Life Passion and Business Paul Harvey

In this unique episode, your host Paul Harvey delves into the fascinating concept of "phantasm" and its profound impact on how our life narratives are formed. He explores how our perceptions, fueled by information, experiences, and influences, shape our understanding of reality and consequently our actions. Understanding this powerful tool can be crucial in charting our life path in a more meaningful way.
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. Paul also delves into why we often choose to ignore certain realities and instead embrace narratives that suit our situations better, thereby inviting us to step into the world of 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.
Peppered with valuable resources and recommendations, Paul shares thought-provoking insights from podcasts like Philosophy Tube and Things Fell Apart.

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.

A conversation about authenticity for June 2022: the great news is the relevance of this stuff never changes. For that free focus conversation, check out the links below. Being real and authentic in the entertainment industry is the difference between a good and great show. But what if we were genuine in everything we do? I have a special admiration for those with a natural talent for music and performance. I had the acting bug in my 20s and still love singing in groups. 
Our guest in the show is a creative powerhouse. She has written and performed numerous one-woman shows and has three musicals to her name. She plays, sings, composes, and has written five books, plus she speaks at live events. 
Deborah Johnson’s life is about expressing creativity; that journey began when she was nine. She was born into a musical family with a sister who plays the violin. Deborah was guided to the piano and progressed quickly in her ability to play and sing. 
She was the young little pianist who would do a solo piece at events and fairs. 
Deborah took on her first students when she was 13. After college with an MA, she taught music at all levels, but her passion has always been creation and performance. That has been a story of discipline and dedication to her craft. As she says, “ It is putting in the reps,” she believes in hard work to get a result..
Being Real and Authentic.
 
In our conversation, we discussed Deborah's process, her fear, and what drives her. Deborah is a solopreneur who is constantly looking for the next creative project.
After over twenty years in the entertainment industry, she has been nominated for multiple GRAMMY Awards. She’s built numerous self-driven businesses and is an expert on constantly reinventing yourself in the gig economy.Deborah is actively speaking and performing for both live and virtual events and will continue with her creative projects, as she said, “ Until my kids put me in a home.”
