This Human Life

Paul engages in a conversation with Daniel Gasser and Kristen Johnson about the possibilities and implications of artificial intelligence (AI). They discuss the role of AI in mental health, including the use of AI chatbots like PI. They explore the idea of AI as a tool for therapy and coaching, acknowledging that while AI can provide support, it cannot replace the human connection and intuition that comes with working with a real person. The conversation also touches on the potential of AI in music and the importance of vulnerability in human experiences. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• AI can be a powerful tool in various fields, including mental health and coaching. It can provide support and assistance, but it is not a replacement for human interaction and emotional intelligence.
• The fear of AI taking over jobs and replacing humans is not entirely justified. While AI is evolving and becoming more advanced, there are still limitations to what it can do. Human skills, such as vulnerability and intuition, cannot be replicated by AI.
• Vulnerability is a strength and a powerful tool for connection. Being open and authentic allows for deeper connections and understanding between individuals. AI cannot replicate the emotional depth and connection that comes from human vulnerability.
• Music is a universal language that resonates with humans on an emotional level. While AI can assist in composing music, it lacks the imperfections and human touch that make music truly powerful and moving.
• Embracing AI means exploring its possibilities and using it as a tool to enhance our lives. It is important to experiment and see how AI can be beneficial, but also to be discerning and recognize its limitations. Ultimately, humans have the ability to shape and control the use of AI.

BEST MOMENTS

"If we use it right, it's an amazing tool that never has been here before." - Daniel Gasser

"Being vulnerable is one of our greatest powers and it's one of our greatest love-creating energy we have." - Daniel Gasser

"There is this whole thing, particularly within the more masculine energy, so easy to coin the phrase, big boys don't cry, what have you. But what a gift to be vulnerable and to actually go out there to the outside world and say, this is it." - Paul D. Lowe

"But the real interesting part of it in science fiction, Daniel, isn't that the case that it's more interesting when the AI is trying to learn something that is outside of its comfort zone, like understanding emotions?" - Kristen Johnson

"So play around with AI. Do it. Use it. And you will see where it leads you. And you will see if it helps you or not. If it doesn't help you, kick it in the bin." - Daniel Gasser

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul and Kristin Johnson are joined by Daniel Gasser to talk about how we, as humans, can embrace AI and the unknowns that come with it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most of us don’t deal well with the unknown, which is a shame because our brains and our whole being is built for the unknown. As soon as we come out of our mothers it’s unknown, the whole of life is unknown and, the older I get  the more I ask myself: Is it really human nature to fear the unknown or are we just trained by the system and ‘value givers’ that we should fear the unknown? We’re born curious otherwise we wouldn’t learn to walk or speak, anything. My guess is that we’re not afraid of it, we’re told to be afraid of it.
• Some people preach that every new technology is dangerous. When steam trains were developed, seriously intelligent people said that if you travel faster than 100mph your face will be ripped off your skull. They were taken seriously and people would say they’d never take a train, it’s the same with people fearing ChatGPT will take over their jobs. Trains did take over some jobs, but they created a whole lot of new jobs and industries too.
• I used ChatGPT and realised that this thing is cool! The fear went, and the more I interact with AI, the more I use tools built with AI, the more I also make money with it – yes,, I make money with it, I’m a businessman as well as a coach. The more I dive into it the more I see what it is today and what it could look like tomorrow. But, I’m still way more divine and creative as a human being than this little machine with a stack of data interpretation is ever going to be. Use it or don’t, but fear never brings anything good.
• When we’re in a fearful state, we shut down our creativity, spirituality, and our love, we reduce ourselves to an animal, to fight or flight. Knowing that, I can ask myself what I have to do in my mind and emotionally to overcome fear and become emotionally intelligent again? For the emotional part; calm down, meditate, get out of the way in your mind and you’ll find the fear fades away slowly but surely and you can think and be creative and function again. The better your emotions become, you become emotionally and otherwise intelligent again.

BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re all assuming that it’s going to be very bad, that AI is going to eat us alive, take our jobs, take over our lives, do everything. Why are we always assuming the worst?’

‘Need to change our mindset to maybe plan for the worst but expect the best'.

‘I was frightened to death when AI came out, but then I remembered that fear is not a good advisor and the best remedy for fear is taking action'.

