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.

1:02:19

Cate seemed to be fully entrenched on the default path — she had graduated from Yale and became the Supreme Court advocate on her way to becoming a partner in her law firm. But she didn't want to live the lives of the people around her. She pivoted hard, you could almost hear car brakes squeaking as she made the turn, and over a year she became the number one female poker player in the world. She later started art and perfume companies and led operations at Avlea — a pandemic medicine company. One might think she's simply a superhuman, and what she did is beyond the grasp of mere mortals, but Cate claims that agency is learnable and joins the podcast to tell us how. 🎥🍿 YOUTUBE : WATCH HERE Links: X (Twitter): @catehall LinkedIn Cate's Article — How to be More Agentic ⌛TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - Intro (02:07) - The scripts that Cate grew up with (06:32) - Doors-opening credentials?

[Replay] Taking a "structured sabbatical" & Calm Companies - Jacqueline Jensen 44:35

לפני 2 years44:35

44:35

Jacqueline Jensen has been a digital nomad for 3.5 years, living and working globally. It might surprise you to find out then, that she's written a book called " Travel Isn't The Answer. " While counter-intuitive, she argues for a return to awe and wonder with what is already around us. She talks about different moments of wonder she has experienced (including a breathtaking view in Montenegro) and different techniques for how people can "Live With a Sense of Curiosity, Passion, and Awe Anywhere and Everywhere" (the subtitle of the book). Last year, in a planned sabbatical she came face-to-face with the fact that work was the center of her world. While she almost "quit" the sabbatical, she pushed herself to redefine her day and time to claim back some of herself from a sole focus on work. She provides many actionable tips and perspectives that can help people question the role of work in their lives, take steps to increase the amount of awe in their lives and connect with people that matter to them.

[Replay] How "total work" took over the world - Andrew Taggart 1:09:14

לפני 2 years1:09:14

1:09:14

Andrew is a Practical Philosopher who believes that "there may be no greater vexation in our time than the question of how to make a living in a manner that accords with leading a good life." We dive deep into the questions of "what is the good life?" and what he means by "sustaining life." He also shares his perspective on the concept of "Total Work," a phrase first put forth in 1947 by the German Philosopher Josef Pieper, and shares how that phrase became central to his current writing on the topic and conversations he has with business leaders and executives. We also dive into his dichotomy of the three modes people could think about to make a living: Use what you've got Exchange what's in hand Offer what you can He reflects on our modern culture's over-reliance on exchanging our time for money while ignoring how we can live off the land and operate within the gift economy. Next, we talk about some of the different modes of living (whether it be a "settler", nomad or somewhere in between) and the implications for the community in society as a whole as well as how has dealt with that with his wife. Finally, Andrew offers three practical steps people can take to re-engage with life and try to understand what "a life worth living looks like" that does not include the advice to just quit your job. Dis-identify with the identity of the worker : Questioning whether you truly only are a worker, a CEO, a marketing manager, an accountant, etc... Begin an inquiry into the question "If I am not a worker, then who am I?" : What else is worth living for? What practices do I want to have in part of my life? What relationships and conversations nourish me? The question whether or not the life you have defined is "sufficient": Are you thinking deeply enough about the question of who you are?

[Replay] We Adopted a 4-Day Workweek - Tash Walker 45:51

לפני 2 years45:51

45:51

Tash Walker is the founder of a firm and spends her Fridays making marmalade. Before instituting a four-day workweek at her firm, The Mix, she barely had time for her relationships. She decided to start doing research about different ways of working. There had to be a better way than the default options of "Summer Fridays" and "flexible work," that never seem to make less anxiety or stress-ridden. In her research, she discovered many examples of Swedish companies embracing 4-day workweeks and also found that when they instituted it, they often helped improve productivity. After bringing the option to her team at The Mix, they decided to do a three-month trial. They didn't even tell their clients. The funny thing? The clients didn't even notice. Even better, when they shared it with their clients - they weren't offended. They were curious to learn more and impressed that they had prioritized their people. While many quickly reflex to "well that can't work here," Tash and her team went forward anyway and have shown that a 4-day work week can work and it can work in professional services - an industry where many take for granted the fact that you should always be available for your clients. Beyond improving the lives of the people at the firm, they achieved some incredible results: Revenues up 57% Absenteeism down 75% Productivity stayed the same Doubled the number of clients Client referrals up 50% Want to learn how to make this happen at your company?

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. 📘 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?
