Ep 285Never Give Up - Gurveer Khabra
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul talks to Gurveer Khabra, one of a specially-selected group of co-authors, about his fascinating chapter, ’Never Give Up!’, and how this message of hope can see us through the darker moments in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Time is a powerful healer. If we hold on to hope, and have faith in ourselves, time will eventually heal the wounds of today. We all face moments of choice, a decision to make between fear and love. If we choose love over fear, we will always be led towards the light. However dark it may seem to be, light will always follow. It’s as sure as recognising that day follows night. Trust in our own faith. BEST MOMENTS ’Nothing in life is easy. Things will go bad, but in the future, it’ll all go good’ ‘I have one power, and that’s faith and trust’ ‘I can be shuffle-foot or I can be superman' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977: “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!” Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity. Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising. “Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!” CONTACT METHODS Tel: +44 (0) 115 7270101 E-mail: [email protected] Twitter: https://twitter.com/IAMPaulLowe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IamPaulLowe/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-d-lowe-7a78332a/

Ep 284Riding The Wave Of Resilience To Become A Winner - Steve Judge
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul talks to author, coach and speaker, Steve Judge, about the ways in which we can develop the resilience to ride to success in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone has a goal in life, and along the way we find success and failure in waves - highs and lows. As we drift down from the wave, we tend to share our feelings publicly. Upon reaching the bottom of the wave we enter a period of acceptance. Following this period, we begin the ascent of positivity again. Creativity can be suppressed once we leave our childhood. We should seek to find ways to bring creativity into our daily lives. It helps our minds to thrive and flourish and imbues us with fulfilment. BEST MOMENTS ‘Anger brings you down with a hard bang sometimes’ ‘It’s about pushing yourself onwards and upwards to bigger and better things’ ‘It’s not the end - you can do this. You’ve got the momentum to push yourself onwards and get through this’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Steve Judge YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JudgeInnovations/videos Steve Judge Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Steven-Judge-317765745069694/ Steve Judge Twitter - https://twitter.com/SteveJudge Steve Judge LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-judge-908293b1/ ABOUT THE GUEST In this current climate – due to the Covid-19 outbreak – we are all experiencing change in one form or another. Resilience is something that we all have within us, the more we exercise it the stronger we become. Steve’s uplifting, poignant and yet humorous keynote will enable you to achieve your own journey of excellence. Sharing his unique story, messages, and takeaways, he’ll explain the tools and methods that he used. He’ll demonstrate the many times he picked himself up after being knocked down both mentally and physically enabling him to go from wheelchair to world champion. Steve is now an established author and has set up and now runs his business as a resilience coach and professional speaker. He talks internationally and has received multiple speaker awards. With real-world takeaways, you’ll be inspired to not lean on your excuses and be motivated to take action, by turning your excuses into challenges and achieve your own vision and goal in life.

Ep 283Creating Positivity In The People's Game - Steve Corry
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul talks to Steve Corry about his mission to bring positivity and joy back to football, and why now more than ever, escapism and optimism are crucial. KEY TAKEAWAYS We become world game-changers by changing someone’s world. If we can appeal to just one person, then we change the world for the better, however incrementally. Energy cannot be destroyed. It is simply transferred. It is incumbent upon us to make a difference and spread the positive energy each day. When humans emerged, we were vastly different to the species we have become since. Stripped to our essence, humanity has survived on understanding and love - the basic principles that still guide us. BEST MOMENTS ‘If we make a difference to just one person, that massive contribution changes someone’s world’ ’To influence one human life is to be a world game-changer’ ’If you burn your bridges, rebuild them in stone' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Steve Corry Twitter - https://twitter.com/fitzcorry?lang=en ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 282Success: It's All In The Mind - Sharon Griffiths
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, 'Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. Paul’s guest today is Sharon Griffiths, who joins the conversation to discuss success, and why it might be a more internal concept than we realise. KEY TAKEAWAYS The measure of success is often a metric we assume is external. We gather possessions or achievements and call it success, but these things are simply markers along the journey. The feelings we achieve through life’s milestones are the true measure of success. When we analyse how far we have come, the markers are always the emotional attachments to moments. Defeat is nothing but a choice. We can find the success in any situation, even those we may perceive as failure. Setbacks are lessons learned, and therefore we become stronger through adversity. BEST MOMENTS ’Success was in my mind’ ‘What we think, we become’ ’The biggest challenge we have as human beings is developing the awareness that our minds are not us' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 281Communicate With Impact: Why It Matters - Keith Daniell
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this edition, Paul talks to broadcaster and communications expert Keith Daniell, about how best to make positive impacts with your communication skills, and why it matters so much. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus upon communication has become much more important in the wake of the pandemic, and returning to normal. We must seek to not just communicate clearly, but with impact and empathy. The world of today requires a number of new methods of communication. We are feeling our way through this new form, endeavouring to apply the old to the new. Communicating effectively and often leads to the skill becoming second-nature. It is only when we communicate in environments that are unfamiliar to us that these skills break down, lessening our impact. BEST MOMENTS ‘People are hot-wired to communicate effectively on an interactive basis, and we get it right’ ‘Clarity of message, warmth and effective delivery - that leads to the impact that we desire’ ‘It’s under pressure that all too often people get it wrong' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Keith is the owner and founder of TMG Training, a businessman, director and trustee as well as an associate of Henley and Oxford University Business Schools.

