The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd

Being an undeclared major till his senior year of college, Lawrence didn’t really know what he wanted to do. After looking up which jobs make the most money, he decided to declare as an economics major, leading him to explore Investment Banking. While he didn’t end up working in investment banking, he was still pulled by the power of prestige, something he says “is a drug, and is most potent” when you are young and looking at schools. Over a number of years and experiments with music and creating and writing, he slowly started to figure out a better path forward for him. After leaving the corporate world for a second time, Lawrence finally found a calling - writing on his blog: More To That where he uses visual storytelling to express his ideas of pursuing alternative paths, sharing ideas, and creating online. Some of the topics we explore in this conversation include: The influence of money and prestige Burnout and reflection The importance of the right partner Finding the right medium The Arc of the Practical Creator How To Find Lawrence: Website @moretothat (twitter) CrowdHealth: You ditched the traditional path… why haven’t you ditched your traditional health insurance Experience the freedom and affordability of cash payments and community-funded healthcare with CrowdHealth.

Tim Malnick has always lived between the two worlds of business and creative/activist circles. In his twenties, he stumbled into a creative group of young people, of which “none of them following the obvious path.” This gave him a lot of confidence that different kinds of paths were possible and enabled him to offer a diversity of perspectives that he was able to bring to many different environments. One of the things he spends a lot of time on now is helping people transcend their relationship with money. He runs The Money Workshop with people helping them explore the scripts people have with money and realized that people have one of two orientations towards the world: #1 The Money Path: “One day when I sorted this out I’ll get to do what I want” #2 The Life Path: “Do what you love and the more you follow it you will have your needs met with and without money” Which one are you?

Kris Abdelmessih has one of the most unique perspectives on life and works I've stumbled across in the past few years. He uses his experience as a trader to look at decision-making and work investments through the lens of options, pricing, and other financial models. I enjoy his perspective because unlike other financial types, he seems to have a proper appreciation of non-work / non-productive time.We explore his recent break from trading, his creative journey writing on the internet, and finding his people, and he challenges me to think differently about how I'm spending my time with my work.The conversation dramatically shifted how I'm thinking about the possibilities of my path.

Howard Gray is the founder of Wavetable, a studio that helps brands and companies come together to develop fan-based experiences to help teams teach and share ideas. The two things that drive him are to "create space for people to do the work they want to do" and to help people "make sense of the world and overcome the tension of putting things out in the world" We dive into his idea of the formless path, why the creator economy is in danger of being hijacked, how he sees himself as a guide rather than as a creator, and why fatherhood is helping him "sharpen" his focus.

“You can’t study or learn your way into a new identity” - I love this quote from Darren Joe. He’s been thinking about carving a different path from 2003 to 2004. He said that he was driven by a natural drive to be independent and do his own thing. I found this pretty impressive because in those years not many people were doing what he was doing. He recently published a book titled The Fail-Safe Entrepreneur. In it he argues that almost all solopreneurs strive for three things: Freedom, Adventure, Meaning. I definitely agree. However, he says many fail to reach these aims because they ignore the shadow side of this path. He details four things - FAIL: Failure, anxiety, instability, loneliness. We explore many things in this conversation including: Grappling with the achiever identity Longing for independence and freedom Parental approval Building Community Experiments Defining success You can buy his book the Fail Safe Solopreneur on Amazon ------------------------ SUPPORT BOUNDLESS Subscribe to the weekly Boundless newsletter to stay up to date on new episodes and join the conversation. 🆕 I launched Freelance Consulting Skills Course.

Natalie Rachel went through her own experience with burnout before turning to help others. She found that "with burnout, rest doesn't touch it," you need a deeper strategy. We compare notes on our own journeys where we were surprised by burnout. We thought it was something that resulted from working long hours. Natalie says a better way to think about it is as "self-neglect of reflection."

Jenni and Lisa Dazols read an essay six years ago which made them question their frantic & busy lifestyle. They could barely take care of their dog. They decided to take a break from a work. We dove into their story of deciding to move abroad, taking a sabbatical, having kids, moving to Taiwan, launching a passion project, coaching people on their money fears, and what they've learned along the way. They run a business called Modern Family Finance and help people think about finances in a way that lets them live the life they want to live. They also run a charity bike ride in Taiwan supporting LGBTQ rights called Rainbow Ride.

Sean McCabe runs seanwes and in 2014 he was working seven days per week. Yup, no breaks. He knew he needed to make a chance but the problem? All of his friends and even his wife worked at the company. He decided he would take every seven weeks off. He quickly realized it was a bit unfair to his team and extended it to everyone in the company. He's found that not only has his life gotten better but his business has continued to grow and they have figured out how to build mandatory (not like "unlimited vacation...) sabbaticals into the operating rhythm of the company. His mission is to help every company globally (yes, really) embrace this model by 2047. I'm on board.

Michael Mcbride left his job almost a year ago to work on building out Idea Soup, an instagram and TikTok channel focused on helping re-inspire people’s passion for history and knowledge. We talk about his creations over the years, how he has felt since leaving his job over the last year, what he’s learned from engaging with young people on TikTok and how he sees the future of education emerging from things like TikTok and other online platforms. On his foundational belief: “If I had a thesis it's that education really does work and education really does matter” His motivation and secret to his success: He said, “I find history so crazy and weird and fascinating that I think that;s contagious. If I had a mission it’s not to make them more educated, it’s to make them go. “How did roman's wipe their ass, that’s crazy,” Listen to the episode to find the answer to this!

