  • Simplicity And Respect Lead To Positive Changes - Paul D. Lowe & Rudr Sahoo

    On this episode, Paul is joined by Rudr Sahoo, a 10-year old young gentleman from Australia, who is hear to talk about the things he enjoys in life including looking after animals and origami. Discussing origami, specifically, was the origin of getting Rudr on the podcast as he shared a profound statement about the ancient Japanese art form with Paul that can apply to us all and our lives.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Origami shows how simple it is – using just your hands a piece of paper – to turn something into something beautiful.
    • The world has got very complicated. If people stayed simple then the world wouldn’t have to go through any changes, it wouldn’t have to predict what humans will do next and what it has to get ready for.
    • We’re not the only people on this planet. Who came up with the phrase that we’re the strongest species in the whole world? There are animals that live here, we don’t rule the Earth and they lived here before us, but we claimed it without telling the animals and we dominated it.
    • Just because adults have experience doesn’t mean they’re the most dominant. They don’t have imagination like we kids have. As they grow they try to talk differently so that people will approve of them.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Origami is taking a single piece of paper and you can make anything you want with it.’

    ‘I knew Origami was special, so the words I used about it had to be powerful.’

    ‘We can stop climate change by using paper bags instead of plastic bags.’

    ‘Children has the spark that no one else has and as you grown you try to change your spark.’

  • Come Out Of Cruise Control - Paul D. Lowe & Himanshu Sahoo

    On this episode Paul is joined by Himanshu Sahoo to talk about the way humans live in quite a robotic lifestyle and don’t utilise our full capabilities and how becoming present in all that we do, paying full attention, we will reach our full capability.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Depression, sadness and anxiety are terms we have coined in recent times. If you asked our forefathers, they may not have been aware of it or be able to identify it. It’s something external from us. Happiness, however, is something inside of us – we’re born with it.
    • When you face your fear and you come out of it then you have a different experience about life. Fear is something we create but danger is real, it’s tangible.
    • We have five senses. Any human being how utilises these five senses to their fullest extent can do wonders. We should be grateful to be born as human beings with the ability to think and live rather than exist.
    • People identify themselves as their physical flesh and bone. But that’s not true, there’s also the mind: you build up memories and emotions from birth.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We should pay attention to every detail and enjoy every moment of life.’

    ‘Perception is all there is.’

    ‘Stop existing and start living.’

    ‘The more you try to control the mind, the more finicky it will be.’

  • Enjoying The Gentle Art Of Conversation (With No Agenda) - Paul D. Lowe & Dan Lauer

    On this episode, Paul is joined by Dan Lauer for a freeform conversation, sharing views and philosophies, specifically around entrepreneurship.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • During COVID entrepreneurship has begun to be referred to as ‘the side hustle’. In the US entrepreneurship is up 25% and I think people are starting to realise that they don’t want to work for a company for 40 years and maybe get a gold watch, maybe they want to use their talent and skill to foster a dream, to bring something to market, to apply a skill and monetise it in some way.
    • Entrepreneurship will be the hardest thing you try, but learn fast fail fast, do some discovery before taking too much risk. But this is a thought process that can apply to business as well.
    • Shine your light and be the change that’s needed in your corner of the world and live like we have plenty of time left but none to lose.
    • We’re social animals and we crave interaction. This last year of isolation and talking through a digital medium, I’ve noticed in class and in restaurant that strangers want to talk to you. Maybe part of this is empathy. We’ve all gone through a life situation where no one was unscathed. I think everyone’s re-evaluating their role in life and that’s a good thing as long as it prevails.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘You can do anything yourself.’

    ‘You have to produce something that someone benefits or gets value from.’

    ‘Sustainability is an issue that needs to be de-politicised.’

    ‘Don’t believe you have more time. It’s a false assumption. Get it all in while you can.’

  • This Is My Story... What's Yours? - Paul D. Lowe & Alex Sapala

    Paul is joined by Alex Sapala to talk about his life, from his humble but happy childhood beginnings in Malawi where he strove to be the best in school and eventually gained a place at a prestigious private school where he gained access to a curriculum and standard of learning that he never imagined he could take part in.

