Ep 535The Greatest Challenge With Life Is... (3) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest & host Rebecca Wheele for the third episode of their deep-dive conversation about what they each think is the greatest challenge in life, and whether or not there is just one. KEY TAKEAWAYS Challenge is not a finite thing and it’s unique to the individual as well. There isn’t one challenge in life that will fit everyone, everyone has their own unique challenge. There’s wisdom to be found on the other side when you are facing a challenge. If you are able to face it it can be alchemised into something, integrated and turned into something that can help you in your journey. Being able to separate yourself from yourself and understanding how you are showing up in the world, understanding those small nuances can tell you so much. You should really try to be in tune with those and really listen. You’ve got to create new neural pathways. Where we pay our attention is where the energy and the power is. If we keep going a certain way, sooner or later that new way is going to appear and the old way will disappear. BEST MOMENTS ‘Our greatest challenge is our greatest gift.’‘Motivation comes from taking action. Most people wait to be motivated to do a thing. When you do something outside your comfort zone you get motivated, so it actually comes from taking action.’‘If you don’t nurture something it dies.’‘I try to shift from feeling nervous about something to feeling like wow, I’m alive and something is making me feel alive. What an amazing feeling.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 534The Greatest Challenge With Life Is... (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest & host Rebecca Wheele for the second in their series of podcasts of deep-dive conversations about what they each think is the greatest challenge in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS My answer in the last podcast was that my greatest challenge in life is myself. Since then, I’ve thought hard about it and identified that one of the things is self-belief. This is a massive challenge for me, which I’m sure resonates with a lot of us. I had a belief that I hated cats. Something somewhere supported that belief. Perhaps when I was younger I was scratched by a cat, it could have been anything, but I had that belief for many years. When my ex-girlfriend and I bought a kitten for her mother. One night I was woken by a wailing from the kitten in pain. It had been hit by something and its young life was lost. I was devastated and that feeling went on for days. I realized that the belief I had wasn’t true. Even with a belief that you think is serving you, you can get trapped in the container of that belief and it can hinder any progress or growth. Being open minded and challenging all beliefs is a really healthy thing to be able to do. We go through life and, if we’re lucky, we get to a stage where we think: “I need to change this, or if I can’t – because it’s external – I let it go”. It sounds over simplistic, but there’s so much that we can take out power back on by changing how we perceive and frame things. BEST MOMENTS ‘Until we learn to let go, we’re a prisoner in the goldfish bowl that is our head.’‘Encourage doing it wrong. Young children don’t give a damn about getting it wrong. There is no wrong and we forget that as we get older. There’s a story we’ve decided is true, it becomes a belief.’ ‘Conditioning is another great challenge in life. From an early age seeds have been planted, particularly in the formative years as a child, it’s massive.’‘If only I knew then what I know now. That’s the beauty of life, trusting in the process and in certain people is priceless.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 533The Greatest Challenge With Life Is... (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest & host Rebecca Wheele to deep-dive a conversation about what they each think is the greatest challenge in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rebecca: For me, the biggest challenge in life is myself and knowing oneself. There are all sorts of identities we get wrapped up in life, from the facts (hair colour/gender/etc) to what we do as a job, what we’re good at, what we practice, how we show up in the world. I am a creative person, a designer and artist. But it’s a part of who I am not who I am. One of the challenges in life is to dismantle that identity to peel back the layers and to tap into he true essence of who we are rather than the thing we’ve wrapped round ourselves. Paul: I’ve never really run with the crowd, in fact I’ve run against the crowd. But there was a small part of that, when I reflect back, that was just to be different, which itself is an identity thing: “I don’t want to run with the crowd”. But, I knew who I wasn’t. And, I think often times to know who we aren’t is a good stepping stone to get closer to finding out who we actually are. I have a story that I’m not good at communication and I’ve reflected on that recently. What it is in the moments when I have a fear of judgement in a situation where I feel like I’m not enough or I’m putting someone else on a pedestal, or feeling like there’s going to be judgement about what I say. That actually hinders my ability to be able to express what’s inside. A small belief like that starts to play out. If you suppress an emotion as it comes up all it does is start to bubble up. It’s like building a dam to block a river, the river and the flow of water doesn’t go away, eventually what will happen is it will burst over the top. In the moment of feeling that emotion, you should be able to express it in a safe space with someone to release that energy and be heard. BEST MOMENTS ‘We’re kind of like chameleons, we change our colours to blend in with the outside world, and maybe we shouldn’t.’ ‘What is serving us in our identity?’ ‘Once you know where your base is it’s OK to leave base.’ ‘Another of the greatest challenges in life is to love oneself, especially in moments of anger and frustration. It’s easy to love yourself if something’s gone well or you’ve achieved something, but the challenge is to love yourself in the darker moments.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 532Missional Leadership & Spirituality: Knowing Me, Knowing You (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Aimee Mosco

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Aimee Mosco in the second episode on missional leadership and spirituality – specifically around identity and our relationship to the outside world – from a more spiritual perspective than the first episode, which was more religion-focussed. KEY TAKEAWAYS We’re eternal beings, we constantly change and constantly grow, so we need to ask ourselves questions about who we are, what are our beliefs today, and how have I grown every day. Otherwise we get stuck in who we were yesterday and that becomes our identity. A little fluidity is very beneficial. Spirituality to me means the essence of your spirit, your spiritual beliefs are your home, it’s where all your thoughts and emotions are derived from. I'm intuitive and have been studying spirituality for many years from my own perspective and divine archives and the conclusion that I’ve drawn is that spirituality is really a compendium of experiences and lessons for the soul. My spiritual foundation was constructed on these lessons and knowledge that I’ve curated and put in my divine archives to use on a daily basis. I grew up Catholic, but I wasn’t able to embrace the faith because some things just didn’t sound right to me: Some of the stories that are told and perpetuated by the Catholic religion just didn’t feel right. But, I always felt like there was something more that I needed to know about. Behind the scenes I developed a very close relationship to “Jesus energy” or “the Christ Consciousness energy”, to me it’s the most pure energy that exists and is available to us. Through my studies I believe that Jesus was who we called Christ, but I believe that there have been many Christs. In fact, I believe that the next coming of Christ is really about us stepping into our own Christhood, seeing ourselves as Jesus or a God. I think we’re always guided by spirit, our own inner spirit and grand inner spirit. We’re actually programmed to be guided by this higher guiding force or light, but the burden is on us to actually discover who and what we are as an individual. My studies have also been around how the human energy field is constructed. This is constructed from the lessons of the Christ consciousness, it’s our goal as an embodied being to integrate some level of mastery to these lessons. BEST MOMENTS ‘My success is your success is our success. Ultimately, we’re all connected by our spiritual roots even if our faiths and practices are different.’‘Spirituality to me means the essence of your spirit, your spiritual beliefs are your home, it’s where all your thoughts and emotions are derived from.’‘Jesus was a man, but he was able to channel through his vessel these pure energies, pure information, pure teachings, pure lessons and then display or mirror them for others.’‘Faith is like our little test that we can use as a guidepost, I believe it’s directly connected to your inner truth and spirit.’ 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 GUEST Aimee is an author, intuitive channel and co-founder of Intentional Healing Systems, LLC. Over the course of 10 years, she developed a healing system called SACRED after mapping the components of the human energy field, based on channelled communications. She conducts practitioner certification for SACRED and teaches classes based on the system, as well as her books… ‘Gratitude + Forgiveness x(Love) = Happiness’ ‘Daily Agreements, Guidelines & Intentions’. Aimee is a co-host of the global community group ‘Evolve Through Love’, and she works as an intuitive who specialises in facilitating healing of the body, heart, mind, and spirit. She has dedicated her journey to teaching others how to shift their beliefs, thoughts, and emotions to unearth innate personal power.

Ep 531Missional Leadership & Spirituality: Knowing Me, Knowing You (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Claire Bankole

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest Claire Bankole, a coach who leads a Christian charity called Shift Youth and Community, to talk about identity – both how we see ourselves and how others see us and how we interact externally and internally. KEY TAKEAWAYS For me, being a Christian is an all-encompassing thing. I live my life as a faith worker, I don’t draw a salary and haven’t done it for 20 years. I live my life based on what I sense my purpose is and my call before God and as I do that I trust that everything that I need will come. Faith for me is tuning into what God is doing, in my and in you, what am I experiencing now? How do I see my past and make sense of it? How do I make sense of these circumstances? How do I make sense of who I am and my own life? It’s about perspective, but you look at everything. The anchor point is Jesus and God and He is good, and so all things work together for good. But, it’s not in a random way, it’s in a trustworthy way. Aa we follow and are obedient to that way of love, we are expressing His nature and we become more like him, and the world will become a better place. Love is the opposite of self-centeredness, when we love the other as Christ loves us, we lay down our lives, it’s a sacrificial, unconditional love. My understanding of my sense of self is that we’re complex, living beings, we are physical, mental, spiritual. But we’re pulled in two directions, towards God and towards the self. One is towards trust and relationship, and one is mistrust and self-preservation and there’s a constant pull between them. BEST MOMENTS ‘My perspective of faith is seeing things the way God sees them and living accordingly.’‘God is intelligently and lovingly interacting and waiting and bringing about His purposes and His goodness. That requires us to harmonise with him.’"God is love and, as a Christian, the greatest commandment is to love God, the next greatest is to love your neighbour, then Jesus added a third one: Love one another as He has loved us.’‘Often in religious conversations, people can get very idealistic. Christians are called to love and He sorts out everything else, we’re not called to judge, separate, say I’m in and you’re not.’ 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 GUEST Claire Bankole: I am a coach accredited at Practitioner level with the EMCC.

