KEY TAKEAWAYS

It also opens up the nurture vs nature debate while he shares how his upbringing has been a part of who he is now. You also get influenced, may it be partly or greatly, by people you interact with.
To what degree did mindset affect Frank’s progression in life? Frank says he loves professional football, but he’s not fond of spending 90 whole minutes playing on the field. But he had to concentrate and do everything he could to win the game.
Frank shares lessons from the time when he was playing for Nottingham Forest. He’s satisfied with how his team are always putting out their best every time they play. Respect is important so they’ll trust you 100%.
There will be challenges in life. Whether it be football or personal life, Frank says to turn it around and stay positive. Don’t be too hard on yourself and everyone in your environment.
What are Frank’s insights on mentoring in life and football? Frank believes it’s very vital. It might be difficult at first. Sometimes, you think you’re just talking casually to someone you admire, but you eventually pick up good things from the conversation. For Frank, it started like that. There are different ways.

BEST MOMENTS

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“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.”
