Extraordinary Life Stories · Rob Parsons OBE | Extraordinary Life Stories · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

I think I've written 30 books.

I've lectured all over the world.

Those things have involved me having thousands of business calls.

Almost every one is described as urgent.

I'll have one today.

Ring my back by 2.30.

I can't remember one.

Not one that couldn't have waited 10 minutes while I finished the bedtime story.

And I've often said to very exclusive audiences, it's a privilege to talk to you today, but I'd swap you all line to end to end for a chance to read that story one more time.

So I would say to people, grasp the moment.

You know, when we're young, and I've been there, we're building and we're striving for success.

But sometimes in all of that, we miss relationships.

I've sat with many men of 65 and women sometimes, but often men, and they've achieved more than they thought possible.

But they look back and say, where did my life go?

And we've been through some tough times.

I talk about it in the book.

I remember Dan saying to me, darling, I don't think we're going to make it.

And we sat down long winter evenings, see if we could recover the love we used to have.

And so those moments of grasping those moments.

And that's why I love telling stories, because there'll be at least one person out there that'll say, wow, yeah.
