This is a global, original podcast.

Paul McKenna's positivity podcast.

Hello, this is Paul McKenna, and welcome to the positivity podcast.

My objective is to interview the most interesting people in the world,

and in the next 30 minutes, get insights and even discover how it is that they do what they do,

what makes them unique and fascinating, their success

mindset, and certainly what keeps them positive.

My guest today is an award-winning designer, writer and television broadcaster. He's presented

the internationally renowned TV show Grand Design since 1999, and later this year, House of the Year.

I'm talking today with Kevin McLeod.

Once or twice, I've made very positive decisions to do things, and I'm quite proud of those

decisions because it's quite rare that I felt, you know, in control.

Design is this magical world of resolving problems, and the problems can be sometimes aesthetic as much as they can be functional. So I suppose that's what drew me to architecture. Where do you get the energy from? How do you stay positive? And in a way, I think the whole process of building is an expression of faith and hope. It's based on a future reality.

Now you're here. Get on with it.

And I kind of think that's just a fabulous motto for life.

Now we're on the planet.

We must get on with it. The Positivity podcast with Paul McKenna.

Hello, it's absolutely wonderful to meet you, Kevin.

It's great fun to be here.

I'm looking forward to the grilling.

Oh, not at all.

It's going to be very positive. I must, first of all, ask you, because you drop, we at all. It's going to be very positive.
