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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
