    Two Friends, Three Pivotal Moments: Dr. Nik and James Prince on “And That Changed Everything”

    What do golf greens, roller coasters, and a simple slinky toy have to do with building a purposeful life? For Stel and James, each was the beginning of a powerful story that shaped who they are today.  In this crossover episode, Mary sits down with her dear friends and former Meaningful Mischief co-hosts, Dr. Stel (also known as Dr. Nick) and James Prince, to explore the pivotal experiences that continue to guide their lives and work. James is a UK-born criminal defence lawyer turned wealth advisor in Abu Dhabi, helping high-net-worth families connect money to meaning. Stel began as an optometrist but expanded his practice to helping people, teams, and families connect to their broader vision and purpose.  From James’ teenage years on the golf course that sparked a career in law and wealth management to Stel’s early optometry visits that inspired his path as a visionary coach and author, their stories show how the qualities that define us often appear long before we recognize their full influence. Highlights from the conversation: James’s first lessons in discipline and connection on the golf course and how they opened doors into leadership and service.Stel’s first pair of glasses, his leadership through sports, and how creating inclusive teams became a lifelong theme.The rollercoaster moments, both on the track and in life, that taught them courage, trust, and new ways of seeing possibility.Why connection, contribution, and embracing your story matter for anyone seeking to live with purpose.
