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.
This time round, Paul talks to Keith Amoss, the author behind the chapter, ‘Mentors, Medians and Minotaurs’, and how these three forms of guidance can shape and influence our lives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The mentor is the person who advises us with our best interests at heart. The median offers guidance with no real sense of whether it will help us or not. The minotaur, the bull-headed advisor who does not have our interests at heart.
Sometimes the negative people can inadvertently guide us towards our greatest success. Our will to defy bad advice can be the spur that takes us onwards.
If your personal values do not match those of the people around us, you are unlikely to be happy. We must endeavour to surround ourselves with people who nourish our values.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You’ve met all three types, but don’t discount the minotaurs’
‘If we go on life’s journey, we change gears’
‘When you’re on top of the world, and everything is going well for you, you will more easily shake off any negativity’

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.
