Ever feel like you're chasing goals without really knowing why?

In this episode, I speak with Paul Hawkins, innovation expert, speaker, educator, and the Chief Combobulator at Crazy Might Work, whose work spans NASA, the UAE Government, the Australian Federal Police, and beyond.

But before the accolades, Paul had to make his leap into the unknown—and it all started by reconnecting with his why.

💡 What we explore:

• Why your why matters more than your job title

• What does it mean to think long-term when today feels uncertain

• How to stay laser-focused while navigating doubt

• The power of not taking criticism from people you wouldn’t seek advice from

• Skills vs. status: what drives growth

• Paul’s take on writer’s block, innovation, and showing up boldly

  
  

  ✨ This is your sign to stop chasing outcomes—and start anchoring yourself in purpose.

🎧 Tune in now and let Paul’s story guide you back to your first step.