Ep 530How Crazy Are You? (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Rebecca Wheele on co-hosting duties once again to continue their discussion into their idiosyncrasies, how we sometimes don’t fit into others’ ways of thinking – because we’re all different, and how some of us are a little more ‘abstract’ than others. KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have layers to ourselves, layers to different aspects – the feminine and masculine energies – and we tap into those at different stages in our lives. We have stories around that as well, so we have to be aware of the stories that we tell ourselves. But, when we tap into our true essence and our energy it’s like a toolbox where we have different aspects of ourselves like creative and strategic sides that we can use in different situations. By worrying, thinking or qualming about the future, you’re literally taking away from the moment which is right now, which is always what is. We are always in the moment. Be curious about the future but you have to practise letting go of it and living in the moment. When I think of the craziest thing I’ve ever done I think of reckless things I did when I was younger. But I think the really crazy things that feel like Alice In Wonderland experiences are more beautiful. I’m always making up words. I embrace being really weird and have let loose in being very strange on nights out with friends, I use drinking to let that out but it’s always there, there’s a social expectation of what we should be. I think that’s why people do drink and take drugs, to give themselves permission to let it out. We need to give ourselves permission to let it out without the substances. I know that I’m very crazy and very weird, but I don’t show that side of myself to people very much. I’m going to make a point of being conscious to let it out around people because it will give them permission as well. If we all invite ourselves on that journey to tap into that craziness we know is in us and playing with it, being joyful and magical with it and opening up the limitless infinite possibilities that are, seeing where it goes and trusting. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s two different meanings of the word “crazy”, it’s negative or bad, but there’s also the brilliance of crazy that comes with a creative, outside the box, genius quality.’‘Certainty creates restrictions and barriers. The vibrancy of life is the beauty and lights us up.’‘Be present and live in the moment.’‘Make the most out of any situation, because what’s the alternative?’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 529How Crazy Are You ? (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Rebecca Wheele who takes over hosting duties to discuss their idiosyncrasies, how we sometimes don’t fit into others’ ways of thinking – because we’re all different, and how some of us are a little more ‘abstract’ than others. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is crazy? We’re all living life from our own perspective, literally through our own lens, and we only really give so much of who we are to the outside world. We show people the tip of the iceberg, underneath there’s a whole other realm. Irrespective of whether the days were dark or light, when I look back on the one thread, it’s love. That’s the thing that interwove the rich tapestry of experiences in my life. Everything’s a mirror in life. If anyone’s finding you too ‘this’ or too ‘that’ it’s nothing to do with you, it’s showing where they’re at in their life. We put too much emphasis on this thing called a body. I’m not saying don’t look after it, but there’s something far deeper within us. To me it’s like a car; it’s the paintwork on the outside. But, what’s really underneath the engine – what’s our soul’s purpose? Who am I? Not how I think I am, but going beyond all that and the liberation, freedom, and love that goes with that energy and high vibration. BEST MOMENTS ‘Once you drop the mask of expectation and perception of judgement of others, the freedom is massive.’ ‘There is no story, other than what you choose to create.’ "We act like we’ll live forever, we’re not promised tomorrow and I think we really lose sight of that.’"We are enough just as we are.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 528If Einstein Made Music (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined again by Rebecca Wheele who hosts the second in a multi-part episode exploring the hypothetical of what if Einstein made music? KEY TAKEAWAYS Einstein represents science and ‘logical’, ‘masculine’ way of thinking. Music represents creativity, flow and a more ‘feminine’ way of thinking. It feels quite polarised, but what we’re exploring is the two energies coming together and synergising – this is when magic starts to happen. What’s key to recognise is that we’re part of Mother Nature and we have deep wisdom inside of us. Our bodies may have been birthed in this lifetime, but we’re connected to our mother and our grandmother and that whole line of ancestry. Wisdom is held in our DNA. But, the ego means we think we know what’s best and what’s right. There’s often an idea that we’re separate to the Earth, but the more we can recognise that we are part of Mother Earth and see the way we treat ourselves is the way we treat the Earth. The more that we look after, nurture, nourish, and care for ourselves, the better we can look after the Earth. It’s interesting how we can listen to a song and connect with it, and we’ll all have our own unique perspective and reaction to the song. We connect with notes, sounds and frequencies and their patterns, and music is a pattern of a frequency layered over other frequencies to make a harmony. If we’re in an energy or a specific frequency field, and there’s a piece of music that falls into resonance with that, we’ll relate to it. It feels like you get meaning and emotion from it. But if you’re in a low vibration and feeling sad, a higher frequency or uplifting energy can inspire you out of that frequency. BEST MOMENTS ‘Polarisation creates a unity, like the yin and yang.’‘There are so many different frequencies, essences, emotions, energies that music brings to our life, and you can really tap in and make a choice where you end up in yourself.’‘One day you might have a completely different reaction to a song that if you listened to it a few years ago.’ ‘There’s a vulnerability with singing, it feels like there’s a connection between singing and sharing your voice and expressing your true self. That’s why I feel a reservation around singing and I think a lot of people can relate to that.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 527If Einstein Made Music (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele who hosts this first in a two-part episode about energy through exploring the hypothetical of 'What if Einstein made music?' KEY TAKEAWAYS I don’t know if Einstein did make music, he certainly wasn’t renowned for his musical prowess. I think most people would say the man was noted for his science and his genius. The commonality between Einstein and music is energy because he researched it in all its various forms and music – in my world, apart from love – is the most powerful form of energy there is. It’s like we’re seeking permission to enjoy ourselves. What would the world look like if everyone was in a space in their lives where there were no boundaries and everyone was expressing and not afraid to just be zany? Look at the science of the world; it’s very matter of fact, it’s got a perception… I look back to my own journey where I had a scientific approach to life – I needed facts and proof – that was down to my own insecurity and massive vulnerability that I’d carried from childhood experiences. As the years have gone by, I’m just in the moment, if I feel like dancing I’ll dance and if I feel like singing I’ll sing. I don’t need that proof. I’ve gone from seeing to believing to believing before I see it – I create it myself. When someone writes a love song, what makes that song resonate with someone is their intention of expressing their truth, their feelings and what they are experiencing and that manifests. Music is the tool to connect with that energy. It’s the same for art as well as other creative outlets, they capture the frequencies and vibrations that we all feel and they can powerfully impact our state. BEST MOMENTS ‘What’s in words? Words have energy, put a tune to it. How important is tonality in our words?’‘One of my all-time favourite songs is ‘I Want To Know What Love is’ by Foreigner, I’ve listened to it hundreds of times and it still hits me every time. The opening lyrics speak to us all in so many ways.’ ‘Music and art are expressions of love, in many ways, or emotions at least. They’re exploring different things.’ ‘Fear is an illusion, there’s nothing to be afraid of, it’s completely irrational in many ways. What if we dropped all that and stepped out into the world into our truth, this is me.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 526Is The Cost Of Your Energy Rising? (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele for the second part of a double episode covering what price we’re paying for our own personal energy. Not the gas or electric, but the way we’re living our lives and the energy levels that may be increasing or decreasing, and what the impact of that has on us as individuals. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is a choice to be made in how we show up with our energy. We have to choose which one to tap into, because we do have the more sombre, low energy, but there’s also playful, high energy, it’s not limited by anything, there are perhaps infinite energies. Like colours we chose the palette we show up with. The reality of life and having the awareness to ride the waves of all of the emotions, and not suppress any or feel guilt or shame. Anything you squash doesn’t go away, it just gets suppressed and comes up later in all sorts of different ways. When I’ve done that it comes back bigger and more. Just recognise and be real and honour your authentic feelings of what’s actually presenting right now. It’s important to stay true and real because there’s a fake-ness to when we by-pass and say everything’s great or wonderful. That’s great if it’s true, but if you’re in that place and there’s something else going on and you don’t want to look at it then you’re not in an authentic, true place. You can walk into a room and sense someone’s energy straightaway, and you can’t explain that. That’s something everyone can connect with. If this is a new concept to you listening, just try to connect with other people’s energies when you’re in their presence and feel what that energy makes you feel. BEST MOMENTS ‘Brushing something under the carpet doesn’t mean it goes away, it just festers and builds.’‘Music is movement of frequency and vibration in a certain way that’s harmonising. When music is done in an aligned way it sounds wonderful, beautiful and joyous.’ ‘Music is so profound and could be an untapped thing that has more potential for helping and healing and having a massive impact on people’s lives, so watch this space.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Not the gas or electric, but the way we’re living our lives and the energy levels that may be increasing or decreasing, and what the impact of that has on us as individuals. KEY TAKEAWAYS There’s so many different levels of ‘energy’. The rise in price of external energy affects us in some ways depending on our mindset. But there’s energy in terms of physical energy, to be motivated or do exercise, but there’s also spiritual energy. Perhaps they’re intertwined, perhaps there’s just one energy? What’s happening below the surface to create a reality? There are circumstances outside of our control – we’re born into a life and there’s a degree of things and opportunities that we have. But, at the same time, our mindset and our way of being – the frequency we’re tuned into, the story that we’re telling ourselves then creates that reality. I feel that we can all connect with that sense of energy about ourselves, the sense of a soul or spirit, and I feel that from my own personal belief and what I really resonate with is that the soul is eternal and in this lifetime we’re in this physical form and then we move on. Part of the mystery of that is not knowing. I feel like there’s a need in the world now to have to have everything proven and scientifically making sense. But that negates the mystery. Energy exists for me in the feeling realm. You can’t see energy – except for things like steam and water flowing – but you can connect to it more in the feeling than the seeing of it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.’‘Everything is energy. Match the frequency of the reality that you want and you cannot help but to get that reality.’ "We want to look for the facts because we feel safe in the facts. But the beauty of life is a mystery. If we knew it all for a fact, where’s the beauty and the mystery?’ ‘It can be confusing, on the journey, at times to think “what is my truth?”, but that’s where stillness, meditation and going inwards is so powerful in finding that.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 524If Alice In Wonderland Met Steve Jobs – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele who takes the reigns and goes on some deep dives with Paul about Alice In Wonderland and going down rabbit holes in life and how that relates to Steve Jobs. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think of the riverbank, the water is chaotic and can go anywhere, but the riverbank, which is solid and un-fluid, holds it in a place where it can dance and flow. The two together are really powerful, like the yin and yang. When we’re children we’re creating worlds and lands and invisible friends, the imagination in a child is off the scale, there’s no limit to it. Curiouser and curiouser, nothing’s impossible. Childlike curiosity is what captures people’s hearts with Alice in Wonderland, there’s a freedom in going into a world where it’s magical and wonderous. I feel there’s a part of everyone that is drawn to that because there's freedom in it. Alice in Wonderland represents the child’s struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults (dare I say this need for certainty). To understand our adult world, Alice has to overcome the open-mindedness that is characteristic for children, apparently adults need to live by rules. Children are taken through constrictions by adults. To a certain degree they need that. Rules are interesting because they can constrict things, unless we have the awareness to dance with the rules or at least be aware of why the rule is there, and question them and if they’re always going to be that way. There’s a fluidity and creativity within children that can be suppressed by adults The people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are those who do. I feel this Steve Jobs quote describes us at World Game-Changers. But, with Alice’s childlike curiosity, she believed in the good, she had the trust to drink the potion and eat the cake, she had the courage to go on a journey of self-discovery. That’s not a bad lesson for us to learn, is it? BEST MOMENTS ‘We’re always looking for the definitive, polarised, binary answer, aren’t we? In marketing terms, that silver bullet. There isn’t a right or a wrong.’ ‘What is growing up? Physically we grow up, but it insinuates that you become serious, and you lose that playfulness, fun and magic when you become an adult.’ ‘If I had a wound of my own, everything would be nonsense, nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t and, contrary-wise, what it wouldn't be and what it wouldn’t be it would, you see? It’s funny because there’s such truth to it while appearing nonsense.’ ‘Confusion comes before a breakthrough, but we don’t like confusion because we’re conditioned to want life to run smoothly, but it’s not like that.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 523Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (8) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke, Andrew Batt & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the eighth and final part of a conversation by returning guests Andrew Batt and Rebecca Wheele to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, including mastering the game of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul: My troubles were deeply rooted psychological issues, alcohol addiction etc and Gary’s were behind identity and being in the Casual scene. My advice to somebody like a younger me would be, whatever it is, learn to let it go. And you might say it’s alright for me to say, but having it as a focal point in our lives that we can let things go, in doing so we release that negative toxic energy that entraps and enslaves us, brings us down, depresses us, etc. The older you get, the more mature and wiser you get. You start off on the wrong path, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. Life’s a rollercoaster and you have to stick with it. Things can send you backwards sometimes, you could have a death in the family, you might lose your job or have no money, but there’s always good out there as well. Just keep right on ‘til the end of the road. It may not happen overnight, but make sure you’re surrounded by good people and look for help. Looking after our mental health is a lot better these days, nobody spoke about mental health in our day, but it’s out there now. My company does a lot of mental health tutoring and has mental health days. Reach out. I woke up and smelled the coffee, I was letting people down, my family and friends. You only get so many chances in life, and if you carry on down the path that I took, eventually you’re going to run out of friends, your family will turn their back on you, you could end up in prison, you’ve got to get a grip on it one day. BEST MOMENTS ‘We might be 3-0 down at half time, metaphorically, but there’s always the second half to play for.’‘If our younger days, as a man, looking for help was seen as a sign of weakness. That conditioning is nonsense, the real men in life do cry and they’re not afraid to show that vulnerability, and that’s strength.’‘When the chips were down I (Paul) had no one to turn to, which created a self-fulfilling prophecy as the deeper I got down the more I had to dig in. What I was doing was digging a deeper and deeper hole for myself and I couldn’t get out of it.’‘Fit in with yourself first, not to anyone else. Some people will resonate with you and some don't and that’s fine. If you can count on one hand the people that are in the trenches with you when it actually matters, you are very fortunate.’ 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 GUESTS Andrew Batt is a business expert and property specialist with a passion for helping others.

