The Bootstrapped Founder

226: Paul Millerd — Walking The Pathless Path


Listen Later

Are you feeling burnt out or overwhelmed by societal expectations?

Today, I’m talking to Paul Millerd, author of “The Pathless Path.” We talk about hustle traps, the stories we tell ourselves about success, and our obsession with productivity. Learn how to connect with yourself, rediscover leisure as a positive force in your life, and find "the others."

Discover how to expand your horizons and find your own way in life, all while building and teaching in public.
