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.'

In 2017, Sharon and her husband began to follow another plan that of investing in property, to ultimately create greater choice in their lives, live their highest values, do what they love to do and always say at any point from then onwards… “No regrets and we did it our way” Email 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.

Lyn appears on the world-renowned World Game Changers podcast alongside Paul Lowe, to discuss the theme "Things I Didn't Know." Lyn shares her wisdom and insights on personal development, emphasising the importance of shifting from a mindset of fear, lack, worry and doubt to one of love, abundance, faith and trust, so you can consistantly attract a happy peaceful life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Our thoughts and focus shape our experiences. Where focus goes energy flows. By concentrating on positive aspects and viewing situations through a lens of love, abundance, faith and trust, we can create a happier more fulfilling reality. Many individuals are unaware of how societal conditioning influences their mindset, often leading to us living in a default state of fear, lack, worry and doubt. Recognising this conditioning is the first step toward self-empowerment and change. Developing self-love can be challenging due to past conditioning and external influences. A helpful exercise is to look in a mirror and visualise oneself as a child, which can make it easier to express & extend compassion to that child and then subsequently progress to love one's current self. Humour plays a significant role in the healing process. It can provide relief and perspective during difficult times, making it easier to help individuals cope with loss and adversity. BEST MOMENTS "I didn't know until I'd done a lot of work on myself that things happen 'for you' and not 'to you', and that you have the power to be in control of the things that you create/ receive in your life." "Everything is a self-fulfilling prophecy, whether that's negative or positive. We attract what we focus on." "The easiest way to start the process of self-love is to think of yourself as a little boy or little girl." "Just having this support, guidance, mentorship... just somebody to give us that little bit of belief in ourselves."

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.'

He is an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and world-renowned thinker. Richard began his career in education, most notably as headmaster of the failing Grange Primary School. In just two years, he famously transformed it into one of the most acclaimed learning environments in the world; celebrated by UNESCO and the UK Government for its incredible turnaround. Richard has since transitioned to the global stage where he uses his trademark humour and natural style to deliver passionate, provocative, and authentic speeches. He draws upon the first-hand experiences and unique insights garnered from frontline education, to explore the links between great leadership, human potential, change, and innovation. His ability to connect experiences across many seemingly different environments helps people to expand their thinking and perception of potential. It is this authenticity and uniqueness which has helped Richard win him global acclaim and invitations to speak on the most recognised stages, including TED, the RSA and BBC radio.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Paul (PK) Kelly about the things he didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Perception is a brilliant word: You might thing you're doing a brilliant job, but someone might say you're doing it all wrong. 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 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.

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'.

ABOUT THE GUEST Paul's young parents divorced before he attended primary school, resulting in him and his mother going to stay with his loving grandparents. From starting primary school, Paul was always a keen sportsman, excelling at swimming, football, chess and cricket, and establishing himself as a regular in the Nottinghamshire (UK) cricket set-up, his grandmother decided to give Paul 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 10 days in a coma, he awoke and started to rebuild his life: but encountering severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia and heavy drinking binges. With the help of family, the NHS, friends, and cricket friends, step-by-step, Paul began the road to recovery and happiness – a 25-year roller-coaster journey.

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.'

How To Leave A Legacy (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Jack Perry

Speaking From Our Hearts

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 17, 2024 31:32


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'.

Letting Go: The Pathway to Freedom – Paul D. Lowe & Daniel Gasser

Speaking From Our Hearts

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.

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.'

When we do the inner work to self-heal & master our energy, we build cultures that invite people into their wholeness, rather than cultures that exploit or control.

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?

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.'

How To 'Consciously' Uncouple - Lyn Smith & Paul Lowe

Hearts Entwined Podcast

Lyn has a unique and different conversation with her ex-partner, Paul Lowe. They discuss the concept of 'consciously' uncoupling and how they have managed to remain close friends after their separation. They emphasise the importance of communication, finding middle ground, and injecting humour into difficult situations. They also introduce the idea of a "love box" where both parties give unconditionally without any expectations.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is key in any relationship, especially during the process of being more conscious when uncoupling. Finding a middle ground or a shared entity can help maintain a positive connection after separation. Humour can be a powerful tool to diffuse tension and navigate difficult conversations. The concept of a "love box" suggests giving unconditionally without expecting anything in return. Adopting pets can provide companionship and love during lonely or challenging times. BEST MOMENTS "We're separating, we're parting, we've come to the end of the road. We're conscious of that."  "The relationship that we've got from my heart now is extremely sacred."  "Consciously uncoupling is separating those emotions out. It's one thing splitting assets, but to split out your emotions, that's a different kettle of fish."  "My love for you has actually increased because there's no expectation that we'll be sharing a bed or doing this together as a couple."ABOUT THE GUEST - Paul Lowe -  Founder & President of World Game-Changers Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Klementina Karol to talk about something that's very close to their hearts: How love changes everything.  KEY TAKEAWAYS I was working to create my dream job and I realised that something was missing. I connected the dots between the unsustainability that we're currently seeing around the planet and traumas, fears, and beliefs and how we're still very much influenced by our collective heritage from the past – we're still in survival mode even though our technology has advanced. Each of us is a node in this collective symphony that we're creating and each of us has a frequency that has thoughts, a vibration, actions we're taking that influences everything. Each of us is so important. Imagine the vibration of love and how beautiful that feels. Love is one of the highest vibrations we can tap into, and when we're in that vibration everyone around us can feel it and can also be intoxicated by it. What I love about love is that we can still be loved and wonder if we feel it at a deeper essence, that this person's soul gets it. Often times they actually do. But I've definitely tried to steer away from trying to explain myself and my journey too much to people who don't really understand it. BEST MOMENTS ‘How can we transform the inner dimension so we can create a more beautiful life on the outside and really influence the collective'. ‘If there's trust we can more easily open up to the flow and open up our hearts and continue creating.'‘There's so much power in silence, I love silence so much which I discovered when I lived in Bali'. ‘One of my biggest fears in the past was that I'll never get to experience real love. I didn't know how it felt until a few years ago, my heart wasn't open'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest Kiran K. Addala to talk about creating lasting legacies, their four stages, and what legacy means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS Legacy is about the visionary geniuses of the world who are able to think futuristically, have a positive impact on their community or society, and leave strong impressions in our memories. I was amazed when reading in school to hear people talking really highly about certain people, like Mahatma Ghandi or Winston Churchill, about what they had done and the impact they'd had.   Parenting gives you great purpose in your life, you're doing something for somebody, making a difference. You face a lot of challenges and you need to commit a lot of time to it, but it's invaluable. Legacy doesn't have to be a very long commitment, it could be as simple as doing something in the street to inspire a group of people who may go and imitate it somewhere else.  BEST MOMENTS‘Even the most massive legacy started with one step by one person trying to solve one particular issue'. ‘As an individual, it's very important to continue as a learner. One life is not good enough to become an expert, there's no ending to learning any topic in this world'. ‘The biggest motivation for any individual or corporate is what you're working towards, how you get satisfaction for it, how many people can you influence, what kid of problems can you solve'. ‘You create legacy by shaping people under you who will be able to take up your role and responsibility at some point because they are inspired by you and what you do'.

On this episode, Paul is joined by Andrii Svyrydov to talk about technology as it escalates exponentially with the birth of AI, and how it can help humanity. KEY TAKEAWAYS AI will help us to work less than we're working right now, they will be able to spend more time working on their health, families, etc. It's not bad, it's good and things will be even better than now. I believe that work will be changed. It's a good idea to start educating yourself to become an engineer or in IT and other niches. In the next 5 years AI will become a game-changing technology. BEST MOMENTS‘Technology has really helped humanity by helping older people to stay at home rather than in hospitals'. ‘In my industry, around 40% or people will be replaced by AI'. ‘Once we can connect between continents using the internet and technology in milliseconds, the world will become global and we will remove a lot of boundaries between different countries.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul (as the founder of World Game-Changers) asks the question: What Does It take To Become A World Game-Changer? KEY TAKEAWAYS A world game-changer devotes themselves to a higher purpose, to impact the world and the lives of other for the better. They come from ever walk or life, every nation, ever life circumstance representing diverse experiences with love being the common factor.  A world game-changer develops their talents and skills and pursues opportunities to increase their own influence for the greater good. Vulnerability is massive in our world as humans and individuals. I'm not so sure that collectively we give it the respect that it deserves in terms of the part that it plays in our lives with regard to progress. Being prepared to be vulnerable and putting it out there first and taking control of the situation takes the power away from people who would want to exploit your vulnerability against you. BEST MOMENTS‘World Game-Changers intentionally work to improve their end circumstances and the people with who they are associated.' ‘In a world without love what have we got? Simply, an existence. A world without love is, for me, not really a world at all.'‘We prefer to wear a mask of control and self-protection because we don't want people to get close to us and judge us. Be prepared to look at yourself in the mirror.'

