional no matter their personal traits, academic level, how they view the world or life.' ‘Real, deep collaboration can't come from a gathering of like-minded people in an echo chamber, it can only come when you have a group of people that view the world differently and try to find a way to converge on a commonality of understanding.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Lyn Smith about the things she didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn't know, until I'd done a lot of work on myself, that things happen for you and no to you, and that you are in control of the things that you receive in your life, and that you don't have to be the ‘victim' of life, you can be the creator of your life. A person who has a happy life is a person who's predominantly living from a place of love, abundance, trust and faith rather than the opposite, living from a place of lack, worry, fear and doubt. If you're living from that place you'll experience life very differently even if you experience the same things. People aren't even aware that they're sometimes living in a space of fear, doubt and worry because we've been subjected and conditioned to be in those negative experiences and emotions through the media, governments, our communities, peer pressure, bad parenting. When you become aware of that it's very empowering to work on changing it. Self-love is quite hard for most of us because of our conditioning. Thes easiest way to start that process is to think of yourself as a little boy or girl, remember what they looked like, and then see them when you look in the mirror because it's easier to love, comfort and give wise words of wisdom to them rather than your own reflection. Eventually you get to loving the reflection of you as you are today in that process.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Always do your best to focus on coming from a place of love, abundance, trust and faith.'‘Everything is a self-fulfilling prophesy, whether positive or negative, and we attract what we focus on.'‘It's important to be aware of your thoughts and focus on how you can change negative thoughts into  positive ones before you go down a rabbit hole.'

One of you might be right, one of you might be wrong, but it's all about what people think.  Our thoughts can be very powerful, and they can cause us to overthink and that's when people can become stressed. It's very difficult at times to park our thoughts and say: “Is that thought valid?” Being able to validate your thoughts is what it's all about and discount the thoughts that don't serve us. The power of detaching your emotions from a situation, good or bad, is a very difficult power to learn. But, if you can, you can see the positives in negatives or you don't get too carried away with the positive. The ability to remain neutral is a fantastic thing. You need to let go. If someone's done you wrong and you're carrying around that black cloud above your head and thinking negative things about them, you should actually just go about your own business. Forget that bad experience, just let it go. It doesn't serve you, it's like carrying poison around with you and sipping it every day, it's making you worse not better. BEST MOMENTS ‘There's so many little things that you don't really know, as you grow older you realise how little you do actually know.' ‘Being able to let go of those negative thoughts and move on to the next positive one is mastering the game of life.' ‘You've got to be able to forgive, not forget, but you have to be able to let go of that negative thought because it doesn't serve us.' ‘With age comes experience of good and bad and how you can deal with things better.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Daniel Gasser about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS One thing I wish I knew earlier is the wisdom of women, especially the woman I've been blessed to be with for a very long time. She has a wisdom that comes naturally. As a younger man, I – and other I know – thought that if it's not logical and well-thought, planned and organised that it can't be very wise or intelligent. Now this woman says things from her gut and I wonder how she comes up with them and she doesn't know either!  Women have an intrinsic way of seeing things that are so far from the thinking of men that it's almost impossible to believe. But I learned to listen to it and I know it makes sense. The advice she gives me are gold. If my partner tells me about a problem or a struggle she's having I now know that I don't have to fix it until she asks me to. What should I do? Nothing. I just sit there and listen and hug her if she wants to be hugged, and that's it. It sounds paradoxical, but it makes me more male and her more female. If I fix it, the whole story becomes male.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If your woman opens her mouth, just listen, because there is so much to learn.'‘Men build this society, now it's up to us to make and give space and take a step back for the women.'‘If we don't take this power more seriously in our society we're not going to go to the next level, to Humanity 3.0, without females.'

Because I saw in my own life what's possible if we dare ask for help I live it every day with joy, happiness and bliss. “My higher purpose is to show human beings that we are not slaves, not working robots but highly spiritual, divine and extremely powerful beings. Is to make people see our world as what it is; Paradise and life are a gift, a path we chose as an experience to make our higher consciousness understand what life is. Is to help people increase their brain activity to see beyond the illusion, and the lies and to become empathetic, telepathic and eventually telekinetic.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul begins a new, longer series talking to John Chappelear - a first time guest - about the things he didn't know, that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn't realise that an emotional connection was key to leadership, personal relationships, I kept everything on an intellectual level. There's a value to including emotion in everyday life, conversation and every single situation that you encounter. So many business owners tell me they need their people to be more engaged. What's the difference between a couple and a couple that's engaged? Emotion. The couple that's engaged has a tremendous amount of emotional connection between the two of them and you don't have to talk them into doing anything. If you can create that kind of engagement between yourself and your employees/staff/family, the connection will be so much deeper. I didn't realise or know the importance of practice to permanence, I thought I was already born to this ‘smarter, quicker, better than' mindset because everything came easy. I assumed I was really smart so people would want to care about me. No, they didn't! It was only when I started to care about them that they started caring about me. Acceptance helps defuse so many situations. I didn't say “I agree with you”, I said “I accept your position”. It's about the willingness to be empathetic rather than taking your anger and resentment from work and dump it on your family and vice versa. That all dissipates when you are willing to be interested in what's going on in other people's lives/heads/hearts. BEST MOMENTS ‘People want to go where they feel appreciated and cared about. It really is that frighteningly simple'. ‘Be willing to try something that you're uncomfortable with'. ‘Set an intention to be more engaged with the people around you'. ‘Get your path and then follow it'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Paul Kelly (PK), about how to use his experience and inspirational energy to inspire young people, this time focusing on the paradox of needing to focus on yourself in order to be party of a greater unified whole. KEY TAKEAWAYS I always strive to do something better