Packy says that his differentiation "is that I’m going to be having more fun than most people” I've been a big fan of the energy he's brought to his writing over the past couple of years. But he didn't set out to have a popular newsletter. His real plan was to launch an in-person community. We chat about how the pandemic helped him figure out why that wasn't a good idea and how he's thinking about his solopreneur journey, The reason I asked him on the podcast is to talk about his recent newsletter on the future of work. He argues that “Employees will ultimately make the decision” about what work looks like post-pandemic. I think he is mostly right and we talk about what that might mean for people's lives. ---- You can find ways to support Paul through affiliate links, newsletter sponsorship or direct gifts here If you want to subscribe to Paul's weekly newsletter on the modern state of work, the solopreneur journey and creating online, you can subscribe here.

In 2015, Diania Merriam discovered the Mr. Money Mustache blog about financial independence and reading it was like a refreshing punch in the face. At the time, she was living in NYC and $30k in debt. She got out of that debt in 11 months and started saving 60% of her income. This newfound grip on her finances gave her a huge boost of confidence to pursue goals that previously felt out of reach. In 2017, she moved to Cincinnati after negotiating a remote working arrangement with her employer. She then took a 2 month unpaid sabbatical to walk the Camino de Santiago (a 500 mile trek across northern Spain). She also bought a house, adopted a dog, and found herself a midwestern gentleman. Diania founded EconoMe, a one day event at the University of Cincinnati on March 7th, 2020, to make the ideas that inspired her more accessible to others. --------------- Want to support Boundless? => check us out here (https://think-boundless.com/support-boundless) NEW: The Pathless Path Hardcover Premium Edition📘 My 2nd Book Good Work: Learn More📕 Buy My First Book, The Pathless Path (65k+ Sold): The Pathless Path😁 Join 500+ In My Cozy Community: Pathless Path Community📲Connect + Follow PaulX: @p_millerdInstagram: @pathlesspaulPaul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (26k+ People)Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast:Accounting, Taxes, and Payroll for Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): CollectiveLooking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?

" coworking at its best isn’t an occupancy based business at all. If the only time your members can get value from their membership is when they’re in the room, you’re limiting the potential of your community " Alex Hillman runs one of the longest running co-working spaces in the world - Indy Hall - in Philadelphia. He thinks the word "coworking" has lost some of its meaning and that many companies are running "spreadsheet businesses" rather than cultivating community. "That level of dependence on a single employer is brittle at best and dangerous at worst. And that single source of 50,000 jobs being Amazon, who is notoriously one of the most ruthless businesses in the world, is the WORST worst way to generate those jobs.

Years ago, Ben wrote that his personal mission statement was “to help people reach their full potential” and our conversation touches on this theme in many different ways. Ben is a former car rental pro turned consultant turned HR executive.

I talked to Alastair Humphreys after he had returned the previous night from a micro-adventure. It wasn't a four year biking trip or a challenging long walk across the desert (he's done that though!), but instead a short overnight camping trip with himself to re-connect with nature and his adventurous spirit. He helps others think about how they can design similar micro-adventures to find joy in the "5 to 9" rather than doing everything in service of the 9 to 5.

Heather McGowan is the most thoughtful writer and speaker I follow on the future of work. She is able to connect the dots between work, culture, society and identity in a way that has captured the attention of many individuals, companies and universities around the world. Heather’s career is also a perfect example of the type of path and work that was not possible in the past. Reflecting on her path she admits “this field just sort of emerged.” As her career has shifted more towards speaking, she has been able to design her life around learning. Through her talks, she is able to get feedback and combined with her own curiosity, it helps her focus on what to learn next. In the working world, she focuses on how we can think about learning and work in a more holistic way and traces many challenges back to education. She cites research from Gallup showing that: “while 74% of surveyed fifth-graders are engaged with school, just 32% of surveyed 11th-graders are engaged.” Perhaps some of that disengagement is because people aren’t too excited about their job prospects. She worries that organizations in the short-term are still too focused on productivity, which depersonalizes the experience of work. As work increasingly becomes specialized - she calls it “atomization” - she fears that we will increasingly only focused on “explicit knowledge” instead of the deeper tacit knowledge that makes us special.

I met Craig at a conference called The World Domination Summit and when he introduced himself he gave me a pack of tea with his business card on it. Everything he does is like this - packed with thoughtfulness and humor. Craig is also the creator of the Morning effect, something he ended up being passionate about after going from someone that hated mornings to a morning advocate over the past 7 years. He defines the morning effect as: "the principle that what you choose to do in the morning can have an amazing impact on other parts of your life. It leads you to get up and be productive, do more of the things you wish you were doing, and embark on your days already feeling accomplished. All of that is a HUGE win, but honestly, it’s just the tip of the iceberg…" He’s experimented with 100 morning rituals over that time and now works with people to help them take back their mornings and find “another 20 hours” a week as he did. His story is more than another “hustle” hack - its grounded on bringing more presence, joy and creativity to ones life and is why I hope you check out the podcast this week!