How Storytelling Helps Us Overcome Fear (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Raksha Daryanani

Speaking From Our Hearts

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 30, 2023 28:32


On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Raksha Daryanani to continue their conversation about how storytelling can help us overcome fear. KEY TAKEAWAYS I grew up being told I was an extrovert but, as I grew older, I realized that's not true because when I'm around a lot of people all the time I get exhausted. I like spending time with people but not for extended periods, I need time for decompressing and time alone. Introverts and extroverts can both be great public speakers, it all comes down to what energizes you and how much time you need to decompress. We don't decompress, rest, take time for ourselves enough, and that's becoming increasingly important in the digital age that we live in because more of us are working from home and you can go straight from work to going on social media on the same computer/device, or you can watch TV for hours. The brain is not getting rest. Some communities are more open, engaging, supportive when you are your true self, but others shy away from that and are more closed or reserved and expressions of vulnerability or opening up is frowned upon or met with very little reciprocation. It's something I've noticed moving around in my life. It's good to assess what a culture is like and whether you can fit in and be yourself, if not are you OK with that? It can be quite hard to mask who you are every day. The onus is on both the speaker and the listener to connect to the message. The speaker shouldn't communicate in a way that can be misinterpreted. And, preconceived notions of the listener can block us and create judgement, bias, and an unwelcoming atmosphere for someone trying to convey a message. BEST MOMENTS‘I would like to inject more fun, I often thing I'm a bit serious in my writing, I think starting off on a lighten note engages the reader in your story. It's a real art to make someone laugh with your writing'. ‘If we someone else opening up we soften. These moments where we are our true, whole selves and not putting up any façade are precious and relatable'. ‘There's no way you can guarantee that a person wrote something in a certain tone if you're just reading written text'. ‘When you hear someone tell you something remember there's another side to it if there's someone else involved. Don't make up your mind too fast'.

The Life And Times Of A Recycled Teenager – Paul D. Lowe & Dr Keith Amoss

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Keith Amoss to talk about mentally turning the clock back, and finding childlike curiosity, energy and everything that comes with being a young person; whilst amalgamating it with the wisdom of a senior. KEY TAKEAWAYS Old tyres with no tread left get mashed up and turned into material for children's playparks. This is a fabulous concept; taking something that's good and bad (like our childhood experiences), taking the good bits and see how you can use them now as an adult, what have you learned? A while back I met some old school friends after many years, sharing jokes and stories on Facebook. We decided to meet up in Canada. One guy used to be the cool guy who everyone looked up to and idolised, another was into motorcycling and was a bit of greaser, and I was a bit middle-of-the-road listening to David Bowie and being abstract. When we got together we didn't stop talking and were at ease in each other's company and we managed to think of a few incidences from our school days and our perspectives were different, especially about each other. Perhaps we should ask people we've known over the years “what did you think/make of me?”, but that's a very difficult question to ask people. Relatively speaking, the type of person that you were as a younger person/teenager, whether that's generous, kind, giving, supportive, friendly, it's still there throughout your life. Where you see examples of that is when you see people with genuinely childlike qualities in the way they act as an adult. Humour is classic case. You can recycle yourself, but you need to know that things that you need to drop from your teenage years, the things that cause you pain, the things that you need to overcome, the self-work you need to do, and take the good bits. How do we prevent ourselves from wallowing in the past? There is a risk that you look back and see them as the good old days when you were confident and you had everything going for you, you were happy and had so much to offer. It's both quite complicated but also extremely simple to live in the moment. You also need to be spending about 20% of your time living in the future though, because you need to pay the bills, plan and book trips, etc. However, you're doing all that stuff today. BEST MOMENTS‘We're all tarins going through other peoples' stations; we go through, we stop for a while, they see a little bit of us, and then we move on'. ‘It's not what you say, it's what you make someone feel that counts'. ‘The concept of the recycled teenager in essence is about recalling the past and having the memory, but without having particularly the negative emotion that was associated with things that went on'. ‘We make assumptions that people, when they're older, have got it, they understand it, they know what's going on, they don't get nervous, they've got their act together. Talking to  my father who's in his 80s you realise that even though you've been through a lot of life you still don't understand how things work, you're still uncertain, you can still have all those emotions of nervousness, uncertainty and fear'.

I Hated School But So Grateful For It Now, As The Recycled Teenager - Paul D. Lowe & Richard Gerver

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Richard Gerver to talk about their relationships with school & education, and how that's changed over the years. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I look back to my education, and when people remind me of my first career as a teacher and  headteacher, when I left school at 18 I never wanted to go back into school ever again in my entire life, ever. I felt like a misfit. Arguably I was very privileged, my parents and my grandparents sold their homes and sacrificed everything to send me to a private school because it was their dream to provide me with the very best education they could. This added a considerable amount of pressure on me, especially as an older teenager, because I knew what they'd sacrificed, so how could I tell them that I hated it? When I chose to become a teacher later – for the love of a young woman – in my very early 20s, that was when I first began to process my own experience more objectively. Rather than taking my reflex judgement of hating it in the moment and it made me a worse person for whatever reason, I was able to start to understand and unpick the learning I'd taken from that experience without even knowing it and reflected on, despite everything I felt at the time, how lucky I was to have been in that environment. One of the things that we should become more and more aware of as we go through life, which I think is really pertinent in the divided and angry world we live in right now where people's beliefs are shaped by their own lived experience and context, the wiser among us realize that actually to grow, evolve, learn, develop, find peace with the world, your world and the world around you, you have to be open minded enough to realize and respect that you need to be active in shaping, challenging and developing your beliefs. It's only by broadening your own horizons, contexts and experiences that your beliefs become increasingly rounded. So many conflicts, from the smallest to the most horrific, people become increasingly deaf to other opinions, values, other people's experiences and almost do so just to protect their own viewpoint. Partly that's been amplified by the fact we're now living in a digital world where social media through algorithm and the way we build walls around our own content means that we tend to live in increasingly siloed environments. We're living in a world of what I call curated ignorance and I think it creates a dangerous environment, especially for our younger folk, where they can't see why they would ever look outside of their own belief system because of the confirmation biases that are constantly circulating and fired at them. Then what happens is when they have a like-minded cabal around them, it's very easy for sophisticated manipulators in that cabal to say: “Anybody who disagrees with you is bad, evil, has your worst interests at heart. I think that's happened throughout history, but it's more pronounced and more dangerous now because of the digital space which preoccupies so much of our lives. BEST MOMENTS‘As a child, I was immensely creative. I was a writer, an actor, and artist; I went to an all-boys school that was highly academic, highly sports focused – particularly rugby'. ‘There's no such thing as a bad experience if you process it in the right way, and learn from it'. ‘Beliefs can only ever be shaped by your lived experience'. ‘We talk a lot about the wisdom of elders; every time an old person dies a library burns down'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Wayne Donnelly for a third and final episode of this mini-series to talk about how powerful the mind is, and how you can use it to change your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS We're brought up in a certain paradigms, if I was born anywhere other than Australia I'd have different realities. The life we're living now we think it's reality, the perceptions and belief systems we have, but at some times in life we're hit with something which makes us question our current reality. We then shift into a different reality, we wake up and go into a different dream as we go through different things in life. If we're fortunate we have things that wake us up so we can advance or progress our life. I commuted hours each way during the week and when I had my kids I wouldn't see them unless it was the middle of the night and they were having their feed or at the weekends. Is that life? Is that how life's supposed to be? To go to work and pay the bills? When you question it you come into a new reality where I started my own business as an accountant. Different things have occurred since then that have seen my become a hypnotherapist, a coach, and someone who changes lives because of the things I been through, experienced and learned. Awareness precedes a change in behaviour, but is that awareness internal or external? You might wake up one morning and ask: “Is this all there is?” and then you start looking for the answers and you can use your conscious mind to make changes in your unconscious, because you're deliberately doing it from awareness and experiences. Or, you could have something that changes your life that redirects you and you can grow and facilitate changes consciously. Some people would say that we are an expression of Source/Universe/God experiencing this reality so that the intangible can have a tangible experience. Is everything one and we're part of an incredibly limitless One? We're everything in our own body and yet we're all one. It's the type of question that could open an awareness and awakening to there is more than just this body; if I lose a finger or a leg I'm still Wayne, but who is Wayne?  BEST MOMENTS‘The life we live is like a dream, and then we wake up and change and go to a different dream'. ‘The difference between a rut and a grave is the depth'. ‘We're not a drop in the ocean, we're the ocean in a drop'. ‘By tapping into our own consciousness or the universal consciousness we can create the reality that we'd like to have'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Kristin Johnson to continue their conversation about the TV series Poldark and its storylines, specifically in this episode: Trust in romantic relationships. This conversation may contain spoilers. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's romantic in the sense that there's this rugged individualism yet there's a big community with a big sense of duty and responsibility and self-sacrifice that is very romantic and heroic. But it's also about the beauty, the nature, the longing of the spirit and a longing for refinement. As with certain aspects of today, it boils over into class envy with the haves, and have-nots. Having never experienced this personally, psychologists say that you can heal from trust being broken by an affair but it takes a long time and some people maybe never really forget or are able to forgive at all, but it does happen. Elizabeth loves Francis, Ross' cousin, but at the same time it's not what she feels for Ross and never can be because it's a different kind of love. She builds a home and a family with Francis and when he dies it's like something snaps within Ross, which isn't grief over Francis – although he is sad – it's more like his chance is here and he loses his head and totally forgets Demelza who knows where he's going. Even the bluntest of us can really have a hard time expressing what's going on. You have to trust yourself and that you're doing the right things at the right time for the right reasons, even if they might not make sense and even if things are hard. Especially you have to trust that your cause is just. Ross knows that what he's doing against the French is the right thing, he's fighting for his country and its interests like he always has. BEST MOMENTS‘Ross Poldark is a very romantic hero because he's taking up such a big cause for his community'. ‘Demelza has a big heart and Elizabeth understands that, I think Demelza comes to like and respect Elizabeth but at the same time she's always going to wonder “am I first in Ross' mind”, and that betrayal stings because Elizabeth is the love of Ross' life and she came first'. ‘Men crave sex and women crave love (I think that's an over-generalization, but there is some truth it that)'. ‘Poldark is more than just a wonderful period drama with wonderful costumes… it's about the human heart in conflict with itself, that's why it's lasting'.

