  • Summary

  • 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!”

    His World Game-Changers podcast embraces a mutually-respectful conversational style, with guests that are deemed ‘Unsung Heroes’ – selfless, dedicated people that contribute to the betterment of the world, in whatever way they can…

    Game-Changing People: Nelson Perez (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Nelson Perez
    Jul 24 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to first-time guest, Nelson Perez, about his extraordinary life from fleeing Fidel Castro’s Cuba, fighting for the US in Vietnam, building schools, and how he got to the place he’s in now as a ‘retiree’ in Costa Rica. KEY TAKEAWAYS I grew up in Cuba on a 1600 acre sugar cane plantation which had been in our family around 300 years. Part of the product would go to Hershey and the other part would go to American Sugar for coffee and confectionery, etc. When Castro cam in 1959 he began nationalizing the country including all farms. When they confiscated our farm my grandfather was very upset, in 1962 he went to the center of the closest town and gave an anti-Castro speech. State security took him, put him through a 5 minute trial, and the next day he was executed at the town elementary school where I went to school.The same day my dad was also arrested and when through the same process, but the night before his execution he managed to escape. We met up with him in the middle of the night on a mountain, traveled to the coast and mum, dad and myself got on a 16-foot boat and set out for the US. It took us 4 nights to cross the ocean and 300 yards from shore the engine conked out and the boat started taking on water, so we had to swim to shore.My family became immigrants in Miami where people didn’t want immigrants, but I got through high school, joined the Marine Corps and served 2 tours of Vietnam. After this I went back to school and got a job in education and went on to work for the State Department building schools for workforce development overseas. I’ve since ‘retired’ to Costa Rica where my wife and I do things to benefit not only our family but the country with our real estate company and a new venture with wholesale and retail coconuts. Over a 10-year period worldwide coconut production increased by 16%, but demand increased by 600%. By 2028 the demand for coconut water will increase by $6 billion. Those two facts together made me realize we needed to be in the coconut business. We started off small, 20 acres, but we wanted to be the biggest in Costa Rica, right now we’re at 452 acres and we’ll be adding another 300-400 acres by the end of this year. In three years, we’ll produce 18 million coconuts. BEST MOMENTS ‘I witnessed my grandfather’s execution by government forces at 10 years old. It was a traumatic experience, but it was also a learning experience as everything in life is. I learned what courage and conviction was and how to be a man'. ‘The sense of loyalty my grandfather gave to his sugar cane employees is something that we automatically do today in Costa Rica'. ‘Something I learned from combat training is how to control fear. You can be afraid but you don’t have to demonstrate or show it'. ‘Keep plugging forward, keep your values and don’t try to impose them or expect them from somebody else, something will always work out'.

  • How To Leave A Legacy (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Jack Perry

    How To Leave A Legacy (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Jack Perry
    Jul 17 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his chat with Jack Perry about how to leave a legacy in more detail after their opening thoughts on the last episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first key element to how you create a legacy begins with aligning one’s inner self with their external behaviour. From there it becomes an inherently external thing, whether that be getting boots on the ground doing the groundwork necessary to create a legacy through an initiative or in a community.To create the positive legacy that most of us desire in our lives you must make your words align with your actions. If that isn’t happening within you & you aren’t walking the walk of what your profess, it opens the door to creating a negative legacy. It’s easier to create a negative legacy than a positive one because positive legacy entails going out and putting into practice what they’re talking about, what they profess, what they claim to be their values, attitudes & beliefs. The best form of action one can take to create the legacy they want is by not necessarily doing anything actionable at all. Listening is a passive activity, but it’s incredibly important for anyone to be heard & listened to. Some of the most powerful or influential people in society are known as great listeners, they have an ability to tap into a state of being in an intentional way that acknowledges & validates the feelings & emotions of the person they’re listening to. Be present wherever you are.The global scope that World Game-Changers works on to achieve its goals is what differentiates ourselves from other types of initiatives. We’re looking at root issues across all societies & cultures, particularly regions of the world that are inhibiting this kind of global infusion. BEST MOMENTS ‘It all centres around one being able to translate their values, beliefs & attitudes into tangible & actionable behaviour that others can observe'. ‘The legacy that we hope to leave is in part shaped by us, but it’s also very much shaped by others’ perceptions of us'. ‘Being present has allowed by to become comfortable & familiar with World Game-Changers. Ultimately, you have to dive in, there’s never going to be the ‘right’ or ‘perfect’ time, jump in head first & see where the ride takes you'. ‘We connect ourselves to people who share the same energy or core values that we have, that connection is critical to us cultivating & leaving the type of legacy that we want to leave'.

  • How To Leave A Legacy (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Jack Perry

    How To Leave A Legacy (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Jack Perry
    Jul 10 2024

    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to a first-time guest, Jack Perry; discussing how to leave a legacy – such a simple word, with such a profound impact.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When I think about legacy I think about a particular question: Who do you want to be remembered as after you’re no longer here on Earth? What would you want people to say about you in your obituary or at your funeral service? Other people’s perceptions, especially in critical moments really encapsulate what ‘legacy’ is all about.
    • Legacy can be enjoyed during our time on Earth, it’s not necessarily something that manifests entirely after one’s passing. It’s something that can be cultivated and created on a local, community scale or nationally and globally.
    • Long-term, big picture thinking is important, but for any sort of initiative to have success and a legacy to be cultivated, whether that’s for a person or a corporation – there has to be a balance between that big picture vision and granular focus and attention to detail. That’s where the groundwork is done.
    • World Game-Changers is a little daunting coming into it and seeing how much ground there is to cover, but something that’s cemented my passion for the initiative is the opportunity to cover so much ground and to have a role in affecting good in the world and making sure it aligns with WGC’s mission statement: Together as one, and the five values.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Legacy provides a fundamental alignment between one’s inner self and the person that they exhibit themselves as externally through their actions and behaviours which is crucial to leading the life you want to live'.

    ‘I’d prefer to have a quiet legacy; someone who cares about others and furthered the good in the world wherever possible'.

    ‘Timing is never going to be perfect, it’s what you make of the timing'.
