Episode Details

In this Inner Mentor episode, Paul reflects on an unexpected conversation

What began as a routine journey—headphones on, laptop open, focused on work—turned into a powerful reminder about life, ageing, success, and what truly matters. 

After striking up a conversation with an elderly gentleman and his wife, Paul found himself listening to stories of love, loss, friendship, adventure, and gratitude. The encounter prompted a deeper reflection on the reality that one day, if we're fortunate, we will all grow old and look back on the lives we've lived. Drawing on insights from Bronnie Ware’s The Five Regrets of the Dying, Paul explores the dangers of living according to other people's expectations and the cost of working too hard at the expense of relationships, health, and experiences. This episode is a reminder that while building a successful business is worthwhile, it should never come at the expense of building a meaningful life.