How Storytelling Helps Us Overcome Fear, Including AI - Paul D. Lowe & Raksha Daryanani

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest a freelance creative story-teller, Raksha Daryanani, to talk about how storytelling can help us to overcome fear, specifically the growing fear of AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS At university I was told that I had a flair for writing, so I started experimenting and went from writing admissions essays to CVs to recommendation letters, basic communications that anyone would need help with. Then, when the pandemic struck, I started writing on LinkedIn, sharing stories of working in HR about miscommunication, biases, the moments I didn't feel adept at what I was doing, as well as personal stories of how I overcame challenges as a professional, as a human being, as a person of colour. It was great to see the traction of my personal stories where I'd learned something and could share it with someone else who may have a shared experience or learned something from it. Most behaviour stems from unresolved traumas, unhealed moments in our lives which we then project on to other people. But, the more we are aware, the more we grow, the more we understand why something happened – even if it was unfair, because a lot of things that happen to us are unfair – id that really an excuse to ill-treat or label others? Is it really an excuse to say “you're not one of us”? It's a delicate balance between emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence and basic common sense. If I do to you what you do to me, how am I any different? The first generation that migrates doesn't have the resources, usually, and the awareness to work on unresolved traumas because they're too busy making a living and surviving. The second generation is usually the one that has a bit more time and awareness and the safety net to come out of survival mode to think about their personal development, fulfilment and the likes. This lines up with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Before you have the moment where you awaken or you have a change of mind, there is a phase where you feel distraught and unable to help yourself, much like a victim. I've been there and it really shaped how I saw things. I felt helpless and that the world was a really bad place, that my good intentions were never being met, so it was a me vs the world thought process. In my early 20s, the realization hit that I don't have to be a victim of my circumstances and I don't have to suffer and tell myself I'm losing out and that things happen to, not for me. Changing that narrative helped me to do things and say I tried rather than I'll fail no matter whether I try or not. BEST MOMENTS‘We all have something we can't help, what happened to us is not an excuse to not work on our traumas'. ‘We are all good on the inside, that's what's going to get you further'. ‘The worst things can happen to us because we're not aware of the boundaries we can have, the boundaries we can set, the way we can speak up, and make choices that empower us'. ‘Either you are Superman or you are the victim, but you chose that narrative in your mind'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest and sometime co-host Kristin Johnson to talk about quite a provocative title, but effectively boils down to the book and, more specifically, the TV series ‘Poldark' - it may contain spoilers. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you look at the principles of drama, going back to Shakespeare, of conflict and the human heart in conflict with itself and the tragic flaw/hero from Greek drama, they've stood the test of time. The chief antagonist of the series is a tragic character, but is more complex than a cardboard cutout, moustache-twirling villain – those are boring, people aren't really like that, the worst people in history have reasons for what they do. Most people are complex. There's a dilemma for me, and it's being torn between two lovers. Ross, as much as he loved Demelza, never let go of Elizabeth. Moral dilemma might not be the right term for loving two people. Is it possible for us to love two people? Is it morally right? People have needs and wants and you may or may not act on them, what the series explores is what happens when you do. It's realistic in the terms of the complications the love triangle between Ross, Demelza and Elizabeth presents for various characters and how they react to something like this. Can you love two people? Absolutely. Should you? That's the question, and the series doesn't necessarily answers that questions decisively. Elizabeth befriends the woman that's a romantic rival, Demelza, because despite their differences in social class those two women connect on a deep level. I think that, if Ross wasn't in the picture, they would be good friends. Ross is a guy that really thinks he can do it all, he's really old school in that he wants to manage everything himself. But he learns to depend on Demelza, and trust her to manage his affairs. He puts her in a higher status and esteem as a community leader than she would have been before. Throughout the series she becomes that community leader. That shows a trust, not just in terms of the romantic sense, but the trust that you have to rely on people when life has dealt you a lot of blows. BEST MOMENTS ‘240 years on from the American War of Independence here we are, a British and American chatting like equals'. ‘If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with'. ‘The game of life is a simple one, but we human players are complex'. ‘We all love the romantic, attraction, sizzle, chemistry, bodice-ripper romance, but the best relationships really have that foundation of friendship, respect and commonality'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Wayne Donnelly for a second episode of this mini-series to talk about how powerful the mind is, and how you can use it to change your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS The old saying is: Whatever we believe to be true is true for us. But when you ask a man who he is, he normally comes back with his job title. Pulling off that layer, I'm a husband. Pull off that layer, I'm a father. Pull off that layer, I'm a sibling. They're parts that you play in your life, but they're not who you are. Who are you really and why are you here? It all comes back to the image that's inside and the beliefs that they hold of themselves. While they believe that to be true it will stay the same and will only change when their beliefs change. We can access that unconscious/subconscious/other-than-conscious mind so that we can break that pathway and remake it into what it is that that person wants to achieve, whether that's income, health, relationships, scholarly achievements, whatever. “Well-formed outcomes” are where I work with people to create a picture or movie of their desired outcome and load it with symbols and emotions which will magnetise the unconscious mind to take you there. You use the power of the unconscious mind and the steering and direction of the conscious mind. Some people's subconscious will pop out without them thinking, we call it a Freudian Slip, and they're sending you a message of what they think about themselves. At a surfing beach the other day I was invited over by some younger blokes and the first thing that came out of my mouth, before I could even think or stop it was: “My glory days are over”. How's that for preventing me from having one of the best surfs of my life. Listen to what people say after “I am…”, they may say things in jest, but there's a lot of truth in jest. I make sure I use different words when I get out surfing these days. BEST MOMENTS ‘You cannot outperform your beliefs about yourself. If you think you're royalty you will perform exactly to what that belief is you have about royalty.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest Wayne Donnelly to talk about how powerful the mind is and how you can use it to change your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS My work is in behavioural change, and I use tools like hypnosis and neural linguistic programming. When clients come to me with an issue, I help them to change the way they think so that they approach life differently so that when they do change their minds, they can change their lives and what's happening in their world. People come along for many different reasons; they might go on the coaching journey with me, or they might just come for a couple of sessions of hypnotherapy and change. It could be that they're a smoker wanting to quit, and certainly when they've changed their mind, their identity, and their belief about themselves, they can go from being a smoker to someone who pursues health. The same with weight loss and many other things besides PTSD, stress and anxiety, and phobias (flying, snakes, spiders). In the entrepreneurial/business space there's a saying that the business is a reflection of the owner – if the business isn't doing well, something needs to be adjusted in the mindset of the owner. When we work on that we can lift their belief in themselves and we can change what they're doing with the business. We can get caught up in thinking that reality is what we see around us and that our circumstances are dictating to us what we think and what believe is real. If we flip that around – and for a lot of people this will be challenging – regardless of what the circumstances are in our life, we can believe that things are favourable: Whatever we believe to be true is true for us. BEST MOMENTS ‘Their altitude is determined by their attitude: If they come in with a certain approach, they get a certain result. It all comes down to self-image and self-worth'. ‘When the traumas from your past no longer have any control over you then you're free to create the ideal version of yourself'. ‘Drinking to overcome your problems only creates more problems'. ‘There's an old saying: “We get more of what we focus on”. Focus on the future of what you're creating, not: What happened in the past? Why did it happen? Why did we respond to those certain events in the past?'

