Paul reflects on the conversations that stayed with him most - the moments, lessons and advice that genuinely changed how he shows up in his relationships.
From the Gottmans on how to pause an argument before it spirals, to Jordan Stephens on masculinity and emotional regulation, Dr Julie Smith on realistic self-care, and the letters that moved us most with Tyler West, Scott Galloway and Paul himself, this episode brings together the wisdom that matters.
