Episode 297 - The Power of Music with Paul Cardall

Becoming Your Best | The Principles of Highly Successful Leaders

Early on in his life, Paul Cardall would understand that life is fragile. He went through heart surgery on his first day on earth, and his parents, instead of picturing his graduation, his first love, or job, were wondering if he would survive his first year. Paul grew up feeding himself from his parents' optimism, visiting doctors, spending long nights in hospitals, and wondering why life was so hard on him, what was the purpose of all these scars in his body, and why his parents were spending fortunes to keep him alive. 

He would find peace and all the answers he needed in music - his gift, and savior. 

Paul Cardall is a gifted pianist and a prolific composer. He is the Founder of All Heart Publishing, LLC and CEO of Worth of Souls. Paul is also a speaker and philanthropist; he regularly narrates his congenital heart disease experiences at medical conferences all over the country and serves as the keynote speaker at both the Texas A&M Leadership Conference and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Cardiology Conference. 

In this episode, Paul reveals the healing power of music. We dive deep into the lessons life taught him the hardest way; he describes how he turned music into a lifesaver when everything around him seemed to sink and what kept him alive despite all odds since he was a baby. We talk about his heart transplant, the challenges he faced before and after that major surgery, and the crazy experience of feeling his donor feelings. Paul kindly shared his most valuable life lessons and a bunch of beautiful life messages.