‘Our planet is in such a bad state because, collectively, we’re negative'.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined once more by Kristin Johnson and Marc ‘Spanky’ Reid to further discuss a BETTR life this time through the lens of prosperity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• At my current age, my view on prosperity is certainly different to what it was as a teenager and a young dad. Today, the one word that jumps out at me now to do with prosperity is ‘time’. Depending on where you are in the world, we have a system in place that unfortunately we have to exchange time for money to provide for our families and put food on the table. If we had an opportunity to buy back some of that time back by increasing our income, would we take it?
• 97% of people live pay check to paycheck and are not in a position where they can offer whatever means they are able to use to gain wealth and get their finances in order to get back their time. If a larger percentage of the population had the opportunity to leverage the little extra time that they have to purchase back some prosperity time in the future, I’d ask would they take advantage of that opportunity.
• Can you physically do things like working out and taking care of yourself to have a better life? Is there mental health that you could seek out to help you? Mental health is a big thing these days. All of these things are available on the Bettr platform to help anyone and everyone that wants to be part of that community because they don’t require a licence.
• We have people who have made seven figures for the first time in their lives after just 12 months of production as well as people making six figures a month. This is all from a free platform which is 100% referral.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you have ‘time freedom’ most likely your finances are in place, you’re not worried about income coming in, maybe you have money working and making more money on the side – that’s prosperity.’

‘Being able to give of your time for someone that’s in need – that’s prosperity.’

‘Money is talked about almost more than anything else in the Bible – money and love – and I think it’s because we sometimes think money will solve all problems.’

‘Connect with people who are moving in the same direction that you want to move in, do what they do and you’ll get what they’ve got.’

Marc ‘Spanky’ Reid: “It has been and will always be a BURNING desire for me to help everyone WIN! I want individuals and businesses of all sizes to WIN and WIN BIG!

“I was in restoration for 30+ years and was introduced to this group of people who had this really great platform and over the course of several weeks I started hearing how much money they had coming in. I started asking questions and heard that people could get involved if they wanted to, I didn’t have to pay any sort of investment or fee and that changed my entire life trajectory. I gifted my 20 year business and now I’m helping people make huge money. I’m seeing people make hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars by helping thousands of people.”

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined once more by Kristin Johnson and Marc ‘Spanky’ Reid to further discuss the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of BETTR networks, and how they can help people achieve their goals for a better world and a better life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• During Covid the government had a choice: Either put restrictions in place and have tens of millions of people filing for unemployment overnight – what would that have done to the economy and our country? – or create employee retention credit to reward businesses for digging in their pockets to keep their employees. So, in the beginning they had ERC and PPP loans and you could only apply for one as a business owner, and just about everybody went PPP. In 2021 the law was changed in ERC to allow them to apply for both as long as the PPP was forgiven. We don’t charge people to find out f they can claim that money back, but we had a client recently who was told he couldn’t apply for it and we got him $13.5million through ERC. You have the option to file to see if your eligible, or let the government have those funds.
• You feel like you’re the hero of your community, you give back to your community $25-100million through this programme, no matter where you go, you’re going to be looked at as a hero because you’ve drastically impacted those lives, your employees and businesses. It’s a beautiful thing to be able to offer that service to people.
• What happens when you have a family that’s paying $1000 and you can save them 40%? They have an extra $400 a month that they can allocate towards other things for that family. It’s a big deal what Clearwater is doing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We can start to build you a legacy for your family, for employee’s families, and we can show you what that looks like financially.’
‘About 78% of people in the US are living pay cheque to pay cheque, 85% of them don’t like the job they currently have. If you can help a family open up $400-500 it relieves so much stress.’
‘I have a fear of needles, it’s definitely easier for me to spend 5-10 minutes with Clearwater to check my coverage and see if they can get me better coverage than it is to go and get my blood drawn!’

Paul explores the question of what is missing from having a better life. Joined by executive director Kristen Johnson and guest Marc 'Spanky' Reed, they delve into the concept of a "Bettr" life and how it can be achieved. Marc shares his experiences with a platform called Bettr, which aims to make a positive impact on communities and individuals by providing opportunities for income and personal growth. The conversation touches on the importance of legacy, storytelling, and the power of imagination in creating a better world. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their inner childlike curiosity, and take action to make a difference in their own lives and communities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The concept of a "Bettr " life involves more than just financial success. It encompasses better relationships, health, wellness, and experiences.

• The legacy we leave behind is an important aspect of a better life. It involves making a positive impact on others, especially those who are less fortunate, and contributing to our communities.

• Imagination and storytelling play a significant role in creating a better life. They have the power to inspire, transform, and bring hope to individuals and communities.

• Taking action and being intentional about pursuing a better life is crucial. It requires tapping into our childlike curiosity, embracing vulnerability, and having the courage to go after our dreams.

