From Cancer to Creative Courage | Actor Paul Shearman on Dementia, Fear & a One-Man Fringe Show

In this episode of The Alex Lo Show, actor and playwright Paul Shearman shares the life-altering journey that compelled him to stop waiting, embrace fear, and step fully into creative purpose—at 65 years old.

After receiving a cancer diagnosis, Paul was forced to confront his mortality and the quiet ways he had been postponing his deepest desires. What followed was a radical shift: instead of waiting for permission or security, he chose courageous action. That choice led him to write and perform his first-ever one-man stage play, The Last Audition, now touring major Fringe Festivals including Adelaide, New York, and Edinburgh.

The play follows an aging Shakespearean actor navigating early dementia, memory loss, identity, and the threat of assisted living—mirroring real emotional experiences faced by millions of families worldwide. Drawing from personal encounters with Alzheimer’s and caregiving, Paul brings uncommon depth, compassion, and authenticity to a subject most people are afraid to face.

Together, Alex and Paul explore what it truly means to create when there’s nowhere left to hide—emotionally, artistically, or spiritually.

✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: • How a cancer diagnosis can awaken creative urgency and purpose • Why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself artistically or personally • What performing a one-man show reveals about fear, presence, and identity • How dementia and Alzheimer’s affect not only individuals, but caregivers and families • The emotional and physical demands of solo performance at Fringe Festivals • Why embracing failure is essential to meaningful creative work • How lifelong learning and storytelling help preserve vitality and meaning as we age

🎭 This conversation offers rare insight for artists, creatives, caregivers, and anyone navigating aging, illness, reinvention, or the quiet fear of running out of time. It is a testament to courage, vulnerability, and the power of choosing purpose—even when the outcome is uncertain.

From War Zone to Wealth Creation: Meir Ezra on Mindset, Willpower, and Engineering Reality

In this episode of The Alex Lo Show, Alex sits down with Meir Ezra — entrepreneur, business philosopher, and founder of multiple global companies — to explore how mindset, willingness, and clarity of end results can reshape reality itself.

Born in a small town in northern Israel under constant missile attacks, and spending six years of his childhood in extreme physical pain after being born with both feet turned completely backward, Meir’s early life was shaped by survival, discipline, and an unbreakable will. Doctors told him he would never walk. Meir decided otherwise.

Through deeply personal stories and razor-sharp insight, Meir reveals how pain is not the problem — viewpoint is. How willingness shrinks obstacles. And why most people fail not because life is hard, but because they never define the outcome they truly want.

In this wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation, Meir shares:

• How growing up in a war zone shaped his understanding of force vs. intelligence

• Why willingness — not circumstances — determines the size of any barrier

• How he taught himself to walk, thrive, and later dominate in business

• The mindset shift that turns “problems” into non-issues

• Why life has no problems — only viewpoints

• How he went from zero to building systems sold for $100 million

• The simple principle behind his success in technology, oil, finance, and real estate

• Why simplicity is truth — and complexity is often a lie

• The 7 core areas every business (and life) must master

• Why most entrepreneurs fail by fixing symptoms instead of root causes

• What money really is — and why it’s far easier to create than most people believe

• How defining a clear end result instantly clarifies action

• Why freedom begins when you stop letting emotions, fear, and pain control you

This episode is not motivational hype — it’s a masterclass in mental discipline, personal responsibility, and engineering outcomes. If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or someone seeking true control over your life, business, and future, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about success.

Freedom, according to Meir Ezra, isn’t about ease — it’s about willingness. And once you master that, nothing is truly an obstacle again. #MeirEzra, #AlexLo, #TheAlexLoShow, #WealthMindset, #AbundanceMindset, #PersonalResponsibility, #RadicalResponsibility, #SuccessPrinciples, #HighPerformanceThinking, #MentalFreedom, #ConsciousLiving, #SelfMastery, #PersonalDevelopmentPodcast, #MindsetCoach, #WealthCreation, #EntrepreneurMindset, #SpiritualSuccess, #InnerGame, #HumanPotential, #LifeMastery, #EmotionalMastery, #ClarityAndFocus, #GrowthMindset, #TransformYourLife

In this deeply honest episode of The Alex Lo Show, we sit down with Wesley Farnsworth—a former pastor’s kid, military servicemember, and long-time “master chameleon” who spent years hiding behind perfection, codependency, and a 20-year addiction to pornography. What began as a desperate desire to fit in as a teenager eventually became a decades-long battle with secrecy, shame, and self-reliance.

Wesley shares the moment everything changed: walking into a Celebrate Recovery meeting for the first time, sitting quietly in the back, and unexpectedly breaking open in front of a stranger who sensed there was “something else” he wasn’t saying. That moment of emotional surrender—after years of isolation and fear—became the catalyst for his healing.

Through raw stories and powerful spiritual insight, Wesley reveals:

• How childhood pressure and codependency shaped his identity without him knowing • Why secrecy fuels addiction—and why vulnerability breaks its power • What really happens inside a Celebrate Recovery meeting (and why it works) • The role of accountability and community in lasting transformation • How a scene from A Knight’s Tale inspired his book and the idea of “changing your stars” • Why losing sight of your North Star leads to drift—and how faith realigns your life

This conversation is a moving exploration of healing, faith, emotional courage, and the journey of becoming—a reminder that freedom begins the moment you stop navigating life alone and turn toward the one steady North Star.

• The three life lessons hidden in something as simple as a technical glitch

• How discipline, surrender, and preparation open the door to higher consciousness