each day than I did the previous day, whether that's helping self or somebody else. But, we always have to look internally before we can form partnerships with other people. Are we ready to for partnerships or relationships with other people? Have we got our own house in order? If you've got inner peace, it doesn't matter if you're having a good or bad day, the constant is that internally you're happy. That's what people really need more than the external things, but I don't think people realise it, people get caught up with having the fancy car, the big house, the swimming pool, the holidays, they think that's the most important thing but inner peace is what they're looking for, the rest is stuff that makes people feel better. Having a raison d'etre – a reason for being – is what drives people. When people are struggling they don't feel like they have a purpose. If I'm struggling I try to do something that I know is going to be beneficial, like eating better, getting more sleep, doing more exercise, the simple things. If we revert back to when we were happiest when we're struggling and think about what we were doing, we can see what serves us. Have you got a roof over your head? If you have, you're doing great. Does it matter how much you've got in the bank? Not really, as long as you're living within your means. Does it matter whether you've got a 24 plate car or an 06 plate car? A car is just something that gets you from A to B, it doesn't matter how much it costs, that's just status, whether it's a Bentley or a Mini it's still a car. BEST MOMENTS ‘In order to be part of something greater you need to concentrate on self first'. ‘Happiness is a choice, every day when we wake up most of us have a choice about what they do in the 24 hours of their day'. ‘You may not be able to afford the swanky gym that your friends go to, but you can walk round the local park, some of which have exercise equipment in them that are free. Adapt and form your own gym'. ‘Lots of people have great externals, but internally they're so unhappy because they're living above their means and paying things off which is causing them more stress'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul (PK) Kelly in the first episode in a mini-series about how to use his experience and inspirational energy to inspire young people. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lots of the things that young people encounter are the same. Part of the issue is there's a lot of disconnect, lots of young people are involved heavily in social media which isn't all bad, but it's also not great for everybody.  I don't see myself as just a Maths teacher, I see myself as someone who can show people opportunities and talk about my own experiences of life and hopefully offer sound advice that can enable people to explore different opportunities. Since Covid I've encountered more students whose emotional development has been hampered by the emotional disconnect f not being able to see friends. Talking to someone online is not the same as talking to someone face-to-face. People struggled with Covid and children struggled more than we could ever imagine and the aftermath is devastating. It's like a transition from fear to love: People are scared of the unknown, and once they realise there can be a better life they're almost scared to go there. You can, you just need someone there to help you through all the steps. BEST MOMENTS ‘Young people need a voice and to be listened to, but sometimes then need advice and someone to turn to'. ‘Covid caused a lot of damage and there's a lot that needs to be resolved still for our young people, and the only way we can do that is by listening to them, talking to them, and saying things will get better'. ‘It's really important to have someone you can call up and say I'm not feeling great a run problem by them'. ‘I know when I've got inner peace because I flourish, it's like walking through a forest and all the flowers start to grow around me'.

"It's important to have some uncertainty in your life. It gives you a bit more freedom." "When you're afraid of something, you have two choices. You can challenge yourself to have a go, or it can stay exactly where you are and do nothing." "You are our future. You are valued. You do make a difference. Please continue to do so."

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nelson Perez, this time focussing on the books he's written and why he wrote them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I had a couple of purposes as to why I wrote my first book, ‘Heart of a Cuban' which I wrote under my initials so my family back home in Cuba weren't persecuted. The first was that I wrote it for my grandkids so that they know who they are and where they come from. I also wrote it for someone only knows rum, salsa dancing, antique cars and beautiful women come from Cuba. Cuba is much more than that and it's important to know how we got here. I still have nightmares about witnessing my grandfather get executed in front of me when I was a child. Putting my story out there takes it from the back of your mind, puts it up front and you get to release a lot of that anger and hostility that you've held inside. I was ghost writing a story for a fellow once and was corroborating his story with historical facts by talking to several people including his mum. His mum gave me a 180-degree different story from one he had told me. It's amazing how two people can see one incident totally differently, no doubt what they both told me was correct in their minds, in the end I think they were both wrong! You always have to have music and flowers in the house every day, otherwise it's not a home. Every morning I try to sit and drink coffee and listen to Cuban jazz, it sets you on the right tone for the day. BEST MOMENTS ‘A lot of people think you become a millionaire by writing a book: No is the simple answer. You'll become a millionaire from the satisfaction you get from writing it'. ‘Generally speaking, a self-published writer who's written their first book will sell on average about 50 books'. ‘All the proceeds of my book go back to renovate my church back home in Cuba which is run by a friend of mine. It was never a money thing for me'. ‘Writing is a mechanism that's the best way of getting things out, whether you're writing a book or a letter to your pastor'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to first time guest, Nelson Perez, about his extraordinary life from fleeing Fidel Castro's Cuba, fighting for the US in Vietnam, building schools and how he got to the place he's in now as a ‘retiree' in Costa Rica. KEY TAKEAWAYS I grew up in Cuba on a 1600 acre sugar cane plantation which had been in our family around 300 years. Part of the product would go to Hershey and the other part would go to American Sugar for coffee and confectionary, etc. When Castro cam in 1959 he began nationalising the country including all farms. When they confiscated our farm my grandfather was very upset, in 1962 he went to the centre of the closest town and gave an anti-Castro speech. State security took him, put him through a 5 minute trial, and the next day he was executed at the town elementary school where I went to school. The same day my dad was also arrested and when through the same process, but the night before his execution he managed to escape. We met up with him in the middle of the night on a mountain, travelled to the coast and mum, dan and myself got on a 16 foot boat and set out for the US. It took us 4 nights to cross the ocean and 300 yards from shore the engine conked out and the boat started taking on water, so we had to swim to shore. My family became immigrants in Miami where people didn't want immigrants, but I got through high school, joined the Marine Corps and served 2 tours of Vietnam. After this I went back to school and got a job in education and went on to work for the State Department building schools for workforce development overseas. I've since ‘retired' to Costa Rica where my wife and I do things to benefit not only our family but the country with our real estate company and a new venture with wholesale and retail coconuts.  