Episode Summary

In this deeply reflective episode of the Hero Podcast, Pete Cohen is joined by longtime friend Paul for an open, heartfelt conversation about what it means to be guided—and to guide others. Together they explore the essential role of mentors, the power of presence, and how authentic support can transform lives.

Drawing from personal experiences, they discuss spiritual awakening, healing from trauma, grief, and the importance of stopping to truly meet oneself. This episode invites listeners to think about who has guided them, and how they might become a guide in someone else’s life.

Topics Covered

The difference between a teacher and a true guide

Why presence leaves a lasting imprint

Spiritual embodiment and awakening

Learning through grief and loss

Creating space for others without losing yourself

Living in alignment with universal intelligence

Key Quotes

"A great guide doesn’t tell you what to do—they help you discover who you really are."

"Presence is more powerful than information."

"You can only pass something on if you truly embody it."

"The work is learning to stop, reflect, and listen to your own needs."
