First of all, I absolutely loved doing this interview. Paul is just such a great, thoughtful dude. Second, the part where he talks about feeling that fire in his belly and that insatiable desire to practice at and compete in his craft is, IMO, one of the realest and most relatable moments we’ve captured on this show.

Its good when u have a passion for something. Not everyone is blessed to have that put into them. Cuz we always hear of so many people going through life feeling numb and just going through the motions. Maybe those people gave up their passion or never had one to begin with. And u cant copy someone elses passion that shitll never work. Only thing though is that when u have a passion for something, u cant be lazy at all cuz letting your potential go to waste is the greatest regret in life.
