As the host of Beers With Mates, I get to meet a wide range of lovely, exciting, interesting people. I was fortunate to sit down with Paul this week to walk through all the ups and downs of his adventurous story over the last 60+ years. We covered a helluva lot of ground, as below:

Growing up in Sydney;
His overseas travel adventures in his 20s; 
A career of leading high performing sales teams;
Fathering 3 beautiful children then going through a divorce in his 60s;
Managing mental health issues within the family;
Fostering new friendships and relationships after divorce; and 
Rebuilding his life and considering career changes in his 60 when many other people are considering slowing down for retirement.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Daily Bible Verse:              Revelation 12:11

‘They overcame him (the accuser) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…’

- The Lord wants you to be an overcomer.
- Don’t allow the enemy (the accuser) to tell you that you are a failure.
- Believe what you know to be true about God in your life.
- If the enemy reminds you of your past, remember God’s faithfulness to you.

Prayer: Lord, today I take a stand against the lies and accusations that the enemy tries to accuse me of. I know that You are with me, Your blood covers me, and I am a living witness to Your grace, mercy and faithfulness in my life. Amen.

[LYRICS]

surprise-
i'm still alive...
and designated: 
"a problem."
IF YOU DON'T REPLY 
I'M JUMPING TONIGHT
i guess-
the time i've spent...
all seven years:
were just rotten.
LEAVE ME ON READ 
TO FIND ME DEAD

i seek sleep
to numb my pain when i don't eat
[ I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS 
I DON'T MAKE PLANS 
AND HONESTLY 
ANY DAY COULD BE MY LAST ]

i just bleed
and still-
i scream in every dream
[ SMOKING TOO MUCH 
NICOTINE AGAIN FOR LUNCH 
WHY CAN'T LOVE TASTE LIKE A LUCKY STRIKE? ]

tonight-
these words hit just right...
like every lyric was:
"locked-in."
I SAID I WAS FINE 
BUT MAYBE I LIED?
duress-
can't bless this mess...
my talent is:
being forgotten.
HEY DO YOU WANNA HEAR MY THOUGHTS ON SUICIDE?

no one has ever seen an authentic version of me
truth is-
i'm disconnected 
your world is just some hell i've slept in for years


i hate it here...


WE ARE THE VISIONS OF YOUR LUCID DREAMS 
FRAYED DISTORTED EDGES 
DEATH 
REBARBATIVE THINGS
[ so long... ]
ANOTHER YEAR
[ darling... ]
PLEASE LET THE END BE NEAR

WE ARE THE FOOTNOTES ON YOUR SUICIDE NOTE 
SCRATCHED IN DESPERATE AFTERTHOUGHT 
SUCCINCT AND REMOTE
[ melancholy... ]
I ONLY HOPE
I ONLY COPE

what am i still doing here?

[ I LIKE THE TASTE OF MY NOSE BLEED 
IT'S SANGUINE IRONY ]

why do i still linger here?

[ HERE'S DEMO II
ALL I'LL LEAVE FOR YOU-
OF MY SUICIDE DIARY ]

the light inside is broken-
but i still work...

Me Through a Prism
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman, Music by Robin Lea Fritche

Sometimes I feel like a mix of all colors
Blended together to Black,
Clothed head to toe so no one will notice me
Feelings too dark to unpack

I know inside, when all the joy flees from me
It's prob'ly born out of fear,
What if I show myself as I am
And only my critics appear?

Chorus 1:
I need to see
Me through a prism,
Each color splashed out on the wall,
The rainbow of colors I know are inside,
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul,
Each glittering ray on full display
Whenever the dark takes control.

Some days I know I'm fun and I'm talented,
At least that's what some people say,
How do I hold on to those feelings
When all of my skies have gone grey?

Chorus 2:
I need to see
Me through a prism
Each color splashed out on the wall
The rainbow of colors I know are inside
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul
Each glittering ray
On full display,
Working to get there someday.

People are infinitely interesting. I sit down to learn more about people that interest me on a regular basis and record their entertaining stories here. This is also one of the key reasons I run Beers With Mates as well - to make it a habit to meet more interesting people from all walks of life each month. 

Some of the people featured here are sportspeople, artists and musicians. Others are entrepreneurs, business leaders or interesting individuals just doing their thing in the career they love, or they're on their path to finding it.