Ep 280Mentors, Medians & Minotaurs - Keith Amoss
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. This time round, Paul talks to Keith Amoss, the author behind the chapter, ‘Mentors, Medians and Minotaurs’, and how these three forms of guidance can shape and influence our lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mentor is the person who advises us with our best interests at heart. The median offers guidance with no real sense of whether it will help us or not. The minotaur, the bull-headed advisor who does not have our interests at heart. Sometimes the negative people can inadvertently guide us towards our greatest success. Our will to defy bad advice can be the spur that takes us onwards. If your personal values do not match those of the people around us, you are unlikely to be happy. We must endeavour to surround ourselves with people who nourish our values. BEST MOMENTS ‘You’ve met all three types, but don’t discount the minotaurs’ ‘If we go on life’s journey, we change gears’ ‘When you’re on top of the world, and everything is going well for you, you will more easily shake off any negativity’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Keith Amoss - https://www.keithamoss.com ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 27910 Disciplines Of Love: Giving Generously - Kelly Brandli
And so we come to the final instalment of the fascinating mini-series, in which Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. The final discipline is that of giving generously, the art of going beyond what is required, in order to exceed expectations and strengthen loving connections. KEY TAKEAWAYS In a relationship such as marriage, fidelity, communication, giving and receiving affection, and contributions to the household are what is expected. By exceeding these requirements, we create an extraordinary relationship. Giving is an art in itself. When we give, we are doing so in the hopes of receiving appreciation. When receiving, we must endeavour to receive with grace. We come into the world without knowing true self-love, and it is by being loved by others, and by experiencing love, that we understand how to love ourselves. The duration of our relationships is nothing compared to the depth of our relationships. We must always strive for quality rather than longevity. BEST MOMENTS ‘We want to go above and beyond’ ‘Generosity is positive and does not come from a place of negativity or suspicion’ ‘Words do have power, but words can be cheap as well’ ‘We can’t give too much, so long as we are giving from a heart-centred place' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 278I Agreed To Do What? - Kev Bailey
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul talks to Kev Bailey about the purpose of life, and why the pursuit of knowledge and development should be the main driving force in all our lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS We must step back from the drama that our lives brings forth, and work out whether the issue belongs with us, or with someone else. We do not always need positive reinforcements from others. The thing we may be missing, is another person to share your own positivity with. We are taught the harshest lessons from time to time, but this is not a bad thing. Each challenge allows us a new perspective, and teaches us a valuable lesson in the end. BEST MOMENTS ‘We actually come here to learn lessons’ ’The ones that cheat us the worst are the ones who love us the most in spirit' ‘Leave the suitcase on the platform and just get on the train’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 277Develop Morning Rituals - Martin Leifeld
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul talks to master fundraiser and philanthropist, Martin Leifeld, about the importance of structuring routine in your day, how it can drive you towards greater success, and the ways in which he prepares himself to meet the challenges ahead. KEY TAKEAWAYS We are all born with an opportunity to do something valuable with our lives. By preparing for our day with intention, we maximise our impact upon each day. The way in which we approach each day will influence the way in which our day plays out. Relax, re-focus, and re-align. Prayer and meditation can serve to enhance our self-awareness and self-esteem. They aid our relationships and help to combat the onset of depression. BEST MOMENTS ‘I think life is a gift’ ‘Each day is a choice’ ’This is my purpose. This is how I define myself' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Asking someone to donate money is tough! Martin Leifeld would sit in his car rehearsing his ask with sweaty palms, praying he wouldn’t get another rejection. Determined to master his craft he learned the power of embracing discomfort and through powerful human behaviour techniques was able to raise over $500 Million for three organisations! Martin served as vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for ten years. While there, he led a dramatic increase in fundraising, averaging $26.4 million per year. Prior to joining UMSL, Martin was associate vice president for university development at Saint Louis University, where he led his team raising $158 million in 3 years. Raising money became his Number One passion and Martin has since been able to distill the art of fundraising into core fundamental principles and a clear formula that anyone can learn.

Ep 27610 Disciplines Of Love: Utilisation - Kelly Brandli
In this special ongoing mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. This time, Paul and Kelly discuss the discipline of utilisation, which is built upon higher meaning and constant growth, and why sharing vision and values with our partners is the key to true happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS In relationships, we often look at our own need for growth, and step outside of the “couple bubble” in order to meet that need. We must endeavour to fulfil these needs from within instead of without. If our values do not align, then it is difficult to hold a shared vision and follow the pursuit of a higher meaning with our partner. By stepping outside of the relationship in order to seek growth, we have a negative impact on the partnership. By seeking to understand and grow together, we become stronger. When looking for a partner, it’s always wise to favour someone with a growth mindset. Everyone deserves to find someone who sees the benefit of growing with you. BEST MOMENTS ‘We need to have a shared vision for our relationship’ ‘We want to make sure that they are both hiking on the same mountain’ ‘It’s so important to look for ways in which you can do this collectively’ ‘If you dig beyond that first “why”, then you will see that there are points of alignment’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 275The Game's Changing: How Will You Master It? - Eric Ressler
Paul talks to Eric Ressler, the founder and CEO of Cosmic, a social impact creative agency designed to help organisations to create real change by maximizing their impact through design, brand awareness and action. Eric talks about the role that technology is playing in changing the world, and the positive impact that it can have upon making society better. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many believe that people of a certain age are put off by technology, and the speed at which innovation is happening, but this is a generalisation that Eric has found to be untrue. Social media and similar channels are constructed in a way to be addictive to humanity. We are encouraged, not always through positive means, to interact often, and once snared into its grasp, it can be difficult to escape. It is difficult in today’s society, to develop a career without some element of technological interaction. But technology must be seen as a tool to empower free information. If organisations take steps towards leveraging digital as a platform, embracing it as a core element to their business and shaping their culture around it, it can help to move their message forward in incredible ways.

Cosmic empowers social impact organizations to catalyze real world change by helping them nail their impact story, build brand awareness, and inspire action. By and large, the traditional strategies and approaches in the social impact space are still based on what worked well in the pre-digital era. This leaves many organizations under-resourced, siloed, and struggling to reach their full impact potential – because they are not leveraging the power of our current global digital culture. Cosmic helps future-thinking social impact organizations understand this paradigm shift and rethink their model and approach to multiply their impact. Eric got his start in design from a very young age, and after leaving a design program in San Diego early to pursue freelance work, cut his teeth running a freelance business in the digital design space. After organically building a strong roster of clients, he discovered a passion for the social impact and philanthropic space. Through working with numerous organizations across this sector, he found that often their missions and visions are strong, but their efforts are stymied by ineffective communications philosophies and practices. Now, Eric and Cosmic are on a mission to help social impact organizations across the globe navigate a rapidly changing world.

Ep 274A Miraculous Forest Of Love And Hope - Bob Conlin
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. Paul is joined this time by Bob Conlin, who has authored a very special chapter entitled “The Miraculous Forest Of Love And Hope”, who discusses the incredible true story that inspired it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Refusing to be beaten by life’s circumstances, Bob, his partner, and their unborn child, chose instead to travel a path of love rather than fear, inspiring the world with their display of commitment and faith. The things we most want in life often take extra effort in order to be achieved. The rewards that lie outside of our comfort zones always result in milestones in life. Hope is the guiding light in life. It is the beacon towards which we must always sail. It can carry us through the dark times, and towards a path of light.

Ep 27310 Disciplines Of Love: Respect - Kelly Brandli
In this special ongoing mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. This time, the discussion centres around one of the most important elements in any relationship: respect. How can we create a relationship based upon mutual respect and admiration, and keep that flame alive? The answer may lie in the “couple bubble”... KEY TAKEAWAYS Relationships often start with connection, lust and passion, but these things can fade over time, leaving many to wonder if something has gone missing. Human nature tends to lead us to creating twosome relationships. There is always one primary relationship that exists that seems stronger than others. The key to creating a lasting twosome is to maintain the integrity and security of the “couple bubble”, and to manage anything that’s external to it Relationships are partnerships designed to take a twosome through any challenge. The strength becomes united, and both become more powerful. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s an impermeable membrane that you can envision around a twosome’ ‘Your ultimate twosome is you and your partner’ ’The more you experience that love and connection together, the easier it is to love yourself’ ‘It’s you and me against the world and we’re going to figure out our way together’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. This time, Paul is in conversation with author, Aimee Mosco, who discusses the importance of peeling back the layers of any challenge and focusing on the things that matter most. KEY TAKEAWAYS Getting to the heart of the matter is not just about mastering the game of life, but truly understanding the reason for our existence. Fear is one end of the spectrum and love is the other. If we explore both elements, we are better able to decide where we sit on the spectrum, and shows us direction. As we start to fill the voids where fear once existed, and shift the anger to gratitude, we put ourselves onto a pathway to empowerment.

