Bitesize Episode:

What does spirituality have to do with high performance, emotional resilience, and making better decisions in business?

In this powerful bite-size episode, psychologist and author Susanna Healy joins Paul to explore the neuroscience behind mindfulness, the hidden benefits of daily spiritual practice, and why attention is your most valuable currency.

Drawing on decades of research and real-life experience, they discuss how meditation reshapes the brain, improves decision-making under pressure, and helps entrepreneurs stay calm, clear, and connected — even during chaos.

This is not about religion. It’s about the inner operating system every entrepreneur needs to navigate uncertainty and scale both business and life.

The science of “SPINE”: How your spirituality affects your hormones, immunity, and mind

How to practice awareness in chaotic moments (even without meditating)

How to shift gears between work, family, and self — without losing yourself

Why spiritual attention may be the most underused tool in business performance
