You've got some living yet to do.

I won't give up on you.

See these machines can bring you back to life.

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Mantox Podcast.

My name is Roger Nairn.

Connor Beaton is traveling down throughout

the United States and Canada visiting our Man Talks communities, but he's going to be back

on a very soon episode of the Mantox podcast. Stories move us. They engage us. They inspire us.

Stories give us an example of how to act and how not to act. The best ones stay with us forever.

Today's guest,

Paul Smith, teaches you how you can use stories in business, in family life, and as a leader,

to help motivate, drive sales, and get a point across with one of your family members,

especially your children. So, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Paul Smith.

Hi, Paul. Thanks so much for joining me on the Mad Talks podcast. Oh, you're very welcome,

Roger. It's great to be here. Awesome. Before we get started, we always love to ask our guests if they can share with us what is a defining moment for you

yeah yeah so uh for me it would be the moment that got me to be where i am today which uh which was

rather difficult for because i i spent most of my career in pretty typical corporate career path

and found myself 20 years into a career at Procter and Gamble

before I left. But that moment for me was deciding to leave still in my mid-40s and too

young to retire and all that kind of stuff to go be a full-time author and speaker and trainer,

which is what I knew I wanted to do and would love to do. But, you know, when you got a couple of kids to put through college and you're, you know, too young to retire and all that, it's a difficult decision.

And so that defining moment for me was a conversation with my dad that gave me the courage to actually walk away and pursue my dreams, which just happened about three years ago.
