An open & sincere conversation

Listening to what Paul has to share is always such a pleasure, so I was really pleased to see that he now has a podcast of his own! The choice of guest for this episode was great, and I found the conversation very interesting, honest, relatable and emotive. Looking forward to the next one! 🙏
