The Inner Entrepreneur

The Secret To Loving Your Work Again | Jonathan Domsky #230

Listen Later

In this episode  Paul chats with Jonathan Domsky about one of the biggest questions we can ask ourselves: What were you born to do?

Jonathan believes that most people aren't lacking talent or opportunity—they're simply living out of alignment with who they really are. Together, Paul and Jonathan explore the difference between excellence and genius, why so many successful entrepreneurs become trapped by what they're good at, and how to rediscover the work that genuinely energises you.

The conversation also ventures into self-love, purpose, authenticity, false values inherited from childhood, and why creating a meaningful life often begins by giving yourself permission to stop living according to other people's expectations.

If you've ever wondered why success doesn't always feel fulfilling, this conversation offers a practical framework for finding greater alignment between who you are and how you live.
