  • 10 Disciplines Of Love - Honourable Language - with Kelly Brandli

    Continuing with their fascinating mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships.

     

    In this week’s edition of the series, Kelli and Paul talk about being conscious of the words we use in relationships, the things we say to our partners, and why we should never use language as a weapon.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

     

    • Derogatory language, even used briefly and in jest, embeds itself upon the subconscious, and grows incrementally to enforce a negative viewpoint in the long term.
    • Your focus, your physical posture, and your language are the three factors that influence our state of mind and state of being the most. If we change any one of those, we can change our state. 
    • Trying to replace a bad habit is generally hard, but it can be made easier if we replace it with a good habit.
    • We must seek to recognise contempt in our relationships as it begins to emerge, because much like a dry rot, once it sets in, it can be almost impossible to reverse.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

     

    ‘Language is absolutely fundamental to our experiences’

    ‘Using sarcastic language or hostile humour is actually a sign of contempt’

    ‘It’s almost impossible to see positive qualities in your partner once you’ve developed contempt for them’

    ‘Defensiveness is really a way of not taking responsibility for your own mistakes'

    ABOUT THE HOST

     

    One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

     

    “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

     

    Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.

     

    Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.

  • Building Brands That Put Purpose, People And The Planet First - Simon Mainwaring

    Simon Mainwaring is the founder and CEO of We First Branding, a creative consultancy committed to business as a force for good. Simon joins Paul to discuss his positive outlook regarding business, and how it should always be aimed at taking us forward in constructive ways as a society.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Storytelling has always been the best way of connecting with other people. It connects us on a primal level, and is one of the only tried and tested ancient forms of connection still in use today.
    • Social media can be put to damaging use, but we must never discount its positive effects. Using it as a force for good should be at the heart of every business strategy.
    • All of us are an individual, but the real turning point is when individuals decide that the way we should behave and think will be driven by collective wellbeing.
    • Now is the time for real and meaningful change as a society. We are at the brink of no return, and are in danger of seeing our way of life irrevocably damaged if we do not collectively act.

    BEST MOMENTS 

    ‘I was really struggling to figure out why I wasn’t fulfilled by what I was doing’

    ’Those two words, “Wake Up”, really took on a profundity for me that I didn’t expect’

    ’There’s a distinction between healthy self-interest and selfishness’

    ‘COVID has made it very clear to everybody, that on a dime, the world can change'

  • No More Abuse! - TM Hoy

    Paul talks to author, T.M. Hoy, the writer of ‘Lasting Happiness’, about the drastic need for change when it comes to human activity upon the planet. As a species, we have reached the tipping point in history, where our actions have taken such a dreadful toll upon the environment and upon our values, that we must act immediately and decisively if we wish to continue with our current way of life.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Healing the planet is not a case of one-solution-fits-all. Each solution is dependent upon another. It is a delicately balanced house of cards that requires multiple point of attention.
    • The only way that we can hope to change the world is by approaching each challenge with kindness and compassion, and without self-serving agendas of any kind.
    • All relationships have to be based on trust and understanding, and it has to be a two-way street. If we don’t have these things, then we don't have a relationship; we have oppression.
    • Change comes when we, as a society, demand it from those in policy-making positions. We must cry out loudly against injustice and intolerance.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We’ve reached the tipping point’

    ’The real values that govern those relationships always revolve around empathy and compassion’

    ‘First you have to know what you’re doing, and for many people that’s problematic’

    ‘We have to act as one. We have to put our foot down and start making noise'

  • Transitioning From Institution To Individual - Keith Amoss

    Paul talks to Human Resources expert, Keith Amoss, about the strange phenomenon of workplace identity, how it seems to overtake our personal side, and how we as individuals can seek to step out from behind our professional veneer from time to time.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • It’s an unfortunate anomaly of human interaction that we align ourselves entirely to others through our professions. It is almost a shield behind which we hide our true selves.
    • No one can predict the future. Anyone who says he can guarantee the future is exaggerating. We must look for the signs ourselves and try to be prepared for any eventuality.
    • Human contact has a medicinal and reparative effect upon our hearts. We may not know it at the time, but we are feeding our souls by being with others.
    • We are the sum total of our experiences, our upbringing and our environment. Human beings are an endlessly variable species that can be nurtured and directed in any number of ways.

    BEST MOMENTS 

    ‘It’s finding yourself again. It’s reinventing yourself’

    ‘Okay, what have you got to give?’

    ’To some extent you certainly need human contact’

    ‘We have a jar of marbles that basically are our human values'

  • How Effective Do You Believe Your Communication Is? - Keith Daniell

    Paul is joined once more by broadcaster and communication expert, Keith Daniell, who returns to discuss the importance of communication, and the question of belief, clarity and authenticity in our dealings with one another.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When we receive clarity, the message behind any communication is instantly more well-received and respected. It is when we receive confused or mixed messages that our natural conflictual instincts are activated.
    • Our perception of someone ultimately shapes and transforms our interpretation of what someone is saying. We come to each conversation with our own takes in place, sometimes. 
    • These days, for a message to be heard, it needs to be strong or controversial. Social media has reinvented journalism and communication.
    • Lack of clarity in communication is often caused by not thinking things through beforehand. Consider your message carefully, and you’ll communicate it far more clearly.

