My guest in this episode is the fabulous Paul Gunn, CEO of KUOG Corporation and author of Succeed The Right Way

Paul believes that leaders can be successful while being kind. In fact, they can be far more successful than they ever dreamed.

In his book, Paul states that the path to massive, lasting and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat, it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.

Qualities such as empathy, compassion and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success.

Using studies and real-life examples, Paul takes you through the human experience, focusing on business and instructs you on how to live a successful life based on kindness.

Most of us are good people and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed.

Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression and they allow us to live in peace.
