Live on Purpose Radio

Depression may well be the most common health condition that affects people today. In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul is joined again by legacy coach, Darren Johansen, and Justin Boulter. Justin very willingly and boldly shares his own story with severe depression in his life. Powerful principles and paradigm shifts have been an important part of Justin’s healing. This episode is likely to be helpful in providing you with some tools to help that loved one of yours that comes to mind when you think about depression.

Throughout time, the power of a positive attitude has been taught and emphasized as a prerequisite to success. In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul is joined by bestselling author, Jon Gordon. Jon is the author of “The No Complaining Rule” as well as the international bestseller, “The Energy Bus.” In the midst of the barrage of negativity in our world, intentionally creating positive energy is a must for anyone who wants peace, success, and productivity. Several suggestions are given to create this effect in your life and to empower those around you; including the “thank you” walk, changing your thinking from “have to” to “get to”, and defining what it is that you love about your problem. A big part of living on purpose is choosing the positive – tell a positive story about your life!

In the previous epidode of Live On Purpose Radio, you heard Frank Abagnale tell his story from his own perspective. In this episode, Mr. Abagnale very graciously joins Dr. Paul for a discussion of some of the principles and morals that make his story inspiring. What Frank did as a notorious con-man 40 years ago gave him the power to catch people’s attention. What he has done since then can illuminate the principles that could bring some enormous power into your life if you are willing to be taught from his deep bank of experience. Please visit www.abagnale.com to learn more about what Frank is offering now to the world.

This episode of Live On Purpose Radio is actually a prelude to an interview that is coming up next. Frank W. Abagnale is one of the world’s most respected authorities on forgery, embezzlement and secure documents. Mr. Abagnale’s rare blend of knowledge and expertise began more than 40 years ago when he was known as one of the world’s most notorious con-men. A film about Frank’s life was created by Steven Spielberg with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. In this episode, you will hear this fascinating story from the point of view of Frank W. Abagnale himself. I was so impressed with the way Mr. Abagnale brings this powerful story back to principle and the importance of family, that I invited him to join me for an upcoming episode. Enjoy his story, and visit www.abagnale.com to learn more about this fascinating and inspiring man.

In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul welcomes Ruel Haymond. Ruel is a teacher and student of constitutional law at George Wythe University. In a somewhat more-political-than-usual discussion, the proper role of government is the topic of conversation. Especially in this election season, it is important to acknowledge the various threats to our freedom and liberty, the greatest threat being our own ignorance.

The most common lament I hear in my psychology practice is this question.  In this episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul calls together the brain trust of Shaye Larsen (Idea Orbit), and Leslie Householder (The Jackrabbit Factor) to take on this question.  Some powerful take-home ideas are shared, along with a great opportunity to get more personally involved.