Ep 522Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (7) - Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Jason Kehoe

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the seventh part of a conversation by returning guest Jason Kehoe to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, including changing the beautiful game and what that means. KEY TAKEAWAYS There’s a lot of money in the game now and a lot of the players are spoiled, they’re not really connected to the fans anymore, not like the old days when the Nottingham Forest players used to take the train with the fans and mix. I’ve never met such a good group of guys, they were humble, they’d speak to anyone and take photos. These modern day footballers, I find that a lot of them are up their own arses – not all of them. The money has gotten a bit silly, but then again, it’s made it a better spectator sport. With all-seater stadiums you can take your family and you know you’re safe. So, in that respect, it’s gotten better. We couldn’t carry on the way it was in the 80’s. The football in the 70s and early 80s was fantastic, I loved watching some of those players, but it’s had to change, and it’s changed for the better. The euphoria of your team winning gives you such a high, but what I learned – and I gave all my power away, as a teenager to Nottingham Forest – was that you have a team in red and a team in blue. One of them wins 1-0. Imagine there’s 100,000 people in the crowd, 50,000 red and 50,000 blue, half of them will be absolutely elated because their team has one, the other half will be absolutely devastated because their team has lost. The result is the result, it’s 1-0, the only power it has is the power we choose to give it. It’s just a game. That was a powerful lesson for me. This is something you can apply to life in general. Dedication and determination in all aspects is important to becoming a star player in either the beautiful game or life, it’s a mindset, you can’t go after it half-heartedly. It’s almost cliché, but it’s true – but, if you dig below the surface of what’s really needed, those traits of respect, trust, honesty. This is why I’ve turned my back on the modern game because money has spoiled it and players dive and cheat trying to get other players sent off. I find it disgusting. What happened to the trust, the mutual respect of a fellow pro? Why do you want to dive around as if you’ve just been shot and try to con the referee? BEST MOMENTS ‘No one will ever repeat what Forest did: Gaining promotion and then winning the European Cup back-to-back.’ ‘I could remember every FA Cup winner from 1968-2000 but I can’t anymore, I’ve lost interest in it.’‘Don’t get too high when you win or low when you lose.’ ‘We’ll pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down and we will wait another four years and we’ll cheer England on, and hopefully it’s not too long. If I knew that, when I passed on, my son was to witness it, I’d accept that… not that I’d know a lot about it!’ 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 GUEST Jason Kehoe is an accomplished and recognised Director demonstrating significant successes, achievements and experience across a range of positions across finance, investment and sales.

Ep 521Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (6) - Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Darryl Claypole

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the sixth part of a conversation by first time guest Darryl Claypole to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, and how football has played a role in their lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Grass roots football is about taking part and enjoying it and playing with your mates. Some parents are too over the top with their kids and take it a bit too seriously, shouting at the referee and the manager, I don’t believe in that, it’s a bit out of order, they can frighten some kids off from wanting to be a referee – because some of them are as young as the kids playing and are still learning the game as well. The earlier you can let kids express themselves through whatever medium, whether it’s painting, sport, whatever aspect it is, just give them the ball and let them play. Now more than ever, in society, there’s that many expectations with social media and peer pressure to do this and that. Sport – and football particularly – teaches you about the philosophy of life and teaches discipline and respect. It’s incredibly important that charities like World Game-Changers put money into grass roots football, it needs money for the development of the kids. It’s every parents’ dream – and it’s the kids’ dream as well – to play professional football, they want their kids to do well. But, you can make a good living playing part time grass roots football as well as having a job, some players are earning £1000 a week. You can talk about the beautiful game of football, for me there’s an even bigger game: The game of life, and there’s a lot of common skills and attributes that we can take forward from one to the other. BEST MOMENTS ‘Football’s been my whole life from as long back as I can remember to now getting involved with grass roots football and watching my lad play on Sunday mornings.’ ‘I’m a massive lover in life, and particularly in football, of the style and philosophy that Pele was brought up with all those years ago: There’s the ball, let the children play.’ ‘We’re in this together, from the chairman to the tea lady.’ ‘We send them out the door far better young men than when they came through the door.’ 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 GUEST Darryl Claypole is the director of football at Carlton Town FC.

Ep 520Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (5) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the fifth part of a conversation by returning guest Rebecca Wheele to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, including a feminine perspective around football KEY TAKEAWAYS 70s football was more of a male-oriented sport, it was very rare you saw women and families at a match, that only came about with the birth of the Premiere League in the mid-90s. In the 70s it was every man for himself, especially at away games where you had to fight your way to and from the station. It’s not right, but it was survival of the fittest. In the 80s it escalated until Thatcher’s government turned it round with bans, all-seater stadiums and cameras. In the 60s it was: Do as you’re told, speak when you’re spoken to, know your place, you’re only a child. That was changing, certainly in the 70s with punk rock and the rebelliousness of the teens in Britain, we were saying “we’re not going to suppress any more, we have a voice, we want to be heard”. Punk rock spoke to that and it was played out particularly in football. I got peer-pressured into joining the Forest Boys. I got attacked by them in Nottingham city centre and every week afterwards I seemed to bump into them in the city. They were a great bunch of lads, and they invited me to go to away games with them and I did. To be honest with you, the first day I had out with them at Arsenal was a great day out, even though we all got arrested. But once you get into it, it’s like a drug, it’s very hard to get out of it. I’d just got together with a class a few years ago and things were starting to get serious after about three months. My idea of humour was to say to her: “I haven’t been completely truthful with you, I really don’t know how to tell you this ‘cause it’ll break your heart, you’re sharing me with somebody else”. She gave me a load of expletives and said she didn’t think I was like that. Then she wanted to know her name. I said: “I can’t tell you what her name is”. I got a slap, which was fair, but I burst out laughing and I was told I was disgusting. Then I told her it was Nottingham Forest Football Club and we both fell about laughing. Rebecca: I think I’d feel quite cross if someone did that to me. BEST MOMENTS ‘As a woman, and someone who hasn’t experienced violence or gang/hooligan culture, what drives you to get in a fight?’ ‘I got beaten up at Southampton at the age of 15, I wasn’t a hooligan, I was a normal schoolboy!’ ‘I wish I was at home having coffee and crumpets with my girlfriend rather than getting beaten up in the rain!’ ‘The gang lifestyle ended my first marriage, at the time you needed five points of unreasonable behaviour to get a divorces and Nottingham Forest was mentioned three times!’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 519Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (4) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Mick Garton

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the fourth part of a conversation by first time guest Mick Garton to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, including being torn between two lovers: Nottingham Forest and Carlton Town Football Clubs. KEY TAKEAWAYS I (Paul) met Mick about 20 years ago at an event, we got on and arranged to meet up and talk business over a coffee and a piece of cake. Obviously there was a love of Nottingham Forest that brought us together, but I loved and respected what you were doing with Carlton Town. Later that year we did the Brian Clough Tribute Dinner. We kept in touch and I helped Carlton Town with some sponsorship. I (Mick) knew Gary by reputation, I’d read your book, but the first time I met you was when you came to a Carlton Town event and you introduced yourself and very kindly donated some stuff for the auction. That pattern continued for more events, including buying us all shots at the end of the night! When you really got involved was during Covid when you couldn’t watch your beloved Forest and the only game you come go and see was Carlton Town, so you came down to watch us and I remember you coming up to me saying: “Bloody hell, this is good, I’ve never been into non-league”. From then on it got to the stage where you were at pretty much every game and it built from there. I (Gary) met Paul at one of your events just before Covid and I bought a couple of his books because I was intrigued by him and I wanted to know a bit more about him. Paul introduced himself and gave me his card, kept in touch and invited me on one of his podcasts for his World Game-Changers charity that he’d just set up and invited me to get involved with. Then Mick suggested a charity football match between WGC and Carlton Town as Covid was coming to an end. It was an overwhelming success and we raised more money than in our wildest dreams. I (Gary) get the sponsors in at Carlton now so I feel – if both Carlton and Forest are at home – I’m obligated to meet the sponsors. It wouldn’t look very good if I was at Forest when these people are coming to meet me and watch a game under my hospitality. It’s a no-brainer for me because I like going to Carlton and I like non-league football these days. I've been bitten by the bug. It’s a shame though because my son likes to go and see Forest, especially now they’ve been promoted to the Premier League, but I’m lucky because his Godfather tends to take him in my place. I’m pretty lucky really that I can do what I need to do. BEST MOMENTS ‘Gary seemed to be, although he had a past, somebody who just wanted to do good and help people. To this day, that’s the overwhelming thing that comes across to me, you’ll go out of your way to help people.’ ‘Like attracts like, you resonate with people that you know you are just going to just rub along with.’ ‘I’ve got more clubs than Jack Nicklaus!’ ‘My love of Carlton is for the unsung heroes – and there are a lot of them – and what they do for the benefit of the local community and particularly the younger people.’ 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 GUEST Mick Garton is the chairman of Carlton Town Football Club.

Ep 518Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (3) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Mick Garton

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the third part of a conversation by first time guest Mick Garton to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about who they are, including their love of Nottingham Forest FC. KEY TAKEAWAYS Because of what I was going through in my childhood I was looking for some kind of emotional reassurance, because my world was chaotic and violent, I loved the gentleness of David Cassidy’s music – though you weren’t allowed to admit to liking him, as a guy – I found it very soothing and still do to this day. It’s funny how music triggers the mind. Whenever I’m in a tube station in London I think of Gary because his favourite band is The Jam. My first suicide attempt as a kid of 13 and a half was on the back of Forest losing 1-0 to Newcastle in a replay on the Thursday night and two days later losing 2-0 to Fulham away. That was it, my world was shattered, I couldn’t cope any more. Those two games basically broke my heart. The reason I share this is because of the power of a belief system that we get in our minds. Forest was my world and I can remember at the time being physically sick, my Mum was crying because she knew what it meant to me. I didn’t have the latest designed tracksuit because ADIDAS was the thing to have. If everybody had ADIDAS, I had to have something different because I was never ever part of a crowd. I’ve always been a loner, being labelled miserable, anti-social, even when I used to get into scrapes, I always operated solo. I liked to have the best of everything, but it was very traditional, which reflected my taste in music. By the 80s I was out of football, my head was well and truly screwed from my childhood, and my drinking was out of control, I’d lost my marriage. I vowed that one day I’d return and kill the guy that was responsible for that and all the misery he’d inflicted on me and my mother, more so my mother. I’d given up and just wanted to die. Football was not on the radar. BEST MOMENTS ‘I used to sneak the transistor radio up to bed with me so I could listen to the games, and when I heard my Dad come up the stairs I’d quickly turn it off and put it under my pillow and pretend to be asleep.’ ‘Your interests do change as you get older, which helps as someone who DJs.’ ‘Someone said to me once: “You’ve got a really polished voice” and I said: “That’s because I used to drink Brass-O.” I actually used to drink metal polisher with some milk in it for a 'hit' because it’s almost pure alcohol. It used to knock your head off, but it gave you a hit.’ ‘I lived in the past, because my childhood was so violent and so erratic I was looking for some kind of emotional security, and I found that in trips down memory lane. I clung to things like Frank Sinatra, Karen Carpenter and even my love for Forest in the 70s, I still talk about Franny Lee, Roy McFarland, the old school. I’m still, to a certain degree, not stuck in the past, but appreciative of that culture of when people stood for real values.’ 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 GUEST Mick Garton is the chairman of Carlton Town Football Club.

Ep 517Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (2) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Keith Amoss

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for the second part of a conversation by returning guest Keith Amoss to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (aka Boatsy) about who they are. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul and Gary had similar paths growing up in poor families in inner-city Nottingham with mixed fortunes and adventures in their youths. Now they’re writing a book about changing their lives round from growing up in the wrong side of the tracks to coming out the other side. They decided to name the book Angels With Dirty Faces after the iconic James Cagney film of the same name because when you go back to that iconic film that is a tale of morality underpinning it. Gary and Paul have had loads of chats over the past few years around ‘the good old days’, how they’d found themselves in certain circumstances, and how they’re in a different part of the game of life and how much of a different ball game it is. Football was a big part of my life, I’ve been football mad for as long as I can remember. I played football for the primary school team and that was it, all I was bothered about was football – and cricket. I got into fashion in my fourth or fifth year at school and started going to football games on my own and I noticed the fashion at the matches, it intrigued me. Then came the music and going to away games on my own, visiting different cities. Football grounds in those days were violent places and I was intrigued by it, it fascinated me, I wasn’t scared of it. I got beaten up and a couple of football games so I got in with a gang and that’s where I think I fell off the rails a little bit. Half the time you’d have to fight your way back to the train station after the away match. You got the feeling you belonged to something, and women were attracted to it as well. For me, hard men don’t exist, they’re a fabrication. A man’s hands might be quicker than another man’s hands, it might take him longer to cry than another man and the rule of the jungle necessitates we give people labels, that there’s a pecking order, and that dictates that he is a hard man. Even in the midst of being in that goldfish bowl, I always thought; if you lose a loved one, you cry, if you get cut you bleed. My image was a mask of stern faced, don’t come near me, don’t mess with me, I’m not letting you inside. But, what I was really saying was please don’t hurt me anymore, I’m so emotionally hurt, vulnerable and I’m dying inside. It was a façade to keep people away, get in first, kill or be killed, big boys don’t cry. It’s all a front. As many parallels as there are between our paths, our mindset, our hearts, I often look upon Gary as a kindred spirit, the contradiction on that is that we have ended up in the same place after all these years when our paths crossed, but the paths that we took have been very different. Yes, there is a commonality with words like violence, Nottingham Forest, drink, but my patterns in all those were completely different to Gary’s. I needed drink, it was an addiction that was formed through my win/survive at all costs mentality, which was galvanised out of my childhood. If you had a black cat mine had to be blacker, if yours was actually blacker I had two cats. That addictive personality, win at all costs… I was living a total lie and did for decades. It’s not been until recent years that I’ve bottomed it all out, I’m 13 years dry and see things so much more clearly, but I needed alcohol to get by. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s often the way with gangsters, or naughty boys and girls, they build up a cult following with hero worship, promoting the dark side of life as glamorous. Actually, it’s not. But there’s that perception.’ ‘No matter what the first half of your life was like, or whatever has gone off in the past, there’s always room to change it in the second half.’ ‘You’ve always had [violence] in Britain in the 50s, 60s and 70s going back to the mods and rockers and the teddy boys, people have always defended their areas. ‘The damage that was done in my formative years has taken me most of my life to unravel.’ 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 GUEST After some years working for the UK Government in London’s Whitehall, Keith Amoss moved overseas and into the world of international organisations.