Paul engages in a conversation with Daniel Gasser and Kristen Johnson about the possibilities and implications of artificial intelligence (AI). They discuss the role of AI in mental health, including the use of AI chatbots like PI. They explore the idea of AI as a tool for therapy and coaching, acknowledging that while AI can provide support, it cannot replace the human connection and intuition that comes with working with a real person. The conversation also touches on the potential of AI in music and the importance of vulnerability in human experiences.  KEY TAKEAWAYS AI can be a powerful tool in various fields, including mental health and coaching. It can provide support and assistance, but it is not a replacement for human interaction and emotional intelligence. The fear of AI taking over jobs and replacing humans is not entirely justified. While AI is evolving and becoming more advanced, there are still limitations to what it can do. Human skills, such as vulnerability and intuition, cannot be replicated by AI. Vulnerability is a strength and a powerful tool for connection. Being open and authentic allows for deeper connections and understanding between individuals. AI cannot replicate the emotional depth and connection that comes from human vulnerability. Music is a universal language that resonates with humans on an emotional level. While AI can assist in composing music, it lacks the imperfections and human touch that make music truly powerful and moving. Embracing AI means exploring its possibilities and using it as a tool to enhance our lives. It is important to experiment and see how AI can be beneficial, but also to be discerning and recognize its limitations. Ultimately, humans have the ability to shape and control the use of AI. BEST MOMENTS "If we use it right, it's an amazing tool that never has been here before." - Daniel Gasser "Being vulnerable is one of our greatest powers and it's one of our greatest love-creating energy we have." - Daniel Gasser "There is this whole thing, particularly within the more masculine energy, so easy to coin the phrase, big boys don't cry, what have you. But what a gift to be vulnerable and to actually go out there to the outside world and say, this is it." - Paul D. Lowe "But the real interesting part of it in science fiction, Daniel, isn't that the case that it's more interesting when the AI is trying to learn something that is outside of its comfort zone, like understanding emotions?" - Kristen Johnson "So play around with AI. Do it. Use it. And you will see where it leads you. And you will see if it helps you or not. If it doesn't help you, kick it in the bin." - Daniel Gasser VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Paul's Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Emerging-Forest-Pain-Purpose-Mastering/dp/1719373272 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA): https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Game-Life-Paul-Lowe/dp/1782227679 Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon) World Game-Changers Group ABOUT THE GUESTSKristin Johnson is a prize-winning/ prize-finalist writer, blogger, ghost-writing/ creative writing consultant, screenwriter, and editor.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Kristin Johnson are joined by Daniel Gasser to talk about how we, as humans, can embrace AI and the unknowns that come with it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Most of us don't deal well with the unknown, which is a shame because our brains and our whole being is built for the unknown. As soon as we come out of our mothers it's unknown, the whole of life is unknown and, the older I get  the more I ask myself: Is it really human nature to fear the unknown or are we just trained by the system and ‘value givers' that we should fear the unknown? We're born curious otherwise we wouldn't learn to walk or speak, anything. My guess is that we're not afraid of it, we're told to be afraid of it. Some people preach that every new technology is dangerous. When steam trains were developed, seriously intelligent people said that if you travel faster than 100mph your face will be ripped off your skull. They were taken seriously and people would say they'd never take a train, it's the same with people fearing ChatGPT will take over their jobs. Trains did take over some jobs, but they created a whole lot of new jobs and industries too. I used ChatGPT and realised that this thing is cool! The fear went, and the more I interact with AI, the more I use tools built with AI, the more I also make money with it – yes,, I make money with it, I'm a businessman as well as a coach. The more I dive into it the more I see what it is today and what it could look like tomorrow. But, I'm still way more divine and creative as a human being than this little machine with a stack of data interpretation is ever going to be. Use it or don't, but fear never brings anything good. When we're in a fearful state, we shut down our creativity, spirituality, and our love, we reduce ourselves to an animal, to fight or flight. Knowing that, I can ask myself what I have to do in my mind and emotionally to overcome fear and become emotionally intelligent again? For the emotional part; calm down, meditate, get out of the way in your mind and you'll find the fear fades away slowly but surely and you can think and be creative and function again. The better your emotions become, you become emotionally and otherwise intelligent again. BEST MOMENTS‘We're all assuming that it's going to be very bad, that AI is going to eat us alive, take our jobs, take over our lives, do everything. Why are we always assuming the worst?' ‘Need to change our mindset to maybe plan for the worst but expect the best'. ‘I was frightened to death when AI came out, but then I remembered that fear is not a good advisor and the best remedy for fear is taking action'. ‘Our planet is in such a bad state because, collectively, we're negative'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined once more by Kristin Johnson and Marc ‘Spanky' Reid to further discuss a BETTR life this time through the lens of prosperity. KEY TAKEAWAYS At my current age, my view on prosperity is certainly different to what it was as a teenager and a young dad. Today, the one word that jumps out at me now to do with prosperity is ‘time'. Depending on where you are in the world, we have a system in place that unfortunately we have to exchange time for money to provide for our families and put food on the table. If we had an opportunity to buy back some of that time back by increasing our income, would we take it? 97% of people live pay check to paycheck and are not in a position where they can offer whatever means they are able to use to gain wealth and get their finances in order to get back their time. If a larger percentage of the population had the opportunity to leverage the little extra time that they have to purchase back some prosperity time in the future, I'd ask would they take advantage of that opportunity. Can you physically do things like working out and taking care of yourself to have a better life? Is there mental health that you could seek out to help you? Mental health is a big thing these days. All of these things are available on the Bettr platform to help anyone and everyone that wants to be part of that community because they don't require a licence. We have people who have made seven figures for the first time in their lives after just 12 months of production as well as people making six figures a month. This is all from a free platform which is 100% referral. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you have ‘time freedom' most likely your finances are in place, you're not worried about income coming in, maybe you have money working and making more money on the side – that's prosperity.' ‘Being able to give of your time for someone that's in need – that's prosperity.' ‘Money is talked about almost more than anything else in the Bible – money and love – and I think it's because we sometimes think money will solve all problems.' ‘Connect with people who are moving in the same direction that you want to move in, do what they do and you'll get what they've got.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined once more by Kristin Johnson and Marc ‘Spanky' Reid to further discuss the ‘what' and the ‘how' of BETTR networks, and how they can help people achieve their goals for a better world and a better life. KEY TAKEAWAYS During Covid the government had a choice: Either put restrictions in place and have tens of millions of people filing for unemployment overnight – what would that have done to the economy and our country? – or create employee retention credit to reward businesses for digging in their pockets to keep their employees. So, in the beginning they had ERC and PPP loans and you could only apply for one as a business owner, and just about everybody went PPP. In 2021 the law was changed in ERC to allow them to apply for both as long as the PPP was forgiven. We don't charge people to find out f they can claim that money back, but we had a client recently who was told he couldn't apply for it and we got him $13.5million through ERC. You have the option to file to see if your eligible, or let the government have those funds. You feel like you're the hero of your community, you give back to your community $25-100million through this programme, no matter where you go, you're going to be looked at as a hero because you've drastically impacted those lives, your employees and businesses. It's a beautiful thing to be able to offer that service to people. What happens when you have a family that's paying $1000 and you can save them 40%? They have an extra $400 a month that they can allocate towards other things for that family. It's a big deal what Clearwater is doing. BEST MOMENTS ‘We can start to build you a legacy for your family, for employee's families, and we can show you what that looks like financially.'‘About 78% of people in the US are living pay cheque to pay cheque, 85% of them don't like the job they currently have. If you can help a family open up $400-500 it relieves so much stress.'‘I have a fear of needles, it's definitely easier for me to spend 5-10 minutes with Clearwater to check my coverage and see if they can get me better coverage than it is to go and get my blood drawn!'