In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. This time, Paul talks to writer Kristin Johnson, who talks about her unique chapter, ‘Words Change Lives’, and how the simple act of choosing a well-timed word may be far more powerful than we think. KEY TAKEAWAYS Words have immense power and energy. By selecting the right one, and by discerning the best way of expressing those words, we can move the hearts of readers and listeners. Hope is a powerful beacon, especially in the world at present. It provides a guiding light to those in times of darkness. Terrible things happen often, and life’s challenges can seem insurmountable. We can’t rewrite the past, but we can re-frame the stories of our lives in order to provide hope.

Ep 27010 Disciplines Of Love: Polarity - Kelly Brandli
In this special ongoing mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. This time round, Paul and Kelly discuss the discipline of polarity, and how we use opposing energies to keep passion and romance alive in relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Masculine energy is generally more protective and assertive. Feminine energy is more nurturing, compassionate and sensual. As children we tend to have a much more defined sense of energy. As we grow into adulthood, we tend to filter this energy to fit societal expectations. When we talk about polarity of energies, it’s important to remember that the positive displays of these forces are the crucial factors in relationships. The “spark” in a new relationship is often a chemical reaction in the body, based on familiarity. The problem is that familiarity isn’t always positive. BEST MOMENTS ‘When we peel back the layers, we come to a discrepancy’ ‘You’ll be much more successful in early dating if you understand how important polarity is’ ‘We need to move away from that mindset that you need the spark!’ ‘You create more happy, healthy partnerships when you understand what it is that’s making it a successful relationship' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this episode, Paul is joined by Gary Clarke, to discuss the many ups and downs that life can throw at us, and how Gary himself has found the mental fortitude to see his way through. KEY TAKEAWAYS All it takes is one small diversion in life to set us on the wrong path. We must be constantly vigilant of our place in the world, and how others see us. Nothing in life ever comes easy. Usually the simplest path through life is to not take responsibility for your effect on others. It takes will power to take yourself away from the easy, detrimental path. We must consider the effects that our journey and story may have on future generations. Hero worship of darker souls can lead to perpetual negativity. We have a real responsibility. BEST MOMENTS ‘As a young lad, I chose the wrong path in life’ ’That thin line in life - we can just fall the wrong side of it for whatever reason’ ‘Once you get in that way of life it’s like a drug - it’s very hard to get out of’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Gary Clarke Twitter - https://twitter.com/GBoatsy ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 268One Ball At A Time - Paul Kelly
In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game. In this week’s episode, Paul talks to Paul Kelly about how life can throw many different challenges upon us at once, and how we can learn to focus on one task at a time. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is like cricket in that we may find ourselves on the receiving end of multiple balls, with many different targets. We must learn to focus on one ball at a time. People are far too crippled by fear these days. We need to take the responsibility to challenge injustice - to stand up for what we believe in, and install high values everywhere. It’s important to recognise that we can all struggle from time to time. Asking for help is not a weakness. If anything, it empowers another person to help. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can’t hit all six balls in one go - you can only hit one at a time’ ’There are many people out there who’ll help you, guide you, and point you in the right direction’ ’The ultimate game plan has got to be to master the game of life' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 26710 Disciplines Of Love: Daily Intimacy - Kelly Brandli
Continuing with their fascinating mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. This time, Paul and Kelly discuss daily intimacy, and how important it is to nurture not just a deep emotional connection, but also a physical one. KEY TAKEAWAYS The word “intimacy” is best explained by breaking to down, until it is read “Into Me You See”. It is the act of allowing another into the smallest and most private spaces. A relationship that contains a deep mental compatibility but not a physical one, may well be a deep friendship instead of a romantic relationship. Often, a relationship that is going stale, is one where both partners are on track towards the same goals, but are doing it along two parallel lives, with only the briefest of touch points. We can rekindle the fun, playfulness, and excitement in our relationships, merely by doing something unexpected. BEST MOMENTS ‘Intimacy on a daily basis is really about getting inside the person you’re in a relationship with’ ’The most fulfilling, complete relationships include both aspects’ ’To take your relationship to the next level, you really need to incorporate play and fun’ ‘Part of playing is being able to use different emotions to your advantage' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 266Visibility Is More Than Just Being Seen - Kym Hamer
In this totally unique 20-episode special series, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have made inroads to master this ever-evolving game. In this particular episode, Paul talks to Kym Hamer about her chapter, entitled ‘Visibility Is More Than Just Being Seen’, and how it may mean more than simply displaying our physical selves... KEY TAKEAWAYS Being visible is not just about having our physical selves seen, but our emotional, mental and spiritual sides on display to the world. When we listen and pay attention to how others respond to us, we understand that while we may feel that we are projecting a certain image to the world, others see something different depending on their own perceptions. Our brains build an automatic defence mechanism in order to protect us. This is a natural instinct left over from our past, but we must ask ourselves what it is protecting us against now. By opening ourselves to new experiences, we condition ourselves to accept differences. It is a crucial part of understanding who we are and how we want to be seen.

Ep 265What Does Mastering The Game Of Life Mean To You? - 20 World Game-Changers
To celebrate the forthcoming release of his new book, Mastering The Game Of Life, in November - a book built upon a message of hope, inspiration and love - Paul has invited 19 other selfless, game-changing co-authors from around the world to give their insights into the very powerful question: “What Does Mastering The Game Of Life Mean To You?" KEY TAKEAWAYS Mastering the game of life means that you have achieved mental, emotional and spiritual sovereignty. When you achieve this, you make moves with purpose as an empowered creator. True listening comes from understanding the meaning of someone’s message. We must put aside our own emotional filters and accept the meaning willingly. Crafting and creating a life that we truly want should be the aim for everyone. Finding that path with our hearts, creates a passionate, rich creative life. We all wish that we had the wisdom of a lifetime when we are young, but in fact we do have that opportunity. By listening to those who’ve walked the path before us, we can swiftly attain wisdom and insight. Mastering the game of life is about learning lessons from every experience. Relationships and love are the defining factors upon the shape of our journey. BEST MOMENTS ’No matter what we have in life, bad, good or indifferent, it’s all an experience’ ‘Our words create our reality’ ‘As you go through life you will hit a few snakes that bring you down, but there’s no such thing as failure’ ‘We’re all here to learn lessons.