Over a 10-year period worldwide coconut production increased by 16%, but demand increased by 600%. By 2028 the demand for coconut water will increase by $6billion. Those two facts together made me realise we needed to be in the coconut business. We started off small, 20 acres, but we wanted to be the biggest in Costa Rica, right now we're at 452 acres and we'll be adding another 300-400 acres by the end of this year. In three years, we'll produce 18 million coconuts. BEST MOMENTS ‘I witnessed my grandfather's execution by government forces at 10 years old. It was a traumatic experience, but it was also a learning experience as everything in life is. I learned what courage and conviction was and how to be a man.' ‘The sense of loyalty my grandfather gave to his sugar cane employees is something that we automatically do today in Costa Rica.' ‘Something I learned from combat training is how to control fear. You can be afraid but you don't have to demonstrate or show it.' ‘Keep plugging forward, keep your values and don't try to impose them or expect them from somebody else, something will always work out.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his chat with Jack Perry about how to leave a legacy in more detail after their opening thoughts on the last episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first key element to how you create a legacy begins with aligning one's inner self with their external behaviour. From there it becomes an inherently external thing, whether that be getting boots on the ground doing the groundwork necessary to create a legacy through an initiative or in a community. To create the positive legacy that most of us desire in our lives you must make your words align with your actions. If that isn't happening within you & you aren't walking the walk of what your profess, it opens the door to creating a negative legacy. It's easier to create a negative legacy than a positive one because positive legacy entails going out and putting into practice what they're talking about, what they profess, what they claim to be their values, attitudes & beliefs.  The best form of action one can take to create the legacy they want is by not necessarily doing anything actionable at all. Listening is a passive activity, but it's incredibly important for anyone to be heard & listened to. Some of the most powerful or influential people in society are known as great listeners, they have an ability to tap into a state of being in an intentional way that acknowledges & validates the feelings & emotions of the person they're listening to. Be present wherever you are. The global scope that World Game-Changers works on to achieve its goals is what differentiates ourselves from other types of initiatives. We're looking at root issues across all societies & cultures, particularly regions of the world that are inhibiting this kind of global infusion.  BEST MOMENTS ‘It all centres around one being able to translate their values, beliefs & attitudes into tangible & actionable behaviour that others can observe'. ‘The legacy that we hope to leave is in part shaped by us, but it's also very much shaped by others' perceptions of us'. ‘Being present has allowed by to become comfortable & familiar with World Game-Changers. Ultimately, you have to dive in, there's never going to be the ‘right' or ‘perfect' time, jump in head first & see where the ride takes you'. ‘We connect ourselves to people who share the same energy or core values that we have, that connection is critical to us cultivating & leaving the type of legacy that we want to leave'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to a first-time guest, Jack Perry; discussing how to leave a legacy – such a simple word, with such a profound impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I think about legacy I think about a particular question: Who do you want to be remembered as after you're no longer here on Earth? What would you want people to say about you in your obituary or at your funeral service? Other people's perceptions, especially in critical moments really encapsulate what ‘legacy' is all about. Legacy can be enjoyed during our time on Earth, it's not necessarily something that manifests entirely after one's passing. It's something that can be cultivated and created on a local, community scale or nationally and globally. Long-term, big picture thinking is important, but for any sort of initiative to have success and a legacy to be cultivated, whether that's for a person or a corporation – there has to be a balance between that big picture vision and granular focus and attention to detail. That's where the groundwork is done. World Game-Changers is a little daunting coming into it and seeing how much ground there is to cover, but something that's cemented my passion for the initiative is the opportunity to cover so much ground and to have a role in affecting good in the world and making sure it aligns with WGC's mission statement: Together as one, and the five values. BEST MOMENTS ‘Legacy provides a fundamental alignment between one's inner self and the person that they exhibit themselves as externally through their actions and behaviours which is crucial to leading the life you want to live'. ‘I'd prefer to have a quiet legacy; someone who cares about others and furthered the good in the world wherever possible'. ‘Timing is never going to be perfect, it's what you make of the timing'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to returning guest Daniel Gasser about letting go and how it has led him on a path to freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you zoom out of the day-to-day stuff, we all have a purpose in life and that's been defined by our higher consciousness before coming here as a human being. That purpose is prevented by our ego, and the reason we're here is to make this journey, to experience things, to get to a point where we realise that if you can just let go of things then the things that are meant for me can come to me. This is very difficult for men like I used to be with a huge ego who needed to have control. Letting go of control takes something from a man. He must first of all become humble, and then see that there are greater things out there than himself. The cool thing is that when we manage to let go, we very quickly experience that good things are coming, the good things we were struggling and fighting for we invisibly and unconsciously pushed away by doing so, they can now come to us as well as many other beautiful things. The higher consciousness is our natural. Normal way of being, it's spirit. This body, mind, brain, heart, emotions are a journey we're making, a dream we're dreaming. The higher state of consciousness has control because it has decided to come here as a human being for whatever reason. The problem comes when you let the ego take control. There's a reason I am here, even if I don't get it. It doesn't matter if I get it or not, in fact it's probably better if I don't. Start to trust in spirit. That something above me – not god or creation – my spirit has decided to live this story here, so it's going to be good and magic things will happen. If we think good things will happen to us, they will and we'll see that this works. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was a man with a huge ego, and a man with a huge ego can't easily let go of things, he has to have control and be in charge and that prevents a lot of things.' ‘It's fear based; if we let go we no longer have control. We don't have control; we just think we do.' ‘Life is not meant to be a struggle or difficult, life is meant to be beautiful.' ‘Emotions are not going to kill us. Why are we so afraid of them?'

