This week I'm excited to introduce you to a dear friend and fascinating human, Paul Landreth-Smith.

Paul spent 18 years in British policing, including time as a counterterrorism firearms instructor and operator, later became a paramedic, and now manages security for five hospitals in the Kansas City area. He's also a martial artist, BJJ practitioner, rescue dog dad, husband, and a Brit turned American.

But what I've always appreciated most about Paul isn't his impressive resume. It's the compassion, curiosity, and humanity he brings to all of it. His life has revolved around service, and he has a unique perspective on what it means to stay calm, help people, understand different cultures, and live a good life.

In this episode, we talk about:

• British policing & counterterrorism

• Moving from the UK to America

• Becoming a paramedic

• Hospital security & crisis response

• Staying calm under pressure

• BJJ & martial arts

• Compassion and kindness

• British vs. American culture

• Religion, politics & common ground

• How our brains perceive reality

• Rescue animals & unconditional love

• Curiosity and questioning assumptions

• What it means to live a good life

• Leaving things better than you found them

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did, and leave with a few new ideas, questions, and perspectives to carry with you.

Please share with someone who you think may benefit from this conversation.

xo,

Greta
