By listening to this episode of About The Adventure podcast you’ll find out how Paul turned his career around to becoming a published author, which started with writing guidebooks, and later on his memoir - The Search by Vertebrate Publishing.
This interview is about choosing to live happily by dreaming your way there and making new decisions to steer the direction.
Author Paul Besley talks about some of the challenges he has faced throughout his life, including alcoholism, bullying, a severe mountain accident, working in a high-pressure job as a salesman, and living with asbestosis disease. He shares what he has learned along the way and how he manages to find contentment through life’s challenges. Paul imparts his wisdom and advice in ways that feel relatable and attainable.
Keep going until the end to hear Paul’s powerful question for you to answer. It’s a really good one (once he remembers it!).