Ep 516Angels With Dirty Faces: Conversations About The Game Of Life (1) – Paul D. Lowe, Gary Clarke & Kristin Johnson

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by World Game-Changers director, Kristin Johnson to interview Paul and his friend Gary Clarke (a.k.a. Boatsy) about their childhoods growing up in Nottingham and the challenges they faced growing up. KEY TAKEAWAYS Inner-city Nottingham was a rough, tough place growing up in the 60’s, our family was very poor, to the point where the rag and bone man used to come around and gave us a cup and saucer or a goldfish. We bathed in a tin bath in a terraced house with an outside toilet and each of you had to share the same water. They humble days but there was feeling of family togetherness and a sense of the community binding together. Being my grandma’s favourite caused so much resentment among my cousins that we were always fighting, even with the girls – I used to fear fighting with the girls more than the boys, because the boys were straight fighters, with the girls you never knew what they were going to do next! But it also bred resentment and jealousy with my dad and my grandad. I remember school in the inner-city being a happy place, but kids now have missed out of a year’s schooling because of the pandemic and so many of them have fallen behind so they’re playing catch-up and that’ll affect them massively in the long term. I was introduced to violence at the age of 8, sickening violence at the hands of my step-dad, to the point where I gave my belief system over to Nottingham Forest football club. But, my world was one of extreme violence, degradation, torture, abuse, it was horrific and set the tone for many, many, many years to follow. At the end of the day, getting the cain, the slipper or whatever at school or at home, it was what we were used to, it was the way things were then. It’s easy to look back and say it’s wrong, and in modern day society it is wrong, and it was probably wrong then, but we didn’t know any different. Obviously, things have changed for the good now. It’s only in recent years where I’ve been having a bit of difficulty and my dad’s illness that me, my sister and my aunt have been able to talk about it. He was under a lot of pressure at the time, so I don’t blame him entirely and I’ve been able to get over it a bit.

Ep 515Awareness-Raising & Mindful Communication – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest host, Rebecca Wheele, who talks to Paul about the LEG (Life Enhancing Goal) that she directs in the World Game-Changers Organisation: Awareness Raising And Mindful Communication. KEY TAKEAWAYS How can you plan a journey from anywhere to somewhere else without knowing where you are, which way you’re facing. It’s a great metaphor for life, even making a cup of tea. Rather than just giving instructions there’s this empathy that takes it to another level. We need to be mindful of how we communicate, the tonality, words being about 7% of communication, 38% is tonality and the remaining 55% is made up of physiology. All that comes into play when we’re talking about mindful communication. This LEG is one of 10 that has been set up because it’s so powerful. However, there’s something that overrides it all: not being attached to the outcome. We can have that intention, create that strategy, plot that journey, but things happen that we’ve not planned for. It’s crucial not to get attached to the outcome. The vast majority of us humans want to control the situation and we create a whole story about how the outcome will be. We can find it painful to be in a comfort zone of self-protection around our identity, our expectations, our ego, etc. Then to actually face the reality when you start to peel back the layers that I’m actually not that personality, I’m not that script. That is the epitome of awareness raising, then when we go on that journey of self-enquiry, self-discovery it’s not being attached to the outcome. BEST MOMENTS‘Awareness is the starting point for all that we do in life.’‘Seek first to understand and then be understood.’‘Let life happen through you, not to you.’‘Keep on the move. Motion creates emotion.’ 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 GUESTRebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 514Meaningful Conversations About Nothing - Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

In this episode, the roles are reversed as Rebecca Wheele hosts the podcast! They talk about everything from what animal they would be, and self-awareness to the importance of energy in everything we do in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paradoxes are prevalent in all areas of life, they symbolise the complexities of the world which is demonstrated clearly again and again in the animal world. Words have energy, you can tell a lot from the words people use. We should always try and be aware of our intentions as if we aren’t our subconscious will communicate in ways we are not aware of. Life's path can be very strongly created by the belief system instilled in us from ages 3-7. BEST MOMENTS ‘I love the Elephant as it holds the gentleness and the giantness and isn’t that so true of life’ ‘Energy is the boss, energy is the highest order’ ‘Where your focus goes, energy flows’ ‘When we go about peeling that onion, physically or metaphorically, it can make us cry’ 'I heard the pyramids were built by singing' 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 513It's Criminal What's Happening In Africa – Paul D. Lowe & Collins Mureithi

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Collins Mureithi to tell us what’s going on in Africa including bad leadership with is contributing to a lot of injustices in countries and communities. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the things that’s going on in Africa that is criminal is bad leadership. We have leaders who are politicians and one of the things that defines Africa is that we have so many politicians that are not leaders. We tend to choose politicians before leaders – Nelson Mandela was a leader before he was a politician – many Africans don’t understand who is the right leader, and it has lead to a lot of accumulations of wealth, taking advantage of the communities and the resources that are supposed to be used in the communities. I love the WGC family because most of the people there are servant leaders, something we as Africans really want to understand and also be able to practice. One of the platforms that the WGC is using to build Africans, especially through podcasts but also just at the monthly meetings, it’s really powerful. At the end of the day we can really feel that these Africans who are also doing amazing work in the community can also learn what is happening in your countries: why is it a developed country? Why is Africa still behind? It’s very important to exchange ideas and learn from one another. Young people are watching what the leaders and people of influence are doing. As a child you will always help your leader or be influenced by what is happening. As many of our leaders are corrupt and engaged in corrupt activities, this really affects the young people and children and it makes the community in Africa to be in a really bad state. People in influence and leaders are taking advantage of self-interest, they don’t want to thin about other people. But, I’m glad we’re starting to have these conversations and asking how we can move away from corruption and how corruption is affecting our communities. In rural, grass roots communities there’s a lot of female genital mutilation (FGM) happening. One of the reasons for this is political. I think some of the leaders are also taking away the opportunity to empower the community to understand FGM. They are the forefathers, the family members of the people doing FGM so they enact the laws. Secondly, there’s a lack of information, people focus on issues with agriculture, health, but they don’t want to go through deep conversation about why FGM is happening. That’s why some of us have started to take initiative personally because we can wait for the institutions and the government to solve the problems – it will take too much time. We will have the conversations with leaders, elders, religious leaders, stakeholders and the police. BEST MOMENTS ‘We want to bring the mindset of serving your community without expecting anything. We, as WGC, are sensitising and training and having those conversations with the community members to understand what is the definition of the right leadership – not just in politics, but everywhere.’ ‘Servant leadership is whereby a person discovers his/her purpose and is able to share or solve his/her purpose without expecting anything. It’s service to humanity through love which is the purpose of each and every one of us on this world.’ ‘I believe that I need to invest in myself to understand exactly what is love. When we invest in love, we invest in skills, we invest in ideas.’ 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 GUEST Collins Mureithi is the founder of a grassroots youth-led organisation called Centre For Adolescent Young Change Makers.

Ep 512Being Immersed In The Present Moment, What A Gift (3)– Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele for the third part of their podcast about being in the moment in which the conversation flows from wearing masks in public, trust, music, listening to listen not to respond and creativity in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS To a degree there’s always a certain mask that we wear in company… or maybe there’s not. When there’s no mask you’re just being who you are which also brings in the idea that the people around you can in some way help to define you. There’s a certain degree of influence other people have on your life. Trust is a 100% thing. You either trust or there’s a smidgen of something else there, which is distrust. Any degree of lack of trust really comes down to there’s something there within ourselves that’s revealing. I’ve gone through times in my life where I’ve lost trust with myself, it really doesn’t even matter why or what those things were, it’s just trusting that we will be able to navigate through whatever situation and it will be OK in the end. Sometimes we’re just trying to help, but other times there’s something in us (the ego) that wants to give good advice for our own satisfaction. Is that a bad thing? I don’t know. But there’s definitely something to be said for listening deeply, with the heart rather than just listening to respond with something. Being with someone in their suffering can do so much, rather than offering any advice or solutions. BEST MOMENTS ‘The idea of surrendering to the unknown is scarier than doing it. Once you do the fear disperses.’ ‘Music is a very abstract form of expression, there’s such an array of music and they all speak to different parts of me.’ ‘Creativity is a dance in the realms of uncertainty.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 511Being Immersed In The Present Moment, What A Gift (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele for the second part of their podcast after their unplanned, free-wheeling conversation that forced them to be in the moment and how it affected them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I can’t remember what we talked about on the last podcast, which is interesting because that’s an indication of that pure immersion of being in the moment. Perhaps we were exploring uncharted waters, new territory which is always really interesting in a conversation where you’re dancing around different ideas at the moment. We can use control if it’s serving us but having the awareness to know what’s underneath the surface of that control – it always comes from somewhere – having the awareness to know where it’s coming from and why can really help us to navigate because then we can understand if it’s helping us or not. We can go through life often with the tendency to put the blame outside of us, saying things like “I’ve only ever known it this way”, “this is how I was brought up”, “this is why I’m x, y, z”. You can take back control by taking responsibility for yourself rather than putting the blame on the external. We carry so much baggage, and if we hold on to it or our mind wanders to something that happened in the past we can get stuck there and take it on as baggage if we don’t let it go. There’s such lightness to be experienced in life by letting go. It’s a key part of being in the moment, the moment is right now, everything else – the future and the past – lives in our heads. BEST MOMENTS ‘We’re always changing, evolving and shifting. In some moments a need for control can be more than in other moments. People labelling themselves this or that is quite curious. We construct ourselves when we do that.’ ‘To varying degrees, each individual has their experience with pain or suffering in their life and trying to escape or run away from that, or control it to not experience that again, it can get out of control by how that manifests in your life without the awareness.’ ‘Any situation in life that happens can show you where you’re not free or where you’re attached to some story or something that circles back to a degree of the self.’ ‘The thing that never changes within us is our true essence, our soul. Everything else that changes and shifts and dies and comes and goes is not actually us, not who we are.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 510FGM Awareness-Raising And Redefining Femininity – Paul D. Lowe & Bridget Kigambo