Paul explores the question of what is missing from having a better life. Joined by executive director Kristen Johnson and guest Marc 'Spanky' Reed, they delve into the concept of a "Bettr" life and how it can be achieved. Marc shares his experiences with a platform called Bettr, which aims to make a positive impact on communities and individuals by providing opportunities for income and personal growth. The conversation touches on the importance of legacy, storytelling, and the power of imagination in creating a better world. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their inner childlike curiosity, and take action to make a difference in their own lives and communities. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of a "Bettr " life involves more than just financial success. It encompasses better relationships, health, wellness, and experiences. The legacy we leave behind is an important aspect of a better life. It involves making a positive impact on others, especially those who are less fortunate, and contributing to our communities. Imagination and storytelling play a significant role in creating a better life. They have the power to inspire, transform, and bring hope to individuals and communities. Taking action and being intentional about pursuing a better life is crucial. It requires tapping into our childlike curiosity, embracing vulnerability, and having the courage to go after our dreams. The power of music and song should not be underestimated. It has the ability to connect people, engage the brain, touch the heart, and bring about positive change.

Blessed Beyond Belief: All Things Being Equal – Paul D. Lowe and Kristin Johnson & Maxine Clark

Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Maxine Clark to talk about equality. KEY TAKEAWAYS Equality is something that we're born with, it's our birthright, but depending on the circumstances it doesn't always show up. But it is something that is ingrained in the human condition, and I passionately believe in it. When I was a child my mother was a civil rights activist who had worked during WWII for Eleanor Roosevelt as a secretary who traveled with her and my Mum learned a lot from her, When she moved back to Miami after Franklin died, she married my Father and she and several of her friends started a school for children with Down's Syndrome to stop them being put in asylums. That was my introduction to the idea that we all have something to contribute and a reason for being on this planet. Growing up when I did in the 50s and 60s it was much more equitable, there was a much larger middle class, you had people in your neighbourhood who were doctors, lawyers, policemen, truck drivers, my father was an electrician. You didn't know what people made, you didn't know their politics, you just lived in a neighbourhood with people, humans, friends, dogs and cats, and all the other things that go along with being a child in those days. I feel like we're all craving that connection, that needing to be seen as a person not as a skin colour, a gender, as tall or short, not as 17 or 75 years old, but as a human being that has something to contribute. That's how my family lived, I didn't know there were differences in people just because they looked different than me – everybody looked different than me. I have a million questions when I meet someone: Where did you come from? How long have you lived here? How many times have you moved? In asking questions you find common ground and by listening and not talking yourself you find out so much about life and you didn't have to do it yourself, you can live through someone else's experiences. That's how I see it: I'm a problem solver, like both my Mum and Dad, if something's broken and I know there's a solution somewhere – or I don't know yet and I want to see if somebody else is fixing it properly – I'll go and do that, or I'll bring people together to do it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Equality is giving everyone a chance no matter where they start from, where they come from, it's the American Dream and a dream throughout the world.'‘We all want to be safe, we all want to have friends, we all want to live in a nice home in a nice street where there's good schools, shopping and transportation.'‘We have so much potential in each of us.'‘Our job is to make sure that we see everybody as an individual.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and first time guest, Ken Cella, to talk about values, more specifically, a fascinating conversation about the value of values. KEY TAKEAWAYS What's unique about the contribution that we seek to make in the lives of our clients is it's really more of a relationship. One of partnering together to have an impact, to help people achieve the goals that are most important to them, and that comes along with a lot of deep discovery, understanding people and what's important to them. There are common themes: People are very focused on their family, their health, having a life that helps them to achieve their purpose and to live out that purpose, and having the financial resources to make the first 3 things happen. I strive to meet people where they're at, and try understand their perspective, try to be open and curious and committed to learning always. I'm always working to be a better listener to understand where people are coming from. It's a continuous learning journey and not a place I've arrived yet. When you do listen deeply, when you do have compassion for others, and you have flexibility in your belief system that allows you to anchor to what's most important but to be open to new perspectives, that serves people well, it's certainly served me well. BEST MOMENTS ‘Oftentimes, when we talk to someone about their future, it's not something they've spent a lot of time discussing with anyone ever, so there's quite a journey there.'‘It's a privilege to serve.' ‘I try to start every day with a sense of gratitude for all the things that are in my life that are intentionally there and that I'm blessed to have in my life. Those are the things that drive me to then go out and do the kinds of things that I feel called to do.' ‘Listening is really about respect for the other person and having a sense of appreciation for really wanting to understand them, because it's just not human nature to want to do that. It's a lot easier to share what's on your mind than it is to truly understand someone else.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson, Dr Keith Amoss, and Paul Clark to talk about the enigmatic topic of hope. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you've got hope then you don't have fear, and if you lose hope then fear immediately comes in and fills that void. I'm a career coach so I work with a lot of people who have just lost their jobs. They may well be very good at their profession, but when they arrive on my doorstep they are hopeless. One of the big problems with that is they associate hopelessness with uselessness. It's really important to re-instill the idea that it's not all finished, you're just in a bad spot. Let's be hopeful, because many other people have managed in the past, there's no reason why you can't. Hope has always got that outcome that, potentially, you're wishing for the best, but it just might not happen. Depending on the degree of your faith – and there is a difference – faith would say (if it's strong enough) everything will be OK. Hope is powerful. Victor Frankel, a psychologist in the Auschwitz concentration camp wrote Man's Search For Meaning, and what he did was observed the prisoners, those that gave up perished and those that had something to live for and a hope that they would be released back into the outside world and do what it was that they wanted to really do again. That kept them alive. It's incredibly powerful, not wishy-washy at all. I train a girl with severe mental health issues and she loves coming to the gym and I can see it in her; she hopes to do an event next year, she hopes to raise money for charity, she's hoping she can do these things to push past her mental health barrier. BEST MOMENTS‘When you say “hope” you assume it's a down and out feeling – where you need to find hope – but, if you hone in on hope it's a good thing'. ‘It does take some action, hope is not just sitting there and waiting'. ‘On British TV shows hope isn't the main factor in the characters' journeys, they're the underdog and remain the underdog and we laugh at that. On US TV shows 9/10 the underdog wins, they thrive off hope. This doesn't happen for British people'. ‘I was going to say the only expert on hop is Bob, but that would be showing my age!'

Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Jim Maher to talk about perceptions of wealth and whether real wealth is material or personal. KEY TAKEAWAYS You really get to a lot of people's core values when you understand how they perceive wealth. Is their driving factor accumulation or is it about something more like giving back? In our organisation and in my family it's the exact same core values: Help others, become more, share success. Delayed gratification is such an important behavioural characteristic for people to grow in life. It goes beyond accumulating wealth. The things where people (especially children) get in trouble is credit. Our society is very predatory, when they sign you up for credit cards it's about instant gratification rather than physically handing over something that you've earned. We're afraid to teach values in the classroom and engage in those types of conversations. So, the very organisations that were the fabric of what taught children and families values and held them to a standard as to how they lived and what they did in their communities and how they were viewed in those religious organisations, especially after Covid, it's shocking what has happened demographically. There were good things that came from Covid. The healthy cost to society as a whole, despite the millions of people that died around the world, the one thing that in every part of the world was that family became stronger. That was something that we'd lost for a long time and I think that interconnection there was substantially rebuilt. BEST MOMENTS‘The very best thing you can do for the world is to make the most of yourself'. ‘Wealth is not just about the dollar, it's about how we use those resources and what those dollars do'. ‘Wealth is such a variety of things, but wealth is also the totality of life. It's making a difference, making a contribution'. ‘There's value in terms of wealth and there are values in terms of keeping your word, punctuality, etc. There is also trust, which is both a financial term and the glue that makes our society go'.

Don't Be An Expert, Be Inclusive! – Paul D. Lowe And Kristin Johnson & Tim Eby

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Tim Eby to talk about inclusion and how to approach the subject with an open heart. KEY TAKEAWAYS At times inclusivity is overthought. For me, at least, it really comes down to the idea of belonging. It's about the idea that if you're recognised, rewarded and respected in whatever aspect of your role either in your work life or your personal life. Belonging and feeling welcome is key to this. I come to my role as executive director of the Special Education Foundation with a passion for helping kids and people with disabilities in many ways because of my own personal experience: I have 3 daughters, the oldest is neurotypical and a special education teacher, the two younger ones are on the autism spectrum. Having raised them I have a little understanding about the world of neurodiversity. But the SEF helps children with all disabilities and our goal is to create the independence for a student to be able to succeed inside and outside of school. If you are around people that have challenges (mental, physical or financial) you start to understand that they are very bright, they may just express it differently. For example, one of the strengths of people with dyslexia is that they can see the big picture and many actors – and even Einstein – was dyslexic. Many people that have ADHD or autism are very successful because they've been given the resources to be able to do that and had an environment that made them feel safe, not everybody has that especially now with all the economic challenges. Life can change in a heartbeat and you never know what impact you're going to have, what that one act of kindness is going to do. At the very least it can prove to someone that they're not alone and give them the strength to fight another day because they know they've got someone on their team.  BEST MOMENTS‘There's such a power in believing the idea that we all deserve to belong in our world and that people accept you for who you are no matter who you are'. ‘We all want to feel seen, heard, understood, safe, supported, and also, we want to grow. Inclusiveness provides a space for us to grow'. ‘Parenting is a tremendous commitment anyway, but to help these children succeed even as they enter adulthood is hugely important and empowering, not just for the kids but for the parents as well'. ‘Inclusivity helps everyone better understand the world that they're in and to recognise and reward the difference that we all have'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Aimee Mosco, Kristin Johnson and Martin Leifeld to talk about the topic of leadership in action, especially with regard to the work they all do in the World Game-Changers organisation as well as in their personal lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every human being is a leader, you can't help but lead, even if you lead people in the wrong direction. We all have the gift of influence and by exercising our personalities and talents, whether we're aware of it or not, provides leadership, direction, or presents choices to people. What do we do with it? There are certainly lots of people leading the world in wrong, mixed or confusing directions today and there's never been more of a need for extraordinary leaders that lead virtuously as servant leaders. Servant leadership puts the primary on developing people and accomplishing goals together as opposed to old school, autocratic leadership, leading with an iron fist, it's a different model that empowers people to lead as you serve an organisation or a mission and so on. We are all leaders in our own way. We are leaders within our families, places of work, communities, local sports team, church, what have you. There are all kinds of leadership, not just being elected to office or who raises enough money, sometimes the person with the most influence is not the person with the biggest title or loudest voice, sometimes they're someone you wouldn't expect. They are the people that people look to and trust. When people trust someone that's everything. Real leadership is about trusting yourself, which is a very hard thing to do. Leadership is so important because we thrive when we're in a structured environment. That's not to say that we need to map out every single detail before we step forward because we're creative beings. But, we feel more comfortable with some sort of structure or container within which to operate. And there's a different between that autocratic structure where you can't think for yourself and challenging the status quo is not welcome, we talking about a space for people to grow because real leaders aren't threatened when people grow.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Leadership starts with a commitment to accept that you're a leader or that you can influence the world for the better and then to develop yourself so that you can have virtuous or great impact.'‘There are degrees of leadership; responsible and mindless and all of us are really looking to develop ourselves. To become a responsible leader, it requires that you expand your level of awareness.'‘To trust ourselves and more importantly to trust other people is a huge leap, it's one of the most simple and complex things that we'll ever do.'‘Great leaders want their people to grow because that's good for everyone. You can always tell someone is really insecure in their power because they are threatened by the slightest dissention.'

Our Relationship With Relationships - Paul D. Lowe and Rebecca Wheele & Bob Conlin

Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca are joined by returning guest, Bob Conlin about relationships in both a broad and intimate sense. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are in relationship with everything and everyone, there's a give and take to everything be that nature, other people, stories, impact, whatever. The opportunity to really explore and understand is: What is my impact to those relationships? How am I impacting those that I love, those that I lead, my environment so that it supports an experience of life that I want? Fundamentally all of the expression of our experience of life is filtered through understanding the relationship that you have with yourself. The relationship wit ourself is the genesis for our ability to experience Source, God, Spirit, Universe, whatever you want to call it, and our relationship to self is always how we're going to experience others, life and everything else. There's a relationship to self, source and others and those 3 give us a compass to explore the opportunities that we have in our lives. Our relationships are some of the strongest, most reflective mirrors we have, especially our romantic relationships. They reflect back to us who we're being, what we're doing, where your healing is, what we're able to celebrate and acknowledge. They're also invitations to explore what's next in our journey whether that's a healing, coaching or spiritual journey. It's all about the balancing of masculine and feminine energies when they get out of balance I feel like we get in trouble. I see this a lot, being a father, with my 3-year-old son, he requires a lot of feminine nurturing and presence right now that I don't always have access to. I'll want and expect him to act in a specific way and he doesn't and what he mirrors back to me is that I'm getting frustrated. Why am I getting frustrated? There's something in my I can't be with, what is that? I can trace it right down to this wound I have from my childhood and all of that is impacting my experience and relationship with my son. BEST MOMENTS ‘Our relationships are the way in which we get to experience life.' ‘Everything outside of me is an expression of what is inside of me.' ‘Relationships are some of the messiest things that we get to experience in life.' ‘We get conditioned or trained to judge our emotions or internal states as good or bad, what that does is starts to rob us of the full expression of being a human being. You will get angry and upset, making that bad or wrong makes a dynamic inside of us that doesn't serve us. You can be angry or sad, but you don't have to act on it. We need the highs and low of life to experience all of it.'

Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca are joined by Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen and Dave Skeels to ask a seemingly simple but surprisingly difficult question: why Mother Earth needs us to plant trees? KEY TAKEAWAYS Most would agree that we're seeing symptoms of climate change, like heating around the globe, more heavy rains, disasters with many people suffering. For a long time we've been too efficient with machinery cutting down trees and it's now time to give back and help Mother Earth. If you can open up a road for others to follow, like having a place to plant trees, when it's made possible at municipalities, churches, schools, kindergartens, governments, private landowners places then other people can find sponsors of trees. It's about what we can do when we do it together, we have to come together and help each other as much as possible. As human beings we have a desire for inclusivity, we have a need to be with other human beings. If we find a common goal or purpose to look after the planet that's got to be a good place to be because, not only are you doing a good thing, you're also with other people doing a good thing. Mother Earth is already crying and asking for help. What would you do if you saw a baby crying? The calling is now. We should have done far more already by now, so we need to do a lot of amends now. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are effectively helping ourselves to the planet's future and we need to do something to redress that balance and build a bit more future in for the planet and indeed the population that lives on the planet.' ‘We all have to do our little bit, and lots of a little equals a lot. If everybody does their incremental piece then we've suddenly got some sizeable change.' ‘The more people we can touch with our success, the more people that believe in the dream, the more the dream turns into a reality.' ‘We can create welfare and richness when our heart is concerned with other people, animals, nature, all human beings.'

