From the outside my life looked wonderful. I had an amazing wife, three great kids, a beautiful house in the countryside and a successful consultancy business. But on the inside, I was deeply unhappy. I felt trapped by the very life that I had designed. I felt that I had no sense of purpose. And I’d lost all sense of who I was or what my place in the world was. But what I’ve discovered since is th... more

Loved the one year on episode. Paul talks so openly about the challenges of midlife, it’s a really frank and refreshing listen.

My new regular pod. Thanks.
I’m five episodes in and the host has a compelling purpose and good manner. There are some insightful moments that address a worthy topic. However… all the stories (so far) are from people who are rather “comfortable” in life and have a business to promote.

This isn’t to demean their struggle with crisis, but after five ... more
Yes! This does get a foothold on an important topic that is skirted around on other pods.
Not sure? I’ve heard two editions so far and as per usual for any podcast; it’s all about the product the guest is making a living out of.
Maybe if people stopped thinking material possessions are the be all and end all, the balance sheet would take care of itself more. That will make you more resilient.
My aim is to score this higher the more I listen.
