Paul Rourke is a musician, husband, a father, and a bloke who’s faced things most of us couldn’t imagine.

In this episode, Paul opens up about his journey through music, family dynamics, mental health, and the life changing experience of surviving not one, but two cardiac arrests in just seven days, with no clear answer as to why.

We dive into his relationship with alcohol, overcoming imposter syndrome, learning to communicate more openly, and the lessons that come from hitting pause on life in the hardest possible way.

This chat is about resilience, vulnerability, and figuring out what really matters when everything else is stripped away.
