In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, I talk with Paul Pape about his transformative journey of self-discovery and creativity. Paul shares how he found solace in education and creativity at a young age while growing up in an abusive household. Although a teacher's criticism initially discouraged him from expressing his artistic talents, Paul continued to pursue his passions throughout his life.As a college student, Paul explored theater and design but faced challenges in finding his path. He reinvented himself multiple times, finding success in various ventures such as creating custom sculptures, teaching, and even going viral. With the help of coaching, Paul learned to embrace his emotions and individuality after years of isolation and people-pleasing.Paul's career path in theater and design was non-linear and required reinvention at different stages. After studying scenic design, he pursued various jobs, including selling pop-out furniture and teaching, before finding success in creating custom figures, which led to his design business. Paul attributes his versatile skills and openness to opportunities as essential factors in his ability to reinvent himself.Throughout the conversation, Paul emphasizes the importance of embracing one's passions without fear of judgment, leveraging the internet to connect with like-minded individuals, and valuing authenticity over popularity and wealth. He also discusses living with gratitude and focusing on simple joys, such as spending time with family and cherishing the present moment. Follow Paul's example by finding your flow, embracing creativity, and being open to a reinvention of your own journey of self-discovery.Find Paul Here: https://www.instagram.com/paulpapedesigns/ https://www.facebook.com/paulpapedesignshttps://www.youtube.com/paulpapedesigns https://twitter.com/paulpapedesignshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpape
