They discuss the balance between relationships and business transactions. Paul recalls his challenging life from a demanding job that had him frequently traveling and under constant stress, leading to personal and professional crises.

His realization of the importance of human connection led to a networking event over tacos that unexpectedly became a larger community initiative, Tacos Together. The community, centered around human connections over transactions, led to bettering people's lives by enhancing personal relationships and job prospects, even helping those struggling with mental health. This journey greatly influenced his measures of success, drawing him away from monetary and power-based ones to prioritizing human connection.
