Hello beautiful people

On today’s podcast we have the absolutely exceptional Paul Watkins. Paul is a pharmacist, business owner, a stay at home dad and self-proclaimed nerd. He is a keynote speaker, author of the book, ‘Lost and Found: Why We Need Adventure’ and winner of the 2019 6633 Arctic Ultra; referred to as ‘the toughest, coldest, windiest footrace on the planet’; a self-sufficient race over 614km in the Canadian Arctic with temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees!

What I personally love about this conversation is, well, a lot really! Paul and I are really like minded; the kind of people that have more books than they do anything else, more things highlighted than is probably necessary, more notes than you know what to do with and are more likely to find friendships in the writings of ancient philosophers and adventurers that have passed. It’s this sense of growth and development that really pulls people to Paul; and it’s how he takes this growth and development away from the books and continues his journey of self-exploration to the elements and some of the most extreme conditions on Earth.

In this conversation Paul shares what it means to lean into the savage within, that we are more than our job; that we are indeed the stories and experiences of our lives, and the importance of failure that lead him to a winning mindset in the 6633 Arctic Ultra.

And for those of you that may not make it to the end of this podcast, I want to share part of what Paul believes it means to him To Be Human; Go and find things that are not your job title, your business card or your pay packet; find things that are essentially you, that you are passionate about and then go and write the best goddamn story you can!

Enjoy one of my absolute favourite conversations, with the phenomenal Paul Watkins.
