As he did, he glanced up and saw himself in the reflection of a local bakery. “Who is That???!?!?!? Oh, no! That’s an old guy. That’s ...ME. What happened?” Time happened. “I thought growing older would take longer?!?” Therefore Paul can say this: Life is just like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it, but just don’t expect yr mental image to match your true to life physical image! -Paul reveals his life’s adventures some great people and unforgettable journeys from the seat of his bicycle.

Freshman year at a downstate university. Paul’s friends told him how lucky he was to be going away and NOT having to go to a local community college. But something happened, things didn’t turn out like he thought they would. It was 1976, and the mid midwest was headed for its most hot and humid fall ever. Life threw Paul several unexpected life-changing learning curves which almost took him out for good. -So Life’s Learning Curve packs up their hotplates & mini fridges & travels downstate for freshman year. It’s those unexpected things in life, where you learn to sink or swim. Making changes & adjustments in life are the components of a person's true character.

On this episode: Steve, Paul’s college friend, shares the accomplishment he and his family felt when taking a whitewater rafting excursion overnight in West Virginia. After Steve retells a few rafting adventure stories, Paul and Steve realize that the elements of the rafting trip might easily synthesize into a motivational video from the perspective of living your best life ever. Plans begin for Paul & Steve to return to West Virginia and shoot a video at the same place Steve had his unique experience. However, communication became hinky and, the motivational video remote began to appear unstable. Paul reflects on why MENTORS and like-kind people are essential for diversity and career advancement. Mentors can actually make your life ‘jump’ and move up to another staion in life. Did Paul actually use his mentors for advice? Once again THANKS to my current mentor Clay Greager!

In studio 502, join our guest Heidi Hardt and Paul as they weed thru some of the best parts, of arguably, one of the worst tramatic years in US history. From quarantining while working at home, to making creative uses of free time and blogging, Heidi maintains a strong sense of humor as she shares some highs and lows. In our podcast's two year run so far, our purpose has been to use storytelling to help us find and pin down the best us we could be.
Today’s episode Found Value: 2020, is different. The past 10 months have left many of postponed, locked down, quarantined and id’ as non-essential or essential workers in our careers. That right there is a psychological evaluation in the making. Will she find value in this mess???
