In this episode, I reconnect with my long-time friend and mentor Rex Urwin, who joins me on the Arete Podcast. Rex shares his journey from coaching to mentoring, emphasising the transformative potential within each individual.
We discuss the significance of mentorship, the evolution of personal growth, and the role of ancient wisdoms and practices such as breathwork and hermetic principles in contemporary self-improvement. We also delve into the societal trends impacting self-identity and success, and the challenges of keeping grounded in an increasingly materialistic world.
As always, it’s a pleasure to explore these profound topics with Rex and to reflect on our nearly four-decade friendship and collaboration.
