Hello! I'm back! Expect a slow ramp, but there are new episodes coming! I talked with Nat Eliason about his journey as a writer, from early experiments with ideas to fully embracing writing as a career. We discussed the challenges and rewards of moving from nonfiction to fiction, the trade-offs between traditional and self-publishing, and the importance of audience engagement. We also explored how AI is impacting writing, strategies for gathering feedback, and fiction’s role in addressing societal issues. Nat closed by sharing his vision for the future of his writing and the opportunities ahead. Links & book info!

"Dirtbag Rich" - Blake Boles & I Talk About Extracting More Freedom From Life 1:05:25

לפני 13 weeks1:05:25

1:05:25

Links: Podcast Blake Boles Dirtbag Rich Site : https://www.blakeboles.com/dbr/ Episode Desription Paul Millerd is a 39-year-old writer, ex-consultant, and advocate for ditching the default path in favor of what he calls “the pathless path.” (pmillerd.com / @p_millerd) Paul walked away from a promising corporate consulting career—think McKinsey, prestige, and six-figure salaries—to pursue a life of writing, experimenting, and global wandering. He describes how he initially struggled with unlearning his achievement-oriented mindset, why the idea of good work (work that energizes) became his guiding principle, and how his first self-published book, The Pathless Path , briefly and unexpectedly earned six figures. We discuss the philosophical basis of work and money, how to avoid the traps of both scarcity and overachievement, and how the value of exercising your freedom is limited by how others exercise their own freedom. (In other words: if you're free to hike on a sunny Wednesday afternoon, and no one's available to go with you, are you really free?) Paul and his wife have a young daughter, and they struggle to find and live near other, like-minded families. We talk about how online communities help Paul stay connected while living nomadically between Texas and Taiwan and how online self-education was invaluable to his success. We conclude with a discussion of navigating fear and uncertainty on the pathless path. Throughout the conversation, Paul stays refreshingly honest about the tensions between freedom and stability, the allure of easy money, and the ever-present temptation to fall back into old habits of achievement and validation. Energized by this conversation, I ended up talking more than usual about the tricky balance of factors that leads to a Dirtbag Rich existence. 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More 📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold) : The Pathless Path 😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community 📲Connect + Follow Paul Twitter: @p_millerd Instagram: @pathlesspaul Paul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People) Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe 🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast: Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): Collective Looking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?

This was a fun episode. A friend, Matt Yao, reached out to see if he could interview me about my recent book, Good Work. We first connected when he called me in the summer of 2022. He was in the middle of my book and knew he needed to quit his job. Over the last few years, he's been on a transformational journey, experimenting with writing, coaching, and several other side quests. Hope you enjoy this conversation.

Simone Stolzoff has worn many hats. He's worked as a writer, designer, and now, Author. He grew up with "four parents", each having a unique influence on him, He grew up being told he could do whatever he wanted but realized there were assumptions behind that. Over the last couple of years, he's contemplated how we can design a life not centered around work (which obviously interests me as well) and has come to some interesting conclusions. 🎥🍿 YOUTUBE : WATCH HERE 📕Buy Simone's Book (Just Released) : https://amzn.to/3BLd98s Links: Twitter: @SimoneStolzoff Simone's Website: simonestolzoff.com Recent Essay On Work ⌛TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - Intro (02:24) - The scripts that Simone grew up with (07:24) - Anis Mojgani, copyrighting and travel (19:05) - Career & Journalism (22:56) - Work, Passion, and Identity (34:34) - Writing vs Selling a Book, Knowing when to stop (47:37) - Work & Fear (55:53) - Staying on the path 📘 GOOD WORK: LIVE! => Learn More 📕 Buy Paul’s Book (50k+ Sold) : The Pathless Path 😁 Join Hundreds On Unconventional Paths: Pathless Path Community 📲Connect + Follow Paul Twitter: @p_millerd Instagram: @pathlesspaul Paul’s Newsletter: Subscribe to Pathless (23k+ People) Paul’s YouTube: Subscribe 🙏Further Ways To Support The Podcast: Accounting, Taxes, And Payroll For Your S-Corp (Ideal for $60k+ income): Collective Looking for alternatives to traditional health insurance in the US?