Ep 26410 Disciplines Of Love: Absolute Courage And Vulnerability - Kelly Brandli
Continuing with their fascinating mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love - the concept developed by Tony Robbins - in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. This time, they exchange thoughts about the discipline of absolute courage and vulnerability, and why the two are inextricably linked... KEY TAKEAWAYS It takes immense courage to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; to lower the defences and allow another person inside. Courage allows us to take the first step towards revealing our true selves. Vulnerability is the practice of being truly seen, no matter what the consequences. In relationships, we want to be able to see inside a person, to the parts that shape and define them., Those who refuse access are often labelled as “emotionally unavailable”. We often bend the truth or exclude a fact when in relationships. This is our way of withholding the vital essence of ourselves. In the long run, it may have a detrimental effect upon the relationship. BEST MOMENTS ‘Vulnerability is the last thing I want you to see in me, but it’s the first thing I look for in you’ ‘Vulnerability is not a weakness, but our greatest measure of courage’ ‘I’m just putting it out there - I am not singing on this podcast!' ‘Vulnerability is about giving glimpses over time’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 263How Young Game Changers See The World - Ellie Eichenlaub
In his continuing focus on viewing the world through younger eyes, Paul talks to Ellie Eichenlaub, a compassionate caring student, who has devoted much of her young life so far, to working in the community. In this episode, Ellie talks about her unique outlook on life, why the world is very different for young people growing up, and her hopes for the world going forward! KEY TAKEAWAYS Young people are almost raised upon the new way of reporting news - namely a largely negative perspective upon every world event on social media. Human beings are not infallible. They make mistakes. We are constantly growing. To punish someone for their past transgressions by “cancelling” them is not helpful or productive. The younger generation are often mislabelled as rude, when sometimes the opposite is true. It can be the older generation that acts as more entitled. Causes championed by the younger people are often seen as radical by those who are older. But they aren’t radical. They are simply benevolent and require empathy instead of confrontation. BEST MOMENTS ’It feels like some of the older generations aren’t as aware’ ’Social media is used to create more fear than love’ ‘We grow by learning’ ’This is the bare minimum. You need to go further' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Ellie is a recent high school graduate living in a small town in the United States. She’s been involved with several leadership roles at her high school and community service in her area, mainly volunteering as a tutor, or with local political campaigns. In the fall, she’ll be attending college and majoring in the social sciences.

Ep 262Impactful Philanthropy - Kris Putnam-Walkerly
Kris Putnam is a global philanthropy advisor, who for the past twenty years has successfully advised some of the world’s major philanthropists, transforming their giving and maximising their impact. Kris joins Paul to discuss the incredible work she does, and why more targeted, considered philanthropy may prove more effective in today’s world. KEY TAKEAWAYS People always want to allocate their philanthropic funding in order to create change, but often get in their own way. Sometimes beliefs can hinder the impact they are seeking to effect. Before we begin to give freely, we must ensure that we are taking care of ourselves. This can be through learning or development, but the end goal should always be growth. Most funders do genuinely want to make a difference in the world when they give away their wealth with charitable intentions, but are often misguided in the way they do it. Guilt can play an interesting role with the wealthy. Especially in terms of those who have inherited their wealth, a sense of guilt around their privileged place in the world can lead to a belief that self-development is not worth pursuing. BEST MOMENTS ‘I help them to increase the clarity, impact and joy of their giving’ ‘In order to help other people, you need to take care of yourself’ ‘You do have to take the time and be willing to change the lens with which you’re thinking about your giving’ ‘We need to be the best philanthropists and donors that we can be' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kris Putnam-Walkerly LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisputnam/ Putnam Consulting - https://putnam-consulting.com ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 26110 Disciplines Of Love - Honourable Language - with Kelly Brandli
Continuing with their fascinating mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. In this week’s edition of the series, Kelli and Paul talk about being conscious of the words we use in relationships, the things we say to our partners, and why we should never use language as a weapon. KEY TAKEAWAYS Derogatory language, even used briefly and in jest, embeds itself upon the subconscious, and grows incrementally to enforce a negative viewpoint in the long term. Your focus, your physical posture, and your language are the three factors that influence our state of mind and state of being the most. If we change any one of those, we can change our state. Trying to replace a bad habit is generally hard, but it can be made easier if we replace it with a good habit. We must seek to recognise contempt in our relationships as it begins to emerge, because much like a dry rot, once it sets in, it can be almost impossible to reverse. BEST MOMENTS ‘Language is absolutely fundamental to our experiences’ ‘Using sarcastic language or hostile humour is actually a sign of contempt’ ‘It’s almost impossible to see positive qualities in your partner once you’ve developed contempt for them’ ‘Defensiveness is really a way of not taking responsibility for your own mistakes' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 260Building Brands That Put Purpose, People And The Planet First - Simon Mainwaring
Simon Mainwaring is the founder and CEO of We First Branding, a creative consultancy committed to business as a force for good. Simon joins Paul to discuss his positive outlook regarding business, and how it should always be aimed at taking us forward in constructive ways as a society. KEY TAKEAWAYS Storytelling has always been the best way of connecting with other people. It connects us on a primal level, and is one of the only tried and tested ancient forms of connection still in use today. Social media can be put to damaging use, but we must never discount its positive effects. Using it as a force for good should be at the heart of every business strategy. All of us are an individual, but the real turning point is when individuals decide that the way we should behave and think will be driven by collective wellbeing. Now is the time for real and meaningful change as a society. We are at the brink of no return, and are in danger of seeing our way of life irrevocably damaged if we do not collectively act. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was really struggling to figure out why I wasn’t fulfilled by what I was doing’ ’Those two words, “Wake Up”, really took on a profundity for me that I didn’t expect’ ’There’s a distinction between healthy self-interest and selfishness’ ‘COVID has made it very clear to everybody, that on a dime, the world can change' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Simon Mainwaring - https://simonmainwaring.com We First Branding - https://www.wefirstbranding.com/about/ Simon Mainwaring LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonmainwaring/ ABOUT THE GUEST Simon is a Global Thought Leader, Bestselling Author, and Keynote Speaker.

Ep 259No More Abuse! - TM Hoy
Paul talks to author, T.M. Hoy, the writer of ‘Lasting Happiness’, about the drastic need for change when it comes to human activity upon the planet. As a species, we have reached the tipping point in history, where our actions have taken such a dreadful toll upon the environment and upon our values, that we must act immediately and decisively if we wish to continue with our current way of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Healing the planet is not a case of one-solution-fits-all. Each solution is dependent upon another. It is a delicately balanced house of cards that requires multiple point of attention. The only way that we can hope to change the world is by approaching each challenge with kindness and compassion, and without self-serving agendas of any kind. All relationships have to be based on trust and understanding, and it has to be a two-way street. If we don’t have these things, then we don't have a relationship; we have oppression. Change comes when we, as a society, demand it from those in policy-making positions. We must cry out loudly against injustice and intolerance. BEST MOMENTS ‘We’ve reached the tipping point’ ’The real values that govern those relationships always revolve around empathy and compassion’ ‘First you have to know what you’re doing, and for many people that’s problematic’ ‘We have to act as one. We have to put our foot down and start making noise' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Lasting Happiness - www.lastinghappiness.net ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 25810 Disciplines Of Love: Giving Freedom - Kelly Brandli

Ep 257Transitioning From Institution To Individual - Keith Amoss
Paul talks to Human Resources expert, Keith Amoss, about the strange phenomenon of workplace identity, how it seems to overtake our personal side, and how we as individuals can seek to step out from behind our professional veneer from time to time. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s an unfortunate anomaly of human interaction that we align ourselves entirely to others through our professions. It is almost a shield behind which we hide our true selves. No one can predict the future. Anyone who says he can guarantee the future is exaggerating. We must look for the signs ourselves and try to be prepared for any eventuality. Human contact has a medicinal and reparative effect upon our hearts. We may not know it at the time, but we are feeding our souls by being with others. We are the sum total of our experiences, our upbringing and our environment. Human beings are an endlessly variable species that can be nurtured and directed in any number of ways. BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s finding yourself again. It’s reinventing yourself’ ‘Okay, what have you got to give?’ ’To some extent you certainly need human contact’ ‘We have a jar of marbles that basically are our human values' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life podcast ABOUT THE GUEST Keith is a Career Coach, and Fellow of the UK Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD), with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Human Resources Management (HRM) from Leicester University, and a Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) from Brunel University, London.