Because I saw in my own life what's possible if we dare ask for help I live it every day with joy, happiness and bliss. “My higher purpose is to show human beings that we are not slaves, not working robots but highly spiritual, divine and extremely powerful beings. Is to make people see our world as what it is; Paradise and life are a gift, a path we chose as an experience to make our higher consciousness understand what life is. Is to help people increase their brain activity to see beyond the illusion, and the lies and to become empathetic, telepathic and eventually telekinetic.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to life coach, Darla Beam, about the topic creating from nothing & what it means to them both. KEY TAKEAWAYS This really symbolises a childlike wonder. When you were young everything was a new adventure, the sky was the limit & you had zero fears. You were excited to be, play & dance, or just sin in circles. It's about returning back to who we inherently are meant to be. As we grow it's like we put on more layers & it gets heavy & hot until we're almost suffocated. This prohibits us from ascending our consciousness. As we become aware of these layers we can look at, be conscious about, aware & make committed choices to take the layers off. Each time we do we feel a bit lighter, more aware, conscious. This opens us up to new possibilities, potentials & exciting things we couldn't have imagined otherwise. When you focus your energy on self-growth you don't need the invitation/gift from the universe to suffer & learn lessons because you're creating it for yourself. If you've ever done a connect the dots drawing, you can't see the picture until the end. We all already have the picture, in our work together we connect those dots & then you see this beautiful thing that felt like a puzzle before, but is now an incredibly lovely picture & you get to choose how to colour it in. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are born so whole & pure, we have it already inside of us.' ‘We're spiritual beings having a physical experience & we're here to ascend through the levels on consciousness.' ‘The universe will have it no other way; we're going to have pain in our lives & we're going to have self-growth, but we get to choose between these.' ‘I drill all the way down into the core of the essence of the human being to focus on supporting them & finding who they inherently are at their essence.'

On this episode very special 600th episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul concludes the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to many guests, including some familiar voices from across the series & around the world, to close out the topic.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul Kelly: My take on the topic comes from the time I met Brian Clough. I thanked him for all the things he'd done for Nottingham Forest FC and the people of Nottingham, and he said: “You're a very nice young man, you'll go a long way.” In those few words my life changed, they elevated my thought process about myself, where I was at and what I could do. His words gave my life new meaning.  Nicole Bellisle: I think it's the one our ancestors told about a time in human history when we forgot that we are nature & how to connect to one another, what our human potential is capable of, and how powerful & empowered we can be in community. We're living that moment of prophesy where we get to remember again and heal the cultural patterns that have caused us to forget out connectivity and to be separate. We do this through loving ourselves and our neighbour, and remembering what matters most, and makes us most human. Megan Gardiner: For me it's about our ancient origins and how we're connected to civilisations that don't necessarily come from our planet but come from other planets, in other galaxies, in other star systems. The thread that moves through all that information is that we are one. The big thing that comes through is kindness, both to each other and our environment, that will pull us through. Kiran Addala: My take regards volunteering. I started volunteering when I moved to the UK in 2002 at Age Concern. It was fascinating and there were lots of stories I took from their life experiences & advice; I've been volunteering for the last 20 years now. Chantal Francisco: Being in a position of second place provides great leverage in making the world a better place. When we take a subservient or supportive role, or being a volunteer, it creates a better world by providing more people with the same mindset empowering other people. It multiplies and creates a better place for everybody. Kristin Johnson: For me it's remembering being read to by my mother, and being read Greek mythology by my grandfather; listening to all of his nature lore and understanding that we too have a rich history and connection to nature, this planet & our ancestors. We should realise that stories are all around us, not just ours or those of great and powerful people, but those of everyday people and unsung heroes.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Jim Maher about what the topic means for him. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's an author called Bobby Buford who wrote ‘Half Time: Moving From Success to Significance', which is for people thinking about retiring & talking about purpose. You have periods of time where it's been go-go-go for various reasons  to a new chapter which speaks to my current journey. I'm a serial entrepreneur, I've lived a life of agriculture & watching people get to a point where they would pass or become disabled & their life's worth was sold off – a pig was a pig, a cow was a cow, and an acre or farm ground was an acre or farm ground. There was no enterprise around value built. My fondness for these closely held business owners means I recognise what they do for their communities & the people they employ 32,000 companies employ 10-330 in a 150-mile radius of St. Louis. These account for 49% of the entire workforce, but 2/3 of those companies are declining. What does that mean for the opportunities for all the employees in those companies? 70% of the business owners were at or past natural retirement age. The story that tells for the future is not that bright unless we do a much better job helping these business owners. I could feel the people's pain that we worked with & their frustration with miscommunication, it should be easier. After a long time looking, we saw that if it was to be done, it would have to be done by me. We built an organisation where we put all the service providers under one roof that the clients (and my widow) would need.  BEST MOMENTS ‘There's always a bright one in everyone's life & my bright one is my wife.' ‘We've definitely had rapids & rough water along the journey because it hadn't been done before but once people saw that I had all the licences it became an easy button.' ‘Our core values are really simple: Help others become more, share success.' ‘When you know you have the technology in place, & the people that have the backgrounds in those areas to help others, that's exciting.