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Bridget Kigambo to talk about the comparing the circumstances and situations faced by previous generations of Ugandan women, and women around the world, to those faced by the current generation around femininity, with specific reference to FGM (female genital mutilation). KEY TAKEAWAYS In Uganda we have tribes that practice FGM. Mostly it happens in Northern Uganda and it is a cultural way of cutting (or circumcision), because our ancestors and traditional leaders believed you had to be circumcised to get married. In most cases, in a typical family, at 5 years old your mother can send you to your aunt's place where they take you through the initiation of why you should be cut and how it will benefit you as a woman. With the wrong tools that they carry out that activity, sometimes it’s so painful that they have to tie the girls to the table and the cultural leader (who is a female) comes and slices you with either a razor blade or a knife. With the help from civil society organisations and NGOs like Unicef, UNU, NFTA and other international organisations that invest funds to create awareness and train communities about how it is a human rights abuse to circumcise young women, especially children because it deprives them of sexual pleasure and it disfigures the reproductive parts of a woman. If god created you with a full vagina with a clitoris inside and the culture says you need to cut it off, it somehow dismantles the whole reproductive system of a woman and causes several diseases, not forgetting the trauma that comes with the circumcision. Through these programmes and activities, I see organisations creating awareness on how FGM not only deprives women of their divinity or their ability to carry on with their work or lead lives normally, but it’s not a must that every woman who has to get married has to go through FGM. Redefining femininity for me would mean being in a female-friendly community where I can fully exploit my potential, full access to all the basic needs I need as a woman to not only be a woman but also reach out to the spaces where before women were not allowed. Traditionally, African families were expected to invest more in their boys, no matter how many girls you had, because they believed that when the kids are old enough for marriage the women take all the glory, wealth and knowledge that they receive to the next family – they don’t belong to the families they are born into. But currently, I would say most families are more invested in supporting all girls in a way that they should go to school the same as the boys. BEST MOMENTS ‘My family doesn’t believe in FGM, but from the stories that we hear FGM somehow contributes to your divinity as a woman because if you’re not circumcised, or cut, you most definitely won’t get married or get a husband.’ ‘With the kind of awareness and knowledge sharing that we are having, we’re noticing reduced cases especially in the North. It’s better now and we’re getting there to a point where FGM will not be there anymore.’ ‘We have women MPs as well as men MPs, even in religious structures that used to be so rigid that they wouldn’t allow religious leaders to be women, we’re starting to see some institutions providing platforms and opportunities for women to lead, which is a great way for us to redefine femininity.’ ‘We are working towards enabling young women and girls to not only identify their skills and potentials, but also manage them to see what they can do towards creating gender inclusion and equality in our communities.’ 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 GUEST Bridget Kigambo is the founder of the Girl Care Centre, founder of Girl Power Connect, an architect, entrepreneur, illustrator/cartoonist at Youth Scroll Lock, and the proprietor at Green Shero Ltd.

Ep 509Being Immersed In The Present Moment (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele to have another of their unplanned, free-wheeling conversations that could go anywhere, but forces them to be in the moment. KEY TAKEAWAYS I notice my mind sometimes can’t help but wander: “I’ve got this to do”, “I need to email this person back”, “What am I going to do about this problem tomorrow”, and I feel that a lot of time we miss the real possibility for a deeper connection in that moment because the mind likes to wander. If we’re not aware of it, it distracts us from being in that moment. I’m trying to practice being immersed in that moment. There’s so much depth to us as humans. If it was an iceberg, we’d be presenting the tip of the iceberg to the majority of people, but there’s so much going on beneath the surface. By suppressing that down and not expressing them – journaling is a fantastic way to express – I believe that suppressed energy creates toxicity somehow in the body. It’s important to have people that can hold space for you without judgement to talk to about things. We’ve got the conscious mind, the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind. A lot of the patterns that play out in our lives that we’re unconscious of, other people around us that we’ve got that dynamic with can often see that much more clearly than we can. It’s called the shadow for a reason because we’re in the dark. By having that mirror, or someone planting seeds, or even tough love, it’s really needed for you to become conscious of what you’re doing. Our awareness expands from that. And it’s an ever evolving process. Finding an outlet is really key in being able to express. I feel a lot of the time, in society, there’s a pressure for there to be a reason to do something: We need things to achieve, to have success, to grow, to be fast, to be better. There’s actually a beautiful opportunity in doing something just to do it, to express, to experience, to feel, to just be in the moment. BEST MOMENTS ‘Expression is something I’ve been really thinking about recently, it’s such an important thing because it’s releasing energy.’ ‘From a young age I’d express myself through painting, drawing, collage, and all forms of art. More recently I’ve been expressing through dance and I’ve found that so powerful. There’s something in dance where, to be in the moment, you release all self-consciousness.’ ‘When you’re at the top of a diving board, thinking about the cold water, if you zoom out from it and actually know how you’re going to feel once you’ve dived, the release of everything that goes along with that, there’s a feeling of achievement and growth and you can see the benefit of doing it.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 5085 Tips To Living A Purpose-Driven Life – Paul D. Lowe & Denyse Mugabekazi

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Denyse Mugabekazi to give an African perspective to the phrase living a purpose-driven life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Living a purpose driven life for me means that a person should discover their mission on this Earth, what they are born to accomplish, why they have been created and after this they should align their life with their mission I had a dream, but I didn’t know how to accomplish it. I didn’t know how to start it. I didn’t know even if it was the right dream until one day I got up and decided to overcome my fear. I went through different phases and there are 5 tips which helped me to overcome my fear, discover my purpose and start living happily: 1) Have a healthy relationship with you 2) Know you talent and find your passion 3) Work on self-improvement 4) Set a goal and have a mission 5) Give help or support others in need. Don’t set strict deadlines when you want to achieve something, when you set strict deadlines you are making your life hard, you aren’t being fair with yourself. But, challenge yourself to achieve something bigger than you think you can achieve. Life is unpredictable and you shouldn’t limit yourself and stress yourself with deadlines because life can change quickly, you have to learn to cope with it and be patient in life, let life flow and move at its own pace. It’s never too late to achieve your goals, the key is to always have something that moves you ahead, your goal is your guide and you will have to work hard every day to achieve it, stay organised and having a goal will help you accomplish your goal in life. BEST MOMENTS ‘A person should get up every day thinking: “What am I going to do today and is my work from today going to accomplish my mission on this world?”’‘We all have a voice inside ourselves that guides our decisions, you should listen to your inner voice and see what it tells you. Don’t let others influence your life, make positive decisions for yourself.’‘If you compare yourself with others you will end up feeling like you are not loved. You need to love yourself first and then appreciate what you have.’‘Try to discover your passion by listening to your heart.’ 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 GUEST Denyse Mugabekazi is the Founder and Executive Director of GTH.

Ep 507Inspiring Insights Into Africa – Paul D. Lowe & Collins Mureithi

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Collins Mureithi to talk about inspiring stories from Africa, as Collins has been privileged to interact with people who are creating amazing impact in their communities throughout the continent as well as his home country of Kenya. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the things that really encourages and inspires me every day is when I meet people who are doing good in the community, who are trying their best to leave a legacy whereby others will be able to smile. I’ve been able to get the opportunity to mingle and interact with other people who are really making an amazing impact in their communities. One lady called Grace, in the South of Kenya, is doing peace programmes bringing young girls together and trains them on the importance of maintaining peace. She really inspires me because she’s just 23 years old and has an organisation that trains other young girls to become peace ambassadors. When I look at such kinds of people I’m able to see that this is the right place that I’m supposed to be. There’s a Muslim lady called Leila who lives on the coastal part of Kenya who is really engaged in building women in leadership. She’s a young leader, she’s really focussing on building her marginalised community. In Kenya Muslim ladies get a lot of opposition, they cannot talk where men are, they cannot go to the mosque and mingle with other women, they cannot hold certain positions. So, Leila is a force of change even though she’s having a lot of opposition from her community. Evans Odepo is passionate about volunteerism. He drives me crazy when he talks about volunteerism because he’ll talk about it from morning to evening. He tells me that one of the things that really brought him into the limelight and offered him an opportunity is volunteerism. He says volunteerism is the bridge to opportunities, but people think volunteerism is a waste of time, but it brings us opportunities, it helps us to really serve our purpose in life. Evans is a passionate volunteer who is also building young people in entrepreneurship and leadership in Nairobi, Kenya. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m addicted to positive impact. I love when people are happy, I love when people are able to get hold of resources that will help them, I love when people succeed in life and I want to put myself in a crowd that really thinks the same.’ ‘We are partners with the UN and one of the pillars that we follow is SDGs. Right now SDGs are the main focus as an organisation and as a person, these are things that really guide us to be able to contribute to more impact in our communities.’‘The word “relationship” is very powerful. I love stories and relationships have made me who I am because there are different forms of relationships and I love to talk about healthy relationships. When you apply and understand the art of healthy relationships, it really helps you build you as a person and it brings the community to be healthy.’ ‘A lot of people in Africa have had an upbringing whereby you think of others before you think of yourself. You want to make sure everybody is safe and comfortable but you don’t focus on yourself. But, if you don’t think of yourself you will not be able to have a healthy relationship. You attract who you are, if you don’t love yourself how can you love others?’ 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 GUEST Collins Mureithi is the founder of a grassroots youth-led organisation called Centre For Adolescent Young Change Makers.

Ep 506Mastering The Game Of Life – Paul D. Lowe & Kristin Johnson

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest and fellow World Game-Changers director, Kristin Johnson. The pair talk about the follow up book that they co-authored a few years ago, called Mastering The Game Of Life and some of the topics discussed in the last book. KEY TAKEAWAYS Do we ever master the game of life? Our process throughout life – in my personal perspective- is to master the game of life, whatever that looks like for each of us. It’s a broad question, but it’s unique to every human. A lot of people say they want to die having left a mark on the world, or leaving it a better place, or leaving their children better off than they were, or leaving a legacy for future generations, or having found love, or that they mattered. The big prize is somewhere in there, that you’re loved and love, you’ve made your mark either through fame and fortune or just in your local community where everybody knows you or that somehow you’ve contributed, that the people around you are better off because you were there, a bit like the movie It’s A Wonderful Life. Love requires a lot of oneself, I think, love requires sacrifice. If you love anything you’re going to give it your all in order for it to succeed. That doesn’t necessarily mean that if a parent loves a child they’re going to give in to everything the child wants because that’s really not love. Sometimes loving people means helping them be their best selves and making their own choices, even if it’s not something we entirely agree with, we can still support them. BEST MOMENTS ‘We say the word ‘love’ in a flippant way sometimes and what it means to love gets lost in the conversation.’‘So many people have a hard time receiving, especially women – we’re definitely givers – though some men are givers too. There’s nothing wrong with that, there’s a lot of power in that, but it’s about loving yourself first and loving life.’‘Addiction isn’t just about chemicals like alcohol, tobacco and drugs, it can be shopping, work and certainly the internet.’‘There’s a dark and a light side to everything, a yin and a yang.’ 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 GUEST Kristin Johnson is a prize-winning/prize-finalist writer, blogger, ghost-writing/creative writing consultant, screenwriter, and editor.

Ep 505Self-Empowering SEE Opportunities In Africa – Paul D. Lowe & Collins Mureithi

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest Collins Mureithi to talk about self-empowering opportunities in sport, education and employment in Kenya. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I think about self-empowering in SEE opportunities, one thing that comes into my mind is making a conscious decision to change your destiny, because this involves a lot of positive choices, a lot of taking action to some of the things that we see in our community. Just having the ability to be able to make or execute decisions for the betterment of the community, or personally. Taking charge of something that you’ve seen as an opportunity and offering a solution. I’ve been able to interact with people in Kenya and I know that identifying an opportunity and offering a solution are two different things. You’ll find a lot of people identify problems, but they lack the zeal to offer solutions to some of the opportunities. On the other hand, we have a lot of people in Kenya that have already identified problems and are offering solutions, but they aren’t known. We need to see how we can position these people in the limelight in order to encourage others. Education comes in different forms, people have formal education and can access opportunities, in rural communities people have informal education like skills. We focus on skills education because this helps people to gain the knowledge and skills to do something like agriculture and mechanics. Everybody has a purpose in life, work on yours, serve your purpose through life. It doesn’t matter what you have, use what you have to change other people’s lives and serve your purpose. It is upon you to ask what is my purpose and how can I serve it in a simple way that I can do without having to focus on big, unattainable achievements. BEST MOMENTS ‘It comes with understanding your weaknesses as well as your strengths, you learn from them so that you can achieve what you want to achieve.’ ‘Education opens opportunities and empowerment. Once you know something you are able to offer solutions to something.’ ‘We empower young people in Kenya to be leaders who will become agents of positive change in their community. We do that through setting up a centre, we train them in different skills and they become problem solvers.’ ‘If you don’t have money or resources, use what you have: Your purpose is about going out there, sharing love and doing good for others.’ 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 GUEST Collins Mureithi is the founder of a grassroots youth-led organisation called Centre For Adolescent Young Change Makers.

