What do you do when life doesn’t go the way you expected?
In this conversation, Bob Cupitt reflects on the “sliding door” moments that shaped his life — from choosing his own path early on, to leaving teaching, building a global career, parenting through challenge, and learning that the journey matters more than the outcome.
He talks about what it means to tell people what they need to hear, why respect matters more than being liked, and how some of life’s most meaningful lessons come through parenting, mentoring, and simply paying attention to people.
This episode is about:
-
making unpopular but necessary decisions
-
learning to focus on the process, not just the result
-
supporting children without trying to control their path
-
embracing who people are, especially when life gets complicated
-
remembering that people buy from people — and connection still matters most
A grounded conversation about character, growth, and the relationships that shape a life.
