On the 13th episode of the “What is a Good Life?” podcast, I am joined by David McQueen. David is an Executive Coach, a Keynote Speaker, and an executive and non-executive director for several businesses.In this episode David takes us through the role compassion plays in his life - for himself, for others, in reconnecting with nature, in building community, and in contributing to others. While we also discuss anything from the supernatural, imposter syndrome, the importance of knowing when enough is enough materially and to ultimately following your own path.This conversation resonated with me a lot, and David provides a great example of someone who is consciously carving out his own version of a good life. The episode is filled with insights and reflections that will give you plenty to ponder in terms of experiencing more compassion for yourself and those around you.Subscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for daily clips and weekly reflections.Running Order: 01:15 Podcast begins02:18 What would it take for us to have more compassion?05:32 Convenience over compassion?12:20 Humans are selfish15:18 Community and self-connection18:45 We are all connected22:50 The void of religion26:58 Wrestling in my mind between the skeptic & the spiritual29:30 Reconnecting with Nature34:10 Switching off38:15 Moving from surviving to thriving40:15 Regrets of the dying42:38 Giving back45:45 What really brings us happiness49:00 Time alone & balance50:40 Seeing life as an adventure54:45 What is a good life for David?For further content and information check out the following: - For the podcast's YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife/videos- My newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/- My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/- David's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrdavidmcqueen/- David's website: https://www.davidmcqueen.co.uk/
