Life Passion and Business Paul Harvey

It is Father's Day in the UK, and it is worth reflecting on. In fact, this podcast owes its inception to my reflections on my father's life when he died in 2017. 
On this show, we’ll explore the challenges that fathers face, the importance of recognizing their contributions, and the impact they have on our lives. From my own experiences as a stay-at-home dad to the lessons learned from my father, this episode is a tribute to all dads out there.
If you've ever struggled with family relationships or wondered how to build better ones, this episode has something for you. Let's celebrate the dads, acknowledge their efforts, and see how we can foster more understanding and connection.
Thanks for tuning in, and happy Father’s Day!

Each of us is looking for a solution to heal our ailments and improve our lives. This podcast documents my health and wellness journey. Where would I be without Running and Yoga? I was speaking to a client this week about the power of Eastern methodologies like Tai Chi and Qi Gong. I have experienced both and enjoyed them. That conversation stayed with me and reminded me of my conversation with Rich Morley.
As with all of these podcast conversations, they are timeless and worth a relisten. If you are looking for focus coaching the link is here. Rich Morley and the healing power of Tai Chi.  At 16 Rich Morley was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, by 30 he was medically retired and living on benefits, today he is fully recovered and supporting others to turn their own lives around. How did he do it? Through the healing power of Tai chi.
This remarkable story is a lesson in never giving up, even when the medical profession has given up on you. It is about discovering what is possible beyond medical intervention. And it is about harnessing the power of belief to turn your life around.
As our conversation unfolds, you will gain insight into the history and power of Tai chi, both as an aid to healing and as a martial art practice.

Today, we're diving into the intriguing concept of simplicity vs. complexity. Have you ever noticed how we naturally tend to add more stuff to our lives instead of taking things away? Let's explore why that is and how we can shift our mindset to embrace simplicity.
This week, I was fascinated by a conversation on the Hidden Brain podcast with Leidy Klotz, a professor at Virginia University. He shared a story about building blocks with his child. He would tend towards adding blocks while his son would take them away. It got me thinking about our cultural tendencies to complicate things and how we might benefit from doing the opposite. Do we need all this complexity, or is there a way to live more meaningfully by stripping back?What are we hiding from or masking with the complexity? 
Join me as I reflect on my life and the accumulated clutter, especially in our busy schedules. I'll share insights on how saying 'no' can empower and how Eastern philosophies like Buddhism advocate for a simpler, more focused existence. Whether it's our personal lives or business strategies, sometimes less truly is more.
So, here's my invitation to you: take a moment to look at your life and see where you might be adding unnecessary complexity. Could you simplify things and find more joy in the process? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, so feel free to reach out. Let's chat and maybe even have a conversation about how you can simplify your life, too.

Hey there! It's Paul Harvey, coming at you with another bite-sized episode of the Life, Passion, and Business shortcast. Today, I'm tuning in from a beautiful garden near Berwick, and I want to dive into a topic that causes so much pain – the idea of pushing water uphill or fighting unwinnable battles.
Ever found yourself raging against the world, trying to change things that just won’t budge? Trust me, I've been there and met countless others in the same boat. Sometimes, we get so caught up in resistance that we miss the opportunities for change right in front of us. It's all about attitude and acceptance.
I'll share some insights on how acceptance can open doors to new possibilities, drawing from Stephen Covey's concept of the circle of influence and concern. By shifting our perspective and embracing what's within our control, we can see real change.
Join me in this reflective chat, and let's explore how we can move from frustration to a place of grace and growth. And hey, if you find this helpful, share it with a friend – because sharing is caring and helps others find great content, too.
