Breaking Free of Old Scripts and Discovering New Paths with Paul Millerd

09/28/22 • 81 min

Paul Millerd joins to share his perspective on the societal pressures that box us in and strategies to break free. Author of the Pathless Path and Creator of Strategy U, Paul is carving his own unique path and inspiring others to do the same. We talk about the power of identity, incentives, system dynamics, and scripts. We explore legible vs. illegible ambition, practicing agency, the receding frontier, reframing change, surfing on the edge of chaos, and so much more. Paul ends by sharing a bit about how his own ambition is evolving in real time.