• The power of music and song should not be underestimated. It has the ability to connect people, engage the brain, touch the heart, and bring about positive change.

BEST MOMENTS

"Do you feel that the multi-gazillionaires, these billionaires, these large corporations have done an over-the-top job of taking care of the little people, some of those little people that can't take care of themselves?" - Marc

"For someone to get to that point, just kind of be okay with who they are, who their source God created them to be." - Marc

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein

"Being able to identify 'why?', is just a really powerful thing." - Kristin

"Remember the world's changing. How will you respond?" - Paul

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Maxine Clark to talk about equality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Equality is something that we’re born with, it’s our birthright, but depending on the circumstances it doesn’t always show up. But it is something that is ingrained in the human condition, and I passionately believe in it.
• When I was a child my mother was a civil rights activist who had worked during WWII for Eleanor Roosevelt as a secretary who traveled with her and my Mum learned a lot from her, When she moved back to Miami after Franklin died, she married my Father and she and several of her friends started a school for children with Down’s Syndrome to stop them being put in asylums. That was my introduction to the idea that we all have something to contribute and a reason for being on this planet.
• Growing up when I did in the 50s and 60s it was much more equitable, there was a much larger middle class, you had people in your neighbourhood who were doctors, lawyers, policemen, truck drivers, my father was an electrician. You didn’t know what people made, you didn’t know their politics, you just lived in a neighbourhood with people, humans, friends, dogs and cats, and all the other things that go along with being a child in those days. I feel like we’re all craving that connection, that needing to be seen as a person not as a skin colour, a gender, as tall or short, not as 17 or 75 years old, but as a human being that has something to contribute. That’s how my family lived, I didn’t know there were differences in people just because they looked different than me – everybody looked different than me.
• I have a million questions when I meet someone: Where did you come from? How long have you lived here? How many times have you moved? In asking questions you find common ground and by listening and not talking yourself you find out so much about life and you didn’t have to do it yourself, you can live through someone else’s experiences. That’s how I see it: I’m a problem solver, like both my Mum and Dad, if something’s broken and I know there’s a solution somewhere – or I don’t know yet and I want to see if somebody else is fixing it properly – I’ll go and do that, or I’ll bring people together to do it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Equality is giving everyone a chance no matter where they start from, where they come from, it’s the American Dream and a dream throughout the world.’
‘We all want to be safe, we all want to have friends, we all want to live in a nice home in a nice street where there’s good schools, shopping and transportation.’
‘We have so much potential in each of us.’
‘Our job is to make sure that we see everybody as an individual.’

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and first time guest, Ken Cella, to talk about values, more specifically, a fascinating conversation about the value of values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What’s unique about the contribution that we seek to make in the lives of our clients is it’s really more of a relationship. One of partnering together to have an impact, to help people achieve the goals that are most important to them, and that comes along with a lot of deep discovery, understanding people and what’s important to them.
• There are common themes: People are very focused on their family, their health, having a life that helps them to achieve their purpose and to live out that purpose, and having the financial resources to make the first 3 things happen.
• I strive to meet people where they’re at, and try understand their perspective, try to be open and curious and committed to learning always. I’m always working to be a better listener to understand where people are coming from. It’s a continuous learning journey and not a place I’ve arrived yet.
• When you do listen deeply, when you do have compassion for others, and you have flexibility in your belief system that allows you to anchor to what’s most important but to be open to new perspectives, that serves people well, it’s certainly served me well.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Oftentimes, when we talk to someone about their future, it’s not something they’ve spent a lot of time discussing with anyone ever, so there’s quite a journey there.’
‘It’s a privilege to serve.’

‘I try to start every day with a sense of gratitude for all the things that are in my life that are intentionally there and that I’m blessed to have in my life. Those are the things that drive me to then go out and do the kinds of things that I feel called to do.’

‘Listening is really about respect for the other person and having a sense of appreciation for really wanting to understand them, because it’s just not human nature to want to do that. It’s a lot easier to share what’s on your mind than it is to truly understand someone else.’