Ep 256How Effective Do You Believe Your Communication Is? - Keith Daniell
Paul is joined once more by broadcaster and communication expert, Keith Daniell, who returns to discuss the importance of communication, and the question of belief, clarity and authenticity in our dealings with one another. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we receive clarity, the message behind any communication is instantly more well-received and respected. It is when we receive confused or mixed messages that our natural conflictual instincts are activated. Our perception of someone ultimately shapes and transforms our interpretation of what someone is saying. We come to each conversation with our own takes in place, sometimes. These days, for a message to be heard, it needs to be strong or controversial. Social media has reinvented journalism and communication. Lack of clarity in communication is often caused by not thinking things through beforehand. Consider your message carefully, and you’ll communicate it far more clearly. BEST MOMENTS ’You’ve got to have an authentic belief in what you are saying’ ‘Our emotions are dramatically influenced by our thoughts’ ’Sometimes a very worthy message simply gets lost’ ’The only way to get clarity is to know what you want to say before you start saying it' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Podcast ABOUT THE GUEST Keith is the owner and founder of TMG Training, a businessman, director and trustee, as well as an associate of Henley and Oxford University Business Schools.

Ep 25510 Disciplines Of Love: Positive Intent - Kelly Brandli
In a new mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships In this week’s edition, Paul and Kelly discuss the discipline of Positive Intent, including the six elements that comprise it, and how basic human needs play a huge part in our partners’ behaviour... KEY TAKEAWAYS The discipline of positive intent is made up of six elements: Work to eliminate threats and judgment Understand, recognise, and meet your partner’s basic needs Learn to decide that you know your partner’s soul and that their intent is pure Take responsibility and learn to say “I’m sorry” To not blame our partners Making a decision and sticking by that decision We are always striving to fulfil one of the six basic human needs, but these may fluctuate and change depending on which stage of life we are in. Our core beliefs play a huge role in our perceptions. Depending on the beliefs we nurture, any given situation can play out to our sensibilities in entirely different ways for others. Blame can be hugely detrimental, not just to your partner, but to yourself, Blame causes defence mechanisms to activate, meaning that our partner will be less likely to engage. BEST MOMENTS ‘Your partner’s primary motivation in a lot of situations, is to meet one of their six basic human needs’ ‘Rules and beliefs go very, very much hand-in-glove’ ‘When someone is in a defensive mode, they’re no longer open to listening or understanding’ ‘Often, the people we are hardest on are the people who are closest to us’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 254All Life Matters - Paul Kelly
That’s the question being discussed in this week’s show, where Paul is joined by Paul Kelly, whose philosophy on life is that no matter where we are from, and no matter who we are, we all deserve the same opportunities... KEY TAKEAWAYS When we arrive in the world, we arrive as equals. Therefore, everyone deserves an equal chance at making a success of life. The geography of our birth is but one of the most important factors in determining our journey. There are endless variations that come before our conception, that greatly influence our fate. Labels are given to us by others, and no matter how innocuous they may seem, they’re still labels. They still carry some kind of connotation about the way people feel about us. Until we as individuals take responsibility for who we are, our lives don’t matter as much as they should.

Ep 253Why Milestones Matter - Kym Hamer
After surpassing an impressive 250 episodes of Mastering The Game Of Life, 'guest host' Kym Hamer talks to 'podcaster extraordinaire' Paul Lowe, about the importance of milestones in our lives, and why it’s always important to keep our eyes on what comes next... KEY TAKEAWAYS Milestones are magical moments, but they should never be the sole focus of our lives. We should always look to what comes next. Important milestones in our lives often come with a sense of expectation from society, and when they do not live up to the promise, the experience can be one of disillusionment. We must always remember to give ourselves credit when we achieve things in life. But we must never dwell too long upon the praise, and look to what comes next. Our outlook can affect the way we see the world. By adopting positivity and by turning away from a path of fear, we can bring light into our lives. BEST MOMENTS ‘Even when the lights are out, I’ll find a candle from somewhere’ ‘It’s crucial in life that we celebrate our little wins and our big wins’ ‘Could you refer to me as Twinkle-Toes Lowe?’ ‘If we walk round with dark glasses on, everything will seem dark' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life www.artemisfutures.co.uk Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kymhamer/@kymhamerartemis ABOUT THE GUEST From Corporate Change Agent to Thriving Entrepreneur, Kym is an international business coach, entrepreneur & speaker showing businesses and their teams how to master uncertainty and accelerate results.

Ep 25210 Disciplines Of Love: Unconditional Love & Compassion - Kelly Brandli
In a new mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. In this week’s edition, Paul and Kelly discuss unconditional love and compassion, and how we can ensure that we are equipped to embrace both, so that we may build solid foundations... KEY TAKEAWAYS Unconditional love is known as affection without limitations, and with no conditions. Compassion is what motivates people to go out of their way to help the physical, emotional or mental well-being of another. Working on ourselves is the first step towards being able to share unconditional love. We cannot give away what we do not first possess. We must establish where we are in any relationship in order to re-calibrate our aims. We can do this by listening effectively instead of instinctively defending. It is useful in the beginning of a relationship, to set markers, that allow us each to recognize the types of conversations we are having, and how they should be heard. BEST MOMENTS ‘If you’re waiting for someone else to change before you love them, then you’ve set a condition’ ‘You really feel what your partner’s feeling’ ’The greater danger for most of us is not setting our aim too high and falling low, but aiming low and hitting that mark’ ’Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ The Ten Principles Of Love at Kelly Brandli.com - https://www.kellybrandli.com/masteringthegameoflife ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 251How Young Game-Changers See The World - Matthias Braendli
This week Paul is joined by a very special guest indeed. Nine year-old, Matthias Braendli joins Paul to talk about the world as seen through the eyes of the next generation. It’s time to ask the future gatekeepers of the planet what they feel and think about the job we’re doing today! KEY TAKEAWAYS Young people so rarely get the chance to speak and be heard by the older generations, and yet they are the ones to whom this planet will one day be offered. Animals and nature are more deserving of our love and attention. We have done a terrible job of caring for our ecosystem, so should always do our part to heal the world when we can. Adults are often blind to the needs of the world and of the future. We think we know everything, but in reality, we know very little. BEST MOMENTS ’The winds of change are blowing in our world’ ‘Humans pollute the air and the waters, and that’s why I think they should just get loved’ ‘Young people have got so much energy and love to give' ‘We should use more paper and less plastic!'