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Sam Goodwin to discuss what the topic means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS I speak full time, primarily to corporate & faith-based audiences, about uncertainty & how we embrace & manage it in our personal & professional lives. My presentations are narrative-driven & include many of the dramatic elements of my stories. In 2019 I was taken hostage in Syria. Thanks to a long list of people who worked tirelessly the situation ended peacefully. Although that was very uncomfortable & a very challenging time, there has been so much good that's come from it. I was pushed to a point of overwhelming uncertainty, truly life or death. But through that I learned some things that were helpful to me & I feel can be helpful to others too. The same recipes I found to manage & survive are also relevant to all of us when we're facing our own versions of uncertainty. If we shift out mindset & recognise our uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, to develop, to make new connections, whatever it might be; that can be transformative, it can really change the way we overcome challenges, interact with our friends & family, there's so much opportunity there if we choose to view it that way. BEST MOMENTS ‘I believe in the power of storytelling & the way we speak to ourselves is very important as well & can lead to happiness, success & a range of other things too'. ‘I feel not so much survivor's guilt as survivor's responsibility. To share what I learned & how I grew through this experience'. ‘Traits like self-esteem & confidence are extremely important in how we treat ourselves & affect how happy & successful we are & how much we enjoy our lives'. ‘You have to lean into gratitude, control the things you can control, & recognise uncertainty as an opportunity for growth'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Sergei Turkov to discuss what the topic means to him.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Each one of us has their own story so this topic is for each & everyone. Each person has gems to share with the world & is what I'm trying to achieve with the Wois app, which is an intelligent social culture for professionals, melding the professionalism of LinkedIn with the dynamism of TikTok. In LinkedIn these days every second person is the SEO of the world & the master at everything. We want people to understand that each one of us is unique & we want people to accept that. People might not like your opinions but tat's totally fine, it's your opinion. There are many great stories we know that have been told by well-known people throughout history. But, can you imagine how many stories you don't know that could potentially be much more impactful, that people can learn from? It's difficult to impact millions straight away, but just starting to try to impact even a tiny amount of people in a good way is a start. Sharing experiences, good vibes & knowledge in an open way is a great thing. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're trying to help interesting people get heard, & communicate with anyone, anywhere, any time'. ‘We want people to be more comfortable & confident in what they say & being able to structure their thoughts better'. ‘Each one of us has their own story & it should be highlighted or told by yourself & maybe stored for your great-grand-kids'. ‘If your words can impact 1 or 2 people it's more than enough'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Aimee Mosco & Kristin Johnson about what the topic means for them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I don't think we know what the second greatest story is, but I think it's something that we can intentionally create. We have our really good story that stands out in our lives, but you can't say the the second greatest story has happened yet because we don't know what's going to happen next. The concept of truth not being exactly where two parties sit is definitely something to explore. We should adjust it to say the truth really sits above us rather than in between us.  We're divine creators, the things we take for granted, like your bodily functions… your body is like a master machine & the way it operates is really spectacular; you don't need to think about breathing, it just happens. We're creating a reality we live in just be breathing. When I look at the stories people create in their lives everything starts with a level of awareness. When this is heightened, the stories you intentionally create are very different from the ones you create when you're not aware. BEST MOMENTS ‘There's always another great story to tell.' ‘There's three sides to every story; your side, their side & the truth.' ‘Use your perspective to create the next best story ever told with intention & your eye on the ball.' ‘Sometimes it's hard to know where to start when you want to change your story, but if you have a list/recipe to work from, you can look at each element & see what you can do to get a lemon cake instead of a chocolate cake.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Cory Lopes-Warfield about what the topic means for him. KEY TAKEAWAYS I'm a scripture guys, so I think of the Bible as being the greatest story ever told, but I have also studied other religious texts as well & through that lens I think we're all one. The other part of our collective story is the second greatest story ever told, I don't think it's inherently about a person, instead it's about a people. There are so many definitions of faith. Biblically it's the evidence of thing unseen, a lot of the time faith means believing in something that can't be proven. But, a very general definition is that it's whatever we believe in. There are technologies being developed in our third dimension that are possibly bringing in a fourth dimension. There are people smarter than myself that believe that the large world model concept and AI could replace reality, they speculate that we might not be living in base reality. Centuries ago people thought the Sun revolved around the Earth, paradigms are changing. A lot of people care greatly about things that are irrelevant, like what other people think about them or what's true or real. Ultimately, it doesn't matter, these are just things that are being used to divide & distract us, to get us out of living in our power in the moment. BEST MOMENTS ‘Humanity is different incantations of the same person.' ‘Things are changing really, really fast because of technology, all we really have is the moment & each other, we can contribute out creations & thoughts.' ‘If someone says something I know to be untrue but they say it with conviction, who am I to change their reality?' ‘It's foolish to argue with fools.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul continues the mini-series based around the "Second Greatest Story Ever Told." This time he talks to World Game-Changers' Chairman, Martin Leifeld about what the topic means for him. KEY TAKEAWAYS It seems to me that the second greatest story ever told is your story and my story, each one of us as a human being has a story & it's the most important one because it's about our life, our perceptions, our life experience. It implies that we can make something great & become someone great. The greatest truth is in one sense discovering your greatest purpose. It's universal that we become the greatest, most virtuous, most loving, most generous person we can be, a person who appreciates others & is rewarded by appreciating & being grateful for those around you, even the ones that give us a hard time. Suffering is an interesting thing. It can make the best out of people or it can lead to people becoming their worst selves. It all comes down to what we do with what we've got where we are now. Faith is very important to me along with family and service. I think about them every single morning as part of my morning practice of preparing for the day. BEST MOMENTS ‘Every human being has this equally provided by virtue of being a human being, you can be poor or rich, but it's what you do with what you have, where you are'. ‘We're all world game changers'. ‘Over the course of life we acquire experience which shapes us & causes us to reflect on our lives & shapes ourselves & what we see around us'. ‘Every moment in our day is an opportunity to decide & we perceive it accordingly'.

