Finding True Success: The Power of Energy, Love, and Inner Purpose with Doug Gordon

 

In this episode, host Paul chats with Doug Gordon about the deeper meaning of success and the importance of aligning one's career with inner passion and purpose.

They explore the stark contrast in energy levels when engaging in activities you love versus those you don't, emphasizing the significance of connecting to your 'heart self' rather than your 'head self.'

Doug shares personal anecdotes and lessons, from his own career highs and lows in the financial services industry to his transformative experience with healing and mindfulness. They discuss the impact of positive and negative energy, the importance of emotional intelligence, and practical steps for self-improvement and finding fulfilment.

Doug also highlights stories from his book and how combining external strategies with internal well-being can lead to true success, all while sharing insights on managing stress, fostering empathy, and sustaining vibrant energy.