She graduated from Kingston University in London 2013 with a degree in Illustration and Animation.

Rebecca is a seeker of the spiritual and inspired by the power and beauty in nature; from colour, form and pattern, to how we can look to nature as a guide and teacher in life. www.rebeccawheele.com Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen was born in a small family in Aarhus, Denmark. After backpacking through Asia, he worked for 8 years for Falck, a Danish rescue company in Denmark – specializing in rescue, fire, and ambulance service. During this time, he – along with other volunteer colleagues – organized an ambulance-related project in Laos, Asia, consisting of training local people, and shipping 33 containers of hospital gear, fire-fighting equipment, and medical supplies, etc. The main goal was to help establish an emergency ambulance service. At age 27, Lars took Therapist education and later an ICF Coaching education to help self-love, the life he wants to live, and assisting his work. Since 2012, Lars is one of two driving forces behind the ‘Growing Trees Network', a NGO based in Denmark. He passionately holds a powerful belief that together – by planting many new forests worldwide – we can help Mother Earth, the climate, animals and be with love to ourselves and the coming generations. More specifically, he is also a great believer in ‘Theme Forests' as part of planting billions of trees, as a result of donations from companies, fund-raising and the world's population – ultimately contributing towards more peace in our world. www.growingtrees.dk Business Entrepreneur and expert business connector Dave has a passion for supporting others and doing his bit for the planet too. Drawing from a managerial career in multiple industries he brings a wealth of experience from environmental science and research to a specialism in environmental energy all the way through to referral marketing and business community building. A former team member and winner of the North West Business Environmental Awards which in turn lead to the company being presented to HRH the Queen and Prince Phillip for environmental innovation helps demonstrate Dave's aspirations for a better environment. For the last decade and a half Dave has built an enviable reputation as a business connector, trainer and leader working closely with a community of 200+ businesses across multiple sectors driving tens of millions of pounds into the Cheshire East economy. He has a long-held belief that all individuals should be given “the space to grow” and show their true self. Dave has always chosen to recruit his leaders based on attitude rather than skill with belief that you can train skills but you cannot buy attitude. When he is not at the helm of his different businesses you will find him on the water enjoying the tranquillity and natural beauty of the Lake District in the UK. He takes a great pride in watching his son enjoy a natural empathy with the water and environment be that on a paddle board or wake board.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca Wheele are joined by Collins Mureithi to talk about personal development and what those two simple words mean to them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I started my journey of growth by identifying a mentor because I knew that I couldn't do it alone. I had so many questions about what I needed to do when I was building my non-profit organisation. I learned from them to understand exactly what to do because they'd already been there and they already have wisdom. I also read a lot of books, articles, listened to podcasts, and watched YouTube videos on leadership, fundraising and management. I also identified and surrounded myself with positive people who are also on the journey of rediscovering themselves in a positive way and were going in the same direction. We have a lot of leaders in Africa who are mismanaging resources that they have been given. You find a lot of young people want to be leaders so that they can accumulate more wealth and make money so they can get a lot of resources for themselves to benefit themselves. Those are negative leaders, but negativity can also influence and can make a lot of people suffer. Every day I work with young people in Africa to be leaders. I have been able to identify what is actually happening in Africa – and a lot of young people are thinking the same. We cannot work like this. I established a centre where we can have these conversations about servant leadership, what is happening in our communities, and how can we solve them? We don't have a mindset of doing things to get something in return, we do things because we were created to do this kind of thing. I'm not that religious, but I believe in God, that there is a higher power that has put purpose in me. That person leads me every day to do what I do. The seed of purpose in my heart is to solve a problem in the world. Every day when I wake up in the morning, I say to myself: “The higher power chose me to be here right now, that is special, it means I'm special, why should I live a mediocre life? I need to live a special life that is impacting people to live positively”. When I go to sleep at night knowing that today I've been able to improve a life or leave a purpose, I'm OK and I thank the higher power for giving me this day and I can sleep at peace looking forward to the next day to continue living my purpose. BEST MOMENTS‘Personal development to me means growth, and not only growth but positive growth. You have to invest in yourself and in something for you to grow.'‘Everybody has a purpose. Everybody was created to solve a problem.'‘Servant leadership is about identifying what is in you and then trying to apply it by solving a problem in the community or wherever you are.'‘Servant leadership is the solution to most of the problems in Africa.'

Speaking From Our Hearts

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca Wheele are joined by Rubria Mendoza to talk about the fascinating topic of family matters and why family is important. KEY TAKEAWAYS Family is important for me because it's the centre of everything we do. Their values, support and the dynamic bonds that are created can be transposed to any other area of our lives: work, friends, etc. For me, family isn't just blood relatives, family are people I have a strong connection with. I'm not blood related to my second Mum, yet we are equally close as I was with my Mum. I have a strong group of friends who I met 20+ years ago, we call ourselves family. When we had kids they refer to us all as uncles and aunts because that's how we feel that connection.  One of the greatest things about family is that we don't have to agree on everything. Even though we were raised the same way we are unique. When I've gone through bad times with family members, something I learned years ago when attending support groups is that I don't want to stop loving the person, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with their actions. I don't like their actions but I still love the person. I don't get stuck, I try to move forward, even if the relationship doesn't go back to what it was. It can be really hurtful, but I don't have to carry those things with me. My group of people share the same values, that we are honest with ourselves and willing to be open, even if we don't talk much or see each other in person, we still feel the connection. That, for me, has been amazing. We're all human beings, there to support each other, cheer for the others, and help. That's what family is about. BEST MOMENTS‘Family is priority.' ‘Family is where I feel loved, safe, where I feel I belong.' ‘You may be missing that link for the rest of your life but there is still more chain ahead.' ‘I encourage the little ones that they can pursue anything, there's no such thing as a thing for a boy, a thing for a girl, a thing just for adults. The sky's the limit, life is too short to live with restrictions.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca Wheele are joined by returning guest Pat Wolff to talk around the broad topic of health, personally and for the planet in these times of significant divides in wealth and the impending climate crisis.  KEY TAKEAWAYS I'm a paediatrician and primary care physician, so I have a medicalised view of the world, but I also am the founder of a programme in Haiti – a factory that manufactures food for malnourished children. So, I'm also a reluctant industrialist as well. I've travelled a lot, so I have a broad view of the differences in health in various places, but I have an overarching concern about the climate crisis and what it's going to do to all of our health. The world is going to change so much in the next 10-20 years that we all need to think about it today and figure out how we're going to fit into that for ourselves, our children and grandchildren, our communities and the world. We have to get serious about prevention, and that includes our environment. Chaos, lack of food, violence, insecurity, refugees, immigrants are top of mind for us and they're going to be top of mind for more people in more places in the coming years because of climate change. Some places are going to be too hot for people to live in, some places are not going to have water so they'll have to move, some places are not going to have food so they'll have to move. Where will they go and who will welcome them? How will we redistribute the wealth of the world, which we can all agree is very top heavy with very few people owning most of the wealth. That is not going to work. We really have to think about more social justice because poor people won't put up with it. In order to prevent violence we need to do the right thing: Share. Haiti is a snapshot of the future for other places. It's environmentally degraded, all the wealth is owned by 1% of the people, people don't have enough of anything, and they live very simply. I've lived there 50% of the time for many years and it's like a different planet to the rest of the US where we buy whatever we want, we throw away what's not the newest thing, we're careless about our use of energy and resources because we can be.  We need to get more mindful – more simple – about what our needs, wants and desires are. Our current inputs are about wanting more and comparing ourselves to people who have more and do more things. Need not, want not and you'll be happy. Simplify. Spend less on stuff, spend more time in nature, care for the Earth and each other. BEST MOMENTS ‘Health is not just the absence or presence of disease, it's really having good air to breathe, good food to eat, good water to drink, not a significant, serious amount of stress in you life, having security, a lack of violence on an everyday basis, having a place to live, it's all of these things.' ‘We all do better when we all do better.' ‘Walls are not going to do it. You really have to enable people to live, to find food, shelter and water where they are, or make accommodations for them to move to where the weather is going to be more congenial to human life.' ‘The planet and animals will survive better than humans will. It might be that humans are not equipped to think about the future and to delay gratification today in order to have a better future.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca Wheele are joined by Joe Howe and Tom Michler, to talk about why it's so important to give youth a sporting chance in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS The multitude of benefits that a child can gain from the experience of being given a sporting chance in life. These include the socialization, the feeling of being – that they belong – is so important for our programme, that activity itself. But, for Joe and I, once you become a part of the St. Louis soccer community you're part of it forever, and it's a wonderful experience of community. We saw a gap with the pay-to-play model, a lot of children that just wouldn't get that opportunity and we knew what the game had done for us, we really wanted to fill that gap. We've both played on teams where there was a lot of talent but it didn't always work. It works when there's an orchestration and you have that experience and success, that's a very powerful experience. The experience of belonging really grounds you and when you see those guys years later it's alive and well in you. That's what we're looking to provide via the field; a sense of belonging while playing sports and having fun also. There's a lot of groups teaching soccer. The important thing is how we go about it and what we're emphasizing in the setting. My background is in mental health and more and more we pay attention to the environment a child is growing up in. The nature vs nurture argument has really moved into environment vs genetics. Our intention is to create a particular environment intentionally that is inclusive, safe and fun. You can't coach every kid the same. Some kids respond to you challenging them and some kids not so much, they can be shy and need coaxing into it. You have to notice that, and some kids really have a load they're carrying so you really have to watch it and really work with them and be conscientious of what they're going through. BEST MOMENTS ‘Let the game be the teacher not only for soccer but for life.' ‘The great thing about sport is it's the great equalizer, if you can play you can play and it doesn't matter where you're from.' ‘We build our goals wider, purposefully, to promote scoring. When a child has the experience of scoring a goal and they tell us about it, you see it in their eyes. From then on that child gets more assertive both in the play and with other kids around them too.' ‘Nothing beats when you teach a kid a new skill and you see the lights go on in them, that's the greatest thing ever and makes it all worth it.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca are joined by Dr Art McCoy and Crystal J. Swanigan to explore the topic of foundational faith in the context of Blessed Beyond Belief, and how important faith is in all its various guises and what it really means. KEY TAKEAWAYS Faith is beyond a dream, it's greater than a dream. F.A.I.T.H. – Forward All Issues To Heaven or Forget All Impossible Truths and Trust in Him. My higher power is God, I lean on him for all things, I dream big. Faith is dreaming big and stepping out on the ledge without a net underneath to catch you, just know that the direction that you're going has been pointed and directed by your faith.  “Trust without evidence” can be universal or religious. Faith is a corporate thing, there's a community of like-minded people that have a similar creed. In America we're focused on ourselves with regard to faith. But in the beginning of a belief or a religion, there's a creed – a perception of truth – that transcends the current reality and reasoning. That's very important as a leader because it lets me know how many people have faith in a vision, faith in a future, faith in a community, and faith in an outcome that we can create something out of nothing. It is possible to have a level of faith that is individual, but that faith is miniscule in comparison to a corporate faith. In all texts, including sacred texts, the community of faith is what gives you your strength. This oneness with this element that is bigger than you that taps into an unmediated truth. People call it God, people call it Universe, but in the end it's the communal aspect that makes you have divine power.   Intentional is a plan, an aim, a goal, a target, it's predestined, pre-thought-out, intended to be, expected as a result, it has a purpose. My pain becomes my purpose, my misery becomes my message, those are the things that were intended to come my way so I could become the advocate for the product/topic. Pain was inflicted to provoke me to bring more light. We don't really get involved in things until it knocks on our door. BEST MOMENTS ‘Things work together for my good. It may not all be or taste good, but it's all working together for my good.' ‘Faith is the substance that things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.' ‘Faith gives you the power to transcend reason and reality in a way that makes something better than it was before.' ‘No man is an island, we stand together. People need me to make their lives more fulfilled and I need people to make my life more fulfilled.'

