On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul talks to Paul Kelly about the things he didn’t know that he now knows and thinks the world should know.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
One of the things I didn’t realise is how difficult life can be if you don’t keep things simple. When you’re young and free and you explore and try new things you can encounter difficulties you were unaware of because you don’t understand the great, wide world. Not everyone’s as nice as you are and the world can be a very cruel place if you don’t have that greater awareness.
Having a greater awareness of you and where you’re at in any situation is what people need to learn. Who you’re with isn’t important a lot of the time, as long as you feel good and safe about yourself. People come and go, you need to focus on yourself and how you feel.
When the internet first started everyone thought it was great, we could research things. But as it’s developed, with social media, the influence of money has grown and dominated every part of our society. School kids think they can be professional footballers and they’ll never have to work again or be influencers making millions on social media.
BEST MOMENTS
‘From school, where things are very certain, you go out and look for variety in life and sometimes you don’t know the dangers that are hidden.’
‘It’s very easy, as a young person, to get attracted to a particular crowd of people because they all support the same football team. These might look like nice people but they might be sheep in wolves clothing.’
‘The power of using video conversations to heal people has recently struck a chord with me, it’s a very powerful tool because you go back and see how those conversations have evolved over time.’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Paul Kelly’s young parents divorced before he started primary school, resulting in him and his mother going to live with his loving grandparents.
From starting primary school, Paul was always a keen sportsman, excelling at swimming, football, chess and cricket, and after establishing himself as a regular in the Nottinghamshire (UK) cricket set-up, his grandmother decided to give him the opportunity to go to a private school to play his beloved sport, something he continued in Australia.
On his return to England, Paul was attacked after a night out and hospitalised, suffering temporary blindness, a double fractured skull and memory loss. After ten days in a coma, he awoke and started to try and rebuild his life; however, he encountered severe depression, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, and heavy drinking binges.
With the help of family & friends, step-by-step, Paul began the road to recovery and happiness – a 25-year roller-coaster journey – that has taught him vital lessons…particularly using stress to achieve success.
