Inner Mentor (15) Matthew Perry & The Lie of Success #208

from The Inner Entrepreneur · host Paul Ryan

In this episode of the Inner Mentor Series, Paul reflects on the life of Matthew Perry and the powerful lesson hidden beneath fame, wealth, and global success.  Despite becoming one of the most recognisable actors in the world through Friends, earning millions and achieving almost every dream imaginable, Perry openly admitted that success never gave him the peace, self-worth, or freedom from pain he hoped it would.  Paul explores the deeper truth behind addiction, achievement, and the relentless pursuit of “more” — and why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly use business, busyness, and success itself as a way to avoid sitting with difficult emotions. About the Host: Paul is a CEO, 8-figure business owner and mentor, helping successful entrepreneurs design the life they'd love to live and the freedom they need to live it. 👉 Paul Ryan Official Website Work With Paul You can book a discovery call with Paul here: 👉 Book a Discovery Call with Paul Ryan