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.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson, Dr Keith Amoss, and Paul Clark to talk about the enigmatic topic of hope.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you’ve got hope then you don’t have fear, and if you lose hope then fear immediately comes in and fills that void. I’m a career coach so I work with a lot of people who have just lost their jobs. They may well be very good at their profession, but when they arrive on my doorstep they are hopeless. One of the big problems with that is they associate hopelessness with uselessness. It’s really important to re-instill the idea that it’s not all finished, you’re just in a bad spot. Let’s be hopeful, because many other people have managed in the past, there’s no reason why you can’t.
• Hope has always got that outcome that, potentially, you’re wishing for the best, but it just might not happen. Depending on the degree of your faith – and there is a difference – faith would say (if it’s strong enough) everything will be OK.
• Hope is powerful. Victor Frankel, a psychologist in the Auschwitz concentration camp wrote Man’s Search For Meaning, and what he did was observed the prisoners, those that gave up perished and those that had something to live for and a hope that they would be released back into the outside world and do what it was that they wanted to really do again. That kept them alive. It’s incredibly powerful, not wishy-washy at all.
• I train a girl with severe mental health issues and she loves coming to the gym and I can see it in her; she hopes to do an event next year, she hopes to raise money for charity, she’s hoping she can do these things to push past her mental health barrier.

BEST MOMENTS
‘When you say “hope” you assume it’s a down and out feeling – where you need to find hope – but, if you hone in on hope it’s a good thing’.

‘It does take some action, hope is not just sitting there and waiting’.

‘On British TV shows hope isn’t the main factor in the characters’ journeys, they’re the underdog and remain the underdog and we laugh at that. On US TV shows 9/10 the underdog wins, they thrive off hope. This doesn’t happen for British people’.

‘I was going to say the only expert on hop is Bob, but that would be showing my age!’

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Jim Maher to talk about perceptions of wealth and whether real wealth is material or personal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You really get to a lot of people’s core values when you understand how they perceive wealth. Is their driving factor accumulation or is it about something more like giving back? In our organisation and in my family it’s the exact same core values: Help others, become more, share success.
• Delayed gratification is such an important behavioural characteristic for people to grow in life. It goes beyond accumulating wealth. The things where people (especially children) get in trouble is credit. Our society is very predatory, when they sign you up for credit cards it’s about instant gratification rather than physically handing over something that you’ve earned.
• We’re afraid to teach values in the classroom and engage in those types of conversations. So, the very organisations that were the fabric of what taught children and families values and held them to a standard as to how they lived and what they did in their communities and how they were viewed in those religious organisations, especially after Covid, it’s shocking what has happened demographically.
• There were good things that came from Covid. The healthy cost to society as a whole, despite the millions of people that died around the world, the one thing that in every part of the world was that family became stronger. That was something that we’d lost for a long time and I think that interconnection there was substantially rebuilt.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The very best thing you can do for the world is to make the most of yourself’.

‘Wealth is not just about the dollar, it’s about how we use those resources and what those dollars do’.

‘Wealth is such a variety of things, but wealth is also the totality of life. It’s making a difference, making a contribution’.

‘There’s value in terms of wealth and there are values in terms of keeping your word, punctuality, etc. There is also trust, which is both a financial term and the glue that makes our society go’.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by Kristin Johnson and Tim Eby to talk about inclusion and how to approach the subject with an open heart.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• At times inclusivity is overthought. For me, at least, it really comes down to the idea of belonging. It’s about the idea that if you’re recognised, rewarded and respected in whatever aspect of your role either in your work life or your personal life. Belonging and feeling welcome is key to this.
• I come to my role as executive director of the Special Education Foundation with a passion for helping kids and people with disabilities in many ways because of my own personal experience: I have 3 daughters, the oldest is neurotypical and a special education teacher, the two younger ones are on the autism spectrum. Having raised them I have a little understanding about the world of neurodiversity. But the SEF helps children with all disabilities and our goal is to create the independence for a student to be able to succeed inside and outside of school.
• If you are around people that have challenges (mental, physical or financial) you start to understand that they are very bright, they may just express it differently. For example, one of the strengths of people with dyslexia is that they can see the big picture and many actors – and even Einstein – was dyslexic. Many people that have ADHD or autism are very successful because they’ve been given the resources to be able to do that and had an environment that made them feel safe, not everybody has that especially now with all the economic challenges.
• Life can change in a heartbeat and you never know what impact you’re going to have, what that one act of kindness is going to do. At the very least it can prove to someone that they’re not alone and give them the strength to fight another day because they know they’ve got someone on their team. 

BEST MOMENTS
‘There’s such a power in believing the idea that we all deserve to belong in our world and that people accept you for who you are no matter who you are’.

‘We all want to feel seen, heard, understood, safe, supported, and also, we want to grow. Inclusiveness provides a space for us to grow’.

‘Parenting is a tremendous commitment anyway, but to help these children succeed even as they enter adulthood is hugely important and empowering, not just for the kids but for the parents as well’.

‘Inclusivity helps everyone better understand the world that they’re in and to recognise and reward the difference that we all have’.
