What happens when you walk away from one identity and completely reinvent your life?

In this episode, Paul sits down with Nathaniel Allenby entrepreneur, circus performer, author, and founder of Cirque Quirk and The Cycle of Kindness. Nathaniel's journey is anything but conventional. From becoming an international gaming champion to cycling 28,000 miles across 10 countries, to performing as a circus entertainer around the world, his life has been shaped by risk, resilience, and radical growth.

But beneath the adventure is something deeper.

This conversation explores growth mindset, identity shifts, endurance, fatherhood, and what it truly means to build a legacy rooted in service rather than ego. Nathaniel shares how adversity forged resilience, how performance taught him emotional intelligence, and why kindness is not weakness it's power.
