In the latest edition of his ‘If I Ruled The World…’ series, Paul talks to fellow game-changer and ‘Mastering The Game Of Life’ co-author, Richard Gerver, about the ways in which he would, given the opportunity, restore faith in the world by giving hope to those who need it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The world we live in today has forced a global realignment of perspectives regarding the very we exist. There seems to be an absence of hope as we have no fixed endpoint.
We create hope by changing the way we educate, raise and manage people, to not just depend on the norm, but to find ways to thrive when change happens.
Society has many difficult problems to solve. The pandemic has acted as a global catalyst, holding up the issues of the world in stark focus, and forcing us to confront them.
There is hope and opportunity, and if we need it, control is still available. In order to gain it we must stop looking at the grander picture and focus on the smaller things.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We were prepared, educated and raised, to live in a world of certainty’
’The pandemic is an accelerant. It’s a catalyst'
‘For so many of us our lives have become reactive instead of proactive'
‘Appreciate the small things with new eyes and in a new way'

ABOUT THE GUEST
Richard Gerver has been described as one of the most inspirational leaders of his generation. He is an award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and world-renowned thinker.
Richard began his career in education, most notably as headmaster of the failing Grange Primary School. In just two years, he famously transformed it into one of the most acclaimed learning environments in the world; celebrated by UNESCO and the UK Government for its incredible turnaround.
Richard has since transitioned to the global stage where he uses his trademark humour and natural style to deliver passionate, provocative and authentic speeches. He draws upon the first-hand experiences and unique insights garnered from frontline education, to explore the links between great leadership, human potential, change, and innovation.
His ability to connect experiences across many seemingly different environments helps people to expand their thinking and perception of potential. It is this authenticity and uniqueness which has helped Richard win him global acclaim and invitations to speak on the most recognised stages, including TED, the RSA and BBC radio.

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.