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Rebecca Wheele are joined by Sally Hooper to talk about the children's book ‘In-Betweeny-Weeny', that they have co-created within World Game-Changers, the story behind the book and what they hope to achieve through telling the story.   The book can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Betweeny-Weeny-Sally-Hooper/dp/1782229809?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Or the World Game-Changers website: https://worldgamechangers.org/book-mastering-the-game-of-life/ KEY TAKEAWAYS The story was written by Sally a long time ago when her now 22-year-old son was 3. He was a very hyper verbal, intelligent boy with an expansive vocabulary. She was in bed-rest while pregnant with her daughter. This was quite a big adjustment and he started stuttering. I wrote the story for him to help him through that time in his life when things weren't normal and to teach him some patience, self-acceptance as well as optimism and hope that he'd get through this and be fine. I already had experience with work with children in my professional life, so I was familiar with disfluency, saw it unfolding and got him the help that he needed really early on. It also came in handy that my sister is a speech and language pathologist, so between her, I and the therapy he was receiving from another speech and language pathologist, all that intervention did the trick. He's made a full recovery since. While the story was written about my son and disfluency it transcends that. I simply talked about a “struggle” that the child is having, so it's useful for lots of different kids with lots of situations that can arise. The take-home message is: You're unconditionally loved whether you're making a mistake or doing things just right and everything in between. It's a nurturing, fun way to make an emotional connection with your child and let they know they're unconditionally loved which is an important message for any child to hear. The co-creation has been as fulfilling as any other part of this project. It's been a labour of love, but in the most lovely way. It's been a highlight of my life in the last couple of years, jumping on Zoom calls with Rebecca and others at World Game-Changers. You're bringing a children's book to life with fanciful words and illustrations, how could that not bring a smile to your face?   BEST MOMENTS ‘Like anything with children, early intervention is the key to turning things around.'‘The book was a way of having a special connection with my son to let him know that it's OK, we're going to work through this.'‘I've always found writing to be very cathartic and healing – writing and making soup!'‘In writing this story the three of us have talked about the importance of the parent or grownup raising a child to be a model and shaping a child's behaviour by modelling appropriate behaviour.'

 On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Rebecca Wheele and Sally Hooper for the third episode on the subject of being blessed beyond belief. On this episode they focus on nurturing children KEY TAKEAWAYS During covid I pivoted from helping schools set up early education programmes for autistic children to work more with the neurotypical population and helping parents get past some parenting challenges with their little ones to get back to loving life together at home. All my experiences combined have brought me to a point where I want to instil, teach goodness and model how to do that for grown ups because a lot of grown ups don't necessarily have the tools or knowledge of how to model or teach that for children: Teach patience, self-worth, introspection, forgiveness, gratitude, community and all these wonderful things that if we teach kids, the earlier the easier, what an advantage these kids will have as they age and become grown ups and hopefully contribute as world game-changers in the world as well. I see kids as little sponges and they're going to soak up whatever it is that you put in front of them. You could fill them with sour milk, the blandness of water – your absence as a parent, they'll soak that up – or we can fill them with the sweet nectar of goodness and your time and attention, which is what most kids want. It's an opportunity to pour goodness into them and if you do that then they'll drip goodness. You can hear about trauma or read about it or see it in a movie, but to really experience it first hand when families are communicating it to you is a whole different thing. It was a privilege to be in that position, I didn't take it lightly but it was eye-opening. BEST MOMENTS ‘Much of the issues I was dealing with [from children I was seeing as a therapist] had to do with what happened to them when they were younger, really little. So much of what we do comes from our early upbringing.' ‘If we can instill goodness in little ones from the get-go, what an advantage they will have in their life. We can give them a leg-up in this world.' ‘If I can teach a child that's on the autistic spectrum to talk what else can we teach kids who are neuro-typical, who don't have the challenges that child had?' ‘Nurture is a huge, huge component to the outcome of a child.'

Rebecca is a seeker of the spiritual and inspired by the power and beauty in nature; from colour, form and pattern, to how we can look to nature as a guide and teacher in life.  www.rebeccawheele.com As an educational & behavioral consultant, Sally has worked with dozens of school districts since the mid-90's, helping them integrate principles of Applied Behavior Analysis into classrooms. Sally also works privately for families, equipping parents with effective, evidence-based strategies, and helping them optimize their parenting skills to get back to enjoying time together. With 28 years of experience working in the field of autism and special education, her approach has remained simple – she believes in maintaining a positive mindset, creating partnerships with a purpose, and always striving for significant outcomes for children.
