From sleeping on French beaches to a fast-growing software start-up, to serving in hospice fundraising, Paul Fennelly’s journey is anything but ordinary.

This is a conversation about leadership, legacy, and what we learn when we walk with people through their final days.

In this episode, Paul shares how his experiences shaped a deep conviction about purpose, resilience, and what really matters in life. We explore how his path opened his eyes to the sacred and soul-enriching moments at the end of life, and why leadership rooted in compassion is essential in a world racing toward automation.

Today, Paul helps charities and hospices harness AI to save time and protect the precious human work that only people can do. We unpack the role AI can play in solving some of the world’s greatest challenges, and why reviewing your purpose and life direction at regular intervals is not optional, but transformative. We also look to the horizon and ask what comes next in the AI era.
