In this very special series of episodes, Paul talks to the co-authors of his amazing new book, ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’, in which twenty global co-writers have shared stories about how they have mastered this ever-evolving game.
In this episode, Paul talks to master fundraiser and philanthropist, Martin Leifeld, about the importance of structuring routine in your day, how it can drive you towards greater success, and the ways in which he prepares himself to meet the challenges ahead.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We are all born with an opportunity to do something valuable with our lives. By preparing for our day with intention, we maximise our impact upon each day.
The way in which we approach each day will influence the way in which our day plays out. Relax, re-focus, and re-align.
Prayer and meditation can serve to enhance our self-awareness and self-esteem. They aid our relationships and help to combat the onset of depression.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I think life is a gift’
‘Each day is a choice’
’This is my purpose. This is how I define myself'

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 distill the art of fundraising into core fundamental principles and a clear formula that anyone can learn.

ABOUT THE HOST
One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”
Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.
Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
“Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts, By Embracing Our Hearts!”