Martin Leifeld would sit in his car rehearsing his ask with sweaty palms, praying he wouldn't get another rejection. Determined to master his craft he learned the power of embracing discomfort and through powerful human behaviour techniques was able to raise over $500 Million for three organisations! Martin served as vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for ten years. While there, he led a dramatic increase in fundraising, averaging $26.4 million per year. Prior to joining UMSL, Martin was associate vice president for university development at Saint Louis University, where he led his team raising $158 million in 3 years. Raising money became his Number One passion and Martin has since been able to distil the art of fundraising into core fundamental principles and a clear formula that anyone can learn.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Gary Clarke & Gary Harris about football & whether or not it's still the beautiful game? KEY TAKEAWAYS Sheffield United fans told me recently that they hate being in the Premier League now, you can get tickets anymore. It's great for the first year, being able to visit the grounds of the famous teams & being able to take their kids, but it's just got worse & worse this year. I only go because my boy still wants to go. It's all about money, they don't care about the fans. The leagues are too top heavy financially, with loads more money at the top end and hardly any in the lower end. Clubs have been asking to be relegated in the non-league which highlights the lack of money even though they had their best ever season, finishing 6th, they can't maintain or upgrade their ground. Where one player's weeks' wages from Man Utd could have saved that club. I don't think it's possible to get the game back, as we knew it. There's far too much money in there. The only think we might see is a separation where the big clubs go off into some kind of European league & reformat the English Football League. I can't see any other way of balancing it out. One of the nails in the coffin was introducing all-seater stadiums as a must in the top leagues & on top of that introduced allocated seating, Rather than the fans getting in there early together to have a knees-up & create an atmosphere, now everyone's split up around the ground which is hard to get an atmosphere going. BEST MOMENTS ‘I've lost interest & become disillusioned with football'. ‘They've betrayed a working class sport & working class fans, it's all about money'. 'Some Arsenal fans have pulled away & started their own club because the membership fees were a scandal because you still couldn't get a ticket while the club made £18million'. ‘You're no longer a fan, you're a customer'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Gary Clarke & Kristin Johnson about what the topic means for them. KEY TAKEAWAYS The greatest story ever told obviously refers to the bible and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the second greatest story ever told is the story if our own lives, at least in our own minds. The birth of my son changed my life and I've turned my life around entirely over the last 15 years, he was the final piece of the puzzle. His story is only second to the story of Nottingham Forest winning the back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980. A lot of hardworking parents sacrifice to make sure that their kids can play sports, have the learning experience with teamwork and discipline. It's a lot of kids' way to college, if they're really good they can get a scholarship. But you have to balance the good times with the hard work that has to be put in behind the scenes.  I wish I'd concentrated a bit harder at school, all I was interested in was sport, I could have done better. I just hope my son can do better than I did. You always have to have something to fall back on and understand the value of hard work & money. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are the heroes of our own stories'. ‘Eveyone's got a story to tell, and everyone's got a book in them'. ‘It's great sharing my passion with my son, if he didn't like football I don't know what I'd do with myself!' ‘You've got to work hard to make your dreams come true'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul begins the first of a 10-part mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. He talks to Daniel Gasser about what this interesting topic means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS The second best story ever told is our yesterday's story because the greatest story being told is our today's story. Yesterday's is the second best because we evolve, live, learn, grow, have fun, have pain. Yesterday is always yesterday, it's passed, there's nothing to change. The most important thing in life is what we think and what we feel, what we tell ourselves to be our truth. If we tell ourselves we're not worth it, or we're never going to make it, or find a lover this is what is going to happen. If I tell myself that today is a good day and tomorrow's going to be even better chance are that it will be. We don't just have to react to the world around us. When we set intentions we train and tune our brain, heart, our whole being to that intention unconsciously. We must let go of wanting to control the outcome though because it will happen if we keep positive emotionally. If we don't have a vision in our lives we're just a working robot, getting up every morning, doing our job we probably don't even like to pay the bills and provide to our family. That's only a very tiny part of being a human being. The greater part is that we're divine, very powerful beings that can create almost anything out of thin air. BEST MOMENTS ‘What we tell ourselves is the most powerful thing we can do, it influences our lives greatly'. ‘We're all a tiny, little part in a great quantum field, everything is energy including our thoughts and stories'. ‘If you want to make god laugh, tell him about your plans'. ‘You don't need a grand vision or goal, it's enough to have an idea or vague dream of something that should be in your life, that's the start of the process and things will start to happen'.

Because I saw in my own life what's possible if we dare ask for help I live it every day with joy, happiness and bliss. “My higher purpose is to show human beings that we are not slaves, not working robots but highly spiritual, divine and extremely powerful beings. Is to make people see our world as what it is; Paradise and life are a gift, a path we chose as an experience to make our higher consciousness understand what life is. Is to help people increase their brain activity to see beyond the illusion, and the lies and to become empathetic, telepathic and eventually telekinetic.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul concludes his conversation with James Conroy-Finn about the meaning of life on a positive, self-empowering note. KEY TAKEAWAYS Getting from where you are now to where you want to be sometimes requires self-reflection & an amount of self-awareness that maybe doesn't come naturally. It can get uncomfortable when we start looking at mental health, depression, bereavement & other life events that can take us off course. Coaching is about helping other people navigate that journey, recognise some things about themselves & plan together to get them to where they want to be. There's something to be said for being content in oneself, not being too beholden to the opinion of others. But there is a balance. If you're a pariah (an arsehole) you're probably not going to do as well in life as if you are kind & decent When talking to people face-to-face & they're talking about their relationship with someone, you can see in their facial expressions things that maybe they aren't articulating. When someone talks about their relationships with 2 different people, they might use certain words to describe 1 person and not for the other. The omission of a word – especially if it aligns with their values – can communicate something about the amount of respect they have for that person or the strength of their relationship. We live by metaphors, it's how we express everything: Life is a journey, move forward, don't spend too much time in the past, look up not down. For some reason we think looking up is celestial, spiritual, aspirational & looking down is solemn, sedentary, depressing. To some degree you see that in people; if someone's got their head down you think they're feeling low. We understand our world through metaphors. You have to be careful using them when coaching, you need to be more clear. BEST MOMENTS ‘Life is a journey we're all on, taking steps towards something. Working out the right place to put your foot requires an understanding of your values'. ‘Jumping in to try & solve someone else's problem isn't always productive or helpful. Sitting back & giving them the opportunity to express their & really hear them is immensely valuable to them'. ‘Find someone you care about & have an interest in & say very little, just listen. There are little things we can do to get them to elaborate & help us understand where they are & where they're trying to get to. Hopefully we can then get them to where they want to be'. ‘Be present & witness what's going on around you'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with James Conroy-Finn about the meaning of life, specifically about being a World Game-Changer & overcoming depression. KEY TAKEAWAYS I don't know that you ever can fully overcome depression. In many ways it's apart of what we are, a part of our brains & the way we exist & relate to the world around us. Being aware of that & knowing where it comes from & ways you can spend more time in a positive place & developing coping mechanisms. In a way, it's a bit like addictions. Learning to cope with it & navigate it is something we all can do. Most people can probably think of times when they were happy or sad. If you spend time exploring these emotions; you can bring them back. You can make yourself cry by thinking of a film you've watched, like Schindler's List. Same with happiness, like when I first took my dog – Charlie – to the park & taught him how to do tricks. We should be pursuing knowledge, clarity of thought & mental models of how you can better relate to & understand the world around you, these are worthwhile pursuits. Once you have that foundation you can spend your time on all sorts of novel areas.  If you can't be critical or distance your ego from your ideas & have people challenge you, if you have no understanding of the natural world or spent time looking at things like chemistry, physics and biology – The language of mathematics has a bad rep, but if you speak that language it becomes very easy to understand certain things, like the relationship between components of a system. There's great value in this as it helps us better communicate & relate to one another. That's where there's beauty to be found. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can choose how you feel & how you respond to the world, but I don't think we can ever choose not to be human.' ‘Having an adversarial relationship with yourself is never going to be productive.' You're not defined by every idea that pops into your head.' ‘When people try to inhibit others it only holds us all back.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with James Conroy-Finn about the meaning of life, specifically from a pragmatic point of view. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pragmatists were Americans & were opposed to the more navel gazing philosophers & did things because they were practical & had some intrinsic value to help them get through life. If you're a deep thinker perhaps you gravitate more towards the abstract? There's an unhealthy negativity around deep thinking & intellectualism, but I think if you do it the right way & are thoughtful, that's a good thing. If you're obsessive, you're probably not doing things in moderation. Philosophy gets a bad rep, but every human being is fascinated by the big questions like where did we come from, why are we here, & why are things the way they are? We're a curious species & we should celebrate that. None of us experience reality in any true, objective sense. It's an abstraction, an image our brains create & it only exists because it's allowed us to survive & procreate as well as to identify threats. We don't see the universe for what it really is. We see an arrow of time, moving things forward, but it doesn't seem that the universe cares about that, it's not intrinsic to the universe, it's something we add when we're put into the equation. We shape the world around us & create stories. It's an illusion. BEST MOMENTS ‘We're all experiencing an hallucination, the difference between people that are sane & insane is that we agree on that hallucination.' ‘Our brains have tendencies to prefer certain shapes.' ‘We create meaning, the universe itself doesn't.'