Ep 250The Rob Moore Foundation: A Catalyst For Change - Rob Moore
Rob Moore is the owner and founder of the biggest property training company in the UK, but as well as being a best-selling author, a hugely influential mentor, a prolific influencer and content creator, and a multi-millionaire property investor, he is also the founder of The Rob Moore Foundation, which seeks to empower the next generation of business people through mentorship, scholarships and educational means In this episode, Paul talks to fellow trustee Rob about the role that the foundation plays in shaping the minds of the world’s next generation, and how the need for change and growth is now more important than ever... KEY TAKEAWAYS While there is now a desperate need for help and thought, to help us circumnavigate the challenges of the world, we must remember that we are a resilient species, and that this is one more challenge that must, and will, be overcome. We have become used to the concept of our purpose being to accumulate wealth and material items, when this cannot possibly be true. The true definition of success is being valuable, and contribution is valuable. Contributing back to the human race is incumbent upon us all, but we must ensure that we do not sell ourselves entirely short. Give freely, but also remember your worth. We must surround ourselves not only with people who support our vision and mission, but also with those who challenge us to grow. BEST MOMENTS ’The reason that I chose financial education and entrepreneurship, is that that’s where you can make a big difference’ ’There’s nothing more empowering than an entrepreneur with a mission and a message’ ‘Without contribution there is no human evolution’ ‘When you’re too high you need challenge - when you’re too low you need support’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life The Rob Moore Foundation - https://robmoore.com/robmoorefoundation/ Rob Moore LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robmoore1979/?originalSubdomain=uk Rob Moore - https://robmoore.com ‘Money' and 'The Disruptive Entrepreneur' - https://robmoore.com/podcast/ ABOUT THE GUEST Rob Moore is a triple best-selling Property Author, public speaker, entrepreneur, and multi-million- pound Property Investor.

Ep 249ROAR: How To Tame The Bully Inside And Out - Marilise De Villiers
Paul talks to high-performance coach and author, Marilise De Villiers, about her groundbreaking new book, ‘ROAR: How To Tame The Bully Inside And Out’, a work intended to give perspective and insight on how to deal with both the external bullies who seek to derail our ambitions, and the internal bullies that sometimes emerge to do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS Once we become aware of how bullying can work, even on a subtle scale, we realise how unfortunately prevalent it is in today’s society, and how it has affected our own personal history. Especially in the business world, where hierarchies naturally exist, bullying can be seen as the norm; passed off as management style or ambition. Bullying often emerges from a sense of entitlement, and can manifest itself in numerous ways, from verbal and physical abuse, to more subtle forms of sabotage. Technology is an enabler, and to help us to achieve more. Social media itself can be a hostile environment from time to time, but we must remember that it is a tool that can do good. In the wrong hands, it become a tool for something much darker. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was so surprised to see how many people were in bullying situations at work’ ‘Bullies exploit at all costs - I want to be the winner, so I will make you the loser’ ‘I do believe in the power of positive thought and how you can manifest that in your life’ ‘One of the miracles I see is this absolute necessity to slow down’ ’The only way someone can bully you, is if you give them control' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Marilise is the author of ROAR!

Ep 248Time, Love Or Money: Which Matters Most - Kelly Brandli
In this intriguing episode, Paul and relationship expert Kelly Brändli, discuss perhaps the three most powerful motivators in life: time, love and money, and which is the most important of all when it comes to contributing to our happiness? The answers, and the discussion, may surprise you... KEY TAKEAWAYS Time matters so much, because it is a finite resource that we must all spend wisely. But we can give ourselves the perception of more time by changing our perspective on how we spend it. Money is not necessarily the root of all evil. It is the greed that pushes some to want more money, that is the root of the evil. Money can make relationships easier. It can remove conflict in terms of financial constraints in life, and therefore lead to more harmony. Love, in turn, can create wealth by making us happier and more productive. Love is a basic fundamental human need that can shape us in powerful ways, depending on how much of it we have in life. Science has shown that life is longer when we are content in relationships. BEST MOMENTS ‘What you don’t use, you lose!' ‘Perception is all there is’ ‘Money can reveal more of who you are - good or bad’ ‘Money and time are tools to get our needs met' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 247Riding The Wave Of Resilience To Become A Winner - Steve Judge
Paul is joined this week by best-selling author, coach and speaker, Steve Judge, for a conversation focusing upon resilience, and how to emerge from overwhelming challenges with a will to succeed As a survivor of tragedy and hardship, Steve is an excellent example of the indomitable human spirit, and today’s insightful conversation will equip anyone with the armour needed to soldier on through adversity... KEY TAKEAWAYS When we are at our lowest, we must work towards a state of acceptance first, and then resolve to take action. By doing so, we can raise ourselves up once more. Resilience is not something that can really be theorised. It is a force that comes into play when adversity strikes. We are capable of far more than we realise. We live the broad strokes of life by applying the many small ways in which we achieve success. How we live in small ways, is how we live in larger ways. The factor that separates us from our goals is often fear. If we believe in ourselves, then we can achieve anything. We simply need to focus and keep pushing forward. Visualise your goals today. Benchmark where you are at the moment and move forward each day, to reach your “gold” BEST MOMENTS ‘I had to take action. I had to take responsibility. I had to take ownership’ ‘I believe that anyone can be a world champion’ ‘It’s not being strict. It’s being structured’ ‘If you really want to do something, then you will find a way’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Steve Judge YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JudgeInnovations/videos Steve Judge Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Steven-Judge-317765745069694/ Steve Judge Twitter - https://twitter.com/SteveJudge Steve Judge LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-judge-908293b1/ ABOUT THE GUEST In this current climate – due to the Covid-19 outbreak – we are all experiencing change in one form or another. Resilience is something that we all have within us, the more we exercise it the stronger we become. Steve’s uplifting, poignant and yet humorous keynote will enable you to achieve your own journey of excellence. Sharing his unique story, messages, and takeaways, he’ll explain the tools and methods that he used. He’ll demonstrate the many times he picked himself up after being knocked down both mentally and physically enabling him to go from wheelchair to world champion. Steve is now an established author and has set up and now runs his business as a resilience coach and professional speaker. He talks internationally and has received multiple speaker awards. With real-world takeaways, you’ll be inspired to not lean on your excuses and be motivated to take action, by turning your excuses into challenges and achieve your own vision and goal in life.

Ep 246Discussing The F-Word - Kym Hamer
In this intriguing episode, Paul finds himself once again in the hot seat, as he hands the reins of the show to guest host, Kym Hamer. The discussion this time is one surrounding the many “F" words in our lives; from fun to flirting, from flow to faith, and everything in-between! KEY TAKEAWAYS Fun is very often sacrificed in favour of responsibility and duty. There is far more emphasis on doing rather than All basic choices come to deciding between a path of love, or a path of fear. The path of love can be difficult if you are preconditioned to act in a certain way. This is seen especially in masculinity. There are powers in the world that carry us onwards and higher, so long as we accept them, are in turn accepted, by relinquishing the need to control. Focus helps us to attune our energies into the areas we value most. If we don’t stand for something then we fall for everything. BEST MOMENTS ’This particular guest will go all over the place!’ ‘We often forget that it’s important to feel good’ ‘When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, then we really do start to become “in flow”' ’They aren’t coincidences - they are things waiting to happen' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life www.artemisfutures.co.uk Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kymhamer/@kymhamerartemis Kym Hamer Twitter - https://twitter.com/kymhamerartemis Kym Hamer Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kymhamerartemis/ ABOUT THE GUEST From Corporate Change Agent to Thriving Entrepreneur, Kym is an international business coach, entrepreneur & speaker showing businesses and their teams how to master uncertainty and accelerate results.

