    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'.

  • Letting Go: The Pathway to Freedom – Paul D. Lowe & Daniel Gasser

    Letting Go: The Pathway to Freedom – Paul D. Lowe & Daniel Gasser
    Jul 3 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to returning guest Daniel Gasser about letting go, and how it has led him on a path to freedom. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you zoom out of the day-to-day stuff, we all have a purpose in life and that’s been defined by our higher consciousness before coming here as a human being. That purpose is prevented by our ego, and the reason we’re here is to make this journey, to experience things, to get to a point where we realise that if you can just let go of things then the things that are meant for me can come to me. This is very difficult for men like I used to be with a huge ego who needed to have control.Letting go of control takes something from a man. He must first of all become humble, and then see that there are greater things out there than himself. The cool thing is that when we manage to let go, we very quickly experience that good things are coming, the good things we were struggling and fighting for we invisibly and unconsciously pushed away by doing so, they can now come to us as well as many other beautiful things.The higher consciousness is our natural. Normal way of being, it’s spirit. This body, mind, brain, heart, emotions are a journey we’re making, a dream we’re dreaming. The higher state of consciousness has control because it has decided to come here as a human being for whatever reason. The problem comes when you let the ego take control.There’s a reason I am here, even if I don’t get it. It doesn’t matter if I get it or not, in fact it’s probably better if I don’t. Start to trust in spirit. That something above me – not god or creation – my spirit has decided to live this story here, so it’s going to be good and magic things will happen. If we think good things will happen to us, they will and we’ll see that this works. BEST MOMENTS ‘I was a man with a huge ego, and a man with a huge ego can’t easily let go of things, he has to have control and be in charge and that prevents a lot of things'. ‘It’s fear based; if we let go we no longer have control. We don’t have control; we just think we do'. ‘Life is not meant to be a struggle or difficult, life is meant to be beautiful'. ‘Emotions are not going to kill us. Why are we so afraid of them?’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (UK) Paul’s Story: Emerging From The Forest (USA) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (UK) Mastering The Game Of Life Book (USA) Speaking From Our Hearts Books: Volumes 1-3 (Available on Amazon)World Game-Changers Group ABOUT THE GUEST Daniel Gasser is a coach who focuses on men and their emotions. “I enjoy helping people, seeing fantastic human beings waking up, being amazed at what's actually possible and falling in love with their evolution. Because I saw in my own life what's possible if we dare ask for help I live it every day with joy, happiness and bliss. “My higher purpose is to show human beings that we are not slaves, not working robots but highly spiritual, divine and extremely powerful beings. Is to make people see our world as what it is; Paradise and life are a gift, a path we chose as an experience to make our higher consciousness understand what life is. Is to help people increase their brain activity to see beyond the illusion, and the lies and to become empathetic, telepathic and eventually telekinetic. Connect with Daniel, on LinkedIn.

  • Creating From Nothing – Paul D. Lowe & Darla Beam

    Creating From Nothing – Paul D. Lowe & Darla Beam
    Jun 26 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to life coach Darla Beam, about the topic "Creating From Nothing" and what it means to them both. KEY TAKEAWAYS This really symbolises a childlike wonder. When you were young everything was a new adventure, the sky was the limit and you had zero fears. You were excited to be, play & dance, or just sin in circles. It’s about returning back to who we inherently are meant to be.As we grow it’s like we put on more layers and it gets heavy & hot until we’re almost suffocated. This prohibits us from ascending our consciousness. As we become aware of these layers we can look at, be conscious about, aware and make committed choices to take the layers off. Each time we do we feel a bit lighter, more aware, conscious. This opens us up to new possibilities, potentials and exciting things we couldn’t have imagined otherwise.When you focus your energy on self-growth you don’t need the invitation/gift from the universe to suffer and learn lessons, because you’re creating it for yourself.If you’ve ever done a connect the dots drawing, you can’t see the picture until the end. We all already have the picture, in our work together we connect those dots, and then you see this beautiful thing that felt like a puzzle before, but is now an incredibly lovely picture; you get to choose how to colour it in. BEST MOMENTS ‘We are born so whole & pure, we have it already inside of us'. ‘We’re spiritual beings having a physical experience; we’re here to ascend through the levels on consciousness'. ‘The universe will have it no other way; we’re going to have pain in our lives, and we’re going to have self-growth, but we get to choose between these'. ‘I drill all the way down into the core of the essence of the human being to focus on supporting them, and finding who they inherently are at their essence'.

