The Second Greatest Story Ever Told (8) – Paul D. Lowe & Sam Goodwin

World Game-Changers

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Sam Goodwin to discuss what the topic means to him.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I speak full time, primarily to corporate & faith-based audiences, about uncertainty & how we embrace & manage it in our personal & professional lives. My presentations are narrative-driven & include many of the dramatic elements of my stories.
• In 2019 I was taken hostage in Syria. Thanks to a long list of people who worked tirelessly the situation ended peacefully. Although that was very uncomfortable & a very challenging time, there has been so much good that’s come from it.
• I was pushed to a point of overwhelming uncertainty, truly life or death. But through that I learned some things that were helpful to me & I feel can be helpful to others too. The same recipes I found to manage & survive are also relevant to all of us when we’re facing our own versions of uncertainty.
• If we shift out mindset & recognise our uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, to develop, to make new connections, whatever it might be; that can be transformative, it can really change the way we overcome challenges, interact with our friends & family, there’s so much opportunity there if we choose to view it that way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I believe in the power of storytelling & the way we speak to ourselves is very important as well & can lead to happiness, success & a range of other things too'.

‘I feel not so much survivor’s guilt as survivor’s responsibility. To share what I learned & how I grew through this experience'.

‘Traits like self-esteem & confidence are extremely important in how we treat ourselves & affect how happy & successful we are & how much we enjoy our lives'.

‘You have to lean into gratitude, control the things you can control, & recognise uncertainty as an opportunity for growth'.