    Upon graduating he received some sad news that rocked his world and meant he was suddenly in charge of looking after his siblings. The one thing that kept him going was that he needed to take control and use the qualifications he’d gained to get a good job for his family to survive. This led him to further education, studying abroad, eventually ending up in London where he got a job as an accountant with Deloitte. He now aspires to share business and financial knowledge with upcoming entrepreneurs and experienced business minds to learn and master the concepts and mindsets required to succeed, stand-out, have the edge and make a difference.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • I could see there was a distinction between people experiencing a difficult life and those who excelled in education who were able to turn their life around; working for good companies and having good houses. I picked up that I had control, so instead of concentrating on the fact that life was hard and difficult for me, I shifted my mindset to say I can turn my life around.
    • Being faced with tragedy and loss as a child made me think about what lessons I would teach my own children about life and how we sometimes suffer through the challenges that come along in life. It makes you think about what story you write or tell about your life. Understanding about mindset and grief helped me to write that chapter of my life.
    • Gratitude encompasses everything, in gratitude you’re understanding the everything happens for a reason and that challenges are there to teach you something that will make you stronger on your path to growth. Being grateful almost takes away the need for forgiveness because it doesn’t quite exist in that contest, you’re just grateful to be in that challenge.
    • As we begin to grow we begin to understand life and things at different levels of consciousness, to understand what is important and what matters in life, we begin to learn how love encompasses everything that we do and we can begin to pick which things we want to put emphasis on because everything is within us.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We didn’t have much when I was a child, but we were happy because we didn’t know any different.’

    ‘My family didn’t tell me that my father had died in case it distracted me from my GCSEs, it was hard to take, but I understand the thinking behind it now.’

    ‘The Greek myths were fascinating to me, my imagination let me experience a different world than my own.’

    ‘Negative energies don’t serve anyone. Gratitude helps us move forward and inspire others.’

  • Purposeful Values... Contributing To A Better World - Paul D. Lowe And Natalia Blagoeva, Noha Hefny & Keshav Gupta

    Paul is joined by three returning guests on this episode; Natalia Blagoeva, Noha Nefny and Keshav Gupta to talk about how certain values we hold can be holding us back and how others, or changing the undated ones we already hold, may help to make the world a better place.

    Is it even a necessity to have values, are they really that important, are they just a luxury? Or are they core to being your authentic self, are they the force behind every action you take and how do they impact the way you see yourself and others? Is it time for us to go back to basics?

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Context and culture change the meanings of certain ways of looking, like ‘ladies first’ being patronising. In some ways, more traditional values should be applied more in the world today.
    • We’ve reached a point where words have very little meaning when they’re used in branding, both corporate and personal, and we’re inventing new words so that we stand out from the crowd. Sometimes we see people that truly share our values but we also see a kind of hypocrisy where we say the same things but we mean completely different things. This is a problem with big organisations. Start-ups are usually much more connected to their values.
    • During the pandemic people realised that they need to stand up for what matters most and reconnect to their values that they stand for, to be there for their children, their partners, their communities and that these are the things that truly matter.
    • Love is beyond just partners or family, it’s love of humanity, love for the  planet, love for the people, connecting with others on a soul/spiritual level. It’s for the good of not just ourselves, but for our communities. But to have love you must have shared values or motivators.
    • I’m tired of seeing amazing people burning their wings and getting disheartened because they’re not able to achieve what they’re really passionate about. People need to collaborate and partner with people who share their dreams. It will help to scale our impact.’

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We all have values that lead us, they’re much deeper and exist whether we talk about them or not.’

    ‘If you don’t know the values that are important to you, how will you do business with anyone?’

    ‘The basic, core values of humanity are the ones that really matter: kindness; compassion; empathy; love.’

    ‘We need to be able to talk to people with completely different opinions to us and move beyond either/or situations and trying to be right.’