It definitely highlights the people who are succeeding in life & the ones that are dragging behind. What you output is what you'll get as an input, instead of focussing on how much you have to make doing this, or what am I going to do? Focus on the input & everything else will take care of itself. The output isn't something we can necessarily control but the input & how you use time matter. Financial freedom means you aren't trading your time for money. It's the appreciation & the comprehension that money is printed & you can't print time. If something isn't replicatable then you should hold onto it for dear life. Money is something that's more of an ideology than something that's actually valuable & something that we should chase. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you had the same amount of money as there are seconds in the day (86,000), would you let a person who ruined £10 of that, would you let that affect the rest of the pot?' ‘Each time we dwell on things from the past and we don't appreciate what's ahead of us is time spent poorly.' ‘You should utilise your money, time, love, food, exercise & relationships to benefits.' ‘Focus on what you want to achieve in life & you'll get it.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul continues his conversation with Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, this time around the pair discuss the power of music, its rhythm & energy, & they dissect playlists they have both compiled & why they chose those tracks.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We have different musical tastes in terms of genre or when the songs came out, & that could be cultural or generational. But I also saw a lot of overlap in terms of themes; we both had songs about love, heartbreak, and loneliness, as well as cultural revolution or evolution of our humanity which was cool. Music seems to be one of those things that transcends time & even place. If we look at the essence of our humanity, it's such a representation of what moves us & what is most core to who & what we are. I believe that, at our core, we are love & music as a form of art is such an expression of that regardless of what the details of tone, lyrics or beat end up looking like in the complete rendition of the song. Music is something that connects us all & speaks to us all, it's universal, it's non-polarising, it's non-political, it's something that we get to keep for ourselves & experience with one another. It also transcends any language barriers, we can feel moved, connect, and dance even if we can't speak to one another. It's one of the most magical, beautiful aspects of music. There's a rare air that, when we truly come together as co-creators with an intention to create something beautiful or something meaningful, so many lines up to make that happen. The product that falls out of the process has this way of being timeless & continues to give long after the birth actually happens.   BEST MOMENTS ‘If we can come to accept something as pleasurable as musical diversity, maybe that's a catalyst for being more accepting of other people's thoughts & opinions.' ‘These songs might define our work or the sense of purpose that we feel. The way that music invites us into new possibilities & into change is a really worthwhile insight into this exercise.' ‘Music is something that can really unite us, which came up lyrically in ‘We Are the World'.' ‘Music for me is tied to specific memories or emotions & it can serve as a map of my life, of where I was in my own evolution.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK) Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA) Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group   ABOUT THE GUEST Nicole Bellisle: Conscious leadership is a deep practice that invites us to stand in our truth & integrity.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to James Conroy-Finn to talk about music, labelling & how it all relates to the meaning of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Labels can be valuable. I've had friends diagnosed with ADHD who has found this useful. Perhaps they don't experience all of the symptoms that other people that have been labelled with ADHD might experience, but it gives them some structure & ideal of where they fit in to the universe & why they may have struggled at school, for example, where they may have been labelled a naughty child. Every human being, regardless of culture, potentially has an ingrained appreciation for the structure of music & the relationship between notes. Some of that comes down to biology & the way our brains work to interpret those signals, as it responds in certain ways to certain frequencies. Layering culture on top makes it more fascinating. Our musical taste doesn't change that much after our formative years. The music we tend to love the most is the stuff that we listened to as teenagers because we've formed a connection to it: Your first kiss, first car, exam results, those major life events are often associated with some piece of music which can take you back to that place. Later in life we have less of a tendency to explore as much and find those songs, which comes back to the brain. BEST MOMENTS ‘Our sense of smell can take us back to a place in our past, & so can music.' ‘The correct state of the brain is the teenage brain, we should be a little bit more willing to take risks, things should be a little bit more exciting & passionate.' ‘You've got to put in the work. If you do put in the work & you invest in yourself you will come out better at the end of it, but it's scary, it's daunting to face that demon directly in the eyes & try to challenge it.' ‘I'm not a huge fan of the term ‘genius', I think often it diminishes the effort that people put into the work that they do.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, this time around the pair discuss Nicole's bias towards non-conventionalism, whether this means advancement & ask if this is a driver to try new ways of doing things in all aspects of life or if she is pushing beyond what's really true for her. KEY TAKEAWAYS When impulses to do the unconventional thing, or to go against or question the status quo come up, take a moment to pause and ask: “Why am I doing this?” Most of the time, I am rebelling and moving away from the status quo because I see something that's broken in many of the systems in which we are living & the cultural rules or patterns that we've been operating from. So, my intentions are good – looking for the possibility for more love, ease, connection & abundance. Each new generation is a disruptor in the fact of the status quo & wants to push the boundaries & test things. We see this in young children in the earliest stages of development & I've witnessed this in myself in my late teenage years through my 20s. In my early 30s was when I started to settle into a level of comfort around the uncertainty & knowing I can push the boundaries and go into the edges, but I can be choosier now of which edges I go into & why & make sure they're true for me. BEST MOMENTS ‘We need to move away from selfish individualism or ego & into something that's more generous & reciprocal.'‘I have a drive towards being different & doing the thing that causes me to stand out. To some extent that can come from the ego, so it's something to be aware of.'