Ep 245Our Sustaining Forests Of Love And Hope - Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen
What do we mean when we talk about forests of love? In the case of today’s guest, we’re talking about literal forests! Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen is the co-founder and chairman of the Growing Trees Network Foundation, a project aiming to change the world for the better by planting more trees, and thereby increasing the quality of life for everyone Lars joins Paul to discuss his mission, and why trees seem to inspire such love and hope within so many of us... KEY TAKEAWAYS Forests planted upon groundwater resources help to prevent areas being desecrated by pesticides, and add natural nutrition to reserves. As trees grow and become taller, they act as carbon traps, removing harmful carbon from the air and converting it into oxygen. This helps to reduce global warming. Forests are wonderful places for human beings to spend time. They help us to reconnect with the natural world. Love is a basic ingredient for life. We need to nurture it where we can. Hope is the power that enables us to see past today, and into the possibilities of tomorrow. BEST MOMENTS ‘Planting trees is so simple, and can be adopted in so many ways around the globe’ ’The more we can balance our earth, the more we return our natural ecosystem’ ‘Forests support our health and wellbeing so well’ ‘By this simple action of planting a tree, we hit so many positive impacts all in one’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Growing Trees - https://www.growingtrees.dk/en/about-us/ Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lars-heiselberg-vang-jensen-115757a0/?originalSubdomain=dk ABOUT THE GUEST Lars Heiselberg Vang Jensen was born in a small family in Aarhus, Denmark. After backpacking through Asia, he worked for 8 years for Falck, a Danish rescue company in Denmark – specializing in the ambulance service. During this time, he – along with other volunteer colleagues – organized an ambulance-related project in Laos; consisting of training local people, and shipping 33 containers of hospital gear, fire-fighting equipment and medical supplies etc. The main goal was to help establish an emergency ambulance service. Since 2012, Lars is one of two driving forces behind the ‘Growing Trees Network’, a NGO based in Denmark. He passionately holds a powerful belief that together – by planting many new forests worldwide – we can help Mother Earth, the climate, animals and most importantly, loving ourselves. More specifically, he is also a great believer in ‘Theme Forests’ as part of planting billions of trees – ultimately contributing towards more peace in our world.

Ep 244Love And Hope: Two Simple Words That Change Our Lives - Kym Hamer
Now more than ever, we are being confronted with a word that seems to be made up of more darkness than ever. But we can always find our way through the darkest moments if we arm ourselves with two of the most positive tools there are: love and hope. This week, recurring guest, Kym Hamer, joins Paul to discuss the ways in which we can nurture both qualities and best employ them, to make sure we may always find our way back to the light. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope can be a distant concept for some, as it is not as action-orientated as love. It is certainly a concept that requires a degree of faith. Hope and love are an intangible as the wind. And yet if we embrace them in our hearts, their power is undeniable. It’s hard to hope for something better at the risk of being disappointed. When we see our hopes fade, it can lead to a loss of faith. But this is why we need courage. Inner peace comes from letting go of the things we cannot control, and accepting that we can only take charge of our present. BEST MOMENTS ’That language has a much more powerful connection’ ‘Hope takes us to a realm of uncertainty’ ‘Perception is all there is’ ’There’s something more that we don’t understand - and perhaps we don’t need to understand' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life www.artemisfutures.co.uk Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/kymhamer/@kymhamerartemis Kym Hamer Twitter - https://twitter.com/kymhamerartemis Kym Hamer Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kymhamerartemis/ ABOUT THE GUEST From Corporate Change Agent to Thriving Entrepreneur, Kym is an international business coach, entrepreneur & speaker showing businesses and their teams how to master uncertainty and accelerate results. She is also a managing partner in The Next Ten Years, a start-up taking customer-led business practice into the Middle East, and a trustee at a Secondary Academy in London.

Kym’s reputation as a master storyteller and powerhouse connector make her the perfect advocate for storytelling and collaboration as two of the essential building blocks in building a business – and life – you love. ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 243Our Miraculous Forest Of Love And Hope - Bob Conlin
This week, Paul is joined by Bob Conlin, who joins the podcast to tell a remarkable story around two simple words: Love and Hope About to become a father for the first time - to a son called Forest - Bob and his wife Shona’s happiness was suddenly threatened, when serious complications relating to their unborn child arose. Add-in the massive constraints created by coronavirus, and life became extremely challenging, to say the least What happened thereafter, is a truly remarkable tale of love and hope - one that Bob courageously shares with us... KEY TAKEAWAYS Forest was given his name before birth, to signify the strength and power of the trees, and the united, collective resilience of a forest. When we are confronted by challenges in life, the signifiers that may have been sent by the universe to warn, or to help us prepare, become even more obvious. Life’s greatest troubles force us to view the world with a radically altered perspective. Even the concept of hope has become a source of strength instead of some vague idea, for many around the world. Vulnerability is a way to empower. It is a release that allows us to grow and to be courageous; and ultimately leads us towards a path of love, faith and hope. BEST MOMENTS ‘We had less than a 1% chance that our child would survive’ ‘What has happened has been miraculous’ ‘It’s given the word “hope” a completely different dynamic’ ’Some days we have to lean a little harder on faith' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life We Meet Again - www.wemeetagaincoaching.com ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 242Hope: A Flimsy Word Or A Real Game-Changer? – Gary Clarke
With the current woes in our society, hope has never been more important, or more needed. But it’s a word that can mean so many things to people. For some it’s a beacon of optimism, while to others, it’s an elusive promise that is sometimes unfulfilled. In this week’s show, Paul talks to Gary Clarke about the concept of hope, and what it means to them. KEY TAKEAWAYS Hope has the power to transform our lives. By providing an aspiration for us, it can steer us towards more positive outcomes. Family, love, and support provide us with perspective, and instil a greater sense of hope in us. Hope, in this sense, can be associated with selflessness. When we become in touch with our primal self, the self that is often obscured by filters and layers of society’s expectations, we attain a greater sense of synergy with instincts such as hope and faith. BEST MOMENTS ‘Even the most staunch of atheists, in the heat of battle, cry “Oh my God, help!"' ‘Coming close but not close enough has been semi-consistent’ ‘I personally believe that we are all world game-changers' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Gary Clarke Twitter - https://twitter.com/GBoatsy ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 241When Saturday Comes: I'm Really Creative - Steve Corry
“When Saturday Comes” isn’t just a clarion call to the football lovers of the world, but also a beacon of respite to those who’ve spent the week at their labours. Paul is joined by Steve Corry to discuss the importance of the weekend, and how he personally uses this hallowed time each week to develop himself, to pursue his passion of football, and more recently, to help others enjoy the beautiful game. KEY TAKEAWAYS The “weekend” as a concept has become a time of rest, reflection and creativity; a time we have all grown to treasure as a society, as a time when we can indulge our creative sides in our respective leisure pursuits. Those with impairments have just as much right to enjoy football as everyone else. Steve has made it his mission to help those with visual impairments to keep their love and involvement in the game. Preaching about a subject you’re passionate about doesn’t necessarily require a qualification. We do it because we love it, and because we want the world to share that love. The moments that complicate our lives are generally motivated by negativity, greed or materialism. The truly memorable moments, the ones that live on in our hearts, are the moments of connection and love. BEST MOMENTS ’That golden period at the weekend is theirs to express their talents’ ’Spend time - not money’ ’They don’t want to miss the feel of the plastic seat, or the smell of the burger van’ ‘If somebody’s big enough to pay you a compliment, be big enough to accept it with grace' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Steve Corry Twitter - https://twitter.com/fitzcorry?lang=en ABOUT THE GUEST Football has been a way of life for Steve, for as long as he can remember – playing it, writing about it, and now commentating on it. Despite failing to make a career out of the professional game, it’s presented him with some amazing experiences and opportunities along the way. Aptly, the game of life is more important to him than football, and it’s one which anybody can win, with the right perspective. Steve is forever indebted to his parents – both of whom are Irish immigrants – for the values they’ve instilled in him. He’s proud to carry their DNA, and treats everyone he meets with respect, and without prejudice. He lives a simple, uncomplicated life, which has served him well thus far.

