Radio Interview: The Three Things That Matter

1. What is The Three Things That Matter about?

Answer:
At its heart, the book is about helping people step back from the noise of everyday life and ask a very simple question: What really matters? We spend so much of our lives chasing things that feel urgent, important or impressive, but when we look at life from a different perspective, we often discover that the things that matter most are much simpler. The book invites us to identify those things, protect them, and live our lives accordingly.

2. Why did you feel this book needed to be written?

Answer:
Because I think many people are busy living, but they are not necessarily living intentionally. We get caught up in work, money, possessions, expectations, responsibilities and other people’s opinions. Then one day we stop and realise that time has passed. I wanted to write a book that helps people pause before that moment and ask themselves: Am I spending my life on the things that actually matter to me?

3. What are the “three things” that matter?

Answer:
The three things represent the fundamental priorities we should recognise in our lives. They are not about material success or status. They are about what gives life meaning and value. The important message is that once we identify what truly matters, our decisions become clearer. We begin to understand what deserves our time, our energy, our attention and our love—and what we can afford to let go of.

4. Is this book about changing your life?

Answer:
Yes, but not necessarily in the way people might expect. I don’t believe everyone needs to completely change their life. Sometimes we simply need to change our perspective. When we change the way we see our circumstances, we can begin to experience those circumstances differently. The book is really an invitation to stop, reflect and perhaps make a few important changes in the way we live.

5. You talk about perspective in the book. Why is perspective so important?

Answer:
Because the way we look at something often determines how we experience it. Sometimes we are standing underneath our problems, looking upwards, and everything feels enormous and overwhelming. But occasionally we get the opportunity to step back—or even imagine looking from above—and suddenly we see the bigger picture. The problem may still be there, but it no longer has the same weight. Perspective doesn’t always change the situation; sometimes it changes the weight we give to the situation.

6. What do you think people are getting wrong about a successful life?

Answer:
I think we have sometimes confused having more with being more. We measure success through possessions, money, careers, achievements and recognition. None of those things are necessarily bad, but they are not necessarily the things that make us fulfilled. A person can have everything society says they should want and still feel empty. Success, for me, has much more to do with whether we are living a meaningful life and whether we are present for the things and people that truly matter.

7. Who is this book written for?

Answer:
I would say it is for anyone who has ever stopped and thought, “There must be more to life than this.” It is for the person who is successful but still searching, the person who feels overwhelmed, the person going through change, and the person who simply wants to live more intentionally. You don’t have to be going through a crisis to benefit from asking what matters. Sometimes the best time to reconsider your priorities is when everything appears to be going well.

8. What do you hope a reader will feel after finishing the book?

Answer:
I hope they feel lighter. I hope they feel that they have permission to let go of some of the things they have been carrying unnecessarily. And I hope they become more intentional about where they invest their time, energy and attention. Ultimately, I want someone to close the book and say, “I know what matters to me now—and I’m going to live accordingly.”

9. If you could give listeners one message from the book today, what would it be?

Answer:
I would say: Don’t wait until life forces you to discover what matters. Discover it while you still have the opportunity to live it. We often only appreciate something when we are about to lose it. My invitation is to recognise the important things now. Give them your attention now. Love the people who matter now. Make the memories now. Don’t postpone the things that make life meaningful.

10. If someone listening today buys the book, what do you hope they take away from it?

Answer:
I hope they don’t simply read the book—I hope they question their own life. I want them to put the book down and start asking better questions: What matters to me? What am I giving my time to? What am I worrying about that doesn’t really matter? What am I taking for granted? And perhaps most importantly: If I knew I had less time than I thought, would I live differently? Because when we know what matters, we can start making choices that reflect it.

These are deliberately conversational, so you can expand on the answers naturally during the interview rather than sounding like you’re reading a prepared speech.