Ep 504Awareness-Raising And Purposeful Communication – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by returning guest and fellow director of World Game-Changers, Rebecca Wheele, to talk about LEGs 1 and 2 of the WGC 10 LEGs, Awareness Raising and Purposeful Communication and Expanding Good Health and Wellbeing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Let’s talk about addiction and overcoming addiction. Addiction shows up in so many ways and there are so many levels of it. It seems to be a cycle, a need to be in a state of something else or escaping from the moment. It comes into the six human needs: I need certainty, I need control and even I need uncertainty and variety. Communication is an art and the more that we do and the more that we practice it, not in the pursuit of perfection, but to really convey our message in a way that’s going to be really well received by people. You’re going to be judged, but you’re going to be judged anyway, so you may as well be judged for doing something you want to do rather than being judged and constrained by what the outside world expects and wants you to do. There’s great freedom in that. I feel like sometimes I can’t fully convey in words what I could convey, which speaks to this feeling of always wanting to be the best version of yourself. But you’ll never reach your potential because you’re always expanding and there are always lessons, and the mistakes help towards the lessons BEST MOMENTS ‘We’re all in pursuit of perfection, but it doesn’t matter. We all ‘err’ and ‘umm’. Don’t give yourself a hard time over it. Let it go.’ ‘As humans we can lose sight of looking after ourselves. Just be gentle with yourself. There’s a lot of external pressure and expectation no matter what role we play in life, particularly on social media.’ ‘Be prepared to dance on life’s floor without expectation, without outcome, without pressure. Kiss the Sun, touch the Moon, be creative, try new things.’ ‘We become better dancers by choosing better dance partners. There’s merit in the saying: We become the sum of the five people we spend most time with.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 502Welcome To Africa, And Our 10 LEGs! – Paul D. Lowe & Crystal J. Swanigan

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Crystal J. Swanigan to talk around Africa, and WGC's 10 LEGs. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s extremely important to raise awareness of the other continents so that they know we’re there for one, but that they have human needs just like we have needs, that we are all threaded together. That awareness has to be awakened. Stigmas exist that we’d like to see changed. What breaks my heart is the stories from Africa of people not having the proper medication and vaccines for Covid and seeing people in other countries not wanting to take the vaccines they had. Not that anyone should be made to have it, it was the availability, they had a choice which wasn’t there in Africa. I’d like to see that choice become more an option for the people in Africa. Our health is our wealth. Education is important to better our world. People in different countries don’t have the same viewpoint and could give a totally different perspective and may be able to bring cures, become scientists, teachers, preachers and do so many other things that we, with privileges, may never have thought of. It’s also important to get them employed and get money flowing through their homes. A lot of children have to leave school and get badly paid jobs to look after their families because they are lacking. Individual, prosperous living. Those are the desires of people who live in Africa, they want to have the prosperous life that Americans and people in other continents have. It’s amazing how people will do anything to get to America, they can’t see themselves as being prosperous where they are and so they focus on going somewhere else. That’s not living, that’s existing. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are a part of the world along with the other continents, lets blend and work together to help one another and grow together in this life.’ ‘Nothing just happens by coincidence… If we cross paths it’s for a reason.’ ‘When they see hope your mind becomes more illuminated, you can see the push that’s on the inside and they don’t mind taking the responsibility if there’s a reward.’ ‘I believe there is good in everyone, partnering and networking is important because you find your match. No man is an island, we need each other. Collaboration will complete the missions all over the globe.’ 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 GUEST Crystal J.

Ep 503Welcome To North America, And Our 10 LEGs! - Paul D. Lowe & Martin Leifeld

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Martin Leifeld to talk about some of the challenges that present in North America and the WGC’s 10 LEGs (Life Enhancing Goals) and how they could benefit North America. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of things I’m most aware of when we talk about North America is we’re talking about two dozen countries, and countries that are prosperous, like the United States, and countries that are deeply impoverished and troubled, like Haiti. As we go about trying to develop this concept of World Game-Changers North America, and an identity and an entity to serve those citizens, it’s far bigger than the US, almost 55% come from other countries with other cultures, points of view and so on. The US is famous for scattered communications of all kinds, an overwhelming amount of communications that’s purposeless, or of a purpose that you wish was not being presented and brought to the attention of the globe. We produce all kinds of content, the good, the bad, the ugly, the very best, the very worst. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m so excited the World Game-Changers have globally developed these 10 LEGs as a framework for our focus and how we organise ourselves and to who we look to first in those areas to support the diversity of not just the group, but the world.’ ‘A balanced life is something we’re really focused on, we’re people who understand we have to love ourselves in order to love and serve others powerfully.’ ‘American’s have certainly taken a disproportionate amount of the world’s resources to make it what it has become, for better or for worse. When I think about that I think that begins with awareness.’ ‘Plastic has helped revolutionise the world and it’s also seriously damaging the world. What can we do to be more mindful and reduce our consumption and use of plastics, as convenient as it may be?’ 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 GUEST Martin Leifeld, advisor, author, and speaker directed the raising of over $500 million dollars during his 24 years of fundraising leadership in the St. Louis region, last serving as vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Ep 501Welcome To The UK, And Our Ten LEGs! – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this first episode of a new phase of the World Game-Changers podcast, where we will focus specifically on areas around the world, Paul is joined by returning guest Rebecca Wheele to talk about the WGC’s 10 Legs – Life Enhancing Goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Leg 1: Awareness raising and purposeful communication. Leg 2: Expanding good health and wellbeing. Leg 3: Self-empowering S.E.E. (sport, education and employment) opportunities. Leg 4: Responsible and mindful consumption. Leg 5: Individuals prosperous living. Leg 6: Purposeful partnerships and relationships. Leg 7: Ethical business and entrepreneurship. Leg 8: Financial sustainability and positive impact. Leg 9: Life on land and below water. Leg 10: Prosperous global communities. I see this podcast as sharing our vulnerable stories of what we’ve gone through in our lives, what we’ve found challenging, what we’ve overcome, and in doing that it raises awareness of all different issues and topics. It’s not just money, there’s so much to living a prosperous life. Having peace and peace of mind is a big one. Jim Carey says he hopes everyone gets rich and famous so they realise it’s not the answer. BEST MOMENTS ‘We need strong riverbanks to hold the flow that comes from within.’ ‘L.I.Ps – Love-Inspired Projects sit underneath each Leg, so every Leg will have a focus that’s quite definite, and underneath each one of those will fit a relevant project where we can reach out to local people anywhere in the world and meet their needs.’ ‘We can all relate to feeling burdened by all of our thoughts and past experiences and stories, but we have to let go.’ ‘Ethical business should be about supporting mother earth and not just being in business purely to make money, looking at the big picture and how it can serve and be beneficial for the collective.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 500Co-Creating Summits & Investing With Impact! – Paul D. Lowe & Jason Kehoe

On this special celebration 500th episode of the World Game-Changers Podcast, Paul is joined by Jason Kehoe to chat about investment and achieving greater summits, as well as reflect over the previous 499 episodes, and the conversations that have been had over the last four years. KEY TAKEAWAYS Don’t litter. Clean up after yourself in everything that you do and you will leave a very good footprint for your family and the future. Beliefs are down to each individual, it’s like nature or nurture, it’s what we’re fed from a young age. I’ve had many debates with people over the years about how individuals turn out. Is it nature or nurture? There’s advantages and pulses on both sides. With regards to awareness, you have to be aware to pick up things. Creativity comes from nature, I think you’re born with that. You can go to art school and learn to be creative, but I believe that initial spark comes from within. With no internet connection we communicate more. Commuting in London there’s no interaction, everybody is face down in a small piece of plastic and that’s their life. If you take those away then people do communicate. Since I’ve been in Romania – my in-laws live a very simple life, they work and live off the land and they sit down in the evening to dinner that they’ve not bought from Marks & Spencer or Sainsbury’s, it’s come from their back garden. And we sit down and we talk into the night. That’s what I think is really missing from this world, technology has been fantastic in some ways but it’s been really detrimental for humankind in another. My Father left home when I was 7-year-old and I was always trying to please people, be the funny one, the class joker, getting people to like me, thinking that was the best way forward. Somebody said to me only a couple of years ago: “Jason, be true to yourself.” That’s the biggest lesson I’ve ever learned. My battery was being used on other people that don’t really care for me, so I’ve learned now to be true to myself. If I don’t agree with something, Jason of the past would nod and say nothing, now I won’t be confrontational, but I will be true to myself and I have a choice to use my feet and walk away. I’ve instilled that into my children from an early age that everyone has choices. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can have all of these cars and all of these digits in the band, but what good is it without your health?’ ‘Word-of-mouth is as strong as anything. Going back thousands of years there was no internet and no other form of communication other than mouth. People would sit around campfires and tell stories from their past and those stories would travel as people travelled. We’ve learned what to do and what not to do from previous experiences from other people’s lives.’ ‘If you look at the 86,400 seconds that make up a day as currency, how we spend it is important. Time is precious, you can never get it back again.’ ‘When money’s tight love can go out the window. You can’t live off love only, you can do a lot of things with love but money is a necessity, unfortunately, and you should also spend it wisely. But love is the most important thing. It was around 5,000 years ago and, god willing, it’ll be around in 5,000 years' time.’ 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 GUEST Jason Kehoe is an accomplished and recognised Director demonstrating significant successes, achievements and experience across a range of positions across finance, investment and sales.

Ep 499Wealth In Today's World (Part 2) – Paul D. Lowe & Andrew Batt

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest and World Game-Changers director, Andrew Batt, for the second in a two-part episode about wealth in today’s world. They look at it from two angles, firstly around what’s happening in the outside world (crypto, etc), and in this episode they talk about wealth from a more personal perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s not widely known that I am a dyslexic thinker – I think it’s a bit of a superpower because it gives me the opportunity to think differently. When someone talks to me about wealth I don’t think of big houses, cars, holidays, I actually start to think about the wealth that people can bring to the table whether that’s knowledge, experience, expertise, contacts. Within World Game-Changers, part of what we’re trying to do is empower young people and let them air their voices. We’re only on this planet for so long and what you and I think is good for the planet, people two or three generations younger than us might not have the same views. If we don’t do anything to help the environment, the environment’s not going to be around long enough for the future generations. I got told as a kid you should respect your elders and I’ve always learned from people who are older than me because, as far as I’m concerned, they’ve been on the planet longer so therefore nine time out of ten by default they have more experience than me or they’ve got different experience than me, either way I’m going to learn something. I spent over ten years travelling with wealthy clients and there was always one thread: All of them that had kids said they were so hell-bent on expanding their family’s wealth in all aspects that they forgot the one thing they were doing it for – their kids. They said they’d blink and they were at the university graduation, 23 years had blinked past and they’ve got all the things they want but they missed out on their kids. BEST MOMENTS ‘I have a cheeky sense of humour and I like to make people laugh and smile and I try to bring that into my work life as well.’ ‘We’re our own worst enemies in the world, but we’re also our best resource to rectify the problems we create.’ ‘We have a responsibility as humans to look after the planet, not just for us but for future generations.’ ‘I don’t ever want to stop learning. Learning and growth go hand in hand and we should continue to grow until we’re no longer here.’ 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 GUEST Andrew Batt is a business expert and property specialist with a passion for helping others.

