The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (4) – Paul D. Lowe & Martin Leifeld World Game-Changers
-
- Business
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul continues the mini-series based around the "Second Greatest Story Ever Told." This time he talks to World Game-Changers' Chairman, Martin Leifeld about what the topic means for him.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It seems to me that the second greatest story ever told is your story and my story, each one of us as a human being has a story & it’s the most important one because it’s about our life, our perceptions, our life experience. It implies that we can make something great & become someone great.
The greatest truth is in one sense discovering your greatest purpose. It’s universal that we become the greatest, most virtuous, most loving, most generous person we can be, a person who appreciates others & is rewarded by appreciating & being grateful for those around you, even the ones that give us a hard time.
Suffering is an interesting thing. It can make the best out of people or it can lead to people becoming their worst selves. It all comes down to what we do with what we’ve got where we are now.
Faith is very important to me along with family and service. I think about them every single morning as part of my morning practice of preparing for the day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Every human being has this equally provided by virtue of being a human being, you can be poor or rich, but it’s what you do with what you have, where you are'.
‘We’re all world game changers'.
‘Over the course of life we acquire experience which shapes us & causes us to reflect on our lives & shapes ourselves & what we see around us'.
‘Every moment in our day is an opportunity to decide & we perceive it accordingly'.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Asking someone to donate money is tough!
Martin Leifeld would sit in his car rehearsing his ask with sweaty palms, praying he wouldn’t get another rejection. Determined to master his craft he learned the power of embracing discomfort and through powerful human behaviour techniques was able to raise over $500 Million for three organisations!
Martin served as vice chancellor for university advancement at the University of Missouri–St. Louis for ten years. While there, he led a dramatic increase in fundraising, averaging $26.4 million per year. Prior to joining UMSL, Martin was associate vice president for university development at Saint Louis University, where he led his team raising $158 million in 3 years.
Raising money became his Number One passion and Martin has since been able to distil the art of fundraising into core fundamental principles and a clear formula that anyone can learn.

ABOUT THE HOST
Paul has made a remarkable transformation from existing for many years in dark, desperate despair; to now living a really healthy, happy & fulfilling life.
From an early age, he was in the vice-like clutches of the demon drink & constantly embroiled within a dark cocktail of toxic beliefs, self-hate & destructive violence.
Along with his empathetic and dedicated team of world-class coaches & mentors, Paul’s purpose is deeply transformational:
Developing World Game-Changers…
He is extremely passionate about helping others to find their purpose, have a voice & ultimately, make a real difference.
This has been built on a long & distinguished history of heart-centred coaching and mentoring. He has also been responsible for raising significant amounts of funds for many charities & good causes around the world; positively impacting & inspiring thousands of children – mainly from challenging backgrounds – within the UK & worldwide.
Through this World Game-Changers podcast & books, he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-aut
