On this episode, we were incredibly fortunate to be joined by Paul Smith.

Paul is a highly successful multi-million pound property investor and mentor, with a passion for helping others to thrive with Paul and his wife, Aniko, founding Touchstone Education.

Paul's journey is incredible, from leaving home at 17 with just £170 in his pocket, to being a muti millionaire living in Monaco and now aiming to become a billionaire in five years time, but the reasons for this are incredibly altruistic.

Paul is highly committed to philanthropy and giving, and has recently joined John Cauldwell's Life Changer's Circle.

The reasons Paul wants to be a billionaire is so that he can join the Giving Pledge and give at least half back to good causes and charities.

This was such an incredibly insightful chat touching on :

• Being reminded of mortality at such a young age
• Never regret growing old, as it is a privilege denied to far too many
• Giving back
• The difference between rich and wealthy
• Values
• Living each day like it is your last
