Paul Hargreaves, Speaker, Author & Podcaster Business as a Force for Good

28/09/2025

One of the things I like about hosting The 4th Bottom Line podcast is the chance to ask questions that really make us pause and reflect.

In this clip from my latest episode with Giles, I asked:

“Would you see AI as a positive force to drive people in a different direction?”

AI is dominating so many conversations right now, but for me it’s less about the technology itself and more about how we choose to use it and the impact it could have on the future of business and society.

What do you think? Do you see AI as a positive force for change, or something we need to approach with more caution?

🎙️ Series Three Begins: “I’m Going to Die Here”

The first episode of 4th Bottom Line Season 3 is live!

I travelled to Springwood Farm in Sussex to meet Giles Hutchins, a visionary thinker who rarely leaves the ancient woodland he calls home.

With a camera crew in tow, we explored:
🌿 Why global leaders seek out this secluded forest
🌌 Out-of-body experiences & sensing Wi-Fi signals
🧘 Giles’ deep connection to nature and why he believes he’ll take his final breath right where we recorded

It’s one of the most profound and mind-expanding conversations I’ve ever had.

This episode is available on Audio AND video!

We’re all a bit like a lake 💧

What’s inside us reflects outwards.

This week, choose to bring positive radiance into every room you enter :-)

What will you reflect today? Share in the comments, I would love to hear!

🌳 From a distance, trees look perfect…

But get closer, and you see the cracks, the scars , just like us.

We’ve all been through tough seasons, and those experiences shape the unique gifts we can offer the world.

Your wounds aren’t flaws, they’re part of what makes you whole.

Celebrate your story today and if you fancy, drop it in the comments to inspire someone else, I would love to hear them :-)

Too hot for a BBQ? Never! 🔥

We had the pleasure of welcoming the amazing team from to our monthly company day and wow, did they deliver!

Nothing brings people together like great food, and their perfectly cooked steak ciabatta (Thanks ) with delicious chimichurri was a big hit amongst the team.

Watch to hear what they had to say :-)

If you’re checking emails on holiday… you’re not really on holiday!

When you take a holiday, take a real holiday. Step away from the laptop, let the calls go to voicemail, and give your brain the space to breathe.
It’s amazing how much more creative, energised, and present you can be, both at work and in life when you truly switch off. 💭

The forest became our studio today 🌲🎙

When the 4th Bottom Line team takes “purpose” literally, we head to the woods to record and film episodes for the first time!

Fresh air, fresh ideas, and conversations that matter.

Series 3 is coming… and it’s rooted in something deeper.

Is this it?

That one question marked a turning point in Andrew Thornton’s life and it might be the beginning of a new chapter for you too 🙂

In this episode of The 4th Bottom Line podcast, I speak with Andrew about his journey from a high-achieving career in corporate retail to a more purpose-driven path, focused on people, planet, and inner transformation. He shares how childhood experiences shaped his deep sense of fairness, why he believes intuition and vulnerability are essential for good leadership, and how silence and reflection helped him move beyond a life of constant busyness. We also talk about what it really means to lead with heart and why that matters more than ever in business today.

This is one of the most honest and powerful conversations I’ve had on the podcast. If you’re questioning your direction, your leadership, or your definition of success, I encourage you to listen.

Tune in on your preferred podcast platform and if it resonates, share it with someone who might need to hear it. 💚
