Here is a list of the journeys Mr. Conroy  took part in : Artist manager A&R, Roadrunner Records, managing of of the most prominent metal band Lamb of God, partnership with Carl Severson at Ferret Records.  He moved his family to West Coast, to enter into the sports entertainment. And finally his current company Plus Foundry and its new iteration called Impact Real Life (“IRL”) is making a splash in helping companies build events that generate new revenue lines and create definitive brand extensions in real life. Paul Conroy was very honest with Eddie and Vlad about his personal evolution over the years : feeling sluggish and drained that forced him to adapt his attitude and habits re health, wellness, work and family. During the chat Paul  shared about his life long struggle with anxiety and how he learned to deal with it. We could not and would avoid the subject  of racism and social justice that all whole world is tune in right now. The sincerity and honest of the conversation have proved, at least to the three of us : even though you dont know of  a solution to a challenge as of  yet , but you are honest , sincere . passionate and compassionate about it , your own  effort  and though who work on it with you , will lead  you to a a problem solving . We really enjoyed time with Paul and hope you find this episode helpful .