Ep 498Let Your No Be A No, And Your Yes Be A Yes – Bob Conlin

On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents the last of his series of episodes on relationships, Bob wraps up with a conversation focused on the relationship we have to ourselves and looking through the particular lens of how we choose, decide, say 'no', and say 'yes'. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the most important things we can do for our experience of life is to understand the relationship we have with ourselves and to understand the relationships we have with the ones we love and those that we lead. We talked about the investment of what it would take to hire me. It’s an investment of time – typically 60 minutes a week spent on calls – it’s also energy, the amount of energy required to take yourself on and look at your life in a distinguished way, look at your relationships in a distinguished way. It takes something to be in so much awareness about your life and what is there, what is not, what the gap is and then to do something about it and take that uncomfortable action takes a lot of energy. Finally, there is an investment in money to spend on your own growth and development, to hire a partner to push you outside of your comfort zone, to hold you accountable where you’d normally stop, and to keep you connected to this beautiful vision of what’s possible in your life, to keep you enrolled in it. More times than not, when we get to money everything shifts. How many times in your life have you said ‘yes’ and you didn’t mean it? Maybe you said it to end a conversation and promised to follow up with them knowing full-well you wouldn’t. What does the fear need? What would make you more comfortable? What’s actually in the way? Be in conversation about it and find a way something can happen. If you’re a ‘yes’, be a ‘yes’ or a ‘yes and…’ or a ‘yes but…’ or a ‘yes and I’m going to figure out how to make this happen’. Is your ‘no’ really a no? Is it a way to let yourself off the hook from doing the work, making the uncomfortable conversation, saying the thing that needs to be said, settling or tolerating things in your life that you actually don’t want but are unwilling to get uncomfortable enough to make the change happen. Often we’re a ‘no’ out of fear because we don’t have a guarantee of what’s going to happen on the other side, we are or could be completely thrust into the unknown so we simply say ‘no’ because that’s easier, it keeps us in our comfort zone and keeps us knowing what there is to know, keeps us knowing our current life experience. The challenge that comes with that is if you’re not where you want to be why do you keep saying no? Why is the no still there? BEST MOMENTS ‘Our ‘yes’ should always be a yes and our ‘no’ should always be a no, but the way it typically goes is not that.’ ‘My goal, as a coach, is to get my clients to see new possibilities and, if I’ve done my job, they are then ‘enrolled’ in what could be possible in their lives.’ ‘Are you a ‘yes’ for this or are you a ‘no’? For you to choose at this moment is probably a breakthrough.’ ‘No 'is a powerful word. Use it as a full sentence. It saves so many people so much time.’ 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 GUEST Bob is a Life, Love and Leadership champion, author, coach, trainer, husband, father, and a professional certified coach with the International Coach Federation.

Ep 497It's Good To Talk, Even About Nothing! – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Rebecca Wheele, to talk about whatever comes into their heads rather than have a focused conversation - expecting a definite result. KEY TAKEAWAYS The idea of always having to have an outcome or a reason to do a thing… maybe the beauty is in the moment. That’s a good metaphor for life: The beauty is seeing what emerges in the moment and that connection of two people dancing and conversing and seeing where it goes brings in an element of mystery, where’s it going to go, what’s going to happen? There’s gold to be found in the not knowing. The feeling of needing to be in control makes sense in a lot of ways because we’re completely out of control: We get born into this world and there are so many things we just don’t know, so it makes sense that it would give us some comfort to have some control. BEST MOMENTS ‘We get so caught in the business of achieving and doing and having reasons for everything that we’re doing. But art and music are an expression often for no particular reason or goal.’ ‘The truth and the place it’s coming from is letting go of our egos. If we’re having a conversation where our egos are leading the way, we’re not going to go anywhere with that, we’ve got to let go of the ego and speak from the heart.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 496What Will Be Will Be, Or Will It ? – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Rebecca Wheele, to talk about the statement ‘what will be will be’, and whether there’s any changing it. KEY TAKEAWAYS To a certain degree we can take action and make things happen or create change. But, at the same time, there are things that can happen that are out of our control. SO, there’s a fine balance between them both. In my life I’ve definitely had a tendency to procrastinate and sometimes I’ve lent on ‘what will be will be’ to avoid taking an action and to leave it in the hands of the world. Divine forces and greater energy and the divinity of the Earth, universe, cosmos etc is greater than we can conceive of so there are always these forces at play in our lives as well. Being attuned to that and listening and being still and in connection with that to help guide us is massively helpful. I’ve learned that taking action and moving things forwards doesn’t always look as it may seem. If I was looking to create art or something, I would sit down and start getting paints ready, which looks like taking action. But actually what I’ve often found is that I get a bit stuck and blocked and I’m not in the right space. So, the action is actually going to sit in a quiet space, meditate and tap into what it is that I’m actually doing and what am I trying to create? Paradoxically, doing that is taking action that lays the foundation for being able to create a good piece of art. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s a reason for everything that happens.’ ‘As long as you take the learning from a situation and let go of the rest and then just trust that it’s all happening in the way it’s meant to be happening.’ ‘We can definitely get caught sometimes in being a ‘busy fool’ because it feels productive to be doing all these things. Be guided by the divine and trust your intuition.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 495The Naked Truth – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Rebecca Wheele, to talk about the term ‘the naked truth’ and what it means to them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Generally, in society, we all wear clothes and we don’t walk around naked and perhaps there’s a slight uncomfortableness around being physically naked. But, there’s also being naked in a vulnerable sense where you’re being honest, open and truthful. The more we trust ourselves the more we can infuse and put the energy of trust out into the world and it can manifest in everything that we do. The different roles we play in life and the different masks that we wear, sometimes for protection, and there’s nothing wrong with that if we’re all dancing with each other in different dynamics and different ways. We’re all slightly different depending on our role – a mother is different at home than at work – there will be different energies that we bring. A truth of mine is that I get very nervous about things, even talking about it in this space. In my life I’ve tried to put on a mask that says I’ve got everything figured out and there’s a professionalism that I’ve adopted through my work, for example having a phone voice, but it’s become intertwined with myself very closely. Over the last couple of years I’ve worked to peel back the layers and it’s quite a vulnerable space to be in. BEST MOMENTS ‘Truth is not always a pretty thing (the ugly truth). But, truth is truth.’ ‘How much we trust ourselves feeds into how much we can trust in life and other people.’ ‘Perhaps in the very very centre of it all is the relationship we have with ourselves and being truthful to ourselves, because if we can’t be truthful to ourselves or if there’s anything we’ve not being truthful to ourselves about, there’s no one else we can be truthful with. That’s where it starts.’ ‘Words hold power and energy and we have different ideas of and experiences with these words. We’re all looking at things from our own perspective so it may mean different things to different people.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 494Wealth In Today's World (Part 1) – Paul D. Lowe & Andrew Batt

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest and World Game-Changers director, Andrew Batt, for the first of a two-part episode about wealth in today’s world. They look at it from two angles, firstly around what’s happening in the outside world (crypto, etc), and in the second episode they’ll talk about wealth from a more personal perspective. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are a lot more opportunities that have presented themselves over the last couple of years. Crypto, for example, is a decentralised finance platform, and as with anything like this there’ opportunities for investment. There’s obviously risks involved as with any type of investments like NFTs (non-fungible tokens), property, stocks and shares. There’s a lot of shift in society as well, local to us the sense of community is being built up again, so the concept of wealth and how to generate and utilise it are changing. Everyone’s always trying to obtain more. Yes, we’ve got to put roofs over our heads and food on the table, running a car. But for two years we hit pause and that gave people the time to stop and take stock and ask why the hell am I on this treadmill every day? I came into a lot of money in my early 20s and by my mid-20s I was £50,000 in debt because I was spending like a 1%er. Perhaps I needed to go through that right or wrong? But at the time I was a tax exile and I couldn’t invest that wealth where I wanted to and where it would serve me very well. At the same time, my Mum invested in another home and that’s quadrupled in value in the last 20 years. Most people say “I wish I invested in ‘x’ back then”, the one thing we can’t do is time travel – that I’m aware of – what I tend to do is use hindsight to create my foresight. Then I’m able to make better decisions in the present. None of us have got a crystal ball. NFTs and crypto could be normal currencies in 20 years’ time. It’s a constant evolution. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m not a big fan of going backwards. We evolve, so going backwards feels like the wrong direction. But having a bigger sense of community for me is a good thing, especially in collaborative business. You go faster and further when you do it together.’ ‘2021 in the UK saw a 20% increase in new business startups, people transferring from employment into entrepreneurship, that shows you there is a shift in what people are after, what they value and what they require.’ ‘Most people don’t have the needs and wants to obtain the kind of wealth the 1% have.’ ‘There’s talk that in the next 5-10 years that 50% of the workforce will be artificial intelligence, so the way we work is going to shift as well.’ 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 GUEST Andrew Batt is a business expert and property specialist with a passion for helping others.

Ep 493Relationship To Service – Bob Conlin and My Bee-Bowman

In this episode, we hear from guest host Bob Conlin, a coach and relationship champion and nurse and coach My Bee-Bowman. They discuss Bee’s lifetime dedication and relationship to service and how this developed into creating a charity in Kenya. They also talk about mindset, creating solutions and always wanting to be the change you want to see in the world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Bee went to Kenya in 2012 and recognised a need to help the children there, to receive education and safety. She has since created a non-profit Sponsors for Kenya, which includes opening an orphanage and school. You don’t have to do huge things to have a positive impact, Bee demonstrates this in her mindset and how she always approaches helping and serving others. Bee’s work with Sponsors for Kenya has started to pave the way for the community she works with to be self-sustaining. But even her work so far has had an immeasurable impact on the lives of the children there. BEST MOMENTS “There are times in your life when you meet certain people and there’s just an immediate connection there” “I started with nothing so anything I would give would be free” “Keep it simple and keep moving towards the outcome you are looking at achieving” 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 GUEST My Bee-Bowman https://www.sponsorsforkenya.org https://www.instagram.com/sponsorsforkenya/?hl=en 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 and fulfilling life.

Ep 492Don't Let Sexual Assaults Define You! – Paul D. Lowe & Jenn Junod

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest Jenn Junod for a short but deep and powerful discussion about her story of surviving sexual abuse, something that would set most people back for a long time, if not the rest of their lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was sexually abused as a child from the ages of 8-10 and then also raped at the age of 17. There are still times I struggle with what I went through even though one incident was 25 years ago and another was 20 years ago. It doesn’t matter when it happened, we worked so hard on burying or over-compensating for the issue or never dealing with it, there’s a time and a place for all of us to work through it even if it comes up again and again. Recovery is not a linear journey, it is something I feel like I get through and am doing great, but a few weeks or even years later I feel like I need to deal with it again. I don’t want to, but I have to. I was promiscuous for a long time because I was looking to be loved and I thought that was how to be intimate with someone. It wasn’t until I was almost 30 and found a healthy relationship that I started working through a lot of these issues I was having. I never felt worthy, so I kept going from relationship to relationship that was very toxic, that would take advantage of me, with gas-lighting or with narcissists. I always felt like I was putting in so much and I would get burned out or realise that after a few years that they were treating me horribly and get out. There’s a difference between authenticity and vulnerability. Authenticity is being open to sharing and vulnerability is talking about how you feel about it. I can talk about all the things I’ve been through in bullet points, which is very authentic and I can share it with anyone. Yet, where I have been very detached and go in and out is being detached from feeling about any of these things. It’s how I got through a lot of the things I went through; detaching myself from the situation. I knew they happened and I could tell you about them and some of the experiences, but I couldn’t tell you how they made me feel because I was so detached I didn’t know how they felt. Yet through therapy, self-development courses and being in a healthy relationship, now I have found that I feel disgusting at times because I think about it. When we go through trauma our body keeps score, and this shows up as depression and anxiety etc, but it can also lead to auto-immune diseases and the body not digesting as well, so many other things because our body is harbouring these feelings that are happening to us. Research has shown how our emotional and mental state can really affect our physical state. BEST MOMENTS ‘I like to think of it and work through my past trauma as a bus where I go to the destination and I feel like I’ve worked on it, but I get to another destination, and I realise I have to go back one stop before I go forwards one stop.’ ‘It wasn’t until I started working on my own self-worth that I found a good relationship. We’ve been together almost 5 years. But there have been times when my body goes into fight or flight mode, or I freeze, when my partner goes to cuddle with me in the morning and I first wake up with him touching me.’ ‘These are things that affect us life-long, and it’s our choice to be responsible for how we react and how we move through it.’ ‘When I’m on any kind of public transport and someone touches me, because they are sitting next to me, I’m on high alert because I don’t know what they’ll do next.’ 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 GUEST Jenn has a story of her own. As a child, she suffered solitary confinement, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, rape, divorce, abortion, cutting, and suicide attempts. Her turbulent background has forged a path to help those who are suffering, ignored and silenced. Sh!t You Don’t Want to Talk About is a place people can come to find hope and healing, to know they are not alone, and to finally be heard. Clearly, Jenn’s been through plenty of sh!t most people probably don’t want to even acknowledge, let alone talk about. She thought she’d dealt with her past, but brain surgery in November 2020 unleashed a tsunami of memories that couldn’t be ignored. Working through trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar type 2, and ADHD will be a lifelong journey. Jenn strives to break the stigma of Sh!t You Don't Talk About and turn it into Sh!t 2 Talk About.