  • The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (10): Multi-Inspirational Insights From Around The World

    The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (10): Multi-Inspirational Insights From Around The World
    Jun 19 2024
    On this episode very special 600th episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul concludes the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to many guests, including some familiar voices from across the series & around the world, to close out the topic. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul Kelly: My take on the topic comes from the time I met Brian Clough. I thanked him for all the things he’d done for Nottingham Forest FC and the people of Nottingham, and he said: “You’re a very nice young man, you’ll go a long way.” In those few words my life changed, they elevated my thought process about myself, where I was at and what I could do. His words gave my life new meaning. Nicole Bellisle: I think it’s the one our ancestors told about a time in human history when we forgot that we are nature & how to connect to one another, what our human potential is capable of, and how powerful & empowered we can be in community. We’re living that moment of prophesy where we get to remember again and heal the cultural patterns that have caused us to forget out connectivity and to be separate. We do this through loving ourselves and our neighbour, and remembering what matters most, and makes us most human.Megan Gardiner: For me it’s about our ancient origins and how we’re connected to civilisations that don’t necessarily come from our planet but come from other planets, in other galaxies, in other star systems. The thread that moves through all that information is that we are one. The big thing that comes through is kindness, both to each other and our environment, that will pull us through.Kiran Addala: My take regards volunteering. I started volunteering when I moved to the UK in 2002 at Age Concern. It was fascinating and there were lots of stories I took from their life experiences & advice; I’ve been volunteering for the last 20 years now.Chantal Francisco: Being in a position of second place provides great leverage in making the world a better place. When we take a subservient or supportive role, or being a volunteer, it creates a better world by providing more people with the same mindset empowering other people. It multiplies and creates a better place for everybody.Kristin Johnson: For me it’s remembering being read to by my mother, and being read Greek mythology by my grandfather; listening to all of his nature lore and understanding that we too have a rich history and connection to nature, this planet & our ancestors. We should realise that stories are all around us, not just ours or those of great and powerful people, but those of everyday people and unsung heroes.

    The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (9) – Paul D. Lowe & Jim Maher
    Jun 12 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Jim Maher about what the topic means for him. KEY TAKEAWAYS There’s an author called Bobby Buford who wrote ‘Half Time: Moving From Success to Significance’, which is for people thinking about retiring & talking about purpose. You have periods of time where it’s been go-go-go for various reasons to a new chapter which speaks to my current journey.I’m a serial entrepreneur, I’ve lived a life of agriculture & watching people get to a point where they would pass or become disabled & their life’s worth was sold off – a pig was a pig, a cow was a cow, and an acre or farm ground was an acre or farm ground. There was no enterprise around value built. My fondness for these closely held business owners means I recognise what they do for their communities & the people they employ.32,000 companies employ 10-330 in a 150-mile radius of St. Louis. These account for 49% of the entire workforce, but 2/3 of those companies are declining. What does that mean for the opportunities for all the employees in those companies? 70% of the business owners were at or past natural retirement age. The story that tells for the future is not that bright unless we do a much better job helping these business owners.I could feel the people’s pain that we worked with & their frustration with miscommunication, it should be easier. After a long time looking, we saw that if it was to be done, it would have to be done by me. We built an organisation where we put all the service providers under one roof that the clients (and my widow) would need. BEST MOMENTS ‘There’s always a bright one in everyone’s life & my bright one is my wife'. ‘We’ve definitely had rapids & rough water along the journey because it hadn’t been done before but once people saw that I had all the licences it became an easy button'. ‘Our core values are really simple: Help others become more, share success'. ‘When you know you have the technology in place, & the people that have the backgrounds in those areas to help others, that’s exciting'.

    The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (8) – Paul D. Lowe & Sam Goodwin
    Jun 5 2024
    On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Sam Goodwin to discuss what the topic means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS I speak full time, primarily to corporate & faith-based audiences, about uncertainty & how we embrace & manage it in our personal & professional lives. My presentations are narrative-driven & include many of the dramatic elements of my stories.In 2019 I was taken hostage in Syria. Thanks to a long list of people who worked tirelessly the situation ended peacefully. Although that was very uncomfortable & a very challenging time, there has been so much good that’s come from it.I was pushed to a point of overwhelming uncertainty, truly life or death. But through that I learned some things that were helpful to me & I feel can be helpful to others too. The same recipes I found to manage & survive are also relevant to all of us when we’re facing our own versions of uncertainty.If we shift out mindset & recognise our uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, to develop, to make new connections, whatever it might be; that can be transformative, it can really change the way we overcome challenges, interact with our friends & family, there’s so much opportunity there if we choose to view it that way. BEST MOMENTS ‘I believe in the power of storytelling & the way we speak to ourselves is very important as well & can lead to happiness, success & a range of other things too'. ‘I feel not so much survivor’s guilt as survivor’s responsibility. To share what I learned & how I grew through this experience'. ‘Traits like self-esteem & confidence are extremely important in how we treat ourselves & affect how happy & successful we are & how much we enjoy our lives'. ‘You have to lean into gratitude, control the things you can control, & recognise uncertainty as an opportunity for growth'.