Ep 240Vulnerability: A Must For Dating? - Kelly Braendli
Paul talks to dating & relationship expert Kelly Braendli about the fascinating topic of vulnerability in dating, and why allowing yourself to lower those defences might well be the key to finding true, and long-lasting love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Expectation plays a big part in how vulnerable we feel. The expectations of society, or even from potential partners, affects how we act, and how much of ourselves we reveal. Tapping into vulnerabilities and past experiences can allow matchmaking to take place on a far more natural level. Often we subconsciously carry baggage from previously painful relationships that can affect our prospects. In early dating, people often become stuck in a rut when it comes to discovering about potential partners. We can break this train of thought by asking a random question. The four levels of connections we, as humans, use to form bonds are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. BEST MOMENTS ‘Vulnerability is about taking a risk; it’s about putting ourselves out there’ ’Today this is a completely open playing-field for us’ ‘Vulnerability is at the core when you want to build a loving relationship’ ‘We’ll be different people a year from now' ‘Vulnerability is your power’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life Kelly Brandli - https://www.kellybrandli.com Kelly Brandli Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kellybrandli/ ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 239When Saturday Comes: I'm Focused On Football - Gary Clarke
Saturday has become a hallowed day for football lovers; a day for camaraderie, companionship, excitement and exhilaration. In this special episode of Mastering The Game Of Life, lifelong football fan Paul talks to a fellow supporter, Gary Clarke, about the magic of the beautiful game, and its effects upon those for whom football is a way of life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Football has become a more inclusive, all-encompassing pursuit that attracts a diverse crowd of supporters from every walk of life. The love of football is the great leveller of generations; a passion that is easily and often handed down from the older generation to the new. For football lovers, football is as much a part of our routine and life, for football lovers, as shopping, cinema and theatre trips are for the world beyond.

Ep 238Dealing With Stress - A Question Of Hope? - Carole Spiers
After seeing far too many people dealing with stress, post-trauma and anxiety in a variety of different industries, author and speaker, Carole Spiers, renowned for her wisdom and guidance on building resilience, has made it her mission to reduce stress by promoting a message of hope. In this week’s show, Carole talks to Paul about the ways in which she hopes to build health and wellbeing, the difference between stress and pressure, and why helping others is more of a calling, than a job. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stress is not good for anyone, although some believe it be a great motivator. The best motivator is pressure, which can be managed. Now more than ever, the need for collaboration and communication has never been more important. We should be seeking opportunities to do so every single day. Hope is a vital component. Positivity and optimism are the values we need to hold onto. We need to look for opportunities for learning and growth in every situation. A healthy workplace culture is one that encourages feedback and innovative thinking, but more importantly, rewards that thinking and input with gratitude and encouragement. BEST MOMENTS ‘You can thrive on pressure. It gets you up in the morning’ ’Not everyone can find that inner strength and resilience in order to manage their daily lives’ ‘I connect people with people. We all need to help each other’ ’The very simple words are “How can I help you?"' VALUABLE RESOURCES Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Carole is an International Motivational Speaker and C-Suite Executive Consultant. Her credibility is rooted in twenty-five years' success as CEO of a leading UK Stress Management Consultancy, working with equal success both in the UK and the Gulf.

Ep 237When Saturday Comes: I'm Extremely Athletic - Daniel Taylor
As the former chief football writer for The Guardian, and now as one of the senior sports writers for The Athletic, Daniel Taylor is one of the most experienced and authoritative voices in sports journalism today. Daniel joins Paul today to talk about the highs and lows of writing about your passion, the enchanted power of awaiting football on a Saturday, and what it means to football lovers around the world... KEY TAKEAWAYS Saturday has become the hallowed day for many football fans globally; the day upon which dreams are held up to the test. For any football fan, it is the magical day upon which their hopes are risked, and when heroes are made. Sports journalists have to accept that at times they will not be flavour of the month with fans or players. It’s part and parcel of the job, as true journalism requires critical honesty. Sports journalists gain respect by being open and transparent about their thoughts, as well as their identity. This can prove difficult when opposed by an army of anonymous dissenters. Working in sports journalism does, unfortunately, transform the game from a heartfelt passion to a job. It is worth the sacrifice, but it does alter one’s perspective. BEST MOMENTS ‘You do not give up on your football team’ ’I have to know who I am. I’m a journalist first and foremost’ ‘I don’t see it as the beautiful game anymore’ ‘All of that tribal stuff gets a little bit knocked out of you when you get your work head on’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Daniel Taylor Twitter - https://twitter.com/DTathletic Daniel Taylor at The Athletic - https://theathletic.co.uk/author/daniel-taylor/ Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE HOST One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.

Ep 236Communicate With Impact, Or Be Ignored - Keith Daniell
As one of the world’s leading communications specialists, no one knows more about the effect of impactful communication than Keith Daniell, a former television presenter and journalist for the likes of ITV and Channel 4. As Keith explains in this week’s conversation, communication now is more important than ever. He offers some practical advice on how you can maximise the impact of your communication in this new world, which we now seem to have been suddenly thrust... KEY TAKEAWAYS New communication technologies, such as video conferencing and remote conversations, will not be going away, even when the effects of lockdown are lifted. It is now more important than ever to recognise not just the ways in which humanity communicates verbally, but also the more nuanced ways in which we physically communicate, and seek to replicate this through new means. Communication is too often filtered through pretence due to our need to appear in a certain light when with certain people. This can easily be demonstrated by comparing the way in which we communicate with strangers, and how we communicate with those we know best. Communication is generally believed to 55% physiology, 38% tonality and 7% verbal (words). This demonstrates the need for a greater depth of expression than merely verbal. Learning is actually maximised by failure. Failure in any task instils within us a greater sense of achievement when we are victorious. BEST MOMENTS ‘If we want to make a difference then we need to have the ability to make an impact’ ’There’s no point trying to teach someone to curve the ball like Beckham!’ ‘Life is simple, but we complicate it’ ‘What we actually say is often less important than the way we say it' VALUABLE RESOURCES [email protected] TMG Training – www.tmgtraining.co.uk TMG Training YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4bkORVZzm9tR94C0zcsXYA Mastering The Game Of Life ABOUT THE GUEST Keith is the owner and founder of TMG Training, a businessman, director and trustee as well as an associate of Henley and Oxford University Business Schools.
