Society places a high value on truth.
In this episode, Gregory Paul tells his own story with honesty, vulnerability and raw reflection. As he tells us how keeping the truth led to a dishonest lifestyle and brought disheartening consequences to his life and to the people he loves.
After the loss of his business, his family, his home and his freedom Gregory Paul was left with nothing. He was left with literally two black duffel bags of clothes, his bike and living in an apartment alone, depressed and broke.
He had to start over from scratch.
He had to live the second half of his life, recreate himself, and be functional again. Through his years of searching, meditation, reading, journaling and praying, he resurrected himself and his career.

Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode
- A lot of people get caught up in things that they do not really understand.
- Every day that I was trying to fix these problems, I was not doing it from an honest direct perspective. I was too scared to be vulnerable.
- I see people walking into their lives every day in a zombie life state, kind of I was. Just going forward thinking, “If I just do these things, will get better.”
- No matter what good you do, second chances do not happen the way they should in America because of online reputation.
- Direct, honest and upfront is the way I try to live my life every day.
- People are trying to create an image that is not really them.
