Life Passion and Business Paul Harvey

A flashback to January 2021 with Jonathan Nazario: I was looking for a show to reshare with you today, and I wondered what happened to Jonathan, given we are three years on.At the time of recording, Jonathon was 17. The book is still available on Amazon, but his social chnnels look dormant. I have reached out, and I will see what transpires. If you are interested in Focus coaching the link is here, and at the bottom.   
 
______________________________________________________This podcast brings a different perspective to my usual conversations because, unlike most of my guests, Jonathon Nazario is just 17 years old, which, from my (57-year-old) perspective, is the very beginning of life’s experiences.
His book is called Society, The World In Which We Live and is a self-help philosophical mix that is his take on the world, highlighting human behaviour, education, and the business world.
When this young author approached me through one of the podcast matching sites. I have to admit, my old cynic reared its head and said
“What can a 17-year-old possibly know about Life, Passion and Business?”
 
Intrigued to know more, I followed through with an introductory chat that turned into a refreshing conversation and an invitation to come on the podcast.
In this programme, we discuss his personal view of success, contribution, and the meaning of life. Jonathon has big plans for the future and a vision that includes exceeding his personal expectations.
Despite being an old cynic, it is refreshing to hear the perspective of one so young. With his positive mindset, Jonathon will likely fulfil his vision, and I hope I have the opportunity to catch up with him again in 10 years to see how things are going.
If you want to catch up with Jonathon Nazario, you can find his book on  Amazon.com. Given that we are three years old, the social links seem to be dormant.

In this show we are looking at the power of appreciation. It is so easy to underappreciate people and take things for granted. In this shortcast, we will explore the impact of showing gratitude and appreciating others.
Appreciation is an indispensable tool that can significantly improve our lives. It has a chain reaction; when we appreciate someone or appreciate ourselves, it boosts our morale, making us better, efficient and productive. Join me as we unravel the power of appreciation, gratitude and how it can help make our lives better.
Appreciate people around you, work colleagues, and even ourselves. I know from experience that showing appreciation and gratitude makes a massive difference in people's lives. Acknowledging people's efforts, no matter how small, goes a long way than we can imagine. It uplifts their spirit and makes you feel good about yourself.
Expect insights, tips, and tools that can help you better appreciate yourself and people around you, and the difference it can make in your life. So tune in and let's explore the power of appreciation and gratitude.
Share your thoughts on appreciation and how you might need support with self-appreciation. Do check out the Unsung Heroes podcast, as mentioned in the show. It is a very short podcast that appreciates those who have gone above and beyond. Remember, with anything good you've enjoyed, share it with a friend.  That's how people find good podcasts.

Our conversation is a healing journey about finding peace, purpose and happiness. It is a story of family values and grief, an example of a life of change and progression.Maya Manseau grew up watching courtroom dramas and wanted to become a lawyer. Looking for the right college degree for the legal profession, a family friend advised her to get a technical degree.  She became an associate in electrical engineering in the 1980s when not many women were taking those classes. She learned a lot about how to stand her ground and tell rude jokes with the boys. By the time she left college, her legal career was forgotten.  Going into the world, her career path followed the growth of the computer industry.
Changing Values
Many years later, she was travelling the US with a successful sales career when circumstances pushed her to reevaluate her life. She needed more time for her family. Two close family members were struggling with health issues, and her teenage daughter was growing up fast, and she was missing the journey. The time was right to make a move. She started a wedding photography business, and it flew. It did well, and her daughters joined her in the business. Together, they had nine wonderful years creatively recording the magical wedding days of couples across the US.But in 2013, it all changed; Lindsey, her oldest daughter, developed leukaemia and died within the year, and so began the third and current iteration of Maya Manseau’s life.Since her daughter’s passing, she has written two books “Living Intentionally After Loss: Passion and Purpose and Navigating the Small Business Path.
Peace Purpose and Happiness
Her daughter Lindsey was instrumental in Maya’s new career, which they created together in the last few months of her life.Our conversation is about that journey and what she discovered on the way. Since then, it has become a mission to help others who are grieving some loss, to help them find themselves again, speak their truth, and turn their loss into something meaningful.

Pulling insights and examples from everyday life, historical events, and even modern political curtains, this episode provides a vivid depiction of the world seen through the lens of a phantasm.

This illuminating conversation will not just get you thinking about your own perception of reality, but also about the wider societal narratives that govern our collective psyches. From the conflict in the Middle East to climate change discourses and intriguing conspiracy theories, listen as Paul brings alive the many shades of human perception and its power to mould the world as we see it.

Join Paul Harvey, a midlife coach, as he takes you on a journey of exploration of one of life's most essential skill sets - listening.
For Paul, this weekend has revealed one of the fundamental aspects of listening: it is the block that changes our inability to hear what is being said. This conversation is a thoughtful reflection on the art of listening, with personal experiences from his coach training and an analysis of how often we misinterpret information or fail to listen altogether. listening isn’t just a passive action but is a skill we must hone and work at to make our interactions truly meaningful. He also shares an enlightening perspective on how our experience and history can often hinder our ability to listen completely.
The episode doesn't stop there but also addresses how this 'not listening' can manifest in other aspects of our lives due to resistance stemming from our fundamental beliefs or values. Struggles with change, weight, and overall personal development are just some of the many areas of life where this principle holds and is undoubtedly worth examining.
This show reflects on the larger implications of our human inability to listen because we do not want to because of what it might mean if we did. Paul suggests a new world of inquiry and invites listeners to do the same. He challenges the listeners to identify and address their own blind spots, which can potentially unlock their path forward.
