MOTIVATION
Paul believes that you come to a point in your career where you want to give back to help entrepreneurs avoid the pitfalls that you have already faced along the way.
He appreciates that some startups feel that they have no one to go to at times. When Paul has gained insights into how to do things differently, he finds it rewarding to help people like himself.
Mentoring has been an interest of Paul’s for some time; he currently mentors with Unearthed and Austmine, and has done so internally with Gold Fields in the past.
GIVING BACK
“When you assist individuals in avoiding the traps that you once fell into, you are helping them to have a better chance of success”.
