Extended summary:
In Part Two of our inspiring conversation with Arthur, we explore what it really means to live fearlessly and authentically. Arthur opens up about the personal philosophy that guides his life: you can try anything, just do it. We talk about tuning out judgmental voices, building self-trust, and the freedom that comes from asking for help when you need it.
Arthur shares how this mindset has shaped not only his career but also his role as a father. Alongside his husband Brian, he’s raising two daughters with a beautiful mix of wisdom passed down from his own mother and values rooted in his current belief system. He talks about parenting with intentionality and teaching his children resilience, empathy, and confidence.
We talk about Arthur’s journey into entrepreneurship…. through perseverance, countless trials, and an unshakeable belief in his vision, his businesses and ideas not only launched—they flourished. His story is a testament to the idea that it’s never too late to start something new.
This episode is full of heart, wisdom, and gentle reminders that the life you want might be on the other side of simply deciding to try.
