A conversation with Writer, Coach, and Consultant, Paul Millerd—
Hey Eclectic Spacewalkers!
This month, we sat down with Paul Millerd. Paul is a writer, coach, and consultant and who I would describe as the epitome of a digital nomad. He is also a freelancer and digital creator. Paul is “Trying to carve my own path. Sharing what I learn along the way” and he recently released a new book called:
Paul’s book is a fantastic read and goes deep into his personal journey through the “default path” of business school, working at McKinsey, and chasing prestige as a “world-class hoop jumper.” After a bout with Lyme disease and reassessing what is important in life, Paul realized that “wonder tips the scales” and that he was somewhat fearful in pursuing what he really wanted.
Summarizing (not absolutely) to finding and walking your “own pathless path.”
- Question the Default
- Reflect
- Figure out what you have to offer
- Pause & Disconnect
- Go make a friend
- Go make something
- Give generously
- Experiment
- Commit
- Be Patient
We thank Paul for their time, research, and eclectic mind. Enjoy the conversation, and until next time - Ad Astra!