  • Stop Sleep-Walking! - Paul D. Lowe & Natalia Blagoeva

    On this episode Paul is joined by Natalia Blagoeva, the head of an organisation called Women Heart to Heart, an organisation that resonates with Paul, due to the female influences in his life. WomenH2H welcomes female entrepreneurs that want to contribute to making the world a better place.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Women have a special role to play today in this world we live in, but there’s work we need to do in order to fulfil our mission and creating a space where women meet with women, there’s a special connection between women, we need each other as mentors and role models, especially in the corporate world. It’s not about excluding men.
    • In order to really tap into collective intelligence we need men and women being their authentic self, whatever the combination of male and female energy in each person.
    • Work is very personal, it’s an expression of who we are and it’s a big part of our day, so when people say “it’s not personal, it’s business” they’re saying “don’t be yourself just do what we ask you to do”.
    • The ultimate checkpoint, to achieve what we want to achieve, is to have the ability to have amazing conversations with people with the absolute opposite opinion to ours. There’s too much polarization in the world and too much desire to be right.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We all have male and female energy, the most important thing is that we connect our authentic self to our unique purpose.’

    ‘A lot of things women would naturally do, they are being told not to do from school and in work.’

    ‘Generally, the people who value women the least are women themselves. We put ourselves down.’

    ‘Intuition and inspiration are my biggest values, as well as joy, humility, wisdom and integrity.’

  • Creating A More Balanced World – Paul D. Lowe & Keshav Gupta

    On this episode Paul is joined by Keshav Gupta to discuss something that crops up very regularly in conversations: creating a more balanced world. This is a wide-ranging topic that covers all aspects of life as well as covering why the world could do with more balance and asking what was the balance that we’re trying to achieve again.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Everyone’s needs aren’t being fulfilled, this is the starting point for a balanced world. Then moving on to human dignity and aspirations, and finally that balance entails co-existence, whether that’s human or natural co-existence.
    • We should recognise that the mind’s operation should happen within the domain of love. Love can also happen without mind, but love in action ties into our planet, society, loved ones, so we need to have our minds controlled, figured out and disciplined, but at the same time dissolved when it’s not needed. Self-love is the starting point.
    • In many religions it is said that God is in silence. Words are only as good as the listener and the speaker’s vocabulary, and they’re only good at describing tangible things. The experience of life is definitely not in words. There are some things that can only be shared through experience, these things connect us and don’t need words.
    • Everyone has a place to lead movements, thoughts, alliances and actions around the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and can get involved by visiting the UN’s website. They provide a framework to recognise the fact that others are in trouble all over the world and how we can begin to start helping.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Fear is deep-rooted and contagious and puts us in a cycle of separation and insecurity.’

    ‘Love is the ocean in which the island of mind resides.’

    ‘There are 9 billion individual worlds on this planet alongside the flora and fauna.’

    ‘We’ve all become conditioned and obliged to react. Patience is important.’

    ABOUT THE HOST

    Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

    From an early age, he was in the vice-like clutches of the demon drink and constantly embroiled within a dark cocktail of toxic beliefs, self-hate and destructive violence.

    Along with his empathetic and dedicated team of world-class coaches and mentors, Paul’s purpose is deeply transformational:

  • Embracing Uncertainty - Finally Getting It! – Paul D. Lowe & Stephen Towne

    On this episode Paul is joined by Stephen Towne, an accountant who has contributed a chapter to the book that is about to be released. The book is called ‘Speaking From Our Hearts, Volume Six: Embracing Uncertainty’, Stephen’s chapter is entitled ‘Finally Getting It!’. Paul and Stephen talk about the themes of the book and especially his chapter within it.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • As an accountant – not just a human – it’s difficult to accept things that have an uncertain outcome, there has to be some certainty for me, but I’m learning how to deal with this and applying it more and more in both my home life and my work life.
    • At my age it’s time I stopped worrying about being in control and accepting that I don’t need to control everything, and it really is liberating to go with the flow and seeing what happens.
    • My wife has been a guiding light; teaching me things without teaching me things, just be being with me, observing how she behaves, what’s important and what isn’t and ludicrously supportive as well.
    • Writing isn’t hard work or a task, it’s an enjoyable couple of hours – or however long you want to spend – and cathartic is a blinking good word for it! I’d advise anybody to sit down and write 2000 words about yourself, it’s really good fun.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I’m known as a bit of a control freak, or at least knowing that someone has some control over the situation.’

    ‘If things go wrong carry on and get it right next time.’

    ‘Being involved with World Game-Changers has encouraged me to get involved with things over and above to help other people.’

    ‘Don’t leave things worse that you found them. Make a difference, make it better for others.’

