It is my mission to bring honest, real life stories to the light in hopes that the listeners might grow from them and be as inspired by them as I am, because there is no better way to struggle than “together. As a psychologist, I am driven by curiosity to gain greater understanding of others, as we navigate our way through this “never perfect” life.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-05T22:18:34.456002+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/never-perfect-3666863"},"episode":{"title":"Pulling the Hell Out of Humanity: How One Man Traded His Empire for a Calling with Paul Hutchinson","slug":"pulling-the-hell-out-of-humanity-how-one-man-traded-his-empire-for-a-calling-with-paul-hutchinson","published_at":"2026-05-05T18:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/never-perfect-3666863/pulling-the-hell-out-of-humanity-how-one-man-traded-his-empire-for-a-calling-with-paul-hutchinson","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/never-perfect-3666863","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/ECP2859990408.mp3?updated=1778176590","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/ECP2859990408.mp3?updated=1778176590","summary":"What if the very things that made you successful were quietly destroying you from the inside out?

In this raw and remarkable conversation, he reveals how the same darkness he was fighting in others (arrogance, greed, and lust) had quietly taken root in his own heart.
