Lowe - International Celebrant – talks to Peter Shankman about how to use the opposite of being still, creating a space and quietening the mind, to build better businesses. KEY TAKEAWAYS I think there’s a place for zen and tranquillity but, for many people, that’s not the first place they would choose to go. I’m at my calmest when I’m at my most productive.

On this episode of the SoulScape podcast, host Paul D. Lowe - International Celebrant – talks to Aimee Mosco about the conflicting feelings that arise when thinking about people celebrating themselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS My inner child in me shrinks when I hear the words “celebrating who I am”. Why?

I never liked my birthday when I was a kid and I think it’s because my mother almo...

On this episode of the SoulScape Celebrations podcast, host Paul – D. Lowe, International Celebrant –talks to Tom Fuller about their and our father’s lives. KEY TAKEAWAYS I was a very lucky child and a lucky man. I feel blessed when I listen to others that didn’t have the upbringing that I did. Not that I’d say it was the best ever, but I’m certainly grateful for my Dad, Anthony (Tony), bringing me up the way he did. I try to do the best I can from what Dad taught me, the Ps and Qs, it doesn’t c...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Keith Amoss about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Are you comfortable in not knowing? There’s something about us as humans where we’re not that comfortable with it, we like to have things mapped out, simple things like what we’re eating tonight, where we’re going on holiday, what time work starts in the morning, who you’re speaking to on Zoom that day. As you get older, pe...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Sergei Turkov about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS There’s a hidden history in every object that tells its true story. For example, why is the pencil you’re holding yellow? Most people don’t know why, but in the 19th century graphite came from China and American pencil makers painted them yellow to symbolise this. We should be curious and learn why things are the way they...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to T M Hoy about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Looking back on my life it’s been a history of mostly bad mistakes. The thing I’d like to talk about is that I wish I’d paid attention to just how right my mother was when she would criticise and guide me away from the easy way. Growing up, it was a fault of mine, I looked for the way out, the get-rich scheme, the way to jump ...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul Kelly about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS One of the things I didn’t realise is how difficult life can be if you don’t keep things simple. When you’re young and free and you explore and try new things you can encounter difficulties you were unaware of because you don’t understand the great, wide world. Not everyone’s as nice as you are and the world can be a very c...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Sharon Griffiths about the things she didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn’t know how many people would still be with me or would have left me in this world, and I didn’t know how I’d feel about each one. I also didn’t know what I’d be doing now, or that my husband would say this on a regular basis: You’ve got an amazing talent, Sharon – pointing out the obvious! The mind is full of s...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Aimee Mosco about the things she didn’t know that she now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I don’t think we’re meant to look back. This is contradictory to our experience as humans because every single thing that happens in our lives is for learning, so if you take that away the learning also goes with it. I take to heart having no regrets. Of course, there are things in life that you wish didn’t happen, that w...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Richard Gerver about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS We spend so much of our lives thinking that if we don’t know something it’s a weakness or a failure. I’d turn the entire thing around as a response and say: Things I didn’t know were that the things that I didn’t know, and I was confident about not knowing them, were my strength and my superpower. You learn nothing new b...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Lyn Smith about the things she didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn’t know, until I’d done a lot of work on myself, that things happen for you and no to you, and that you are in control of the things that you receive in your life, and that you don’t have to be the ‘victim’ of life, you can be the creator of your life. A person who has a happy life is a person who’s predominantly livin...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Paul (PK) Kelly about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS Perception is a brilliant word: You might thing you’re doing a brilliant job, but someone might say you’re doing it all wrong. One of you might be right, one of you might be wrong, but it’s all about what people think. Our thoughts can be very powerful, and they can cause us to overthink and that’s when people can becom...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Daniel Gasser about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS One thing I wish I knew earlier is the wisdom of women, especially the woman I’ve been blessed to be with for a very long time. She has a wisdom that comes naturally. As a younger man, I – and other I know – thought that if it’s not logical and well-thought, planned and organised that it can’t be very wise or intelligent...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul begins a new, longer series talking to John Chappelear - a first time guest - about the things he didn’t know, that he now knows and thinks the world should know.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul (PK) Kelly in the first episode in a mini-series about how to use his experience and inspirational energy to inspire young people. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lots of the things that young people encounter are the same. Part of the issue is there’s a lot of disconnect, lots of young people are involved heavily in social media which isn’t all bad, but it’s also not great for everybody. I don’t see myself as just a Maths teacher, I see mysel...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nelson Perez, this time focussing on the books he’s written and why he wrote them. KEY TAKEAWAYS I had a couple of purposes as to why I wrote my first book, ‘Heart of a Cuban’ which I wrote under my initials so my family back home in Cuba weren’t persecuted. The first was that I wrote it for my grandkids so that they know who they are and where they come from. I also wrote it for someone only knows rum, salsa...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his chat with Jack Perry about how to leave a legacy in more detail after their opening thoughts on the last episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first key element to how you create a legacy begins with aligning one’s inner self with their external behaviour. From there it becomes an inherently external thing, whether that be getting boots on the ground doing the groundwork necessary to create a legacy through an initiative or in a communit...
Jul 17, 2024•32 min•Ep. 604
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to a first-time guest, Jack Perry; discussing how to leave a legacy – such a simple word, with such a profound impact. KEY TAKEAWAYS When I think about legacy I think about a particular question: Who do you want to be remembered as after you’re no longer here on Earth? What would you want people to say about you in your obituary or at your funeral service? Other people’s perceptions, especially in critical moments really encapsulate ...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to returning guest Daniel Gasser about letting go, and how it has led him on a path to freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you zoom out of the day-to-day stuff, we all have a purpose in life and that’s been defined by our higher consciousness before coming here as a human being. That purpose is prevented by our ego, and the reason we’re here is to make this journey, to experience things, to get to a point where we realise that if you can just ...

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to life coach Darla Beam, about the topic "Creating From Nothing" and what it means to them both. KEY TAKEAWAYS This really symbolises a childlike wonder. When you were young everything was a new adventure, the sky was the limit and you had zero fears. You were excited to be, play & dance, or just sin in circles. It’s about returning back to who we inherently are meant to be. As we grow it’s like we put on more layers and it gets...