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    Stephen is a Chartered Accountant and has been since 1990.  Having spent nearly 20 years working for other people and generally not enjoying it, his life hit a nadir in 2007 with an unpleasant divorce.  Two years of very dark days followed but having ‘got it together’, Stephen set his own accountancy practice up with the help and support of his new wife Allison, and so far, has not looked back.

    Meeting Paul Lowe at one of the latter’s characteristic charitable events – taking 30 or so less–privileged children to watch Notts County Football Club – reinforced in Stephen his desire to make some difference, no matter how small, in other’s lives.

    Stephen looks to use his skills and experience to help small businesses get started and to grow and does so with genuine interest in what they do.  He is never too busy to take a call and must be the closest the accountancy profession has to a counsellor!

    Stephen is proud to know Paul, and to be able to help him in his mission, whilst at the same time learning from Paul a whole new way of looking at his own life.

  • Ignite The World - Paul D. Lowe & Noha Hefny

    On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest Noha Hefny to talk about how each and every one of us can ignite the world through being present, showing up with our full set of talents and gifts that make a difference. This will help with our interactions with other people and guides our decisions, actions and behaviours.

    Paul and Noha propose setting up the Ignite The World Awards along with the ‘Women Heart to Heart’ organisation. There will be 10 award categories that reflect aspects of people around the world to celebrate their values, including the first two proposed categories; for young people and women.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • We tend to not grasp the importance of our values in our lives, but they are the compass, or the guide, that will enable us to truly live our true selves and true essence in this world and show up as authentic and real.
    • Paul’s five core values: Life, Learning, Loving, Legacy and Loyalty – especially to yourself. Noha’s five core values: Fairness, Impact, Authenticity, Empathy (Kindness) and Freedom.
    • Working in refugee camps has given me a lot of experience with empathy and learning. The minute we stop learning and growing and evolving (both as humans and evolving new though processes) that’s the end of live, you should never stop learning.
    • We’ve been sucked into a life of daily grind, everyone’s out there trying to get work done, make money and live up to the values of family and society. As we each do this we are disconnected from our core, our essence. To reconnect I need to think of my values. Paul and I want to bring about an initiative to redefine how societies view things like achievement and success. For us, success is defined by who we are and what we stand for.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Values are really important, universal stepping-stones in our lives.’

    ‘To ignite the world we need to connect to our essence, which is grounded in our values.’

    ‘We’re lacking empathy in corporate leadership and in society.’

    ‘There are people every day around the world in different communities that are living their values and delivering impact. We want to celebrate them.’

  • I Want My Kids To Fail! - Paul D. Lowe & Rubria Mendoza

    On this episode Paul is joined by Rubria Mendoza to talk about why it is that children should fail. This might sound a bit disturbing, but Rubria explains her thought process and why she thinks it’s important for parents to think this way.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • I was trying to make everybody happy but I wanted for my kids, I’m happy for them to be anything as long as they’re happy.
    • We want to allow our kids to fail and allow ourselves to be there to support them through that. It’s hard, but through allow our kids to make mistakes we’re providing them with tools and support that will result in them becoming problem solvers and being better at handling difficult situations in their lives.
    • My mom was an elementary teacher and was really tough on my brothers and me, she wanted us to study hard. But I found it hard to deal with failure later in life.
    • If kids are punished for breaking something, they’ll have learned fear. ‘What if I do something wrong?’ And that will be with you all your life. Not making a big deal about it and asking what happened will change their perspectives.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Moms have to face pressures every day and we can be too hard on ourselves trying to be a good mom.’

    ‘We don’t want them to get perfect grades at school.’

    ‘We learn from our experiences otherwise we keep going round and round until we do, or unless we’re happy.’

    ‘You haven’t failed, you’ve learned more.’

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    Rubria is based in St. Louis, MO, where she lives with her family. She has over 20 years of experience in a variety of areas such as accounting, organizing events and expos, and process management. The variety of industries she has been involved, has given her the opportunity to learn that one of the most valuable resource we all have is each other.

    She believes in the power of teamwork and that in order to accomplish that, people have to form partnerships with the ones we interact in our day-to-day activities. To build strong circles, that then become strong communities. She likes to put that idea into action whenever she has the opportunity to contribute helping friends, family, co-workers to expand their potential, and achieve the common and personal goals.