‘I admire Gen Z, they're pushing edges that I had never even dreamed of pushing. I'm learning so much from the disruption that generation is inviting into our collective field. I'm rooting them on.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, this time around the pair discuss lifestyle in a holistic sense & Nicole's drive to be generally unconventional. KEY TAKEAWAYS There's an inner, rebellious, teenager – in a way – that drives me to be an individualist & different from my peers or my parents. Especially when I was younger, if I didn't differentiate myself, express myself differently or do the non-conventional thing, not only did I feel a bit trapped but I felt a fear of not being enough, not standing out, not being wanted. It's really deep wound for me. Even now, in my business, I do hold tenderly this awareness & love for this inner child. I still really enjoy bringing the different thought or perspective to the table or asking the question that challenges the status quo. I've learned to do that from a place that's more heart-centred & less ego-driven. I'm looking for the parts of our systems or culture that are harmful or broken or where I see something is missing & could be more whole and regenerative. BEST MOMENTS ‘I have this real drive to pilot new ways of doing things in all areas of my life. It shows up in how I visualise my future family, how I run my company & connect that with my broader holistic lifestyle.' ‘I get a lot of my inspiration from nature & biomimicry as well as some indigenous knowledge systems.' ‘I look for decisions where my feet are moving before I even realise it, action is being taken almost subconsciously.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK)  Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA)  Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK)  Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA)  Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group   ABOUT THE GUEST Nicole Bellisle: Conscious leadership is a deep practice that invites us to stand in our truth & integrity.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, this time around relationships & especially monogamy. KEY TAKEAWAYS I'm someone who bought into monogamy til I was 28 years old & about to get married to the wrong person. We called it off, but that experience led me to question everything. Is this what I want? Is this going to work for me? Can I make a commitment to someone for a lifetime & still be in full integrity? Or, because of the every-evolving nature of ourselves, am I going to be a different person in 10 years with different needs & curiosities.  I've explored open relationships, polygamy, and I've been playing in those places to understand what my ideal version of relationship is. I've found myself in situations that also didn't work, and I've also found myself in a monogamous relationship! We need to honour ourselves with reverence & truth, even if it's scary or will potentially cause family members or people close to us to judge us or cast us out. The challenge for me is in the questioning of ideals, I was really, really indoctrinated/brainwashed by Disney into believing monogamy is the only way. I'm still a romantic but my idea of relationship has been cracked open and is a bit more flexible now. BEST MOMENTS ‘Where have my values come from? Are they values I want to keep? Are they values I want to change?' ‘Honour what's true for you'. ‘Things are no longer ‘either/or', they're ‘both/and' or ‘both/neither''. ‘I now trust this person more than anyone because of this experience & because of how I've created trust with myself'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to a new guest, Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, of what we should, would & are supposed to do. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's interesting how was have these labels that convey things about age, status, or even a role that we might be playing as women, men, younger folk even. It immediately gives a connotation in some direction & is not always a direct match to what my self-construct/identity is. In any company I've run I usually do energy work before major meetings or before getting on stage or getting into a difficult conversation with someone on my team where a potential conflict may arise. There's something so powerful about the energy that we send out & that we exude from the physical body & fill the space with. If I'm changing my inner landscape & my internal environment energetically or by bringing awareness to my thoughts, I'm shifting my perspective. It's like I'm literally changing the glasses I'm wearing through which I'm seeing the world. BEST MOMENTS ‘Words hold power, I sometimes say words are spells, we can use the power of words to tap into something poetic & conveys a powerful message'. ‘Change is the only constant'. ‘The Western mindset is not the only reality or world view that's active even at this time on the planet. There are other ways of being that are happening simultaneously'. ‘I'm constantly shifting between attachment and non-attachment & it changes my world view'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is solo again to bring you another short but impactful episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS We've all got a message to share & a story to tell. The challenge is that most of us, at one time or other things: “Nobody really wants to hear my story, I'm not interesting, I've just lived a normal life, why would people ever want to listen to me?” The answer to that is wrapped up in vibrational frequency. Forget how you should pitch your voice, the words you should say & the tonality, the physiology, I feel there's something that underpins all of that which enables us to speak naturally, so we speak our truth rather than from a place of technique. BEST MOMENTS ‘When I speak, how do I feel? Light & empowered? Do I believe what I'm really saying? That's the crux of the matter: What's coming from within me as an individual? Am I speaking my real, deep truth from an energy perspective?' ‘Using the WOIS (World Of Impactful Speakers) app has had a profound effect on my life.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul goes solo & talks about the game of life which, much like the beautiful game (football), is a (mind) game of two halves. KEY TAKEAWAYS From my own experience, the first half of my life has been very much around the ego, the drive, the achieving, wanting to come first & win at all costs, the more physical & mental aspects. Whereas the second half has been much more about letting go & realising what's important.  Life has certainly been a different game since I gave up my alcohol addiction some 40 years ago. Has your life played out in two halves? Is the second half about to unfold? By letting go in the second half, I've been more accepting & have found belief in a higher power (which is different for all of us), let it unfold & let life happen through you. BEST MOMENTS ‘As I look at the futility of my life's journey, looking back on how I pushed myself & so much pressure on myself & those around me to achieve, what was the point?' ‘Life will happen through us, if we allow it, rather than too us.'
