درباره این اپیزود
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, and when you truly accept that, the way you live begins to change.
This special Prelude to Engaging Conversations offers a rare glimpse into the conversation before the conversation.
Before the microphones were switched on, George Parry and Leon Goltsman found themselves reflecting on life, purpose and legacy. What began as a casual discussion quickly became something much deeper, capturing the heart of what was about to unfold.
George's story cannot be reduced to business success or public milestones. It is a story of remarkable achievement, significant loss, addiction recovery, unwavering faith and the courage to face life's greatest challenges with honesty and grace. Together, Leon and George explore the idea that everything we think we "have" is only on loan, and that our truest legacy isn't measured by what we leave behind, but by the memories we leave in the minds and hearts of those we love.
If you've ever wondered what really matters or what you hope people will remember about you, this conversation will resonate deeply.
This isn't simply a preview of next week's episode. It's an invitation to pause, reflect and perhaps have the conversation you've been postponing with someone who matters to you.
Join us next week for the full Engaging Conversations episode with George Parry.
Thank you for listening!

00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:03.439
Hello and welcome back to Engaging Conversations.
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.400
I'm your host, Leon Goltsman, and today I wanted to share something a little different with you.
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:17.839
Normally, before every episode, I like to spend a few minutes with my guests performing sound checks and talking about the very journey we're about to take together.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:25.519
It's a chance to get comfortable, share a few thoughts, and make sure that we're both on the same page before we press record.
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.600
And this is one of those moments.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:33.439
However, after sitting down with George Parry, I knew that this conversation was going to be different.
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:44.000
From the get-go, I wanted to share this with you because I think that understanding why we had this conversation is just as important as the conversation itself.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.640
George has lived an extraordinary life.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:01:00.719
He's experienced remarkable success, endured significant loss, overcame addiction, found strength through faith, and is now facing one of life's greatest challenges with honesty, dignity, and incredible courage.
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:11.120
As we spoke, it became clear that these very few unscripted moments captured the very heart and essence of what this episode is really all about.
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.719
It's not about business.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.319
It's not about success.
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.280
It's not even about voluntary assisted dying.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:33.280
It's about living with intention, appreciating the people we love, understanding that tomorrow is never guaranteed, and recognizing that our greatest legacy isn't what we leave behind, but the difference we're able to make in the lives of others.
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:40.799
The full episode will be released next week, and I can honestly say that it is one of the most meaningful conversations I've ever had.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:51.519
But more than anything, I hope that George's story encourages you to pause, reflect, and maybe even have a conversation you've been meaning to have with someone you care about.
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:58.560
But until then, I'd like to invite you behind the scenes to the very conversation before the conversation.
00:01:58.560 --> 00:01:59.920
Here we go.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:01.280
Alright.
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:07.920
Okay, so what I've done is when we've created it, you can see there's been quite a bit of work here.
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:08.319
Yeah.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.479
And the idea is I wanted this to be living with intent.
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.360
This isn't just a podcast about a journey.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.199
This is a about living.
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:17.840
Right.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:18.879
Continuing to live.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.120
It's an S episode about success and loss.
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:21.599
Yes.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.280
F recovery and faith.
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:23.759
Yes.
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.520
Vulnerability and courage.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.680
And what becomes visible when we stop assuming tomorrow is guaranteed.
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.520
I thought that would be a really good angle.
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.520
That's a good angle, yes.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.159
Tomorrow's not guaranteed.
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:36.879
That's right.
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:37.360
Yeah.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.439
Well, a and and you just never know.
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:39.840
No.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:46.800
I've always said that everything we have, we think we have, it's only given to us online.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:47.919
On loan, yeah.
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:48.400
Yeah.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.840
Well, that's right.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:56.960
And and uh you know, we'll we'll be gone and uh all that's left of us is uh the memories in the hearts of others.
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:57.840
Absolutely.
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.960
And and that's that's our legacy.
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:12.479
You know, some of us will leave physical legacies, but uh most of us will just live leave memories in the minds and hearts of of others, of their family and friends and you know.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:17.439
And the love that's um that's there is is the most valuable commodity, really.
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.240
It really is.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.360
You can you can live an entire life without love, I can tell you.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.919
I I've met people who who have no love in their lives and for whom everything is transactional.
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:28.479
Yeah.
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.719
Uh it's a it's a very sad way to live.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.280
Yeah, but do you think they're really happy when they live like that?
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.319
Oh no, of course not, because they're comparing.
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:42.639
Well, George, I've come up with it's like a narrative to keep it going to tell that story.
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:42.800
Yeah.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:48.560
And one of the things I try and do my best is we've only got 30 minutes of listening time.
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.639
It doesn't matter how long it takes us to record.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:50.960
Yeah.
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.080
But the final product.
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.280
Yeah, you're gonna you've gotta pick the the the the eyes out of it.
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.400
You've got to get the stuff.
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.719
So I've created like a journey of our conversation, and I thought I'd run that past you.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:07.199
So it wouldn't be the life behind the resume where I'd be uh you know talking about the business, achievement, the wealth, the loss.
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:14.159
So that gives you a chance to talk about your your um your life behind your resume, the battles others could not see.
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.879
So we'll talk cover on some of the things more importantly about humility in favor of discipline of getting back up again.
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.519
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.480
I think that's really important.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.160
The philosophy of living, so that's everything we spoke about.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.079
I've written it down, I've created a nice journey.
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:35.360
I want to make sure that people say this is the best podcast they've heard in a long time.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:35.839
Okay.
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.519
So we want to touch on vulnerability with shapes perspective.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:59.600
Yes, finding orders in chaos, talk a bit about your book, yes, dignity at the end of life, so your personal position on on you know on that, and the message that remains, and we're gonna c finish off by talking about legacy, yes, forgiveness, relationships, and the final invitations to live intentionally.
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:00.000
Okay.
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.279
And I thought if we can cover those things, yeah, we'll have ourselves such a great podcast.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:05.680
Yeah.
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:13.279
And I think it'll be the probably well, I'm always aiming to do better to I I I hope I I I don't let you down.
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:30.079
I hope that I it will work really well for for uh uh engaging conversations and and um for me it's uh it's my legacy, it's my my um uh celebration of life online because I don't want to have an antiquated ritual of a funeral.
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:43.120
I I I want people to be able to celebrate online and see my book, well read my book, but also listen to the podcast and Well George, I want to do this honor and justice to your story.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:43.600
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:51.040
And I sincerely, from the bottom of my heart won this conversation together, we can create miracles.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:52.399
I think we already are.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:52.879
Yeah.
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.120
Some conversations stay with you long after the microphones are switched off.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.639
This is one of them.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:15.279
Next week I'll share my full conversation with George Parry, but until then, let's take a moment to reflect on the people who matter most in your life because sometimes the conversations we put off become the ones we never get to have.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.560
Thanks for listening.
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.680
