Description

Host Paul Corke shares the personal moments—from surviving Hillsborough at 18 to a pivotal loss in 2016—that led him to reframe his mindset and shape the Mindset Equation he uses today.


In this opening episode, Paul Corke tells his story—how early passions for books, music and film, confidence built through martial arts, and the philosophy of Bruce Lee’s “be like water” laid the groundwork for adaptability and self-belief. At 18, Paul survived the Hillsborough disaster, a life-altering experience that deepened his gratitude and sense of purpose. Two decades later, after a career spanning retail banking to organisational development leadership, the loss of his father in 2016 prompted a new question of legacy and a fresh reframing of what success means.

Paul introduces his Mindset Equation - Aspiration, Belief, Drive/Motivation, Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, Learning Agility x Growth Mindset - and shares practical ways to apply it in a fast-changing world.

You’ll hear:

Perfect if you’re at a crossroads and want grounded tools for mindset, purpose and progress.
