OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode of The Quinntessential Questions Podcast, Paul Quinn sits down with Paul Foster, Singapore-based host, actor, and wellness advocate. From his early days in modeling and the 2000s reality show "The Big Unknown" to becoming one of Asia's most recognisable faces, Paul shares his transformation journey and the moment that changed everything: losing his father to cancer at just 18.
He discusses grief, breathwork, and two decades of building homes across Asia, and why true healing means going deep into shadow work. Paul also opens up about the heart scare that nearly killed him, the breathwork session where he felt his late father in the room, and shares powerful stories about purpose, service, and backing yourself when no one else does.
Whether you're navigating loss, searching for purpose beyond your career, or curious about the wellness and breathwork space, this conversation offers hard-won wisdom on grief, healing, and living with intention. Let's explore the journey of Paul Foster.