Ep 491Unsung Heroes – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Rebecca Wheele, to continue talking about the importance of touch which they started in the last episode. This time they focus on the importance of touch to ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS We live in this world as we are, we can touch other people’s lives and we can help them, but maybe there’s a tendency to leave ourselves to the side sometimes or forget ourselves in the process. Arguably, the more important thing is to touch our own lives so that we’re able to be in the space to be able to help others. When I was learning to be a lifeguard, I was told – when you jump in the pool to rescue someone, if that person is flailing about they’re causing the potential for you to go down with them. We were taught to push away from them at a certain point, which is an interesting concept because we’re all taught to help others and love and connect. But, perhaps we can get too caught up in that and you’ve got to be careful to protect yourself from being drawn into other people’s dramas and what’s going on in their lives which affects our abilities to show up and be there. BEST MOMENTS ‘Independence from a place of lack – like, I’m not capable of doing this, I must be independent so I prove I can stay strong by myself – then you need to have a look at that. If it’s coming from a place of love where you don’t need others because you feel good in yourself then that’s OK, but it ebbs and flows throughout life.’ ‘When you are wounded by someone else – either physically or mentally – you can start to mistrust people and a story of mistrust can start to play out in your life, understandably. Trust is key because depending on other people is the best thing for the collective whole.’ ‘Being true to yourself and expressing from the heart is so important and is so inspirational for other people to see that, especially if they are struggling, and can create a ripple effect of love.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 490Soulful Leaders – Paul D. Lowe & Rebecca Wheele

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Rebecca Wheele, to talk about the importance of touch under a health related topic. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is touch? There are different forms: physical touch and connecting to someone energetically. When I was learning massage, my class remarked that – even though we weren’t very good at it at the beginning – just that touch, that human connection really did something. It’s really important and I think that maybe we’ve lost track of that a bit in society now. I’ve always enjoyed giving massages and that hands-on helping someone. I’m really drawn to the healing element of it. The spiritual is at the top and it’s the smallest part, but paradoxically it’s also the biggest because it underpins everything. The physical and are also both ever-present in the semp triangle. Perhaps it’s a circle because they are so intertwined and present. We’re taught in school that this is the way things are and it’s all fixed, but it’s not, it’s fluid and flexible and we don’t have to go with the thought that ‘this is how it is’, question it, dance with it and play with it, otherwise we’re confined to these ways of thinking that may or may not serves us. BEST MOMENTS ‘The physical touch then sparks a connection on an energetic level as well. They are intertwined, very much, and one isn’t more important than the other, like the Yin and Yang, they flow and feed the other one.’ ‘I’ve always enjoyed giving massages and that hands-on feeling of helping someone. I’m really drawn to the healing element of it.’ ‘It’s the angle of where we are and the perspective, to have a more holistic view we need to change that angle.’ 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 GUEST Rebecca is an artist and designer based in the South of England.

Ep 489What Makes A Great Leader ? (Part 2) – Paul D. Lowe & David Roberts

In this episode Paul is joined by David Roberts to talk about wealth and what part it might play in influencing a leader’s thinking. KEY TAKEAWAYS The moment you hear the word “wealth” you think of money but, if you look at the origins of the word, it’s origins are steeped in well-being and health. I look at the whole concept of wealth – especially when linked to leadership – as about outcomes. The outcomes you’re looking to create as a leader include financial outcomes, service-related outcomes and making a difference or a change. Money is not a dirty word, it’s a measure of value. If you look at money/relationships/the service you offer/deliver on your promise to the customer as a currency , they’re all valid measures of wealth. Another way of looking at wealth is as value – the difference that you make in other people’s lives. I believe that leadership is actually a role of service. If you want to be somebody you need to serve somebody. That starts with yourself, but when it comes to the service of others, that’s how your role as a leader manifests. One has to think about the effect one’s parents had on one’s life. It doesn’t matter how “good” a mum and/or a dad you think you were, they had an effect on you and that came with the values, the environment they created. Some may be under/over protected and both types of people have unique characteristics to learn about themselves and resolve. It’s definitely an influential role. BEST MOMENTS ‘What wealth means really depends on the circumstances and the motivations of the individual or the organisation.’ ‘Taking the full breadth of the definition of wealth into account, there’s lots of opportunity there. If you only think of it as money and from a financial point of view you can come across as being very single-minded and that’s where the unhelpful connotations come across.’ ‘The role of motherhood is definitely a key leadership role in the same way that fatherhood is also a key role.’ ‘Working out what you want in life and what differences you want to make for other people will give you a really firm starting point. From there you can make decisions about what you do to create a perfect day and work towards making it happen.’ 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 GUEST David Roberts is the MD of NU-Heat, an underfloor heating and renewables company.

Ep 488Intercultural Relationships (Part 2) – Bob Conlin & Rubria Mendoza

On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time he has a guest, Rubria Mendoza, for the second of a two-part episode on cultural relationships. For example, how an intercultural relationship can impact our children. KEY TAKEAWAYS In our family, coming from different backgrounds and cultures, it’s been interesting the way we’ve raised our children. It’s taken a lot of communication, tons of patience for my husband and I. We had a little bit of an advantage in that before we had our kids we spoke a lot about when we had kids and we said we’d have an agreement and that we’d stick to it. It’s really helped us. Now that we have our kids – two girls aged 6 and 8 – how do we raise them? It was interesting in the first years, coming from different cultures and especially the experiences I had as a kid in Mexico, I’ve passed things on to them that my American husband doesn’t understand and vice versa. For example, we don’t talk to kids about certain things till they get to a certain age, but in the US they do. My husband was explaining how a car works in technical detail and I wondered why he was overwhelming her with information, but he says they need to be engaged and pushed, but I said ‘no’, they shouldn’t be pushed, they are kids and don’t need to be pushed like that yet. Having children has definitely expanded my husband’s and my opportunities to learn from each other. Our communication has improved because we have two little ones that are following us and we have different cultures to be proud of. BEST MOMENTS ‘We agreed 12 years ago that one thing we’d do is to let our kids fail to help them learn. We’d be there to make sure they’d always have a safe spot here with us to come back to and show that failing is part of life and how they can get strong from that.’ ‘There’s a way that I was brought up that I think is correct, but there is a different way that works too, and it’s fine.’ ‘We both wanted our kids to be raised to have both languages, English and Spanish. We’re fortunate that at school they combine the 64 languages from all the backgrounds of the children studying there. Now they want to learn all the languages and about the cultures, which is expanding their knowledge and empathy, which we encourage.’ 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 GUESTS Bob is a Life, Love and Leadership champion, author, coach, trainer, husband, father, and a professional certified coach with the International Coach Federation.

She has over 20 years of experience in a variety of areas such as accounting, organising events and expos, and process management. The variety of industries she has been involved in, has given her the opportunity to learn that one of the most valuable resources we all have is each other. She believes in the power of teamwork and that in order to accomplish that, people have to form partnerships with the ones we interact in our day-to-day activities. To build strong circles, that then become strong communities. She likes to put that idea into action whenever she has the opportunity to contribute, helping friends, family, co-workers to expand their potential, and achieve common and personal goals.

Ep 487My Most Important Messages To The World (Part 2) – Paul D. Lowe & Avery Thatcher

On this episode Paul is joined for the second part of his conversation with Avery Thatcher to talk further about how having a childlike curiosity relates to health KEY TAKEAWAYS When we resist the changes that life throws at us, that’s where our health starts to suffer. It shows up in different ways like stress, burnout, digestive issues, etc. But, when we have curiosity, we’re able to embrace what comes at us. Our bodies don’t like change, at a physiological level. We are built to maintain the status quo – homeostasis is the biological term for it – and when we do something that steps us outside of that, whether it be to challenge our bodies in different ways by starting a new exercise routine or when we experience stressful events like a global pandemic, when we try to do something new like learning a new language, our body sees that as something that’s abnormal and unsafe. Our body then responds in the same way as if a bear were running at us. It’s hard to learn to embrace that childlike curiosity if you don’t know how to master your stress switch. Part of the journey is learning where beliefs are on the spectrum of serving vs sabotaging. Thoughts, beliefs, patterns that we live in, I don’t think they’re inherently good or bad, they either serve or sabotage. My high achieving nature pushes me to learn and grow and expand my impact in this world. Out of balance, it leaves me burned out, exhausted, stressed out and experiencing all the physical side-effects of stress. But, if it’s serving me then I’m in a space of clarity and alignment. Music has been a massive healing tool for me. There are a number of songs that bring on the emotions that I’m looking for. If I feel an emotion is stuck and I need help expressing it, I know which song I need to go to and I completely immerse myself in that song and let it go. One of the most impactful songs that really helped my heel along my journey of becoming Avery, was a song that was written for the musical ‘The Waitress’ called ‘She Used To Be Mine’. BEST MOMENTS ‘The more that we try to control the more we realise we can’t. Control is like trying to carry a bunch of apples.’ ‘Letting go and trusting is incredibly unsafe, it really ramps up our bodies. So, we need to know how to control our stress switch and to make sure we are in alignment with the purpose and mission that we are going for. It’s easier to let things go when you have clarity on what is meant to be held on to.’ ‘When we don’t try to resist what’s happening and we go with the flow, let go and really embrace the curiosity of the experience, that’s when we can really enjoy the ride of life.’ 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 GUEST Avery Thatcher says: The truth is I’ve never really felt like Heather, but then I know it’s normal to not always like your name. Over the course of my life, I’ve walked through a lot of struggle and trauma which changed me over time. This gradual change is something that I think we can all relate to and is just a part of the human experience. However, on December 25, 2018 I experienced a massive change in my life that happened literally overnight. I was working 12 hour shift work in a paediatric ICU and I was coming off the night shift and I remember the Charge Nurse coming up to me and saying “Heather, you really don’t look good. I’m going to mark you down as sick tonight. Feel better!” I went home and slept for 20 hours straight. And I did that the next day. And the day after that. After nearly a year of painful medical procedures, surgery to remove a thyroid mass and half my thyroid, and multiple specialists investigations and tests, it was determined that I was now the proud owner of a chronic illness and permanent disability known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. (I call this part of me Emmy – get it? M.E. Emmy? I thought I was clever) I worked hard for nearly three years to get back to some form of normal, and in September 2021 I realised that was never going to happen. I was no longer Heather. I was no longer a Registered Nurse capable of working in an ICU. I was no longer able to be as active as I was used to being. I was no longer the weight I was used to being. I was no longer the person I was used to being. I realised I was no longer at home in my body. I wasn’t connected to my previous identity at all and it was causing some strong PTSD dreams, intrusive thoughts and anxiety. So after talking about it with my husband and therapist, I

Ep 486Unsung Heroes Of Africa, It's Time To Unite! – Paul D. Lowe & Collins Mureithi

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined for a second time by Collins Mureithi to talk about what the term ‘unsung heroes’ means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS Unsung heroes are people, leaders or champions who are doing something with impact wherever they are without recognition. There’s a lot of negative media out there and people don’t want to share good stories, but we have a lot of heroes in Kenya, a lot of people doing amazing stuff. I have a non-profit group of about 50 young leaders who are impacting their communities every day, even without resources, but these stories are not shared or highlighted by the media. But we who are doing it are committed to continue doing it and raising other people to understand that you can change the conversation and make people aware of the good stories. There are a lot of challenges. Coming up with an initiative or organisation is not easy. I decided to be a soulful leader in my community – a hero – because I started that organisation with no resources because I wanted to inspire people. But you can’t do much without resources. We’re now moving into a new bigger office and young people are starting to come to us because they feel safe with us., but we need more IT facilities to help them. Heroes never see challenges as roadblocks, heroes see challenges as stepping stones to move to the next level. BEST MOMENTS ‘When I want people to know about what I’m doing as a soulful leader, I start by living that as a person and doing what I know is right and being what I want them to see.’ ‘I started a non-profit organisation just to build young leaders who will become agents of positive change in their communities. It’s a safe space where people can come and we can have these conversations.’ ‘There’s an issue of ‘dependency syndrome’ among Africans, they depend on being given thongs. That’s a mindset that we as an organisation are trying to remove from people.’ ‘In Kenya we may have the local resources but the government sometimes makes it very hard for people to get them because there’s a lot of corruption.’ 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 GUEST Collins Mureithi is the founder of a grassroots youth-led organisation called Centre For Adolescent Young Change Makers.