    BEST MOMENTS 

    ’You’ve got to have an authentic belief in what you are saying’

    ‘Our emotions are dramatically influenced by our thoughts’

    ’Sometimes a very worthy message simply gets lost’

    ’The only way to get clarity is to know what you want to say before you start saying it'

  • 10 Disciplines Of Love: Positive Intent - Kelly Brandli

    In a new mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships

    In this week’s edition, Paul and Kelly discuss the discipline of Positive Intent, including the six elements that comprise it, and how basic human needs play a huge part in our partners’ behaviour...

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The discipline of positive intent is made up of six elements:
      • Work to eliminate threats and judgment
      • Understand, recognise, and meet your partner’s basic needs
      • Learn to decide that you know your partner’s soul and that their intent is pure
      • Take responsibility and learn to say “I’m sorry”
      • To not blame our partners
      • Making a decision and sticking by that decision
    • We are always striving to fulfil one of the six basic human needs, but these may fluctuate and change depending on which stage of life we are in.
    • Our core beliefs play a huge role in our perceptions. Depending on the beliefs we nurture, any given situation can play out to our sensibilities in entirely different ways for others.
    • Blame can be hugely detrimental, not just to your partner, but to yourself, Blame causes defence mechanisms to activate, meaning that our partner will be less likely to engage.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Your partner’s primary motivation in a lot of situations, is to meet one of their six basic human needs’

    ‘Rules and beliefs go very, very much hand-in-glove’

    ‘When someone is in a defensive mode, they’re no longer open to listening or understanding’

    ‘Often, the people we are hardest on are the people who are closest to us’

  • All Life Matters - Paul Kelly

     

    That’s the question being discussed in this week’s show, where Paul is joined by Paul Kelly, whose philosophy on life is that no matter where we are from, and no matter who we are, we all deserve the same opportunities...

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When we arrive in the world, we arrive as equals. Therefore, everyone deserves an equal chance at making a success of life. 
    • The geography of our birth is but one of the most important factors in determining our journey. There are endless variations that come before our conception, that greatly influence our fate.
    • Labels are given to us by others, and no matter how innocuous they may seem, they’re still labels. They still carry some kind of connotation about the way people feel about us.
    • Until we as individuals take responsibility for who we are, our lives don’t matter as much as they should. We need awareness of the power we wield due to the labels we carry

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘From an early age, you can be categorised and labelled’

    ‘Education, to me, is so important’

    ’There is no right,. There is no wrong. There is opinion, only’

    ‘You are who you are. Be who you want to be'

  • Why Milestones Matter - Kym Hamer

    After surpassing an impressive 250 episodes of Mastering The Game Of Life, 'guest host' Kym Hamer talks to 'podcaster extraordinaire' Paul Lowe, about the importance of milestones in our lives, and why it’s always important to keep our eyes on what comes next...

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Milestones are magical moments, but they should never be the sole focus of our lives. We should always look to what comes next.
    • Important milestones in our lives often come with a sense of expectation from society, and when they do not live up to the promise, the experience can be one of disillusionment.
    • We must always remember to give ourselves credit when we achieve things in life. But we must never dwell too long upon the praise, and look to what comes next.
    • Our outlook can affect the way we see the world. By adopting positivity and by turning away from a path of fear, we can bring light into our lives.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Even when the lights are out, I’ll find a candle from somewhere’

    ‘It’s crucial in life that we celebrate our little wins and our big wins’

    ‘Could you refer to me as Twinkle-Toes Lowe?’

    ‘If we walk round with dark glasses on, everything will seem dark'

    In a new mini-series, Paul and his special guest, relationship expert Kelly Brandli, talk in detail about the Ten Disciplines Of Love, the concept developed by Tony Robbins in order to allow us to build extraordinary relationships. 

    In this week’s edition, Paul and Kelly discuss unconditional love and compassion, and how we can ensure that we are equipped to embrace both, so that we may build solid foundations...

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Unconditional love is known as affection without limitations, and with no conditions. Compassion is what motivates people to go out of their way to help the physical, emotional or mental well-being of another. 
    • Working on ourselves is the first step towards being able to share unconditional love. We cannot give away what we do not first possess. 
    • We must establish where we are in any relationship in order to re-calibrate our aims. We can do this by listening effectively instead of instinctively defending. 
    • It is useful in the beginning of a relationship, to set markers, that allow us each to recognize the types of conversations we are having, and how they should be heard. 

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘If you’re waiting for someone else to change before you love them, then you’ve set a condition’ 

    ‘You really feel what your partner’s feeling’ 

    ’The greater danger for most of us is not setting our aim too high and falling low, but aiming low and hitting that mark’ 

    ’Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved'

    ABOUT THE HOST

    One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

    “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!” 

    Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity. 

    Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
